Also, Martha is a wanted traitor who would be arrested asap after setting foot on US soil.

I was genuinely surprised that she didn't have even a moment of "Okay, yeah, so those people I told are now threatening to destroy you" in the ep. Because if Alice did that over this mistake, there's nothing to stop her doing it for any other reason.

I assumed that was just because she specifically wanted someone in Oleg's department and he would know the best person. Many superiors probably wouldn't have a clue about computers.

We've had characters saying she was on her way and then characters saying she's in Russia. And no real reason for them to have set up some elaborate trip to Prague or Cuba that they lied even to each other about just so they could tell Philip she was there.

Oh—then I agree. It obviously had a big effect on how she views this stuff. And really was just more of the same that she seemed to get from her mother.

Seriously, Pastor Tim is just a terrible Pastor. He's done so many things just on that level. Not villainous, not murderous, but just a terrible pastor. That's exactly what I thought when he told—oh, do your parishioners know that you tell all their secrets to your wife? So they're probably talking to her at pot lucks…

It'd be great if he did that and Paige reacted by being judgmental about his mother.

Yipes! That sounds awful. I often feel that way with head injuries. My brother got hit in the head and while he recovered really well it took a long time with residual damage. On TV shows people act like you can just crack someone over the head to knock them out and it's no big deal.

Not to mention you're basically telling Matthew your parents are Soviet spies so that he can tell you what he knows about his dad's work, which is next to nothing. It would have the opposite result.

Probably wouldn't help. Pastor Tim could have Philip and Elizabeth arrested and Paige and Henry sent to Russia as a result and people would still say it was part of his long-term job of turning Paige.

I really don't think everybody's constantly testing everybody at the KGB. Elizabeth obviously felt she could say yes, so she did. She's still on board to do it if they can't find another way.

No, what you saw was a quick clip of an earlier episode when he was in his office at night so he was in front of blue walls. There's no reason to think he didn't run out of gas.

Except obviously he doesn't have to choose between feeding starving people or staying home. He didn't go to Ethiopia because it was the only way he could help with the famine.

She knows what he looks like. Besides that, a spy trade is when Americans trade Soviet spies they have captured for American spies that the Soviets have captured. You're saving your own people, not trading one captured enemy spy for another that the Soviets have already gone to the trouble of getting out of the US.…

Elizabeth's rape was not part of her training. She was raped because the senior officers were given the perk of doing whatever they wanted to female recruits. She wasn't told to suck it up, she just sucked it up and didn't tell anyone.

Every time I think her eyes are finally open it turns out she's got another layer of lid under there.

Did she really call her from inside their house? That seems impossible. Didn't she use a payphone then too?

That's definitely one possibility.

Or the clip is there to remind the audience that he's in Thailand, not link it to Philip.

Unfortunately Paige didn't notice their "proof" in this ep, the fact that they hadn't killed Pastor Tim yet.
