I am so delighted to see Arkady back. He just shows up like, "S'up, Oleg?" Hahaha! (I might even have jumped up out of my chair and yelled ARKADY! the first time I watched this trailer.)
From the clues in this preview, I think it's safe to say that Arkady is the one who instructs Oleg to go back to the US and contact Philip, likely to get Philip to get details on what Elizabeth is working on. It seems that Elizabeth is still firmly on the side of the old-school hardliners (Claudia) but Philip is being tapped to align with Gorbachev's more progressive reformers. And in the meantime, Stan and Dennis will be closing in on both of them, thanks to the courier they turned last season.
Random aside: Did you notice that Dennis has a little baby at the dinner scene? So cute!
I'm incredibly happy to see that Philip and Henry are doing well together now that Henry has gone off to school. This is the free and happy future that Philip envisioned for his children all the way back in S1. Henry is living the American dream and Philip is so pleased. But Paige...yikes. I said in a different post that it seemed easy for Paige to dump Jesus for Karl Marx. I think she's happy to be bonding with her mother, but I doubt she has the internal fortitude to commit to the communist cause with the same fervor that Elizabeth and Claudia have. I agree with you that what she's doing doesn't represent real independence or even maturity.
