Club. It hadn’t really sunk in until William crushed the vial into his palm, but biological warfare makes a poignant Americans metaphor. Germs are just the right weapons of mass destruction for a show of this scale, and the way lassa fever destroys William from the inside is what the agents of Directorate S are supposed to be doing to the United States.

The Bering Sea holds the secret to Alaskan Gold, the highly lucrative and elusiveKing Crab. With a new set of rules to abide by the ships and the crews will have.
There’s a crucial difference there, though: The illegals are supposed to chase destruction with change. William’s microscopic “unwelcome guest,” by contrast, just leaves behind a leaky corpse. When the antibodies swarm to flush William out of the U. S., the process is depicted in fine detail. We’ve seen this sort of thing from The Americans before: It’s the slow- speed car chase from “Open House,” or Matthew telling Paige that catching spies is “more than car chases” in “A Roy Rogers In Franconia.” The protocol of monitoring and capturing William—and William’s decision to break his meeting with Philip—makes up the cold open and engulfs most of the first act. It’s a complicated scene, requiring a lot of cross- cutting and traffic management.
And it wants to make sure we’ve been paying attention. Faces we’ve seen maybe once or twice pass in cars and on the sidewalk: the man in the park from “Roy Rogers,” the woman with the yellow ribbon. Hans leads the KGB caravan. Mixed in are reminders that none of these characters enjoy the omniscient POV from which we’re monitoring the scene: While Stan and Aderholt are staked out in front of William’s building, the scene plays out in the lenses of Stan’s binoculars. He has eyes on William, but that’s it. Once William gets picked up, the Jennings won’t have that luxury. They head into the hiatus not knowing if he’s alive, if he’s dead, or if he’s ratted them out in order to save his own skin.
It’s life- and- death drama, but it resonates to the show’s emotional core, too. William’s acting selflessly when he contracts lassa so no one else has to (there’s something messianic about those wounds in his palms, right?) but that means Elizabeth’s work with Young- hee and Don was definitively in vain. Like William’s fate, she’s still in the dark about this, but it’s a devastating development in an episode where Elizabeth is told that her biggest weakness might be that she cares too much. There’s another sharp angle to the bioweapons metaphor: the “bio” part.

Whether they’re volunteering for the gig or not, all of these characters are carrying some sort of ticking time bomb within their body. The way Philip talks at the EST meeting, it sounds like he’s dealing with depression. Elizabeth has a hair trigger and knows lots of ways to kill people. Paige’s attraction to the boy next door could be extremely dangerous to her family. Some of this stuff just comes down to biology. Mischa is a curious wrinkle in the extra- long episode, a presence who isn’t quite a character yet but helps the show usher in a new chapter.
Superficially, Alex Ozerov is expertly cast, bearing as much physical resemblance to Matthew Rhys as Holly Taylor bears to Keri Russell. Fresh off a post- Afghanistan stay in a mental- health facility (where he was sent for “complaining publicly about our military support for the brotherly people of Afghanistan”), Mischa is heading to America to find a family. His timing could be better: With William’s whereabouts unknown, Gabriel has begun pushing for the Jennings’ extradition. This scenario has always loomed over the house in Falls Church, but it’s always seemed like a remote possibility until now.
Just given the way The Americans has always operated, it seemed likelier that Philip or Elizabeth (or both) would be killed or arrested before The Centre arranged one- way travel accommodations for the rest of the family. But as the show sets up for its final act, going “home” feels like a viable ending. But, as the Jennings have wondered these past two weeks, would they even recognize home?
The place where they live now isn’t looking all that friendly: In the lingering shot that brings season four to a close, Chris Long makes the Jennings estate look like the Amityville Horror house. It’s a vivid grace note for these 1. Jennings could’ve been undone by so many under- the- radar threats—but they managed to maintain the fa.
In a hospital room, Paige meets Pastor Tim and Alice’s daughter, Claire Louise, and their shared happiness suggests a nuclear family that isn’t. The Rezidentura clan is losing two of its own, as Arkady gets snared by counterintelligence and Oleg makes his mother happy by agreeing to go back to the US (back to the US, back to the US) SR.
