Tony has to clamp his teeth together to stop himself with a rapid fire we're engaged, and it's a near thing.
That Mrs. Hendrix is powerwalking away helps, Tony drifting in her wake as he darts a look backwards to the little winter fair around them. This all feels so normal (give or take secret twins) that it's hard not to want to look harder than necessary for whatever's lurking beneath the surface.
That, and he doesn't really think this woman is Cosima's sister.
Hard to say why, when it's the cleanest explanation and what does he know, professional only child with all the related neuroses that he is, but it's a tickling unease that insists itself. He also doesn't like being brought to a secondary location, which is why he leans aside towards Kostos and says, "If I say 'scatter', turn her into a frog while I get the fire alarm."
