Question of the week #49

[treonb]

At the end of the season finale, Stan saw Nina taken away, to be returned to the USSR. What do you think will be his next step?

You can expect spoilers for the entire first two seasons in the comments.

(There's no expiration date on these questions, so if you're reading this post months later and feel like jumping in, please do.)

I think he does know to an extant--she's being taken to the airport to go to Moscow, presumably.

I expected more from a guy who claims he loves her.

I can understand Oleg not having a choice about it, but he at least left his desk, which was already dangerous for him, to see her off as far as he could.

I think he made the choice to do nothing once he refused to give Arkady the plans for Echo. At that moment he knew that he was choosing his country over any love he had for Nina and leaving her to her fate in the USSR. I think he knew that any gestures he made after that would have been ineffectual, weak posturing, in a way.
