[[Recap/TheAmericansS1E13TheColonel After recovering from being shot]], Elizabeth comes back just in time for Henry's birthday. In addition for the party they have for him, Elizabeth and Philip take Henry (and Paige) to an amusement park, where they also meet up with [[DeepCoverAgent another family of undercover agents]], Emmett (Creator/JeremyDavidson) and Leanne Connors (Natalie Gold). While there, Emmett asks Philip to pick up a package from Fred (Creator/JohnCarrollLynch), one of Emmett's contacts. Philip does this, but he and Elizabeth discover Emmett, Leanne and their daughter have all been murdered - only Jared (Owen Campbell) is alive, since he wasn't in the room - which makes them worried they might be next.