After Stan catches the kids necking in the afterglow of Washington’s sound Super Bowl defeat, he jokes to Philip about Matthew and Paige getting wed in the backyard. But the real joke’s on the American dream: The Soviet spies managed to stay together, while Steve Rogers is the one who tore a household apart. And now their daughter and his son are locked in a Cold War Romeo- and- Juliet clutch, stars- and- stripes- and- sickle- and- hammer- crossed lovers. Now I’m getting theatrically poetic, but this is an episode and a season that call for it.
There are connections between “A Roy Rogers In Franconia” and “Persona Non Grata” that make season four’s final episodes something of a two- parter, not the least of which are the dramatic monologues sprinkled in among the tension. Philip and William each get to find their light and deliver a speech this week, the theatricality of these moments enhanced by their staging. Philip’s on an actual stage for his, while William pitches his words to an audience of two. Captured in close- up, the actors unlock a black- box intimacy, particularly Dylan Baker, who explains a lot about William in the character’s dying words.“I was committed to something, and I was invisible” the unwelcome guest says on his way to departing.
His presence was undetectable to the naked eye, exposed only when symptoms presented: a disappearing FBI secretary, the body of a former counterintelligence director, an assumed name lifted from another corpse. But he failed, and he lost faith, because he was alone. He lost what Philip and Elizabeth have: a sounding board, a support system, a someone to love. Increasingly, Philip and Elizabeth don’t have what William had.
The seams of their illusion are starting to show, and they must take drastic action before some Masked Magician comes along to blow the lid off how they made the Statue of Liberty disappear. Mischa gets to return to his grandfather because “powerful friends” want to help him, but the Jennings are losing friends of any kind.
Young- hee, Martha, even someone as tangentially connected to their mission as Arkady. They must unite at home, they must keep vigil from the upstairs window—they must not fraternize with the floppy- haired informant across the street. Taking place during one of the Cold War’s hottest years, season four brings The Americans to a boiling point. Yet it does so without leaning too heavily on its ’8.
President Reagan’s SDI speech is an occasion for mockery, a nuclear false alarm is pillow talk, the tragedy of South Korea Flight 0. Certain landmark events—The Day After, for example—affect the characters’ day- to- day, but so do David Copperfield specials, crummy computer games, and the death of someone thousands of miles away. The Americans always does good work with the stuff that appears microscopic on the historical scale, but massive on the personal level. And now it’s 1. 98. Arkady is out. Wolfe is in.
During the Super Bowl, a new wave jogger tosses a sledge hammer through Big Brother’s face. The future is coming, and The Americans has reset itself for it—whether the Jennings are ready or not. Stray observations. That’s it for TV Club coverage of The Americans’ fourth season. Stay vigilant during the hiatus, comrades, and we’ll see you here next year.
In the meantime, why not read a finale postmortem with showrunners Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg? The Americans Wig Report: Season Four, Week 1. C. Limited missions means limited disguises, so Philip’s back in pre- diagnosis Walter White mode again.
If the Jennings must go on the lam, here’s hoping they bring the wigs with them. The Americans Soundtrack Report: Season Four, Week 1. A- . Leonard Cohen serenades a juxtaposition of birth (Paige and Claire Louise) and death (the KGB careers of Elizabeth, Philip, and Arkady). It’s redemption for Cohen after his mistreatment at the hands of #True. Detective. Season. Was there any Mail Robot?
And who, by electricity, shall I say is whirring through the background of the “previously on”? How do the Jennings sleep at night? Elizabeth is awake in bed when Philip returns from the aborted meet with William. And now, another new Americans TV Club feature: “O say can you see?”: Ironic uses of Old Glory in The Americans: Elizabeth comes home with the dry cleaning, and a small American flag hangs fuzzed out in the foreground. Did we know that Irina had been arrested before “Persona Non Grata”?
Did Gabriel let Philip know about it when he told Philip about Mischa? Wolfe’s teardown of Arkady is fantastic.
