Renee: A Theory

There's been this dangling thread revolving around Renee's presence in The Americans, and nobody's been quite sure what her goal is.

My thoughts went back to something that's been discounted in canon: Stan's past history of infiltrating a white supremacist group and busting it up.

And I got to wondering, what if Renee was somehow connected to that group, and realizes Stan was the agent that got everybody else arrested? She could be a mole trying to get into the FBI to keep tabs on other such groups and tip them off as to investigations and raids, or failing that, at least get the names of FBI agents who are investigating right-wing groups in a given area.

What do you all think?

It's a very interesting theory, but I'd be disappointed if that's the case. They haven't mentioned Stan's white supremacist history since the beginning.

Ditto.

She's been dangled teasingly, but if we are expected to believe she is some sort of spy, it would have had to be handled better than this.
