Pascha comes home, having been beat up by the bullies, but despite this, and Evgheniya's entreaties, Alexei refuses to take his family back to the Soviet Union, so Elizabeth tells Tuan they need to rethink their strategy. Tuan's idea is to have Pascha try to commit suicide, which both Elizabeth and Philip are appalled by. When they try to call the house and there's no answer, Philip, despite Elizabeth and Tuan's protests, marches over to the house.
Pastor Tim accepts a position as a missionary in Argentina, which gets offered to him as per Elizabeth and Philip's request to Claudia. Elizabeth and Philip also tell Claudia they want to quit and come back to the Soviet Union. Claudia is okay with this, and says she'll make preparations, but suggest they not tell Henry until they get to the Soviet Union.
Sofia meets with Stan and Aderholt again, and brings Gennadi (Yuri Kolokolnikov), whom she's still seeing. It turns out Gennadi knows all about Sofia working with the FBI, and wants to work for them as well. Stan and Aderholt are both afraid this is actually a trap, but Wolfe convinces them to continue and wait to see if anything happens.
Elsewhere, Mischa meets up with Philip's brother in the Soviet Union (and gets along with him and his family), Oleg turns sour on his investigation when it becomes clear it's doing nothing to stop corruption in the Soviet Union, and Paige continues to train herself physically.
This episode contains examples of:
- Blatant Lies: Oleg denies knowing about what Tatiana did for Directorate S, as well as William's capture.
- Call-Back: Henry makes dinner for Elizabeth and Philip (with Chris' help) to show his gratitude for Elizabeth and Philip allowing him to go to St. Edwards.
- Driven to Suicide: What Tuan is trying to do with Pascha, though he claims Pascha won't actually kill himself, just make it look like he's killing himself.
- Like Father, Like Son: Done with Oleg and Igor in both a cynical way (they both realize there's corruption in the highest levels of the Soviet government, and there's nothing they can do about it), and in a heartwarming way (Oleg says he knows Igor isn't corrupt, while Igor offers again to stop Oleg from being investigated by Major Kuznetsov because he knows his son is a good man).
- Put on a Bus: This is the last we see of Mischa.
- Shout-Out: Tuan wears a Knight Rider T-shirt at one point.
- Title Drop: Pastor Tim tells Paige he's been offered a job in Argentina by the World Council of Churches
, a real organization founded in 1948, and one criticized for its supposed ties to the Soviet Union. - Training Montage: Paige setting up and then hitting the punching bag in the garage.
