Yeah, something has to happen with Renee. I don’t see her turning out to be a red herring.

Paige will escape to Russia before being caught and get intensive training as a full fledged spy. Then she’ll be sent on assignment to Berlin, where she drinks vodka straight and bangs smokin’ hot chicks working as agents for the French, becoming Atomic Brunette.

I didn’t realize they found any of those guys 60 years later! I thought the last anyone came across was in the 60's or 70's. But yes, Elizabeth would definitely be one of them.

And I know some people like being completely in the dark until episodes air and consider previews and episode titles spoilers, so

*UPCOMING…

At least Stan didn’t start having a panic attack, then try to drive home like a fucking idiot afterwards. Give the God damned keys to your wife so you don’t get in an accident, moron!

I mostly agree with you, but that whole sequence of extracting Harvest was still some top notch spy thriller shit.

Yeah, she didn’t tell him about the (cyanide?) pill til later in the episode. But now that he knows, he’d be even less likely to turn. She puts her ideology and country before even her kids and husband, so she wouldn’t think twice about offing herself if she were cornered.

With how much they know, they could probably get quite a bit of leniency if they turned themselves in and gave information though.

Yes! Now I remember him meeting with Gabriel, and showing how he had to sneak out of the Eastern bloc to get into the west.

You’re a real cut up, Drew.

If Philip would have confessed to Stan, Elizabeth would have downed her suicide pill before anyone could get their hands on her.

I can’t remember. Was there some deal where they asked Phillip to complete some really tough mission and insinuated that when he was successful, the son would be pulled out of Afghanistan? I need to do a full binge re-watch of this series after it ends.

That whole sequence was great, from using the truck to block the FBI’s view, the road block, and the quick switch out of Harvests car. I was just surprised the feds realized it was a different guy so fast.

They should have just told Stan they’re swingers.

I’d go bananas if that ends up happening.

Like they’d fuckin’ have him. His comprehension of RATM being even worse than Reagan’s of Springsteen would lead me to believe he wouldn’t pass the reading comprehension portion of the entrance exam.

Ha! Or since it’s hockey, maybe they’d be psyched to have some Russian blood on the team.

And I have an added gross out factor. One of my closest cousins growing up is a few years older than me and a few younger than Kimmy. Her name is also Kimmy, and around this time in the late 80's she was also very skinny with curly blonde hair. So I’ve been reminded of a family member every time this story has come up.

Exactly. He still has the guts to do the job. He just doesn’t have the stomach for ruining people’s lives anymore.

That’s what I meant. Not sabotage it so she’d be harmed or caught, but to mess up the plan somehow before they even get a chance to implement it and put her in danger.

Yeah, I had it mixed up. But as someone who also reminded me of that said, “....but yeah, he’s still poking around down there.”
