This episode was about humans, fragile fallible humans, prone to emotion, even while in thrall to duty and honor. Elizabeth and Claudia want to kill each other, but they have their duty. The political priest has a duty to God and Poland, but his honor is so fragile even he thinks he must have broken it. Stan and his wife know their duties to each other, but Stan's duty to Nina mixes him up. Also mixed up is Phillip, due his old duty to Irina (and her possible son), and his current duty to Elizabeth and their kids.
In the end, when Phillip tells Elizabeth nothing happened, even he's not sure whether or not he's lying. I don't think he lied, but I'm not the writer.
Powerful stuff, as usual.
