In episode 3 of Watching the Americans we share our thoughts on The Americans season 2 episode 2 entitled, "Cardinal.” “Cardinal” aired on March 5, 2014, was written by Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg, and was directed by Daniel Sackheim.

We give a brief recap of “Cardinal”, talk about Oleg being a jerk, the KGB finding out that the FBI killed Vlad, and the events involving Emmet, Martha, Paige, and Fred. We also discuss the history of Nicaragua, Super Bowl XVI, the Contra war of the 1980's, Bo Derek, and Ariel Sharon.
