Paige Jennings: What's on the agenda for today?
Claudia: The Great Patriotic War.
Paige Jennings: Which one was that?
Elizabeth Jennings: World War II.
Claudia: You probably think the Americans defeated the Nazis at Normandy. Truth is, the Germans began to lose the war at Stalingrad. It was the Red Army that defeated almost all of Hitler's troops. Do you know how many Americans died in the war?
Paige Jennings: Not really.
Claudia: 400,000. We lost 27 million.

This is a very strong episode with great character moments, memorable scenes and a turning point where the overarching plot takes him firm hold.
I can't give too much plot details without spoilers, but not since season four has the plot really taken hold of me and made me impatient to know what happens next. I will say that more focus shifts on to Phillip and I found myself willing him to take (and in some cases not take) certain actions. The level of irony in the writing is fantastic with so many events having a knock on affect on other characters.
There are a number of very memorable scenes, some painfully awkward, some frustrating and some absolutely harrowing. It is not a pleasant watch or enjoyable, but the scenes stick with you.
As ever the production values are top drawer and performances of all, particularly Matthew Rhys, Keri Russell and Holly Taylor, are superb.
I rate it as a 9.5/10 as it's just shy of perfect being such an ordeal to watch at times.
