Tuan goes walkabout and makes the KGB suspicious.

This is a strong episode that increases the tension slightly from the last few more reflective character focussed episodes and includes a number of quite memorable scenes.

The story feels like it's starting to set the scene for the overarching plot to move on and it throws in a few unexpected moments for good measure. Parent-Child relationships are at the heart of many scenes and there are some good parallels between characters.

One of my favourite scenes is the proposal Henry makes to his parents, which is cleverly introduced to imply the conversation might be about a completely different subject. For me though, easily best scene in the episode is the visit one character pays to another in Moscow. It is such a tense and awkward sequence it's almost painful.

The episode contains excellent visuals as always. Some of the production in the Russian scenes is so well designed it works perfectly for the cold, punishing, decaying system the characters reside within.

All performances are excellent with Boris Krutonog, Frank Langella, Costa Ronin and one guest star in particular standing out.
