**The name itself is a bit of meta-awesome. Very very very VERY rare is the American TV series that remembers that Russian last names have male and female forms. The daughter of Constantin Rostov would indeed be Masha ''Rostova'', not Masha Rostov as she'd have been called in ''any'' other show.

* In "Marvin Gerard", Red lets Ressler know that Liz is not safe with the Russians, she's actually about to be killed if they can only get her out of the US. By himself, Ressler rushes to save Liz, running the Russians off the rode, dispatching the guards with a little help from Liz, all to protect a woman he's trying to capture. Liz doesn't know this, and tells Red later that she thought Ressler was trying to kill him, Red (who has no love for Ressler) corrects her, telling her Donald was trying to save her.
