Yes, we knew Irina was arrested. The woman's entire life seems set up to bug Philip. First she dumps him and tells him she's leaving him for someone else. Then she shows up 19 years later and says she lied, she was actually pregnant but knew he wouldn't be an Illegal (or something?) if he had a kid. But she had the…

Or maybe more obviously, the opposite of the person they're hiding? If people see you as being bumbling and limited physically, they're less likely to see you as superman. If people see you as suburbanites with no interest in politics it's hard to imagine you as a spy. Or look at how well Philip subtly encourages…

Most Russian names have a set number of short/affectionate forms that are used by family and friends as just standard. Many of the male names have forms that end in an a. There are also diminutives beyond that too where you can add other endings. So a standard short form of Mikail is Misha but the bullies also refer…

I took that also as Henry starting to pick up on being an outsider in something at home because he doesn't pay attention. I think part of his interest in the Beemans is that they're different from his own family and Stan seems exciting as an FBI agent, but it's time for him to realize his family isn't just boring. He…

But it's not like they live in the Bible Belt where they'd almost have to go. If their absence was noted by neighbors they'd probably pick up on it and go. Stan doesn't go to church either and it's possible other people on the block don't as well.

That is genius.

We've seen the office with a couple of people working and P&E seem to usually be there during the day. Or at least it's not unusual when they're there during the day. The staff isn't KGB.

That's a pretty broad statement that most spies are sociopaths. I'm not seeing that in the characters in the show or even in real life. Part of what's great about this show it it shows that spies are just normal human behavior pushed to more of an extreme.

Honestly, I almost felt like that should be illegal, taking out those windows. Don't buy it if you don't want the responsibility!

We weren't told what operation that is. Maybe something we haven't seen yet or won't see.

But where else would they come from? There's only been one mission to get the codes, and that's the Young Hee one. If Philip has the codes they had to have come from that.

No, he did give up William. He told Stan that they had a man in the lab, which he knew from Tatiana. He pointed him specifically at William.

I'm not sure why you think so. When she's outnumbered by people bigger than she is she just hits as hard as she can. if one of the guys pulls a knife on her that includes turning the knife around on him. She was in a real struggle with the guy.

That's why i said presumably. They didn't find it in his office, but took stuff off his computer, and now they have them. So the trip to the office was successful.

I thought that too, that it seems like it ought to be a part of the fallout that Oleg turned in an actual Illegal personally, and that that guy might lead to several more. He may have thought it was just some American on their payroll. The personal fingering of William specifically seems like it shouldn't just be a…

The kids were born in the US but the idea of actually getting them into the cause is a new one that seems to have been thought up by people totally out of touch back in Russia. i think they kind of have been addressing this with everything with Paige, but the idea of her parent eliminating her is just not ever going…

She didn't have the ability to kill there anyway. She tried to fight them and was overpowered and caught. Then she managed to flip herself into the street to let the motorcycle take care of them. She chose not to kill Gaad, but that was a moment where she was holding a gun on him so she actually was in control,…

I don't see how emotion would have changed things that much. Two guys bigger than she is approached and one pulled a knife on her. She was always going to turn that back on him. Philip did the same thing to Amador and that was one guy and Philip is bigger. The power imbalance was in the men's favor there, not…

They don't keep anything there that I remember. I think honestly the whole reason for the line is to get Henry out of the room (as usual). Elizabeth wouldn't tell him to poke around in there if she was keeping top secret stuff there. He's probably looked in the garage for stuff plenty of times.

I think it was even "Ma" so totally did sound like Hiroshima.
