Cool episode. Slow but interesting. Can't wait to say goodbye to Pastor Tim.
This episode had exterior scenes actually shot in Russia. I heard the actor who plays Oleg talk about shooting the scenes on the official Podcast recently.

The one thing I'm confused on is why Elizabeth and Phillip went to Pastor Tim about moving back to Russia? Why would they even mention something like that to him, even though he is leaving in 2 months? Was there an alterior motive that they wanted him to tell Paige?
And Tuan is more hardcore then Elizabeth is! Atleast she has some conscious buried in there!

I have to say that Elizabeth was either in denial or just flat out lying to Phillip when she said she thought Paige would adjust to the USSR if they moved there. Most kids go crazy if you move to another state or city and they have to leave their friends, she is moving to another country that is the opposite of the way she is living now! And Henry will absolutely hate them after they gave him the OK to go to this Private School, and then by the way, "Oh, we're really Russian Spies and we're all moving back home!"

When Paige threw the rope over the beam in the garage, the first thing I thought was, "is she going to hang herself?" Obviously not, but that would have been a heck of a dark turn...

I thought the same exact thing! I figured Pastor Tim spilled the beans that her parents were talking about moving to USSR. The only reason I even questioned that it may happen was because there is only 1 more season left.
