I just am having a hard time with some of the writing of Beeman's character right now.
I get the impulse to be sympathetic to oleg, I just don't see him voicing it., the threat to the AG was absurd. Beeman would have been stovepiped (isolated) in a second for that, if not completely moved out of counter intel.
And Oleg

in terms of 14 year old KGB agents, yes, unlikely, but "chris" could be older. tuan is purporting to be someone much younger and befriending the high school kid. So we have an example right there of an agent much older pretending to be younger in a mission.

agreed he is not being written out.

Well the Jennings won't want it. He is the next Jared.
Henry is being recruited as a second generation illegal. Claudia is doing a better job of it than than the recruitment of Jared.
There are now a dozen things that point to it. The new girlfriend. The major change in attitude. the change in grades. the fact that

she already knows his name is not Clarke, she finally understands that everything they have told her and do tell her is lies.

the actress has a large number of commitments. she sure was not in any other shooting for this season

I think Henry is being recruited as a second generation illegals. Claudia is doing a better job of it than than the recruitment of Jared.
There are now a dozen things that point to it. The new girlfriend. The major change in attitude. the change in grades. the fact that the boarding school he wants is full of future

henry has been recruited by Claudia. "important people like senators" nobel prize winners.
Sounds exactly like the targets of the second generation group.

Martha was not in any other episode shooting. her character is done

She was a fool, and a traitor.

I think we will never see her again.

I hope so. But we now know the majority of recruitments during this period were double agents. You report the recruiting attempt to your superiors and then you are used as a double agent. Remember the Russian woman would not need to be getting intel from the FBI, just feeding them disinformation to misdirect them or

the USSR was a gangster kleptocracy from the first moments of the revolution. It was never anything else. And there was never any more accomplished gangster in the world than Stalin.
That said, I think Henry is recruited by Claudia and "Chris" just like the other kid (who had killed his parents had been).
