Elizabeth totally did shoot back. “Sex, pff, nobody cared about that, INCLUDING YOUR FATHER”. I trust Paige to get the implication.

I doubt he’ll do the full sentence. Yes, he was caught red handed with a dead drop message, and he’s a known KGB officer. However, it’s late 80's, the Cold War is ending, and he’ll probably go home soon in some prisoner swap.

I’m thinking Tim is scared shitless. That’s why he didn’t say anything to Stan.

Elizabeth took the rings. She took the rings! I worry about the spy stuff (and obviously that is their most pressing concern), but my heart has been broken the most this season by the crumbling of the Jennings’ marriage. Even though they’re now on the run, Paige hates her parents, Stan’s going to have his heart broken…

Holy shit, that chase scene was so amazing. Just as Alex pointed out in the review, the moment Philip suspected he was being watched and EVERYONE looked like they could be an agent was one of the most thrilling moments of this series.

Quite the opposite of loyalty, Stan has ample reason to kill Philip. He knows he told Philip where Gaad was vacationing. I’ll be shocked if the final “Previously on the Americans...” doesn’t feature (maybe even end with) the Widow Gaad reminding Stan that Frank would’ve wanted to be avenged.

There was like four great scenes of two people talking in a row! In addition to that one, Costa Ronin was incredible explaining to Stan why he was there, probably the best scene Kerri Russell and Holly Taylor have done together, and the gradual realization by Philip that he was already being watched while the priest…

I don’t know if that was CGI or makeup, but Kerri Russell looked just like Felicity in those flashbacks. Either Special Effects or Makeup did a hell of a job making her look like herself nearly 20 years ago.

1 (and it’ll probably be Phillip just because his death would be the most emotionally crushing death possible)

Paige goes to Russia gives birth to a girl name Osksana who later changes her name to Villanne.

He wants to catch Philip & Elizabeth. I don’t think he has any “loyalty” to them over his mission. Henry is another story.

The Liz/Paige kitchen scene just came on again and I have it on mute but good GOD Keri and Holly slay that scene!! You don’t even need the sound!

Elizabeth’s memory of the death scene from her childhood was like a perfect little poem.

If there wasn’t a “tv induced dry mouth” before there sure as hell is now.

Margo Matindale is sooooo fucking good it’s unfair. She lets a low key menace rise to almost the surface while never quite breaking through the Claudia facade. I was certain that scene was going to end in bloodshed. And, then she just goes back to eating soup. It’s such “Fuck you, Elizabeth Jennings. You made your…

Welcome back Liz’s forehead veins!

Here’s some random quotes/thoughts I wrote down as I was watching:

I think the tragedy of her character is that ultimately she’s NOT just a cold psychopath. That’s what we saw in the car with Jackson. She had reached her breaking point and could no longer kill.

OK, if both leads won’t get Emmys for this season, and the show won’t get the Best Drama award, we riot. This is a TV drama masterclass.
