I thought I'd move my response, here.

He ruined Martha's life and her parents (she was their only child). He felt guilty. Some audience members thought that was love. The Hollywood Reporter pointed out that Elizabeth thought it was love, too. Keri said that Elizabeth's feelings, sparked by jealousy, are not proof of what the truth is.
I wonder how you and I thought differently about the use of Tusk and The Chain in the series as opposed to viewers who were not FM fans. I thought that Tusk worked very well in the pilot, but later when they used
The Chain for the sequence where they (with Hans) kidnapped that student I wasn't that impressed. And I think I might have been if
The Chain didn't have a completely different meaning for me, due to the band.
I mean, I think the song can be used in the show in an episode where Phillip and (finally) Elizabeth want to get out of the KGB and can't because of their history, because the physical threat they face when they leave (death) and because of Elizabeth's emotional ties to their cause.
I guess I associate a particular feeling with
The Chain so that I don't see it as the soundtrack to an espionage action scene.
