The Americans continues to deliver.
The show’s pace is slow, but rewarding .
The Americanscomes out of the box swinging this week with another outstanding effort at 80s Cold War goodness.
The allusions made in previous episodes are important things to remember in this bang out of series.
Storylines that you think are dormant boomerang back unexpectedly, much to the viewers delight.
This aggressive action could be just the coup that starts World War III.
Phillip and Liz keep all sorts of spy stuff buried in the woods presumably in a nearby forest.
They also have a primitive equipment able to send codes back to Russia with information about the current situation.
They claim to be working for the Vice-President and have the IDs to go with their story.
The kind nurse assures them that the President is OK and is going to be just fine.
After all, one of the first erroneous reports was that White House Press Secretary James Brady was dead.
Stan must meet with her ASAP to get any pertinent details coming in through the embassy.
He agrees, but sends a tail along with her.
In a scene taut with tension, Stan and Nina walk right past each other on the street purposely.
Both Stan and Nina noticed that she had a tail and were wise enough to keep on walking.
She is shaken and scared and is not cut out for these types of spy games.
When they arrive they will question Liz and Phil and examine the contents of their van.
She has zero emotion about doing what is necessary to maintain their deep cover.
For now they are all safe.
It seems that the couple is finally establishing some trust with each other.
This was another excellent episode in the freshman series and the cast is really delivering.
Worrying about nuclear war has never been this much fun.
Next week, Liz gets beat up and Phillip gets revenge American style!
