Tonight’s episode of The Americans kicks off with Pastor Tim at Elizabeth and Philip’s front door – it’s the first time they have seen him since he got back from his mission. Tim tells Elizabeth and Philip that he feels horribly about Alice threatening them. Pastor Tim says that when he was missing, he did a lot of thinking, and he even thought about them and Paige. After Tim apologizes, Elizabeth invites him and Alice over for dinner later that week. Elizabeth heads to the safe house to meet with Gabriel – he has bad news. The Center turned down Elizabeth’s request, the mission with Don and Young Hee has to move forward, whether Elizabeth wants to or not.

Elizabeth heads to Young Hee’s house – Don answers the door and he is home alone, his wife took the kids to school. Elizabeth barges into the house, she tells Don that she is pregnant, and she puts on a good show. Don tells Elizabeth that she can’t have the baby – it would destroy Young Hee. He offers to pay for the abortion, Elizabeth snaps that she doesn’t want anything from him and storms out of the house.
Stan stops by Philip’s house for drinks, Stan tells him all about Gaad’s death in Thailand. The FBI thinks that it was a robbery in Gaad’s hotel room, but Stan thinks that it was the KGB. HE tells Philip that the Soviets are “animals” and they do things that Philip could never imagine. (Except he can … obviously.) Elizabeth returns and interrupts their chat.
After Stan leaves, Philip fills Elizabeth in on Gaad’s death. He thinks that Stan is right and the KGB did kill Gaad. He confesses to Elizabeth that Stan told him about Gaad’s trip – he put it in his report to the Center that Gaad was going to Thailand.
Elizabeth heads to the church and visits Pastor Tim, she confirms that he and Alice are coming over for dinner and says that they even got Alice’s favorite strawberry ice cream for desert. Pastor Tim can tell that something is bothering Elizabeth – she confesses that she and Philip have been under a lot of pressure lately.
Stan meets up with Oleg in the middle of the night – he tells him that the FBI has a lot of interest in him, and there has even been talk about Stan blackmailing him. Stan rambles and tells Oleg about his old partner Chris – he was killed by the KGB. Stan says that he thinks the KGB killed Gaad too. He doesn’t want Oleg on his conscious – he tells Oleg this is the last time that they are going to see each other, then he shakes his hand and leaves.
It’s time for Pastor Tim and Alice’s big dinner at Elizabeth and Philip’s. Alice helps Elizabeth finish cooking in the kitchen. Alice tries to apologize again for threatening them. Elizabeth reassures her that if she was in her situation she would have done the same thing. The doorbell rings – it’s Stan, he dropped off a movie for Henry to watch. Elizabeth and Philip aren’t thrilled when Henry invites Stan in for dinner. It’s awkward … to say the least.
Tim and Alice are obviously intrigued when they learn that Stan is in the FBI – it seems a bit suspicious that he is having dinner with Russian spies.
The next day Philip does to Don’s office in disguise – he brings along Gabriel and another woman. Philip introduces himself as Patty’s brother and says they are Gabriel’s parents. Philip says that “Patty” (Elizabeth) is dead – she killed herself. Philip lays it on thick, and demands that Don pay for the funeral. Don heads to the bank with Philip to take out the money – they leave Gabriel and the other woman in Don’s office. Once they are gone – Gabriel gets to work, they go through the filing cabinets and the computer.
Philip heads home, he has semi-bad news for Elizabeth – they didn’t find the Level 4 codes in Don’s office, but Gabriel copied all of his computer disks, so hopefully they will find them in the files. Elizabeth is obviously bothered – she wonders if Don will tell Young Hee that Patty is “dead.”
The next day Elizabeth heads to the payphone to check her messages –there is on from Young Hee and she sounds really upset. She cries that there is something wrong with Don and he is acting strange, Elizabeth hangs up and doesn’t listen to the rest of the message. She heads to the church and finds Pastor Tim n the basement working on the food pantry, she says she just came to pick up Paige.
Pastor Tim heads upstairs to get Paige, but Elizabeth stops him, she asks him for advice. Elizabeth wants to know what he does if he has something on his mind and can’t stop thinking about it. Pastor
Tim says that he prays for guidance. Elizabeth confesses she doesn’t believe in God or religion. Tim laughs that none of those things matter, what matters is how people treat each other. While Elizabeth and Paige are walking home – Paige is worried about the tape that Alice made, Elizabeth is certain that it won’t be a problem. Paige opens up to Elizabeth and gives her a little intel from Matthew, she tells her that there was a spy at Stan’s job that went missing.

While they are walking to the car in a shady part of town – two bums approach them. They taunt Elizabeth and Paige, Elizabeth hands them her wallet and says she doesn’t want any trouble. One of the guys pulls a knife on them and Elizabeth busts out her spy moves and stabs him in the neck with his own knife. Paige is horrified and in shock as Elizabeth drags her away from the scene of the crime.
THE END!
