Tonight’s episode of The Americans begins with Phillip and Elizabeth sitting in Church. They listen to the sermon from Pastor Tim and he begins Paige’s Baptism. Tim gushes about how Paige gives “her everything” for every political protest they have ever attended. He raves about how she is always at the front of the line shouting and protesting. Elizabeth and Philip watch as Tim dunks Paige in her white robe in to the water. The congregation cheers and claps and Paige smiles proudly at her parents.
Elizabeth meets with a new recruit for training, he is practicing memorizing license plates at a single glance. They pull over in a parking lot and he tells Elizabeth that he has been practicing his surveillance on a kid in one of his English-speaking classes, he thinks that he may be working for the CIA. Elizabeth says that she will look in to it, but he can’t follow him anymore unless she tells him to.
At home, Phillip is helping Paige hang posters up in her room. He tells her that he is really proud of her for “being who she is and strong.” He is proud that she stuck to her Church beliefs even though he and her mom made it difficult for her. Phillip lectures her about “always remembering to be her own person and be true to herself.” Elizabeth reassures him that she already is, and that is why she goes to Church.
Stan comes over for dinner and brings his date Tori along with him, Tori explains to Henry that she met Stan at a summit where they “get in touch with their spirituality.” Paige begins talking about her Church to Tori, and gushes that she just got Baptized. Henry is still stuck on the spiritual summit, and he won’t stop asking questions about it. Stan explains that it is where grown ups go to work on their problems with other grown-ups.
Nina is still in a jail cell with Evie, Evie is trying to get her to eat and tells her that she “needs to stay strong.” Nina cries that she “has no one,” and she left her husband even though he was begging her not to. Nina is still trying to get information from Evie about her boyfriend, she asks her cellmate if she still believes in love. Nina confesses that when she was in America she had two lovers and she loved them both, but in the end they loved their countries more than they loved her.
Stan heads home with Tori, and they begin making out on the couch. Stan is spacing out and staring at pictures of his wife and son while Tori kisses him – she can tell that he isn’t paying attention to her. Tori demands to know from if Stan is thinking about his ex-wife? He corrects her and says that Sandra is still his wife, and he has never been in his house with any other woman but Sandra.
Phillip goes to Kimmie’s house to hang out with her, they smoke weed and listen to music together. He plays Pink Floyd for her and tells her to “lay back and close her eyes and take it in.” She raves about how amazing the band is – and then says that she doesn’t want to listen anymore, she wants to take a bath with him instead. Phillip makes up an excuse and tells her to go take a bath by herself, he promises to wait for her until she is done. Once Kimmie goes in the bathroom and shuts the door he rushes downstairs and opens the door and lets a woman inside. The woman goes in to Kimmie’s father’s study and prepares to set up a recording device.
At home Elizabeth is sitting in the garage smoking cigarettes, Paige walks in and she tries to hide the smoke. Paige laughs at her and says she already knows she smokes and she doesn’t have to hide it – but she should know that it is bad for her. Elizabeth raves about how grown up Paige is, she promises that she will support her no matter what. Paige asks her mom what she really thinks about Church, and Elizabeth laughs that there are “one too many potlucks.” Elizabeth admits that Church isn’t really her thing. Paige thinks that Elizabeth should try praying some time.
Kimmie comes out of the bathroom and Phillip rushes back in to her room, he gives her a pair of earrings and says that he was just getting her a surprise from her car. Kimmie kisses him and drops her towel – he picks it back up off from the floor and puts it back on her. Phillip explains that he has been going to church and he wants to be a better man, so they need to “take things slow.” He hugs her and reassures her that it isn’t her at all, he thinks that she is perfect.
Meanwhile in prison Evie is telling Nina about her boyfriend, she says she met him in Brussells and fell in love with him and then he had her deliver a package and that is how she wound up in jail. Nina comforts her and tells her it isn’t her fault that her boyfriend used her – Evie says it wasn’t like that and she is certain that her boyfriend loves her.
Phillip returns home, Elizabeth tells him that the Center wants them to follow around the 19 year old super spy that Hans told her about. They both laugh at how ridiculous it sounds, and then they open the window in their bedroom so that they can smoke weed without their kids smelling it. Elizabeth tells Phillip about her conversation with Paige, and they both laugh that their daughter wants them to start praying. Elizabeth worries that Paige is “living in a fantasy world.” Phillip says that Jesus really came through for him tonight – he told Kim that he couldn’t sleep with her because he had to serve Jesus instead. Elizabeth is relieved that Phillip didn’t sleep with her, he says that if the mission drags on and Kim gets older then he might.
At the office Stan gets bad news – one of his old co-workers Dave was killed in a plane crash in the Midwest. Stan calls Sandra at Arthur’s house but no one picks up, and he gets the answering machine. Meanwhile, Oleg’s Dad is visiting Nina in prison and he has brought her food and a bottle of wine.
Phillip visits Gabriel and updates him on Kimmie. Gabriel tells Phillip that he needs to check the recording device at Kimmie’s house every week, instead of every month. Phillip argues that he doesn’t know if he can get in every month and Gabriel says the relationship is going to have to progress and he is going to have to get intimate. Gabriel changes the subject and tells him that Irena was captured in Brazil and she has a 20 year old son – he is a paratrooper in the army and Irena claims that Phillip is the father. Gabriel reassures Phillip that he hasn’t told Elizabeth about it, but he has been keeping a close eye on his son for him.
Sandra and Matthew stop by the house to see Stan – they both hug him and apologize, they heard about Dave’s death on the news. Dave invites them to go to the memorial service with him in Chicago in a few weeks, but Sandra says she doesn’t think that will happen.
Elizabeth has dinner with Gabriel and shows him photos of the spy that Hans found – Gabriel says that Hans is on to something and Elizabeth may have just stumbled across a South African terrorist. The Anti-Apartheid movement is sweeping college campuses, and they may be planning a hit. The conversation changes to Phillip and Paige, and Gabriel worries that Phillip is “losing faith in him.”
After Nina’s dinner, guards come in and drag Evie out of the cell kicking and screaming. She shouts at Nina and asks her what she did, but Nina turns her head and ignores her as she is dragged out of the cell.
Phillip meets Kimmie after school – he invites her to go somewhere and talk. She tries to blow him off and says that she has a lot of stuff to do, he begs her and says that he can’t stop thinking about her. Kimmie caves and invites him over to her house – her parents won’t be home until later at night. They arrive at Kimmie’s house and head upstairs. Phillip begins rambling that the reason he can’t have sex with her is because he got a girl pregnant when she was just 17 years old, and he is “really messed up right now.” Kimmie comforts him, and agrees to pray with him. They get down on the floor and hold hands while Phillip leads the prayer.
Elizabeth picks Paige up from school and drives her to a shady part of town – she tells Paige that she has to show her something. They go for a walk and Elizabeth tells Paige about her friend Gregory, and how she was a real-life activist. Elizabeth explains that she didn’t just sing songs and march – she fought in other ways, and sometimes it wasn’t always legal, but it was right for the greater good. Elizabeth confesses that she and Phillip care about a lot of things, she tells Paige that there is “something special about her and she could accomplish anything that she wants to.” Elizabeth explains to her daughter that she is “more like her than she thinks.”
