It’s yet another week of finales this episode of the podcast, but more importantly, it’s time to bid a sad farewell to one of Kate’s favorite recent series, The Americans. Joining Kate to say goodbye and to spotlight the series finale are Alex McLevy of The A.V. Club and Allison Shoemaker of TV Party, Podlander Drunkcast, Debating Doctor Who, and so many other places. Before that, however, there’s plenty of TV to discuss, and Noel and Kate dive in with the premieres of The Break with Michelle Wolf, Queen Sugar, and Reverie, and the finales of iZombie, The Good Fight, and Killing Eve. Take a listen, then reach out with your thoughts on the week’s premieres and finales, and any other TV worth exploring!

She'll say her parents took her off to go back to the Soviet Union, but she was horrified at that prospect and escaped from them at the Canadian border and came home.
Stan will not out her for four reasons: one, he has known her as a kid and cares for her. Two, he doesn't know for sure to what degree she was involved in her parents' activities. Three, she knows that Stan let her parents escape, and if he outs her there's nothing to keep her from outing him. Four, he is going to have to take care of Henry, and it would help to have Paige there to take part in that.
Paige and Henry will be interrogated by the Feds but in the end they will not be charged or imprisoned.
