re: The Americans final season - Official Season 6 Thread (spoliers)

I'm not surprised the KGB has nothing to do with the business. I would think they would want to keep the connections between the family and Center as low as possible.

I do think it's a bad cover for the way the family works on the show. Their weird hours don't jive with that business. But it does work somewhat with going out of town, although I think that probably doesn't happen too much.

Does anyone else think Stan is figuring stuff out too easily now? I get that he is suspicious of their hours and business. After living next to them for 10 years or more it just seems weird that he now suddenly is figuring everything out without anything big pointing to them. All he has is Philip acting funny which would easily be explained by a struggling business that would also probably be impacting their marriage. Stan went through something similar with a bad marriage, secrets and infidelity. Henry even said he thinks Paige met the Aunt so that's covered (but can now be checked).

Hell, the new director that got jumped by Elizabeth has had dinner(s) with her and didn't trigger anything. My guess is that Stan suspects they got into something shady trying to help their business. Something like laundering some money for some bad guys and he's trying to look out for them. That will lead to him figuring out the Russian angle.

At this point it just seems like too much of a jump for Stan to suspect his best friend for over a decade to be a Russian plant.
