Refresh my memory...I know Philip knows that Stan is an FBI agent, but do we know if he knows that Martha and Stan work in literally the same office space?
He does. Remember they bugged Gad's office, so have been directly spying on Gad/Stan's team.

Didn't "Clark" also play her the recordings of Gad and Stan making mean comments about her?

Yeah, as a result of their bugging Gad.

I expected her to be killed, but there are indications Phillip may be getting too soft for that. his taking the position to let the student go free hinted at that. perhaps kimmie and the coming paige issues iaremaking him less inclined to kill, maybe even as part of his disillusion with the USSR.

I am guessing that his son in Afghanistan gets killed and that pushes him over the edge to wanting to defect.

Actually, no. He considered that, but decided to spare her or try another tack and it worked. He never pulled that trigger, I'm pretty sure.

They did play the edited tape for her.

He edited the tape to make them sound like they were talking trash about her. They weren't. He definitely let her hear it to push her over the edge in agreeing to help him plant the bugs.

That was really brutal when they lit that guy on fire. Those noises he made gave me the willies.

Wow maybe it's just because its fresh but that was one on the best episodes of the series to me.

The scene with the old lady was incredible and the scene at the end with Gabriel was also great.

Yeah that was so well done it was disturbing.

Came here to post almost the exact same thing. Quite possibly the best episode yet.
The old lady/repair shop scene was absolute perfection. Perfectly imagined, written, and flawlessly acted.

This show is so good it's ridiculous.

So who saw that coming from Martha? I wasn't expecting that at all.

But last week she advocated to let the collegiate South African go. Go figure.


I like that Oleg and Stan are frenemies now. Drinking beers in a parked car in the AM. Nice.

I wonder if they are starting the end game with the series (not this year, but next).

Philip is laying his cards out on the table, Elizabeth is showing some (very small) signs are vulnerability.

I am going to guess Philip's story will go through Stan, and Elizabeth will be forced to follow.

the repair shop scene is one of the best segments of TV I've ever seen.

that line about Elizabeth being evil has been set up for 2.5 years. what a payoff.

The whole segment with Elizabeth and the old woman was fantastic and excruciating at the same time.

why did they risk doing that job undisguised? that's why the old lady had to die.

The old lady had to die because she could tell people what they were doing.

Ya Oleg and Stan working together was great too. The look Stan gave him when he got in the car was awesome.

That was a great episode. I too loved the scene with the old lady. I also really liked the scene with stan and oleg and look forward to more scenes with them.

Interested to see what's gonna happen with Paige next week.

This is easily the best show on TV right now, but it's annoying as **** to go from an intense scene right into a commercial for "The Comedians". Stop trying to make Billy Crystal happen, FX.

Remind me: what specifically is Philip mad at Gabrial about?
Quinn
How long do you want to ignore this user?

Asking them to turn Paige into a spy, and probably specifically how he encourages Elizabeth to do so.
ellebee

Maybe also bc he's pushing him on kimmy and doesn't care if that means having sex with her.

I know I wasn't the only one thinking that Elizabeth was about to resort to a more painful method of killing that woman after she said that.......

Not sure what it says about me, but have been checking this several times a week.

Good news, when I saw the viewership numbers I was really worried, much of the season has been under 800k.
The must either want to give it one more shot or they have great DVR numbers.
