Re: Stan and STRESS

[saraqael]

I honestly am waiting in fascination to see what Stan does when he finally connects the dots about the Jennings. He's almost there now. The fact that he broke into their house to nose around tells me that he's starting to trust his own instincts and the few clues he does have over his friendship with the Jennings. I keep thinking back to when he shot that one Russian consulate guy just because he was angry. Stan is capable of cold blooded murder when he's really, really mad. But who knows? Maybe he'll laugh like Gaad and realize that his career is over. Or maybe he'll fall back on the genuine friendship he has with Philip to try to make a deal with him to defect. I love the fact that I just don't know what Stan is going to do.
