I think Paige is being naive and also clinging to this idea that she can do something to undo the past and help. But it's frustrating because as you say, it's pointless. She could make another tape. She said the tape was with her lawyer. The tape might not even exist. But Paige is still at this early stage of…

Baby Chery? Her name's Claire Louise.

Were they not condoms? The actor who played Pastor Tim on Twitter totally thought they were condoms.

I don't think Elizabeth flirting extra hard means anything. Of course she was pointing to desire more than friendship. That was the point, to get him into bed.

Except the other Illegals families…

I feel like Elizabeth's own obvious reluctance gets brushed over a lot. It was PHILIP who was begging to run back to the USSR last season. Of course he knows it would better for the kids to stay in the US, but he thought it was safer. Elizabeth always wants to stay. She says it's for the Cause, but that also keeps her…

I don't think it was a whiff since he was making plans to meet her again. Though I do think it was hoping it'd be one.

You mean stopping her from having sex? I think that was strategic. Keep him coming back for more.

Yes, basically, if you define "terrible conditions" by anything not middle class US in the 80s then of course everyone not living that way is living in terrible conditions. But if you define it more objectively, it's not.

The wigs are pinned down very tightly. They went back and established that. They can shower or have sex with them on.

Interestingly, Henry seems to instinctively not give a lot of info. He once told Stan that his dad was "never around" in response to Stan asking whether he asked his dad about sex, but mostly we don't see him talking to Stan about his parents etc. Not that this doesn't mean he couldn't say something wrong at some…

According to things said outside the show, it seems that Tuan stayed in Vietnam, joined Vietnamese intelligence, and was sent over as a fake boat person when he was probably no longer a minor but passing as one.

Yeah, if they didn't want us to be wondering about him they wouldn't be sure to let us know that nobody knows where he is, including Paige or Stan. They're working up to a story with him.

I think Philip also had one in the flashback when he was 10.

Or anti-villains. They're villains, but they have conventional heroic attributes.

They might have some story planned for her, but it would make just as much sense to just give her a cameo.

Henry is getting a storyline this season. They're intentionally dropping in mentions of how he's out somewhere mysterious so that when we get to the episode when they start that storyline proper, it'll be established.

What's to study? Paige doesn't need to learn anything to take her parents down. She almost did it once already by accident. It was only exciting because they managed to save it.

That's not the same thing at all. Alexei is frustrated by the Soviet system and feels that Bennigans is an example of how everything they're doing is wrong. That is a very different thing than suggesting that Alexei felt he was living a life of physical hardship because he only had the menu at a good Moscow restaurant…

The play opens in a couple of days and is in previews now, so Feud probably finished shooting already. She's great in it, though! (Feud, I mean.)
