And wasn't that bizarre that the teenager that Philip was using to get to her dad just showed up in this episode? I'm assuming Philip already knew he was CIA and not State Dept. In the previews it looks like Elizabeth was continuing the affair with the Korean man when she told him she was pregnant. Kimmy: ack! Gabriel keeps bringing up that operation in conversation (he even told Philip to continue it during the many-months "vacation" from spying), but they stopped featuring Kimmy. I think the show doesn't know what to do about the ick factor. And from the start, they targeted Kimmy because of her Dad's CIA job, so Philip already knew. (I've always had an issue with how the dad could have bought that house, especially in the DC area, with a government salary and a wife who seems to do philanthropy full-time. Ah, TV real estate fantasy...) I like how they threw in the story of Kimmy casually betraying her father's confidence as a corollary to same-age Paige betraying her parents' confidence about their job secret, and how that betrayal can affect the father-daughter relationship. Double ack: Alice's maternity clothes! Triple ack: Elizabeth tells Don she's pregnant?!!! I never watch previews. Reading this thread lately has made me realize how much plot this show gives away in its previews! |

Yeah, in the previews the week before we saw Alice threatening them with the tape. Her maternity clothes brought back memories ~ and not particularly good ones!  |

In my mind Kimmy and Phillip don't sleep together they just get high together.
Please don't shatter that illusion

We watched last night. Only two more episodes in the season.
It was painful to watch what they did to Don. The poor man did nothing wrong and will have to live with the knowledge that a woman he thought he impregnated killed herself. And he never even had sex with her. And the phone message plea from his wife to Elizabeth was heartbreaking ~ for both of them. Ugh, I don't like this story line at all.
The dinner with Pastor Tim, Alice and Stan at their house was almost laugh-out-loud funny. Awkward with a capital A.
When Elizabeth and Paige were walking outside after leaving the food bank or whatever it was, who didn't know that something awful was going to happen?
What am I forgetting?

I need to review The Americans history. I think we were supposed to assume that he had been having contact with her and we just didn't get to see it. You didn't miss anything, none of us have seen her recently. |

To me hers are okay but sometimes Philips are so amazing we don't realize it's him! Yeah, he can look admirably scummy, can't he? But no sexy disguises for the pregnant Kerri this season. Although they DID let her take her ever-present coat off for her fake-post-coital scene with poor Don. (Funny, my butt looked nothing like that when pregnant...) |

At least that's when I read it. I like both of them a lot. I loved her in the movie Waitress! I always think of her when I make a pie. |

Just watched the season finale (at least I think it was but it ended kind of strange.) I'm assuming William didn't give up names or Stan wouldn't have been laughing or kidding around. Or would he? At least we didn't have to see William with blood flowing from every orifice.  So Philip's Russian son is going to come knocking on their door next season. Hope he speaks English or it will be hard to explain to Stan who he is. Paige seemed quite taken with Pastor Tim and Alice's baby. |

It didn't feel like a season finale, did it? I don't think William gave up any detailed information but he did peak Stan's interest when he said something about a couple with two children and "she" was very pretty. Wonder if this will make him take a second look at his neighbors.
It looks like Philip will have his hands full if this son tracks him down. The son seemed to be in some trouble because of subversive talk against the Russian military. He could end up being a real danger to Philip and Elizabeth if he keeps that up.

Trivia: The Henry actor broke his ankle this season and had to be filmed sitting down most of the time.
I thought the last scene was an odd one to end the episode. After building up the will-they-or-won't-they suspense, didn't Philip's admonition to Paige, however heartfelt, basically telegraph to us that they (or at least he) have no intention of leaving the U.S.?
Paige seemed to have some sort of epiphany when holding the baby. All I could figure was that the feelings the baby aroused in her made her realize how much her parents' perspectives might have been changed by having children. But maybe not. Anybody see something different?
Stan was so weird when when he found the kids messing around and shared his doofus-giggly-happiness with Philip, of all people...
I'm glad Keri Russell finally gets to take of her coat...and put down the dry cleaning and salad bowl.

I thought it was a great episode but not a season finale.
