The meeting with the Colonel is set but the Jennings' suspect it might be a trap.
I enjoyed this one for the suspense, excitement and character development.
It is impossible to go into details of the plot without spoilers, but it's safe to say that it contains several extremely tense moments of FBI and KGB agents in the field. There are also some very compelling character moments, particularly involving relationships between characters. As always there is a high level of intricacy and irony on display, owing to the fact that as an audience we know everybody's secrets.
There are some well made action sequences that are as thrilling, if not more so, than anything I've seen in modern spy movies such as the Bourne series. With it being a television show, I feel like I know the characters and am more invested in what happens to them than in a movie.
The episode ends with a strong musical montage sequence, much like those seen on season finale's in shows like The Sopranos and The Wire, which works very well, particularly for the time period.
All performances as excellent as always, but for me Margo Martindale stands out in an episode that gives some much needed reveals about Claudia.
This is a strong end to the first season and it did its job in making me want to find out what happens next.
