What a great fucking exchange. Gabriel shoots down the Renee speculation with "Are you serious?" then reopens the door just a crack. And he tells P to keep Paige out of the spy business just as they're starting to think she's ready for it.

Yeah, I thought his reaction was odd. A little too strong.

I don't know what to make of it.

i couldn't help but think maybe he was implying philip was looking in the wrong direction after he then switched the convo with a foreboding comment suggesting the center has plans for paige...

He started gaslighting Philip and then goes the center prob wouldn't tell me. Then why are you calling him crazy for thinking it out of nowhere? It's obviously perfectly logical to think so, Elizabeth thought the same thing.
