Good episode!
I like how the first scene with the racketball game is foreshadowing how the series will go. Stan will keep wearing Phillip down until he makes a mistake - but Phillip will ultimately find a way to stab Stan in the back. Not sure if the foreshadowing continues with Stan having to take a phonecall and leave, But Phillip saying "I'll get a win any way I can" is sort of foreshadowing as well, except it's not true? He's on the path to giving in to his emotions and letting wins slip away...
I thought there was gonna be a gunshot immediately after the wife got in the van, honestly. Still sad though... Can't tell if Phil and Elizabeth knew what was going to happen...? But surely they would... I think it makes sense. They have these emotional struggles but ultimately they can't let themselves be swayed by it. Yet.

Gregory! Esteemed character actress Margo Martindale! Ripple effect characters, one to be able to show honesty, the other-- well, not so much. So great to see how their willingness or desperation to open to someone and how they are ordered to do it are not as different as one might think.
