Is the good pastor about to meet his maker?

These two regularly sleep with informants and subjects to discern information, but suddenly Elizabeth feels…betrayed.

What was bothering Philip so much that he needed the therapeutic embrace of this group?

Gabriel also offers the Jennings family a personal computer.

Welcome to the mid-1980s!

Moms first reaction: kill the pastor.

Dad suggests they wait.

Killing Pastor Tim will send Paige fleeing from them.

He breaks into Pastor Tims home and figures out that he goes to a cabin to write his sermons.

Elizabeth thinks its the perfect place for a hit.

It has been a while since theyve seen each other.

He looks older; she looks skinnier.

He thanks her for sending money from her stint at the Rezidentura in the United States.

He has two sons now and says he wishes she had kept their baby.

They are still married, and Boris says he would marry her all over again.

As for the mother of the kids…

He describes a loveless, colorless existence.

Not everything works out the way you plan it, Nina says.

She has a favor to ask, and slides a piece of paper across the table.

Philip conscripts a Russian pilot to help smuggle the pathogen out of the United States.

The pilot is jittery, he thinks his co-pilot knows something is up.

Philip thinks hes being too jumpy.

Philip tries to distract him, but its no use.

He has to strangle the man to death.

Nobody notices except maybe the jittery pilot, who is now more frightened than ever.

He leaves the pathogen on the bus when he gets off.

Later, Philip sneaks off the bus leaving the body, and taking the cannoli, so to speak.

Elizabeth asks when he gets home.

Pretty bad, Philip answers.

Philip is starting to fall apart from so much killing.

What do you mean?

Did she really say that?

Of course she did, he answers.

Elizabeth, when you do what we do, its very easy to lose your bearings.

I dont want that to happen to you.

Back at gulag central, Ninas note was turned over by the courier her husband used.

The authorities know she sent it, and she admits as much.

Shell be prosecuted, and so will Boris.

She was almost free, but now she will be brought up on treason again.

Im not who I was, she explains.

Well figure it out, she says, while her eyes flash MURDER MURDER MURDER.

Later, in the car with Philip, Elizabeth says, She told me.

And what did you say?

I said…Wait until your father gets home.

We dont know yet whats in store for old Pastor Tim.

Maybe hell be delivered unto his maker soon.