I love when he calls Philip marrying Clark “The lowest thing I have seen in my entire life.” If he only knew the full extent of Directorate S. Agent Aderholt, the king of bedside manner: “Would you like a Coke?”.
God shed his grace on thee spectacular season premiere. Club. Over the course of The Americans, we have watched Elizabeth and Philip Jennings’ relationship evolve out of order. Within the confines of their arranged marriage, they learned to love and trust one another, and as the fifth season opens, they’re not just one caring, compassionate couple—they’re two, in the form of their airline- industry aliases, the Eckerts. And with the stunning opener to season five, “Amber Waves,” we’re now witnessing forward momentum in Philip and Elizabeth’s partnership, as the consequences of being a family are finally sinking in. Some of this is mission- related: Elizabeth’s being extra- protective of Paige because Paige knows her parents’ secret, and because her budding romance with Matthew places that secret in a vulnerable position.
But the Jennings have children beyond their biological ones. There’s Tuan, the Eckerts’ adopted son, who attracts Elizabeth’s silent pride and identification when he disparages a Soviet defector’s lack of patriotism. And then there’s surrogate son Hans, whose mentor- mentee relationship with Elizabeth has been a staple of quieter Americans moments—like when she halts their digging in “Amber Waves” to share a canteen. Keri Russell (Photo: Patrick Harbron/FX)The show isn’t spendthrift with flashes of tenderness like this, and a few minutes later, “Amber Waves” really makes it count: After Hans exposes himself to Lassa fever, Elizabeth executes her surrogate son at close range. And it leaves me thinking, “What does it mean to Elizabeth to pull that trigger?” It’s an effective choice of scripting and editing, and the season premiere doesn’t provide us much resolution on the matter.
Capping off a lengthy sequence that’s dialogue- free until the point when dialogue really matters, Hans’ death is a triple gasper: First when he falls, next when he reveals his gashed hand, and finally when Elizabeth fires her gun. The Americans has primed us for events like this, but it’s still shocking when they befall characters we—and the Jennings—have spent a lot of time with.
But pay close attention to the episode, and you’ll see how interchangeable and anonymous people with Hans’ specific set of skills are supposed to be. As the camera glides through the streets of D. C. Even the vantage point of the cafeteria cold open raises suspicions.) The history of “essential” Americans personnel suddenly proving their expendability stretches all the way back to poor Gregory, and Hans joins their ranks at the end of “Amber Waves.” His final resting place is symbolically potent: The same steel coffin as William, two lives sacrificed so that Philip and Elizabeth could preserve their own. The ties that bind the Jennings are blurred further by strengthened connections to the Beemans. When Philip fills Elizabeth in on his conversation with Stan—one in a dozen different ways The Americans depicts information changing hands—it caused me to ask another question: Do the Jennings like Agent Beeman? How much playacting is involved in bull sessions like the one in which Stan fills Philip in on the lady in the purple leotard?
Judging by the current state of Jennings- Beeman relations, they’re willing to tolerate (and maybe even enjoy!) a certain level of fraternizing with the enemy. That said, the fact that he hasn’t caught on yet suggests that they don’t have much respect for his professional abilities. But that obliviousness contributes to the rich dramatic irony of Stan’s joking suggestion that the Jennings and the Beemans move in together, becoming one big, happy family sharing dinners of Lipton instant noodles. Tuan isn’t exaggerating: Alexei describes the USSR as “dirty, unhappy, and crashing,” before launching into a Yakov Smirnoff routine about food shortages, government bribes, and three families living in the same apartment.
It’s a less sunny portrait of communal living than the one in Stan’s mind. It is, however, accurate to what we see in the post- credits montage and Mischa’s trip to the airport.
But, perhaps to Alexei’s increased chagrin, there’s no need to hop across the animated globe to find prosperity and ample pastries—they’re in the office of Oleg’s new KGB supervisor, and the apartment of Oleg’s parents. Showrunners Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields have said that this season of the show will contain “less espionage whizbang,” and they seem to be following through on that by setting up missions that have something to do with the bread baskets on either side of the Cold War. On the whizbang side: Not so promising.
