And in the second episode, in the laundromat scene, that was clearly a 90’s style pepsi machine.
- I don’t think she’s preggers. YET.
- We still don’t know. Philip means that the KGB will make sure their son is okay, but they will have to do it without giving away the real identities of his parents.
3 and 4. Not sure who/what you’re referring to.
I think the “Nina look-alike” is an agent posing as a Nicaraguan student because Elizabeth talked about “their” revolution giving “us” a foothold in the Americas.
As for Nina, she’s walking a fine line. She has to give Stan just enough info to make herself look like a legitimate source while trying to pump him (no pun intended) for the information her superiors want.
Anybody think that the science guy at the embassy is GRU?
For those who don’t know, GRU was Sov Military intelligence and rival to the KGB
Seems unlikely to me. They said last week that he was the son of a Party bigwig, which would pretty much keep him from flying under the radar, which I would think is what you want in an intelligence agent, especially one assigned to a rival Soviet agency.
But this week’s show did make it look as if he was smarter than his buffoonish facade, so you may be right.
Maybe he’ll get a “life insurance” check? Did however killed them even bother to make it look like a robbery, if not this case is going to raise a lot of eyebrows.
I was initially totally puzzled as to who Paige was calling about, but I guess it was the address where they had heard that their sick aunt was, when in fact their mom was recuperating in secret?
Did anyone else get the vibe that the mole with the electrified safe in his floor had been the lover of his previous handler?
Nina is now a triple agent. Stan mentioned to Nina that the FBI knew there was a walk in at the embassy and I seem to recall he said they knew the time frame he walked in. Later when she is typing her report, she does not mention this, instead going on about her sex with Stan. This would be very important information to protect the walk-in, who is just as good as caught. Nina turning herself in was just buying more time to become a defector herself.
Nina was the one who told Stan about the walk-in. Probably wouldn’t be a good idea to put it in her report.
Thanks for the correction. She is still providing the FBI with good info and feeding her boss crap. I still think she is going to turn on Stan for killing the attache.
No, but I’ve wondered how they’d handle a gay male target. Would Phillip actually have sex with him, or would they just hire a rent boy and blackmail him? I’m guessing Elizabeth has had to engage in some lesbianism; at least as part of threeways.
I’m wondering about Stan being at the travel agency. When three FBI agents show up at a business, I guess I’d check for listening devices after they left. Is he on to them?
I think it was just a bachelor party, but I can’t wait until he throws a house party or barbecue and both Phillip and Martha show up. 
How did her distress call to Elizabeth work… I missed it??
I’m not sure how it works exactly, but presumably the agent in distress contacted the KGB and the KGB sent a coded message to Elizabeth. That was the phone call Elizabeth received before she rushed out the door with the kids.
Well it was kind of obvious Elizabeth wasn’t going to deliver the letter; there’s no possible way it wouldn’t cause a huge mess. I wonder how many other nieces and nephews Aunt Helen has.
I am presuming that Aunt Helen is the answer to our questions of what happens to the kids.
I’m getting tired of the creepy-voiced guy that says “Viewer Discretion Advised.” It’s not like this is a horror movie. The same network gives the same warning for Justified without making you roll your eyes.
Just a thought; the Embassy’s Chief of Security couldn’t meet with the walk-in because he was at the supermarket with his wife. :eek: Where Soviet diplomats allowed to take their families with them on foreign postings like Western diplomats? I always though the wife & kids were expected to stay home (so as to discourage defections).
I think it’s more for the rather graphic, though non-nude, depictions of sex acts.
