I think we're all talking about the same thing. I meant she'll convince the KGB she's far more useful alive and in Washington. Arkady and Oleg might help, though I thought Arkady already tried? If he didn't, why wait till Nina's back home? Oleg might have the connections needed - which actually would be interesting because she put down Oleg for doing that.

Stan - I don't see helping at all. Definitely not after she leaves the US, where he has no power at all. However, I did expect him to at least show that he's trying to do something before it's too late. Not just stand there and feel sorry for himself.
