Yeah, there's a lot of stuff with Henry that people read as tragic or weird that seems aggressively normal to me.

Paige is not supposed to be a spy like them. She's like Martha. She's supposed to be herself at all times, with her American citizenship, and get a job at the CIA or FBI and pass on info. Sure they might push her to get more later, but it's not expected of assets in the US. Anneleise was put into that job because…

Oh, I don't want to give the impression I'm an expert at all! But the few things I do know come from people come from people who are. I just find it so interesting I always want to pass it along! I hope my Russian will be better by next season. :-)

I think he's going back to the USSR to get away from Stan. Now that he's given him the info about the bioweapon there's no way he'd be able to keep from getting used again. So he gave them one thing and then ran beyond the FBI's reach.

Couldn't that come under "just liking him?"

Well, yeah. That's always been there that he knows there's a couple operating. He checked out to see if Leanne and Emmett were that couple too—they also had two kids and he checked to see if Leanne had a bullet wound. Them having two kids and a couple has always been associated with Illegals.

She wasn't manipulating him, she just liked him. The secret folders and phone calls were just about the bioweapons program, which nobody else at the Rezidentura was in on. Oleg found out about it and was able to stop it because he was sleeping with her.

They do it sort of in English, but it's not standard and imo more about the whims of the people talking than any expected address (beyond calling somebody "Mr." vs. using their first name). So it just seemed like saying it's like calling him Mikey gave the wrong impression. It's very common for any little boy called…

It's been established that they have never had a ceremony. Elizabeth brings that up during Clark's marriage to Martha where she says maybe their marriage would have felt different if they'd had a ceremony and said vows. (They're separated at the time.)

I think most boys when they get to a certain age stop being called Mikey, yes.

But without the childish sound. It more just means "person named Mikail who I know personally."

To defend Philip here, there's no reason at all to think he was that. His concern was that she was going into the relationship that was tied to spying on Stan.

He's actually been chasing a couple for years in his mind. He's now heard there's a couple with kids, but Emmett and Leanne were exactly the same so it's not like he didn't know that was a standard set up.

No, never had a dog. That would be dangerous if they tried to sneak out at night.

I think they were interrogating him. But there was no point in demanding answers because the guy was dying. They had no leverage. Either he wanted to talk or he didn't. That's why they just followed his lead and let him talk about what he wanted.

Oh, I totally got that was the point. I just hoped this was the last time it would be made because I already got it.

She learned she was pregnant and then pretended she was leaving him for some other guy, as a result. I still don't get why she had the kid in this situation if she's trying to be an Illegal herself. And I don't get exactly what her relationship to this kid is or how he was raised. Oh, and why she thought it was a good…

I think we're supposed to take this as the confirmation. When it was originally written then didn't know if they would decide if she was lying or not. (I wish she was.)

I assume that was a reference to Philip, though Philip didn't know it was going on. Gabriel's been using Mischa's existence to manipulate him so the Centre probably thinks it's better that he not be locked up in a mental ward. They maybe checked in on him and discovered he was there, so let him out.

Stan and Gaad figured out they were Illegals.
