Whatever hell is, it must feel something like that, he tells his sister.
Sure, Elizabeth was young, but she sat there and said nothing, did nothing.
You know she carries that guilt even still.
It is tragically not a surprise to anyone when, one day, John shoots himself in the head.
In those brief flashbacks, its easy to see how Elizabeth became who she is today.
Shes constantly asking questions, seeking truth, and trusting in the science of things.
She is honest to a fault.
Among other things, this means that Elizabeth has a legion of loyal fans who trust her implicitly.
It couldnt be the furthest from the truth.
At first, she refuses.
In the next show, she hawks for Swift & Crisp.
Phil thinks hes broken her in, finally.
Shes let Phil turn her into something shes not.
Finally, Harriet calls her out on it.
Emotions are running high over at the Sloane house.
She also wants Elizabeths.
She is so removed from whats happening outside her bubble that its infuriating.
Thankfully, Harriet doesnt let Elizabeth get away with being oblivious for too long.
Harriet will press on without her, but what a disappointment.
She couldnt have saved him, but she couldve been in his corner.
So, of course, Elizabeth ends up talking about the protest on air.
But Elizabeth refuses to take it from him this time.
She has the power in this situation.
If Phil could replace her, he would have done so a long time ago.
And Phil knows it.
Elizabeth is done letting the Man (andaman) dictate her life.
And so comes the big freeway protest.
He was terrified, which was exactly why he was worried about doing it in the first place.
Its not because of his job or his reputation at work; who cares about that?
Hes just scared of losing his wife.
What if shes the one beaten up and put in the hospital next time?
Theyve worked so hard to build a life together and to find success and happiness.
What does it matter if youre not here?
he says, breaking down.
She holds him and assures him shes not going anywhere.
Im here, she tells him.
I would die for these two!!
She needs to find a new way forward.
Mainly, it finally forces Elizabeth to really talk to her daughter about Calvin.
Things in the Zott house will be different from now on.
The person who wrote this one, an Avery Parker, mentions a specific St. Lukes boys school.
Now Mad knows exactly where to find more information about her father.
But thats not the only discovery happening here.
Mad, your dad is Calvin Evans?
he asks like he knows or, rather, knew Calvin.
), was never told or never heard that Elizabeths late partner was a famous scientist named Calvin Evans?
Yes, but Im also willing to buy it for the story.
Hey, that man is probably very busy!
Fran Frask is back!
Elizabeth hires her as her chief of staff immediately.
Im sorry, was that a little crush I saw develop when Walter gets introduced to Fran?
c’mon say yes!
When he tells the camera to push in on the flyer, knowing it could cost him his job?
I knew it from the moment I saw her; that is a star right there.
Phil can truly, madly, deeply get bent.
