Forgive me if others have mentioned this, but while watching this episode it occurred to me that the storyline with Pasha and his family is a mirror of what Philip and Elizabeth are thinking of doing to their own kids. I think that what's going to stop them is the thought of coming home to their apartment in Moscow…

There's a place in SF that sells the real stuff. I'd hope that you could find it somewhere in Brighton Beach too, but I don't know for sure.

No, not at all. Please let me know what they say.

I'm a little concerned about Gabriel's "pierogi." In Russia they are called vareniki or pelmeni (depending on the filling). So is Gabriel an infiltratator? Also, I didn't see any sour cream on the table- no wonder Elizabeth turn them down (without even asking about the filling).
