I agree it's not in their nature to do, but that doesn't mean it isn't manifestly necessary.

That might be the theory but it is so very obvious (even a bit to our oblivious lead duo) that is NOT the case. He is needy. And even if he's a coworker a good handler has to pay attention to the mental and emotional heatlh of a subject. Certainly by this point they know Tuan is unstable. They got a good dose of it in…

They've killed fewer people this season than in most single episodes from Season 1 and 2. They are changing. IMHO the Anna/Natalie episode was to remind them that there is no escaping their past. And Elizabeth calling her a monster, the very term Tim used about Elizabeth, was no accident.

Which is why Stan's jaw is dropping so low at that moment, eh?

Nah Henry and the Mail Robot will elope.

Oh yes I do agree. Oleg may escape he may not, but they have nothing on him but a perfectly innocent set of relationships. Plot needs dictate that Oleg will have more encounters with these guys. And be in jeopardy.

Fortunately her Russian is better than mine! So I can't tell!

But is mail robot on the sub? Because they are a couple. Probably Henry's real reason to defect.

Let's watch P&E dig a hole? YEAH! Best scene ever.

Which is all the more reason to dismiss the idea that Chris is an operative. That would be the culmination of having groomed a couple generations of agents. Just not realistic, that's got to be an old and influential family.

Feel free to never see my comments again. If you need instructions feel free to ask. On second thought I'll take care of it.

We did have mail robot after all. I mean, there was a reference to Op Zephyr. That's gotta at least equal "Henry's asleep" for an appearance.

Then fade to final credits.

This is the basis of the show. People in moral quandries, conflicts between duty and morality, duty and family. Family is winning out; they are all transformed in this show; but I expect tragedy in the end.

I don't think he has had the extensive training a KGB officer living in Russia had. He was a kid living in the US and somehow disappeared to his foster family after 7 years.

It is a fair point assuming it's true and I did believe it. And what confounds this is that as a teenager and a troubled one, Tuan is harder to read. This kind of callous disregard is not exactly unheard of in that age group. Stubborn, determined to prove his point or prove his worth, all of that fits too.

I have been suspicious of her all along, so I think it's one way or the other, they are both double agents or both on the level.

"We don't know anything. Like always. We'll find out"

It was courier and that was the line that made Stan's jaw drop. No WAY that falls into your lap.

Some discussion of that last week on these comments. The idea is he is too good looking to be his dad's actual son.
