It’s all about the characters this week on the latest episode of The Americans entitled ”Born Again”. It was written by Tracey Scott Wilson and directed by Kevin Dowling. The original air date for the episode was March 4, 2015.

Paige finally gets her baptism at the hands of Pastor Tim while Elizabeth and Philip look on. Philip is able to get a listening device planted in Isaac Breeland’s briefcase while deflecting Kimmy’s advances. Both Elizabeth and Philip try to tell Paige something to help her be prepared for what they know is coming, but she is only confused by the conversations. Stan and Tori have dinner at the Jennings’ and later share an intimate moment. After the death of an old friend, Stan sees Sandra and Matthew.   Nina is able to get a confession from Evi with the expected sad outcome. Gabriel meets with Philip and vaguely blackmails him into pursuing Kimmy sexually. He later meets with Elizabeth and pushes her buttons to get the results he needs. Elizabeth takes Paige to a gritty part of the city to discuss her role in “civil rights” and push her daughter to think there is more to do than just protest how things are.

We have a lot of history to cover this week! We start with the concept of being Born Again, suffer through the early 1980s recession while consoling ourselves with Orville Redenbacher's Popcorn. Next we learn about Reagan Administration and the Anti-apartheid movement, South Africa’s National Intelligence Service, listen to some cool Pink Floyd and contemplate the made up Brands for TV and Movies. For the first time since we started, there wasn’t any tech of yesteryear that we hadn’t seen!
