The end of The Americans second season is coming soon, in only three weeks the finale episode will air. I really have been enjoying the ride for now, especially since the last episode where each stories started to come together with Stan, Emmett and Leann and Larrick.
The tension is very high this season for Philip and Elizabeth, and for Stan and Nina as well. Their situations are becoming more and more dangerous and their future and their safety are both put in jeopardy.
With the progression of the season, it’s obvious the writers have a clear idea of where they want to go with their characters and how to implicate everyone in the story. I have a feeling the season finale is going to be game changing.

Anyway, this week episode, titled “Stealth” is another amazing installment in The Americans second season. Now that everything has been put in place in the last episodes, the tension slowly rises and will finally explode in the season finale, I guess.
Philip and Elizabeth aren’t safe now that it was revealed the FBI knows about Emmett and his wife and also Jared, their son, may have recognized Elizabeth as one of Agent Stan’s drawings of the illegals and Stan’s quest for the illegals is bringing him closer to the truth about Philip and Elizabeth and his quest will also affect his relationship with Nina and the Rezidentura.
“Stealth” is an excellent episode, with some very interesting spy moments, and also some great family moments. Here a list of what you can expect :
- Some troubles in paradise... One couple will have to deal with a revelation while another couple might be done for good.
- While tailing someone, Elizabeth will make a discovery about a character we already know. It will be surprising and unexpected, it will raise many questions about this character's true actions and loyalty.
- Nina will be given a terrible choice. That decision will affect her life forever.
- We will hear about "Echo", and as you probably know it's the title of the season finale... So, keep your ears open, it will be significant.
- Philip and Elizabeth will use a surprising way to get more info on Stan's investigation
- A very tense scene in an apartment... Actually, two very tense scenes will take place in that apartment. Those scenes are really exciting, and they both end with a twist.
- A very important event will happen in "Stealth" and this will affect Philip and Elizabeth's mission for the rest of the season. I can not say more.
- Anton will be back ! I'm always happy to see him. He's a very interesting character and I always listen to what he has to say. And of course Vasili will be there as well. Their conversation will be powerful.
- Some family drama... Paige is still angry at her dad since his speech last week, that's understandable. I can still see Philip's face when he yelled at her about respect.... Matthew Rhys was amazingly good and scary.
- Philip will go on another under cover mission, trying to get more intel about this stealth program, and the invisible planes...

“Stealth” is a solid episode, really well balanced between the spy action and the family drama. It’s one of the best episode so far in my opinion. It's a great mix of everything The Americans is about, the main story keeps going forward and Philip and Elizabeth's world is slowly cracking all around them. You can not miss "Stealth", so tune in tonight on FX !
