I have to admit that scene just blew me away. I NEVER saw them going for that! Holy cow.

There can be no doubt that the arc of this story is of a sham marriage (not completely sham even at the first season) with children evolving into a deeply committed family, headed by a couple who are bound together as tightly as any couple we've ever seen. The ending may not be happy but the Soviet Division will end

I quite agree there is no proposition to be made that Elizabeth and Philip are anything but a deeply committed couple.

Sorry Henry is moving in with the Mail Robot. They're eloping.

I describe what I saw as that family walking with purpose and speed to the house. Whether the surveillance will see it as different or troublesome I don't know but it will be perfectly clear to the Morozov's that they are there for a purpose and it's serious and doubtless Pasha will be in trouble of one sort or

I disagree on this point; he didn't say he knew where William was or who he was (actually true…he did not know William or his name nor where he worked)

I don't know about the first part but you are right that it there must be consequences; that is the whole point of the Anna/Natalie episode and the fact that Elizabeth called her a monster (Tim's word for them) shows me she is seeing the parallel and trying to deny it. But then she basically says "I quit" …a minor

Virginia is for lovers.

I think when the Eckerts march uninvited up to the house it's a complete departure from anything they have done before, and they will immediately be looking for Pasha. Now there are different scenarios depending on who is home and what Pasha has done. But inevitably it will be obvious that they are there because of a

Yes that's what I was thinking. Something like that. I do hope they tell us a lot more about Tuan.

No, Henry likes older women. If he goes to Moscow they can fix him up. I hear Martha's available.

I don't think the Viets would have an interest in the Marazovs but I can't imagine who else would have recruited him or why. I think he was on loan to the KGB from someone else "I don't want my people to find out" and I am hoping they will fill in his story a bit soon.

I resist the notion that Tim and the KGB are very similar even if they both claim to seek similar goals. Details of goals matter and the KGB wishes explicitly to help the USSR establish dictatorships "of the proletariat" in order to eliminate war. The end does not justify the means for one thing.

Well mom always told me the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
(But I could never quite endorse the corollary that the road to heaven is paved with bad ones… seems to me BOTH roads have the same general contractor.)

O.O

That's perfectly possible. I think there will be more to it tho.

I don't think so. Henry is the boy who picked up the beer bottle to defend his sister. HE won't rat his family out.

I'd like that but I doubt it. Great idea tho.

Totally!

Yes and Paige is a stoic. She is very Russian at heart I think.
