Fan community for FX's The Americans

I can see why the particulars of what name he knew, etc, could have some flexibility and that it's clear they give some agents more information than others. Charles Duluth seems to also have a higher level of trust--Philip sees him with no disguise. "Anne" too. And Dorwin knows Vasili is the Rezident and even calls him at the Rezidentura. But I still feel like it was probably a violation of protocol for Elizabeth to cultivate a romantic relationship with an agent she's recruiting for the risk she'd become as emotionally compromised as any of their honey pot targets. If she just wanted sex randomly, or had to have sex with him to keep him willing to work for them, I feel like it wouldn't be the same issue because it wouldn't be an emotional issue for her--but it's clear from the fact that she couldn't go through with KGB orders, and supported Gregory when he refused to go through with KGB orders that she was emotionally compromised by the relationship they'd once had.
