This show isn't really about mutually assured destruction or an invasion of West Germany. It's about two KGB spies in Washington DC who live next to a FBI agent. We do know the Cold War ends but we don't know what happens to Liz and Phil.

The funny thing is, Elizabeth mentioned this in the episode. It's about more than wearing a nice suit or what you can buy. It's about the Revolution and freedom for humanity. Suffer now to be more free later—that was always the sales pitch.
It's about much more than nationalism. It's about state religion- Capitalism vs Communism.

I don't know why, but the cats on Jess's car, and then her reaction to it were my favorite parts of this episode.
