Security. Anything he says is information to the FBI. And in diplomacy there is no reply other than what he will get from the Soviet Ambassador and Foreign Minister: they will indignantly protest innocence and kick out a US diplomat in retaliation.

Martha alive is ALSO a threat. She could pass info to someone in the US, her family for instance that might blow Phillip's cover. It is a handy little bit of hidden info. However I think they had a lot to gain by taking her to Moscow on several fronts. And the cost isn't all that much. Plus if they get a rep for that…

A few thoughts.
- Did we know that Irina had been arrested before “Persona Non Grata”? Did Gabriel let Philip know about it when he told Philip about Mischa? Yes he did, he said she had been arrested and was being taken to Moscow for trial. I assumed that meant she was already dead.

Henry is in Beemon's camp pretty deeply and that will be a plot twist for sure. I think back to when Henry rescued Paige from the creep in Season 1 though and end of day Henry is a family man.

One day Stan is gonna kick himself in the @ss over that. But a married couple with 2 kids is not a clue, ther could easily be a…

Well he did retire….

Setting up a nice plot for next season there!

I'm ambivalent, I'd say they are borderline psychopaths. They do in fact kill people without any seeming thought or regret. Consider Phillip's first murder was at age 10…

I was referring to my general perception. Spies have to lie and lie and lie. They have to make up stories on the spot. They have to do things without reflection of a conscience. They cannot maintain normal connections and relationships due to the circumstances but then they are selected to be people who wouldn't…

That's what Dr. Lecter said.

I am in awe of you.

I know, they get really overdone after that.

That can't be avoided. But I never brag when I murder a drifter.

My name is Donald Trumpet, and YOU'RE FIRED!

In the USA like it or not the law is "your employer can fire you for no reason at all, or any reason that seems good to them as long as it is not a prohibited discriminatory one. Perhaps it should not be …etc. etc.
