Ooh, I hadn't thought of that. Until Philip changes his mind Oleg doesn't have any other allies and Stan would be working against the KGB here. Or not. Not sure how Stan will relate to it all.
I was wondering why they brought Gennady the courier back into play as a character this season. If Oleg could get access to him somehow, he might be able to use Gennady to pass intel back to Arkady. The only way to get to Gennady is via Stan. That gives more justification for the scenes of Stan playing marriage counselor too. It won't have been just for comedic effect in this episode if it turns out that Oleg's plan relies on keeping Gennady in the game. This is just tenuous speculation on my part and it relies a lot on how much Oleg and Stan feel like they can trust each other 'for the greater good.' Of course, if Stan knows then Aderholt is bound to find out. Dennis doesn't have the same loyalty to Oleg that Stan does. And if Dennis finds out that there is a pair of embedded illegals right there in DC, I suspect that he'll just want to capture them immediately regardless of what else may be going on. We could end up with spy vs spy vs agent vs agent. That would be intense.
