Elsewhere in “Tchaikovsky”:
* Paige and Elizabeth had The Americans‘ version of The Talk, with Paige asking her mom: “Do our people ever use sex to get information?” (Ruh-roh.) Elizabeth tried to deny it, but admitted that “people may cross lines sometimes” and “the world is complicated.” Hmmm… this is going to come up again, isn’t it?
* Stan had to play marriage counselor as his courier Gennadi had a fight with his wife Sofia, threatening Stan’s undercover mission. But Gennadi held it together long enough to complete a very low-tech file transfer in an airport men’s room, hanging a bag on a stall door while a guy in the next stall used a funky X-ray-type machine to capture an image of what’s inside. (Why don’t they just use encrypted flash drives?)
* Matthew Rhys directed this week’s episode, which may explain why Philip was mostly on the sidelines, fretting over a lost travel-agency client. Was his long look at that ATM receipt, though, a sign that the Jennings are having money troubles?
* How bad is Rennhull’s aim that he couldn’t hit Elizabeth at close range when she lunged at him? Guess that’s why he’s in the Air Force and not an Army sharpshooter.
* Seriously, though, I counted at least four different wigs for Keri Russell this week. That’s gotta be a series record, right? (Meanwhile, her husband Matthew Rhys was probably giggling off-camera as he put her through this exquisite torture.)
* Mail Robot cameo! Now I just need a Martha sighting, and my final-season dream checklist is complete.
Got thoughts on tonight’s The Americans, dear comrades? Drop ’em in a comment below.
Let’s block ads! (Why?)
