The Americans 5X10: Darkroom
Added 2025-10-03 16:00:37 +0000 UTCPhilip (Matthew Rhys) hangs out with Alexei (Alexander Sokovikov), who laments that Pasha has been bullied in school. He admits that the events made him reconsider his place in the country. Tuan (Ivan Mok) informs Elizabeth (Keri Russell) about his plan to bully Pasha, and she in turn states that she won't report his actions.
Paige (Holly Taylor) tells her parents that she continued seeing Pastor Tim (Kelly AuCoin) and that she kept reading his diary, finding that he made some comments about her that hurt her. Philip and Elizabeth believe this could be used as an advantage and tell Paige that they interfered with preventing starvation in the USSR.
They also give Isaac's tape to Claudia (Margo Martindale), who claims she is not aware of the death of the Mujahideen and refuses to believe the Soviets were involved in using the virus.
Stan (Noah Emmerich) and Aderholt (Brandon J. Dirden) visit Sofia (Darya Ekamasova), who tells them about Gennadi, a former Soviet hockey star who carries confidential diplomatic packets to the country. Stan and Aderholt disclose this to Wolfe (Peter Jacobson), and they start working on how to acquire a packet.
In Moscow, Oleg (Costa Ronin) and Ruslan (Ravil Isyanov) begin following Lydia, although Oleg feels that his relationship with his parents is dwindling after their previous encounter.
Philip makes a dead drop note for Tatiana (Vera Cherny), who decodes the message. She later approaches Evgheniya (Irina Dvorovenko), telling her she can return to the USSR without worrying about anything.
Philip remembers a meeting with General Zhukov (Olek Krupa), who provided him and Elizabeth with a fake marriage licence. Philip takes Elizabeth to their hideout, where Father Andrei (Konstantin Lavysh) is ready to officially pronounce them couple. Father Andrei performs a Russian Orthodox ceremony, with Philip and Elizabeth finally married under their names, Mischa and Nadezhda.
Later, Philip, Elizabeth and Paige go to a darkroom to develop photos that Paige took out of Tim's diary. They are surprised upon reading that Tim expressed concern for Paige, feeling that her parents have damaged her and that she is not aware of her suffering.
