Just watched the episode and am still shaking a bit. Nothing is going right for Elizabeth, is it, in this quest for the lithium battery? That's two potential sources she's had to kill, which in itself is a huge clue for anyone paying attention. Felt so sorry for the poor warehouse guy. Not so sorry for Elizabeth herself, though I do feel for her. The cooking scene with Claudia and the conversation with Philip after she's had to throw the food away, in which she makes it so clear that she doesn't want the USSR to 'modernize' not only sets her up to be left behind by history but also is the final straw for Philip, sending him back to Oleg.

The Oleg/Stan conversation was my favourite scene of the episode. So much in it I can't really begin to unpack it. I am afraid, though, that the FBI are going to add two and two with these related murders (the general and the warehouse guy) and figure that it all began when Oleg arrived in town so he has to be responsible in some way.

Great use of the Leonard Cohen song at the end.
