Very interested to see what happens between the Directorate S agents and the Residentura.

Oleg was a great addition to the cast, btw.

I'm thinking Granny makes an appearance tonight.

SEASON FINALE - Episode 13 / Production #213 - "Echo" (Airs May 21, 10:00 pm e/p) - No one is safe as Philip and Elizabeth evacuate their children while trying to complete the mission. Stan holds Nina's future in his hands.

I'll have to catch the encore so I'll try to stay out of here until then.

I'll give your questions my best shot based on what we have seen on screen and logical assumptions on my part.

quote:

1) How did Larick know about "George" in the first place?


Larrick had a phone number - if it was the one he used to call Emmett and LeeAnn or Philip and Elizabeth, I don't know - and posed as a police detective at the phone company. The number was unlisted but the clerk gave him the location of the nearest junction box. He followed the wire into a house - remember when he broke in the house where a mom and young child were in and he almost got caught when the daughter came into a room to look for a doll? The wire was routed through that house and continued on into another house. That's where George and the switching station were.

quote:

2) Does Jared know his parents were Soviets?


I assume so as Jared asked if he was being shipped to another country. If he thought his parents were American spies, I doubt he asks that question. And I think his parents told him who they were not Kate. The end of last episode when Elizabeth is panicking about what would happen to Paige and Henry if they were in Jared's situation leads me to think Elizabeth is considering telling Paige the truth as well, to prepare and train her for what could happen.

quote:

3) Did Larick just guess that Jared was going to a train station? Seems like Elizabeth had him change and throw away his backpack at a random rest top off the interstate, so that's not a gigantic tip-off about where he was headed. Looks like he circled two locations on the map, which I am guessing were Amtrak stations or something like that. Lucky guess on his part? Loose plot device to have a showdown between Larick and Jared's handlers in New York? Or am I missing something?


Yes, I think it was an educated guess. Maybe Emmett and LeeAnn used trains to send him places if things got too hot? By the time he got to the station Jared used, it was 2 hours later. That probably wasn't his first stop looking for Jared.

quote:

4) Where the hell was Larick watching Jared from, when Elizabeth picked him up?


Looked like the upstairs of a neighboring house. Maybe a house that was vacant and for sale? Just a guess. Could be an apartment building in the neighborhood as well.

Thanks Looks like there a couple of loose plot connectors (Larick spying on Jared and Larick figuring out he was at an Amtrak station).

quote:

Okay, this makes sense. Looks like all of his correspondence may have been done indirectly then? Basically everything went through George in that case.

Yeah, he definitely went into the wrong house. Just a random family with young kids, which had the same connection to the phone company as George, and then he saw the basement light was on.

Just an hour until the finale (although I will have to watch it later than that).

Wished that Inside US Soccer didn't also come on at 9 tonight. Like I said I can catch the encore but that leaves me with 30 minuets with nothing to watch.

Did his parents not want him to get involved in their line of work like he was?

I wonder if Kate knew?
