So many parts of this episode make it a good one. The connection to 1917 and the former King during World War I was interesting and great to watch. One of The Crown's biggest strengths is its depiction of historic events and how this intertwines with the crown. It does not limit itself to its historic setting but goes back to earlier times to show the rich and complicated past. The Romanov family and their sad demise was a good storyline and it tied really nicely to Boris Yeltsin and who he was as a leader.
One of the other big moments in the episode was the rift between Elizabeth and Prince Phillip. Two different souls who are still committed to each other. Phillip is still trying to keep himself engaged with life and find something for himself. The dialogue and heated exchange between the pair was great writing and direction. Yet another strength of the crown and it's rich dialogue and depth behind it. I am liking the balance this season is having so far by giving enough screen time to all its main characters.
7.5/10.
