Safe House
Philip and Elizabeth separate. Paige and Henry don't take it well. Philip moves out. He continues to romance Martha. He learns from her that the FBI is planning a retaliatory strike on a KGB agent. What Martha doesn't know is that Amador has been keeping an eye on her. He spots Philip leaving Martha's apartment building and confronts him. They get into a fight and Amador winds up with his own knife sticking out of his stomach.
The FBI continue to plan their hit on the head FBI agent, Arkady. They also start to look for Amador. Stan presses Nina for information but she knows nothing about Amador's disappearance. Amador is being hidden by Philip and Elizabeth. They do what they can to deal with his wound and then press him for information. He isn't very cooperative. Before they can get him to talk, Vlad, Arkady's assistant, is picked up by the FBI. They were hoping to grab Arkady but he didn't go jogging like he usually does because he burned his hand.
Amador dies from his wounds before giving up any information. Philip dumps his body in a parking lot. Stan isn't having it. He tried interrogating Vlad before they found Amador's body. He told him some weird story about hunting. Vlad got scared. Stan gets impatient. The episode ends with Stan shooting Vlad in the back of the head, execution style.
The separation part of the story failed to impress me. It felt as though the actors were going through the motions but not hitting the right notes. I didn't buy what they were selling. I also had problem with Stan throughout the episode. I just wasn't impressed by the act he was putting on. I wasn't expecting Amador to die. That surprised me but it wasn't enough to make up for all the other stuff that did not impress me about his episode.
