Man, what a great ending episode. I'm really glad they chose to avoid the "super shoot-em-up" cliche. That's the "American" way to go. The way they did it, just sadness all around. Philip and Elizabeth have nothing. They started with nothing and through all their life decisions they end up with nothing but pain. That's probably a fate worse than death...having to leave Henry and then Paige leaving them. I was just hit of how everyone has a sad ending...P&E, Paige even if she can convince the FBI she never knew anything, they'll still be watching her like a hawk for the rest of her life AND she loses her parents and probably her brother...she doesn't even have Claudia either...completely alone. Henry, jeez imagine having your neighbor tell you in 1987 your parents were fucking Russian spies and have fled the country. Oleg, rots in jail when he had a choice to leave his life and family in Russia. He loses his life, Nina, his parents, his country, his wife and kid. Oleg's dad lost both of his sons in pointless ways. Stan...man, just brutal having to go through that with the Jennings and then he'll worry every day of his life if his wife is a spy and also it'll weigh on him how he did so many traitorous things since he came back to DC.
I don't understand how the border officers couldn't recognize Philip & Elizabeth. Their disguises weren't THAT great and it should've been a slam dunk.
I just love the planning that P&E did. They had a specific set of passports and those particular disguises in place only for that moment of if they have to flee. Brilliant.
What a great show, great ending.
