To run to Russia or go to EPCOT?
The hour opens with Clark waking up beside Martha on his fold-out sofa.
Elsewhere, Elizabeth is undercover, apparently infiltrating a Mary Kay makeup sales meeting.

But, ah, Mary Kay has the personal touch that solves that!
I tell my friends they dont have to look like Martians, Young Hee says.
We are all Americans now.
Secret Soviet agents are a new one for the good pastor.
Ive never heard of anything like this, he says.
What we do is not that different from what you do, Elizabeth says.
I know what spies do, says Pastor Tim, who has probably seen a lot of movies.
Elizabeth forces a smile.
Is that the word Paige used?Gosh, golly, that Paige!
We fight for justice, for equal rights for everyone, Elizabeth adds.
Unless theyre religious, says Pastor Tim.
Our country isnt perfect, Elizabeth says.
Neither is this one.
The Jennings explain that if he reveals them, theyd go to jail.
Their son and daughter would go to foster care.
Theyd never see us again, Philip says.
Im listening to you… Pastor Tim says.
And Im listening to my conscience.
Lets all think about this for a few days and talk again.
Before they leave, Philip asks if the pastor has told anyone else, like his wife, perhaps?
NEXT: To run or not to run…?
Pastor Tim told Alice, Philip says but he also has worse news.
He hands Gabriel the tin tobacco box that contains the pathogen that their pilot refused to accept last episode.
Cant seem to get rid of this, can I?
Gabriel says, accepting the bad penny.
He places the box on the mantle, next to a thermos youre going to want to remember.
We should leave right now, Philip says.
There are other ways, Gabriel tells him.
He all but draws his finger across his throat.
No, Philip says.
Paige told us she told him.
If we kill them now, she will figure it out.
She will blame us.
Gabriel agrees to consider all possibilities.
But you better help Paige work on keeping Pastor Tim quiet, the old man says.
Counters indicate six extra copies unaccounted for today alone.
When people dont log their copies, they put the division at risk, Gaad says.
Stan (Noah Emmerich) notices Martha looking nervous.
He has noticed this before.
Later, we see him stalking her at night, monitoring her behavior.
Ive been watching Martha, and there are two nights she didnt come home, Stan says.
He wants Aderholt to join him in the surveillance.
I wont do this, Stan, Aderholt says.
But…Ill take her to dinner.
This gives Stan the cover he needs to search the FBI secretarys apartment.
Elizabeth, once again in her Mary Kay disguise, meets Young Hee in the grocery store.
Its no accident and soon Young is leading Elizabeth on a door-to-door sales trip.
The two are becoming fast friends.
She invites Elizabeth over to her family dinner.
On a park bench at night, Gabriel meets with his own handler, Claudia (Margo Martindale).
He wants her to cut the Jennings loose.
Theyre done, Claudia we have to get them out, he says.
Theres always another choice, she says, echoing the same line he fed Elizabeth and Philip.
Do you hear yourself?
The pastor already told his wife.
There are no good choices, he insists.
First, there are no choices.
Now, there are no good choices, Claudia says.
Id say were making progress.
Trying to bring their daughter in was a mistake.
Its time to take them home, he says.
Claudias not going to do that, however.
The only question is whether she will be shown mercy.
Nina is having dreams, picturing Stan in their old apartment love nest.
She seems like a doomed woman.
Something will have to save her.
It doesnt seem like she has any choices left good or otherwise.
NEXT: Will Pastor Tim and his wife have an accident?
Back in the States, Gabriel presents Claudias alternate plan.
The Jennings family is going to Disney World!
That will occupy the whole family and lead to no further questions about any bizarre mysteries that may arise.
So here you are, top travel agents, and youve never been to EPCOT Center?
You should go, take the kids; you could leave Friday and come back Sunday night.
While youre away…the pastor and his wife will have an accident.
They hate this idea.
Shes not stupid, Gabriel, Philip says.
Shell never be sure, Gabriel says.
He tells them to see to it they dont do anything suspicious around their daughter.
We dont have a choice here, she says.
He is convinced this will alienate their daughter.
People believe what they need to believe.
At home, Elizabeth keeps working Philip.
You honestly think it would be better if we leave.
What are you going to tell Henry?
That we live in Russia now because…
Shell figure it out.
But she will know, Philip says.
Theyve giving us a way out of this that lets us keep our lives, his wife tells him.
Then, we see Paige meeting with Pastor Tim herself.
Shes livid that he shared her secret her familys secret with his wife.
If she didnt, I couldnt do my job, he says, kinda whiny.
Alice likes to talk, Paige says.
When I tell you something in secrecy, you cant just decide, I think Ill tell my wife.
Im trying to help here, he says.
Until we know exactly what your parents do and whether people get hurt as a result…
This is my mom and dad youre talking about, she says.
As Gabriel told her parents:People believe what they need to believe.
Meanwhile, Paige briefs her parents on Pastor Tim.
Who am I to tell him his wife cant keep a secret?
She asks if people get hurt in their work.
Of course not, Elizabeth says.
You know us better than that.
Paige isnt so easily convinced.
Where do you go two nights a week?
she asks her father.
Shes having a grand time, eating hot peppers, doing the hot pepper dance.
Young complains about the horrific Cabbage Patch Kids her children collect and the way they are manipulated by advertising.
They always forget about the toys until the next ad tells them to buy more.
Thats America for you, Elizabeth says.
She hates a disposable culture.
She cant fathom going back to Russia.
Two kids who dont know anyone, dont know the language.
Everything weve built here.
Those things matter, she tells him.
Paige loses, whatever we do.
But Gabriel is on the floor, coughing.
Get out, get out… he rasps.
Elizabeth and Philip know what this means: glanders.
That little pathogen vial they returned to him.
They signal William (Dylan Baker), who works at the lab and stole the sample for them.
When they explain what happened to Gabriel, he listens carefully then runs.
Philip tackles him and spits in his face.
Whatever they may have, William now has, too.
He needs to help them.
He has no choice now.
More bad news: Its going to take 36 hours worth of treatment, though.
So much for the EPCOT trip.
They are all stuck at Gabriels apartment.
Philip looks at the smoldering pathogen in the oven.
It may as well be his life going up in smoke.
