So this week, when Philip suddenly gets abducted by agents who are demanding he give up everything he knows about being a spy, and later when Elizabeth gets abducted and also interrogated, nobody seems to think this is maybe the KGB trying to flush out the mole. And when Claudia does show up and makes the completely unshocking revelation, the Jenningses totally fucking flip out, get their soft little American feelings hurt, and Elizabeth actually tries to murder Claudia.

So they're both super mad at each other now.

No, in fact, it's all part of an elaborate plan to get Vasili framed for being the leak, which does get accomplished, much to Stan's outsized relief.
