1. I still don't trust Emmett. The level of intimacy with Fred just kept poking my suspicions.
2. I don't really know why Arkady's going to all the lengths to get a code name and stuff for Bruce Dameran, considering Nina told Stan about it. They *know* there's observation on the Rezidentura. Surely they've figured out that by telling Stan about the walk-in, they're giving up this guy. Unless this is the sacrificial piece of information they're going to give him and keep Oleg's stuff to themselves?
3. I still really like Oleg, so I looked into his name: Oleg means "holy, blessed", Igorievich comes from Igor, meaning "warrior", and "Burov" means "drills". I'm not sure they plan for it to mean anything or if they're looking in a different direction for meaning. I'm eager for his role to be expanded, but I'm also kind of worried he's just going to be a red herring.
4. "You'd rather play a game than see Raiders of the Lost Ark? Are you insane?" Tell me about it, Henry!
5. Nina's report. I'd probably hand it back and say, "Too much information." I kind of wonder what's going through her head. She says there's evidence that Stan's relationship to her is deepening, but what about on her side?
6. I loved that Stan showed up with his friends and the exchange about Montreal or the Dude Ranch. Philip's face was just perfect as she talked about European Montreal. You could just read the, "WTF? No. This is a guy getaway to celebrate the end of being single. Sportsmanship!"
7. Oh, Martha, Martha, Martha. I'm almost 67% sure she's not going to get a gun. Philip didn't seem to like it, so he'll probably try to talk her out of it. Maybe he'll suggest self defense classes? I don't think he likes guns, I think he'd prefer not to have them where he sleeps, but he still has one because he needs it.
8. I wonder what Paige thinks her parents are up to? There's no way she thinks they're spies, right?
