I suppose that if you were in prison for a time your number is something you wont easily forget.

After Jack's performance on this op I am surprised if he will ever be allowed to be a field agent again.

I liked the character Sandrine Arnaud, French counter terrorist agent, sorry she is out of the series so early.

The "vitamins" didn't make you suspicious?

I knew it would tie in when we learned that she was Epidemiologist of the Year in one of the early episodes. If you're a 12 year old boy, shooting an automatic weapon into the sky is just good clean FUN, regardless of the cause.

Off topic. When I was very young I would dream of having a brother or sister that I could be close to, protect and be protected.

Renee will be looking for a way to break up assuming she is KGB. Her "job" is over; presumably it was to keep an eye on P & E.

Sofia Kovalenko and Gennadi Bystrov.

For me, the episode and the series ended when Stan let them drive out of the garage and Paige left the train.

It would be hard to make sense out of the movie for people who never watched the series.

Will Stan have the FBI do a national birth/death certificate search on Renee? I don't think he can continue with her not knowing.

That message doesn't have to get to Moscow. Phillip and Elizabeth wrote it and will relay all the details to Arkady.

Stan doesn't want to know that. It is in his unconscious and will someday force itself to the surface. That will not be a good day for Stan.

Stan is the only person who knows that Paige knew for years.

Assuming he wasn't caught, exactly how was Oleg going to get the message back to Moscow? Certainly not through the Embassy. Not through Claudia. Polly the telephone switchboard operator? By shortwave radio? So, how could he tell Stan how to get the message out without fingering an operative. Must be shortwave radio. He can give Stan the frequency and times and not expose anyone else. Stan can then agonize over what to do.

When Stan sees the surveillance photos of the meeting with Father Andrei it's over for P & E. Not much of a disguise, just glasses. I assume that the FBI is at least as fast as the One-Hour-Photo store which were all over in the 80's.

Just saw the scene again. Phillip is wearing gloves. Sorry no fingerprints to match to Clark Westerfield. However, Stan could easily get Phillip's prints. Maybe that was why he dropped in at the travel agency.

Didn't matter. Claudia and The Center will know it was Elizabeth as soon as they hear about Tatiana's death. They connect the dots much faster than Paige.

I have to watch the dead drop again. Anyone know if Phillip was wearing gloves? They might routinely wipe the message paper clean but I've never seen it done.

Thanks, I didn't realize it was Tatiana. If they sent her as the substitute assassin they are running out of Directorate S operatives. They're going to need someone real good to get E and, presumably, P also. Since The Center is big on tying up "loose ends" doesn't Elizabeth want to warn her about contacting Claudia?

There was an undercover FBI agent present at the Garland, Texas terrorist attack in 2015. When the shooters got out of their cars with their weapons he booked. He was stopped by local law enforcement fleeing the scene but was released when he identified himself as FBI. He didn't kill anyone but not stopping a potential mass murder??????????????

Joan (the telephone switchboard girl) is possibly the only person outside the Center and the Rezidentura who knows the identity of all the East Coast illegals. I'm sure she is under very strict orders about disclosure. I wonder if we'll see her this season.

Do we know any details about Renee's past? Jobs? Schools? BFs? Husbands? Interests? Even Stan must have looked at her history before marrying her and she passed FBI background check. I'm sure at this level they didn't do nationwide searches of Renee's with same birth date who died young. Or would they? Maybe she's just an attractive, athletic 40 year old with a nice rack?

Title of next weeks episode is "Jennings, Elizabeth". Title of an FBI file? Title of an obituary? Title of a mug shot photo? If the FBI actually nails Elizabeth then they get Phillip too and this title doesn't fit. Ergo, Stan realizes that his suspicions are wrong, P & E skate again. Maybe the FBI puts her under surveillance, which she immediately spots, and she is effectively "grounded" from any of her "work". Or what?

I think she is keeping an eye up on Nesterenko in case Claudia is lining up someone else to 86 him.
