But Elsbeth is far from fazed.
Instead, she ups her game in another one of this shows nevertheless, she persisted moments.
Kresteva is stunned because hes never had someone come after him like this.

This scene was one of my favorites of the episode because of the palpable history between Diane and Kurt.
This reminds me of Diane and Barbaras conversation about how work gives life meaning in last weeks episode.
