Matthew is gay. I sure hope you forgot and it's not Henry he wants a piece of.

And ya know I doubt Martha will ever get on a plane. I wonder if they will tell Phillip bullshit rather than make up a plane crash. If he knows they killed her it would add to his already occasionally conflicted feelings. Martha is no Kim Philby, she was only working for them for love and because once in you don't back out. They have no reason to do anything for her.
Martha will be fine. Upon her arrival in the Soviet Union, she'll be given a cushy job working at the Chernobyl nuclear plant.
Gorbachev's mistress?
Do you think Martha can figure out how to be a double agent, while in the custody of the Russians? If she can create an information pipeline back to the FBI, they can accept the lady status as a double agent without recompensing her with immunity?
Spin off
The alternative is a comedy at a community college where she's learnig how to speak Russian.

Last night I had a dream about Martha. She fled the house when they weren't looking and hitched a ride to Florida, exchanging her office clothes for some derelict ones she found in a Vinnie's bin along the way. In Florida she took up residence at a trailer park, dying her hair streaky orange like all the hispanic girls did because she kinda sorta fit into that look now. She was living in half a broken trailer giving karma sutra handjobs for a living. The owner of the trailer park let her stay there for free in exchange for the handjobs and doing his laundry. But the trailer park down the road got raided for a meth lab and Martha started worrying that by burying herself in the bottom class she was actually more of a target for the FBI than she had at first thought.
When I woke up I thought how sad it was that Martha would never do this, she was going to get on that "plane".

Vinnie's bin?
St. Vincents de Paul is a charity that runs thrift stores here and the bins you donate clothes to them are often in parking lots, behind supermarkets etc.. they are called Vinnie's bins. Even if they are Salvos bins they are often, generically, referred to as Vinnie's bins.
Thanks, teacake. I learned something new. 
Wow. What is that dark haired lady playing Oleg for?
Also. Martha got on the plane.
I half expected that the plane Martha left on was going to blow up as it ascended into the air. I wonder if this is the last we will see of her. I could see it being too much like Nina's story and just drag on too long. So maybe it's best that we don't.
I would like one scene with Martha, one scene showing us where she is living. I don't think we will see a storyline about her but since she is presumably not going to a labor camp it would at least be different than Ninas.
I also waited for the plane to blow up.. thinking maybe the pilot was someone they wanted gone.
My favorite scenes were Martha in the very early morning standing on the stoop with the wind, about to get in the car. The lighting was perfect. The highly charged finality of it.
Paige is now working for her parents against her will, having to spend multiple days a week courting the friendship of people whose friendship is now impossible for her because they can destroy her family. It's horrible. Now that she knows she'll be followed and watched for the rest of her life. I'm thinking this will be gradually dawning on her.

Keri Russell brought back the hard-boiled Season One Elizabeth for this episode. Director Matthew Rhys got a lot of great performances out of the regulars for this, especially the moments when they weren't saying a word.
The veins standing out on Elizabeth's head!!