On the thematic end of things: If The Americans is focusing on the family, so to speak, what better emblem of a family’s unity, stability, and loyalty than the dinner table? I mean aside from that scene in which Elizabeth pushes Paige around the garage, the site of so many altercations and close calls in the Jennings house. Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys (Photo: Patrick Harbron/FX)“Amber Waves” is a promising start to The Americans’ penultimate season, and I’m not just saying that because the very first soundtrack cue of season five is Devo’s “fascist clown” anthem “That’s Good.” After four years of slow- burning suspense, the show still knows how to pull a fascinating fast one on us—even using some of those slow- burn techniques to accomplish it. The Eckert reveal masterfully handled, and the fact that it’s a good 1.
Paige or Henry creates a real edginess about when we are and where we are in the Americans timeline. Everything leading to Paige’s entrance concerns new situations (the Eckerts, Oleg at home) or new surroundings (Pasha and Tuan in the cafeteria)—the mind leaps to some chilling conclusions about new safe houses and extraditions in that amount of time. And then there’s William’s “final mission” out behind Fort Detrick, which does the Americans thing of deglamorizing Elizabeth and Philip’s line of work by depicting an assignment in the most painstaking, least sexy terms possible.
Yet footage of a hole being dug doesn’t get more compelling than this. Because there’s mystery and there’s suspense and there’s no real indication of how far the hole might go down until they throw that ladder rope over the side. As is so often the case with The Americans, you don’t really know what you’re in for until you’re in over your head. He may have thought he’d found himself a family, but it turns out he’s just a sign of how far Elizabeth Jennings’ definition of “family” extends. Stray observations. Welcome to season five of The Americans, comrades!
Ironic use of Soviet- era terminology is not as fun as it used to be! Either way, I’m glad to have you back, and I look forward to another 1. Cold War. For more information on season five, please read (or re- read, if you’ve already read) Esther Zuckerman’s report from the Americans set.
Following that set visit, Esther did some follow- up with Weisberg and Fields about Hans’ death and the “whiplash” of the Eckert’s introduction, and you can read that here. If you were catching some John Hughes vibes from that cold open: Congratulations, you were on the right track. For those who like playing Mad Men- type guessing games about when The Americans is taking place: References to the 1. Sarajevo Winter Olympics place “Amber Waves” somewhere in February of ’8.
A specific issue of The Washington Post mentioned in the end credits gives us an exact date: February 1. Photo: Patrick Harbron/FX)The Americans Wig Report: Season 5, Week 1: B+. Strong start to the season, particularly from Mrs.
We’ve seen variations on the golden locks/sandy mustache that Mr. Eckert sports before, but the curly brown bob seems to bring a whole different level of energy out of Elizabeth—Mrs. Eckert has a lot of sass and plenty of jokes around the dinner table. Forget the amber waves—these brunette waves can come around whenever they’d like.
The Americans Soundtrack Report: Season 5, Week 1: I definitely shouted “Finally!” when I fired up “Amber Waves” for the first time and heard the familiar synthesizer thrum of “That’s Good.” Devo is such a good fit for The Americans, period- wise and thematically, and I’ve been waiting forever for one of the de- evolution band’s tracks to make its way into the show. Unfortunately, in the show’s world, the spud boys are on the wane: Making scooter commercials, falling in love with the Fairlight CMI, and preparing their worst album. Shout lost Devo a drummer, a record deal, and a tour—but on the bright side, its failure freed Mark Mothersbaugh up to do the music for Pee- wee’s Playhouse. Okay, nerd, but was there any Mail Robot?
The FBI scene from “Amber Waves” primarily takes place in the vault, and since Mail Robot’s recent acts of treason probably preclude its tracks from being extended into the vault, there’s no Mail Robot tonight. But here’s footage of Devo playing “Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA,” a song that depicts the band as “suburban robots that monitor reality.” So, you know: Sorta like Mail Robot.
