What I never understood was the Center's assurance that Evgenia would continue that affair in the USSR. It was very tenuous. She told Elizabeth that she had sex with the guy. They observed them together once, as far as we know. She never talked to E. about it again, and I never got the idea that it was even an…

Not some little kid. Little Olya!

I think they just made a literary choice because they needed something kind of big and scary sounding so Paige could get all anxious about the USSR being bombed by Reagan and not be able to talk to Henry about it and her parents weren't home. It was just to have her have that reaction. I think we can just accept it…

I thought the big thing was that Paige got her license!

I know I have yelled that very thing.

Uncalled for.

But any good Officer could pick up that mission. They'd find a Tuan-like fake teen to befriend Kimmy. It doesn't have to be him. I don't see why Elizabeth thinks it does.

What is GYBR?

Don't you mean a LAFF riot?

but in a good way!

But he told them how super unhappy he was for many years. She was probably remembering that. Or just how neither she nor Philip could've done it alone.

Au revoir on this one

Now is your shining moment.

If it was August, the kids wouldn't have been doing homework.

My dread usually starts on Tuesday morning, when I'm reminding household members, "don't forget, my show is on tonight. Don't talk to me after 9:50 pm." Then I start worrying about what's going to happen.
Well now I have a year off of that dread. I'll miss it!

Upvote for saying how "right" it was. That's it.

I always thought that when Stan had said that his prior undercover work went really deep that maybe he had pulled a Clark in some way, had a relationship with an insider in that group he had infiltrated. That's my only explanation for why he would suspect Renee of doing that. It looked like he was just amazed about…

And that line about "self-criticism" killed me as perfect. That was a huge thing in China, people had to criticize AND "self-criticize." Love that the writers knew about that. Loved that Tuan said it.

A sociopath or just trained too young. No wisdom. No judgment. He just wants to break eggs to make an omelet
