They did divorce in the first season, really. When they separated etc.

I like the way presumably Philip let Elizabeth make the choice because Hans is her recruit.

I kind of hope we see them the next day and they're exhausted and sore.

I think Tuan's pretty clearly a grown man working with Vietnamese intelligence. Not that we know those details, but a grown man definitely.

I think Oleg's much less isolated, though. Nina was stuck in Siberia (literally) in jail with one other person we knew. One and a half if you count Nicolai. Oleg is still on the FBI's radar and getting set to get into trouble with the government.

Stan spent YEARS undercover! We're only meeting him after he came back and that's why he was so estranged from his family.

The real tragedy here is that Hans is apparently the best spy ever. You can be introduced to him numerous times and he's still so forgettable you won't know who he is the next time you see him.

Good, I didn't remember that either. And of course they'd have their backstories straight. Tuan's not going to be improvising and neither are they.

But with Jared I thought they signposted pretty clearly that it wasn't that he just became a fanatic, it was that him learning the truth behind his parents' back completely destabilized him—as it would. It's informed the whole Paige storyline in a way. As crushed as she's been, she always goes back to her parents…

She thinks she's supposed to be like that but when she's staring it in the face she sees how awful it is.

I don't think Elizabeth wants to go back either. I mean, on one level she does because she's such a patriot. But I think she's also scared at going back and it not seeming like home, or not living up to her expectations or whatever. I think Philip is possibly the one who'd be better at making the transition. He just…

Hopefully she'll give them a break about it when Philip tells her that nobody told HIM about this kid either. Stupid Irina.

I though that too. I didn't trust myself to recognize Henry, even when he looked a bit Vietnamese. Then I thought he might be the kid at the table with no friends, because he still only hangs out with middle aged men.

I think it was honestly a heads-up that there's a story going with Henry. He's not hanging with Stan as much anymore and we'll probably find out he's got his own thing going. But still, catch out Henry goes into his "Stan voice" when he walks in, like he's got a personality he uses with Stan. He's a natural.

It seems like they've always been pretty consistent in saying that where Elizabeth is really into the Cause Philip, while being a believer in Socialism, is more about people. So he does care about people in the USSR. Not in the sense of caring about the Centre and what they want, but like you say, he knows where he…

If that were Margo Martindale in that coffin she would have gotten an Emmy for it.

I think Philip is also a true believer—in Elizabeth. He's made that clear from the beginning. Sure he's the one that wants to retire—and he'd be happy to do that in the USSR too. But I don't think he'd consider defection without Elizabeth any sort of happy ending.

Yeah, I never get the idea that Stan's being an idiot with P&E. I can't think of a single thing they've done that should be telegraphing to him that they're spies, or even have anything suspicious going on.

I think Philip would like Stan more without his job—I mean, not just because their jobs make them mortal enemies, but because Philip always has to make sure to play the wimp with Stan and Stan can be pretty selfish. It's only now that he's starting to be generous because he's desperate to make Paige is daughter in law…
