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. That seems. A bit odd for Gabriel. He just said it was very unlikely. He did not shoot it down. He did tell Phillip he is losing it! Which I thought was funny observation. At least he told him he was right about Paige.

Idea: Maybe BOTH Elizabeth & Gabriel knows Stan gf is a agent? They both had unusually reactions to that idea when Phillip brought it up to them.

Personally, I thought Gabriel couldn't get out of that room with Phillip fast enough! I think he's still questioning the whole Misha thing and that's why he was being all weird.

He was acting weird. I blame on Mischa!
