I think Tuan is treated terribly by P&E. Is he not their equal, or at least to be treated like an adult who has a life besides this spy job? They're allowed their lives, but he's not allowed his. Why is he not allowed to make a phone call to his sick brother? Accepting for the moment that he was telling the truth, why

What I don't get is why is he not allowed to have his own life aside from his spy work? He's really meant to sit in that big empty house alone when he's not at school or with Pascha? It's like he's not there of his own free will. P&E run around doing their own thing leading their own double lives but he has to account

I thought the exact same thing! Why would Martha be blasting that music in her home.

Yes, I was also wondering about Anton. I hope we haven't seen the last of him. I like that Henry is just your typical American kid, ambitious to boot! I hope he isn't being recruited by Claudia, I love him as a yuppie.

I have a question, why can't Martha simply phone her parents back in the States? Surely she can find a payphone and just call them. Yes it would be expensive, but surely its possible? She has nothing more to lose so I don't see why she wouldn't do that.

I agree, that's a leap. Henry just wants to make something of his life. Most American parents would be thrilled, which is the irony. If he has been recruited, why would he lie to his parents about it - they'd be on the same side then, after all. Secondly surely Claudia knows that to do that behind Phillip and

Something occurred to me and I hope I'm wrong…..that his mother turned him in. She's the only one he confided in …she spent all those years in the camp, perhaps being brainwashed.

I haven't seen anyone else mention it, but I wonder if Henry's math skills aren't going to factor in somewhere. Maybe the KGB will need something figured out that none of their current agents are able to do? At some point he is going to be needed by either the Soviets or maybe Stan.
