Yeah, exactly. It's basically all the more reason for them to punish him as a rogue agent (which he totally was). Plus it was a joint operation with the CIA that kidnapped Vlad so now they'd be after him too.

Stan's last girlfriend had just as much of a name and build-up and she went nowhere.

If Gabriel is telling him not to speak Russian, I think we can assume he speaks some English. Since that's the only language Gabriel's going to speak. There's no reason they can't just give a reason why he speaks it.

I think Gregory was different because she wasn't manipulating him into it. He was committed and knew what was going on, unlike Young Hee or Martha.

It was more like Paige shut her down.

I think that's why they made a point of showing how long it took to get it off. If Martha didn't yank it off during sex, I think Elizabeth's safe.

They're really not uninvolved in his life.

I thought they were saying that she wanted to meet with them both together and therefore the meeting hasn't happened yet. We'll get it next week, probably.

Women wear wigs too.

Plus they're working Paige. Why would they go behind their back when the Jennings are proving their point that having the parents do it is better?

No, they were 80s too.

Who says the KGB isn't interested in him as an asset? They want both kids. They picked Paige first because she's older, not because she has any aptitude for it whatsover.

It's not just the absentee thing, imo. Their older daughter, even before she was in on the secret, was an absolutely attention suck. She's always in their face, bringing them anything going on in their life as a dramatic thing. She takes up a lot of their attention when they're home. Henry's the non-squeaky wheel who…

He does actually look quite a bit like Tuan.

Not that this makes him not nice, but he was friends with Henry because he was replacing Matthew with a younger kid who was easier to look like a hero around. All while NEGLECTING HIS OWN KID. Matthew even said this. And Henry would hang out at Stan's when his parents were home. The draw of Stan's house was the…

No, Paige was 15. She's 16 now. He's like 14 at the most.

He might not be acting out. There's a theory that's really interesting that they're being called in because the teacher thinks he's brilliant.

I think we're getting it next week.

That would not be growing up fast. By Paige's age most people are beyond that. She's growing verrrry slowly and deliberately.

It was Philip who made that observation, of course. Elizabeth just accepts what the Centre tells her and thinks anything Alexei says is a lie. Philip listened and saw the logic. And he cares about the people in Russia getting food more than anything.
