I don't think Larrick is a good person, he's simply a finely tuned killing machine like Philip and Elizabeth. The difference is Larrick serves the country that has and always had the moral high ground over the Soviet Union because communism is the most evil and despotic ideology every wrought on mankind. It's hardy…

Somewhere in the heavens a man that used to have half a face waits for her.

Well Stan's recklessness did almost get Gaad fired as well as incarcerated.

Stan has done the same thing, only he did it because he thinks Nina loves him which makes him stupid. So why is Larrick a villain and not Stan? Because we know more about Stan and his motives?

Great episode. I'm actually rooting for Larrick who, when we get down to it, hasn't done anything worse than Philip or Elizabeth. It's actually tragic that there was once a time when being gay meant you had to hide who you were to stay in the military and left you susceptible to that kind of blackmail and extortion.

I don't think you're giving Paige enough credit. At 14 you should want to explore new ideas like God or nuclear disarmament. She might grow tired of the church later in life like a lot of people do and find something else.

"If Stan applies his brains, then Nina's goose is cooked."

While I was immediately put-off by the church accepting $600 uninflation adjusted dollars from a 14 year old, I don't think it is a cult.

Larrick knows they are KGB and have take over Emmett and Leann's position as his handlers.. He just did not know they were going to do that much damage to the camps by actually killing people.

Like I've said before, Lev Gorn deserves a main cast credit since I think he's been in every episode this season with substantially more lines than Misner.

But on the other hand I like that the show is sort of hinting that the best efforts of Philip and Elizabeth and Arkady are ultimately futile in changing the Soviet Union's hopeless position.

I'm not sure what was more terrifying: Philip blowing up at Paige and ripping the Bible up or the last scene in the church.

I mean he was kind of having a Counselor Troi moment of pointing out the obvious. Of course the man obviously seething with rage is…angry and in pain.

I was surprised to see Vasili again. How the heck did he avoid the Gulag or a bullet? He knows he was not guilty and I thought it was strongly implied that he knew Nina set him up as they were arresting him.

Pretty much most leaders are smart enough not to ask or want to know what their clandestine services do.

Stan came close to exposing them last season (he even shot Elizabeth), but Nina told him the agents he was hunting were sent back to the USSR so he's seemingly moved beyond that.

No, he seems pretty oblivious to it. I mean he's aware of the rumors but he's too self-absorbed to pay them any heed.

I feel like the show is kind of cheating by making Stan implausibly stupid. Nina essentially just told him she knows he killed Vlad, who was a friend of hers and was very upset about last season.

You know, it wouldn't at all be implausible if this whole thing was just Oleg's plot to get Nina into bed. And that's it, no other motive.

I'm wondering why Lev Gorn hasn't been given main cast billing. He's been in every episode and has had far more lines than Martha or Stan's wife.
