I can just imagine a flashback of Peter saying "it was just like this time I was on The Americans" and cue to him doing something that gets everyone killed as he slowly tiptoes away.

I skated through the 80s (literally) with T-shirts, Levis, and either Vans, Pumas, or Nikes. Was never someone to wear jackets so I avoided being a Members Only clone. Even in the age of pastel suits and wearing deck shoes without socks I managed to stay a bit normal :)

Remember shoulder pads? Jeesh.

Do a search for "Jordache Metropolitan Jeans" and you should see some similar ones to what I think Elizabeth was wearing.

Parachute pants were tighter and were made from the same kind of material as parachutes. The ones Elizabeth wore in the health food store look like they could be fold-overs. They were a distinct style prior to the later 80s styles.

I wonder though if someone was rough during sex (like running hands through the hair) if the wig is secure enough for that.

That was my thought as well. The assistant AG could simply lie and Stan would have no way to know.

Yeah, I'm hoping that somehow Oleg finds out that Stan wasn't the one to throw him under the bus.

I thought that it was left off as "the school wants us to come in" but the time was never established for when that would actually happen. It's hilarious that even as spies P&E seem to know little about what Henry is actually doing.

That's why it will be interesting to see how Elizabeth shows up next time with the scientist. Will she forgo a wig and dye her hair and cut it to match the wig?

No, actually they were in the 80s too. Now that I've Googled it I do recall some girls in high school wearing them - though quite uncommon since the skin tight jeans were more desirable (especially for how they looked!) They were modified a bit later in the 80s when MC Hammer became popular.

They look like balloon pants which were sort of a thing for a short time in the 80s (also called harem pants later in the 80s when they were redesigned a bit). Personally I only recall colored corduroy and the name brand disco jeans like Jordache, Sassoon, Calvin Klein, Sergio Valente, etc.

I was wondering about the health food store and bulk foods - I don't ever recall seeing such a thing when I was a kid.

"You do what you need to do to survive."

Yeah, it was another clever set of scenes - no words being spoken, and instead of seeing Paige/Matthew playing around with Elizabeth sneaking around we got the opposite instead. Pastor Tim having condoms in the drawer and showing Marx to Paige really changes our view of him.

Probably not intentional but it did lead to the US losing market share to other nations such as Canada and Australia as a result of it. In fact it is something we never recovered from and now most of our grain is exported to Asia as a result of it.

The last part is factual - we had lax standards with regards to the percentage of filler that could be in grain when compared to standards in other nations. Some part of it was corruption - officials being paid to look the other way. Was any of it intentional? We'll probably never know. But creating a species to…

Based on historical facts the USA was indeed exporting bad grain - rotten, infested, full of debris, etc. - to many nations but whether it was intentional is unknown - so the paranoia would be completely understandable. At the best it was just due to incompetence. But the facts seem to indicate it was the result of…

This was a time when computers didn't really exist for immigration purposes, and, even US passports were just cheaply laminated crap (I recall my first one just being lamination over the very photo I sent to the passport office - with a substantial gap around it). In fact it would have probably been very easy to…

My thoughts exactly (about the wig). Does that mean she needs to color her real hair in preparation for the followup visit?
