Spoilers ahoy for both The Americans and, surprise surprise, Teenage Bounty Hunters, a fantastic show you should watch on Netflix immediately! This week on The Americans I’m thinking about layers of secrets and lies. Not a surprise, honestly, though this episode actually kind of crept up on me. I thought it happened a few episodes from now, which is probably how Philip and Elizabeth felt when Paige confronted them at the kitchen island, demanding to know “the truth.” She lobs a number of suggestions at them, from the witness protection program to adoption, to aliens. With the possible exception of aliens, none of the options she’s come up with are as absurd as the truth, a reality her parents find themselves facing down as they try to explain.
