What better way to make amends than to break bread?
At Gabriels, Elizabeths handler presents her with a special treat from the old country: pierogi.
It has to move forward, Gabriel tells her.
So Elizabeth fulfills her duty.
He is shocked, horrified, and tells her she shouldnt have the baby.
He offers to pay for an abortion, but Elizabeth, a.k.a.
Patty, scoffs at the suggestion.
I dont want your money.
I dont want anything from you, she says.
I wont upset your perfect little life.
Ill take care of it …myself.
Stan believes it was the Soviets (and hes right).
I dont know why exactly, Stan says.
He was out of the game, and he couldnt do anything to them anymore.
Philip asks how she is, and she tells him, Its all yours now.
The next step in Dons manipulation/destruction will be his to deliver.
Its one more thread Stan could eventually tie back to him.
On another day, Elizabeth goes to visit Pastor Tim, telling him of plans for their dinner.
But she has more on her mind.
That night, Oleg meets with Stan.
Youre a smart guy, Oleg.
I dont think youd be too surprised to know theres a lot of interest in you in our meetings.
Theres talk of blackmailing you, he says.
He tells Oleg about Chris Amador, his former partner in counterintelligence.
I didnt even realize how close I was getting to the guy … until you guys killed him.
Stan says this led him to do something equally heinous.
I kind of lost my mind …
I havent felt the same since.
What do you want me to say?
Stan says hes destroyed too many lives, including his own.
I dont want you on my conscience, too, he says.
This is the last time well meet each other.
Thats what I wanted to say.
The two men shake hands, and Stan drives away.
And goes … to the Jennings house, where dinner with Pastor Tim and Alice is underway.
Henry invites Stan inside, and we have our seventh guest.
This is a bad situation.
Sure enough, this happens right in the middle of dinner.
Henry blurts out Stans profession.
Pastor Tim is… intrigued.
But maybe some charges have been buried for later.
NEXT: The final stage of Dons trap…
The next day, three people arrive at Foster Medical Research Group, the bio-weapons lab where Don works.
Its Philip, Gabriel, and a new woman middle-aged, quiet.
When a perplexed Don comes out to meet his unexpected guests, they tell him they are Pattys family.
We need to talk to you, Philip says.
Don immediately passes them in through security.
In his office, the grim-faced visitors tell him that Patty committed suicide due to her pregnancy.
You knew she was pregnant, Philip says.
You told her to get an abortion, adds the woman, who says she is Pattys stepmother.
You killed my beautiful girl, you bastard, says Gabriel, who is passing as Pattys father.
They want to take Pattys body home to California, and theyre insisting that Don pay.
Good, Philip says.
But Gabriel says he is too weak to go.
He and the stepmother stay behind, which Don reluctantly allows.
Elsewhere, Elizabeth goes to meet again with Pastor Tim.
He tells her he was surprised to discover Stan is an FBI agent.
Well, you cant choose your neighbors, Elizabeth says.
We lived there first.
For a long time, she says.
And you know, we didnt choose each other either, did we?
But honestly, I can only thank you for everything youve done for Paige.
When she first started coming here, to church, I felt threatened.
I was afraid I was going to lose her.
But it didnt happened.
In fact, weve gotten closer.
She has something else on her mind.
None of us are in control, Pastor Tim says.
Because were in Gods hands?
There is something greater than this, he tells her.
It doesnt always work, but most of the time, it makes things better.
Back at the lab, Don returns with Philip and the money.
I know nobody can forgive what I did, Don says.
Pattys family leaves without acknowledging him.
That shop then had a 911 call for a death an old woman, the mother of the owner.
It was ruled natural causes, but Aderholt isnt so sure, and hes actually onto something.
At home, Philip tells Elizabeth that Don went for the ruse.
Upset, he tells her.
We didnt find the Level Four codes in his office, but they copied all his computer discs.
So hopefully, theyre there.
You think hell tell Young Hee?
I dont think so.
But its hard to really know.
Elizabeth absorbs this quietly.
NEXT: Paige sees what her mother is truly capable of
The next day, she checks her messages.
Theres one for Patty from Young Hee, who is breaking down in tears.
Something is not right about Don.
I need to talk to you… yo call me…
Elizabeth hangs up the phone.
Paige had already arranged a ride home with the pastor, so he is surprised to see Elizabeth.
I pray, he tells her.
What if you… dont believe in God?
None of those things matter, he says.
All that matters is how we treat each other.
This is not the reassurance she hoped for.
While walking home that night, Paige asks, What about the tape?
Paige offers up something else.
She just disappeared, Paige says.
I guess it was really hard for Mr. Beeman to talk to her father.
Elizabeth is stunned to see her little girl delivering a report.
How old are you?
one of them says to the girl.
Dont be scared sweetheart.
As he reaches for Paige, Elizabeth knocks him flat with a single punch.
The other guy pulls a knife.
Soon its sticking out of the side of this throat as he dies at Elizabeths feet.
Paige watches, horror struck.
The other assailant runs.
Paige looks like she wants to run, too.
Her mother grabs her hand, and they both take flee into the night.
