Hmmm... isn't that because she named him Nick in the cassette?

RandomMess · 14/07/2019 21:55

Yes June said that he had met Nick.

OytheBumbler · 14/07/2019 21:56

Have they heard the cassette?

Also is George gay? What was that shoulder stroke?

CurbsideProphet · 14/07/2019 21:56

The Swiss heard from their Canadian contacts about the tape and will have worked out who Nick is.

Those mouths Shock just horrific.

Crinkle77 · 14/07/2019 21:56

Is the DC commander gay? The look Fred have when he had his hand in his shoulder.

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 21:56

How would he know that's the commander she's talking about though? Nick was a driver when she spoke of him on the tape!

CaptainMyCaptain · 14/07/2019 21:57

I assumed they'd got Nick's name from the cassette and found out who he was.

Crinkle77 · 14/07/2019 21:57

All those children could be a cover for the fact that he is gay.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 14/07/2019 21:57

Anyone else think the Nazi imagery is a bit heavy handed?

OytheBumbler · 14/07/2019 21:57

Why would Luke play the cassette to anyone though?

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 21:57

Fred getting sexually harassed - will be interesting to see how he deals with it!

Triskaidekaphilia · 14/07/2019 21:58

@Crinkle77 DH reckoned so, not just the hand but apparently he put his bum very close to Fred before that which I didn't notice!

TheSpottedZebra · 14/07/2019 21:58

What is with the new Commander's touching of Fred, and the arse in the face.
Is he a GENDER TRAITOR?

OhHolyJesus · 14/07/2019 21:59

Nick is delaying his move to Chicago/The Front, as a junior commander he must have negotiated that somehow. Luke has the tape that names him as the father.

Canada and the Swiss know Nick is Holly/Nichole's Dad do they are using a baby and a vulnerable women as a bargaining chip.

jinglebitch · 14/07/2019 21:59

Has anyone else noticed all the "games" imagery this week? Looked like a bulls eye/curling rink at the station, and then a chess board. This whole series has been like a chess game. Slow, strategic moves.

Roussette · 14/07/2019 21:59

Yes deffo a gay overture

Triskaidekaphilia · 14/07/2019 22:00

I was wondering why Luke did that as well, but I'm thinking he was trying to prove that neither of the Waterfords was Nicole's father, therefore they had no parental claim to her.

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 22:00

I'm so scared this whole episode!

viques · 14/07/2019 22:01

Oh June, be careful........ You don't know who is watching.

Roussette · 14/07/2019 22:01

Can't they hide behind a tree or something? Ridiculous they are just stood in the road!

Flaskfan · 14/07/2019 22:02

June gets to sneak around in.Washington.too? In a stricter place than Boston?

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 14/07/2019 22:06

WTF Nick?

EtonM3ss · 14/07/2019 22:06

so Nick was instrumental in bringing gilead about?

happycoffeedrinker1979 · 14/07/2019 22:07

What did nick do before ? I'm confused

Destinysdaughter · 14/07/2019 22:07
