Still very disturbed about the brutal massacre of Emmett's family, Philip and Elizabeth are not exactly comforted by the fact that they'll now have unseen protection on their kids while they're out having sex with and/or killing various people while wearing various wigs. Thing is, Paige and Henry need the extra lookout because, guess what? They're dumb kids. For example, Paige decides to take a little trip during school hours in hopes of finding out what her parents were really up to recently, and spills her teen angst to another girl, a stranger on the bus. Obviously taking after her mother in the fearless department, she walks into "Aunt Helen's" house looking for clues. What she finds instead is Aunt Helen, who appears to be a loon, but is in fact an agent who busts her to Philip. He brings down the dad hammer on her and somehow avoids locking her in a closet when she dares to sass back, which is too bad, because she takes the first opportunity to sneak out of the house to hang out with her new bus friend.
Elizabeth attempts to fulfill her promise to deliver a letter revealing the truth about Emmet's family to his surviving son, but chooses instead to burn it. On the spy front, Elizabeth and Philip wig up to complete Emmett's mission to get the settings on some grinding tools central to KGB interests. They get them, but only after Elizabeth does some menacing on a feckless warehouse worker with a hard stare and a tire iron, threatening his children with bone-chilling subtlety.
Meanwhile, Stan's literally running through streets of D.C. to thwart Bruce Dameran, who strolled into the KGB in last week's episode setting off visions of grandeur for Stan and John-Boy, who thought they were about to expose and defeat attempted treason. Nope. You know what Commies are good at? Red herrings. Bruce was, in fact, merely a crazy Vietnam veteran sniper who wanted to kill some World Bank execs. So, while Stan did in fact save the day due to Nina's intel, it was all according to Arkady's plan to keep him distracted by and indebted to Nina. Ol' girl is keeping pretty busy fending off advances from Oleg -- what does he know about her double/double agent life? -- while she gives detailed reports to Arkady about Stan who, like a dummy, has sincerely expressed his love to her.
