When Taylor Mason (Asia Kate Dillon) dresses in women's clothing to make her appearance acceptable to the Qadiri officials (who are styled after the Saudi royals and who, as devout Muslims, would not tolerate the presence of a woman dressed in gender neutral garb) her entire ensemble, down to her wig and classic black dress, is styled to resemble Wendy Rhoades (Maggie Siff).
In the most literary sense, this was the moment when Taylor betrayed her personal values, and began the long, inevitable downslide to defeat, signaling the connection between virtue and victory and the inverse connection between betrayal of the self and the forfeiture of one's aims.
