I think of all the characters I really sympathize with Oleg the most.

Sofia works for Tass.

Or her soon to be hockey player husband realizes there's a ton of money to be made and is in a better position to feed A&B information as a result of it.

Maybe or maybe not. I think Elizabeth will tell her about that first.

Oh, damn, no wonder it seemed weird. I really thought this was the last week (the trailer from the end of last's weeks episode implied this was the last one).

It felt like a waste of time in the episode - really could have been left out completely and nothing would have been missed. Compared to other episodes/seasons this finale just felt disjointed and had a lot of little scenes that really didn't seem like finale material. This is one of the few episodes that I felt…

Not really. Are we really supposed to care about Pascha with all the other stuff that can potentially go wrong? I expected much more of a serious cliffhanger than someone going for a walk on the sidewalk.

I usually don't have much negative to say about this series but this was more of a sleeper episode than I had expected.

Well, that too…but he probably knows his father did not chose to be a guard in the camp, and, in this instance the Nazis made Natalie intoxicated after they killed her family then ordered her to kill those prisoners.

She wasn't a collaborator - she was drunk and forced to shoot the prisoners.

She was drunk when she shot the soldiers and under extreme duress from having her family killed and having to bury the bodies.

I have to wonder if the murder of the couple will somehow become part of an investigation leading to them - the execution of a woman with a Russian background and husband who was US military should set off alarm bells.

Maybe Stan's admiration for Henry is their saving grace in the end.

Nothing is more inhumane than what humans can conjure up to kill each other.

Natalie's recollection of her horror brought me back to the time I saw Winds of War when it first was on TV and then a few years later when I saw Schindler's List.

I would imagine Philip sympathized with Natalie because of what his own father likely did.

At first I though the killing the husband could have been an act of mercy, but, it could have also been a way to deprive Natalie of everything she loved moments before being killed herself - as well as eliminating any witness.

It has been claimed that between 1982-1984 the Soviets weaponized Burkholderia mallei
and used it in Afghanistan against the Mujahideen. So, there is quite possibly a hint of truth here with regards to Claudia's affirmation (although it was a different biological agent).

Interesting, thanks!

Philip has some humanity left. Elizabeth is just KGB Model 101 Series 800.
