I'm not really a fan of dream sequences, but the Salvation Nina and Zombie Pastor Tim scenes were both done just so brilliantly well.

Glanders: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glanders > Glanders has been known since antiquity, with a description by Hippocrates around 425 BCE.[7] From the Middle Ages to the 1900s, glanders was a significant threat to armies.[8][1] Before the Battle of Blenheim in 1704, glanders may have afflicted and greatly diminished the horses of Marshal Tallard's cavalry, helping the Duke of Marlborough win the battle.[9] Glanders was a significant problem for civilian use of horses, as well. In the 18th-century veterinary hospital at the École Nationale Vétérinaire d'Alfort, glanders was the most common disease among their equine patients and the one most likely to cause death.[10] Due to the high mortality rate in humans and the small number of organisms required to establish infection, B. mallei is regarded as a potential biological warfare or bioterrorism agent, as is the closely related organism, B. pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis. During World War I, glanders was believed to have been spread deliberately by German agents to infect large numbers of Russian horses and mules on the Eastern Front.[11] Other agents attempted to introduce the disease in the United States and Argentina. This had an effect on troop and supply convoys, as well as on artillery movement, which were dependent on horses and mules. Human cases in Russia increased with the infections during and after WWI. The Japanese deliberately infected horses, civilians, and prisoners of war with B. mallei at the Unit 731 Pingfang (China) Institute and Unit 100 facilities during World War II. The U.S. studied this agent as a possible biological weapon in 1943–44, but did not weaponize it. U.S. interest in glanders (agent LA) continued through the 1950s, except it had an inexplicable tendency to lose virulence in the lab, making it difficult to weaponize. Between 1982 and 1984, the Soviet Union allegedly used weaponized B. mallei during the Soviet–Afghan War.[12] <

I must've missed the episode where Granny was the "bad guy" for her handlees. The episode she tortured them was because there were 3 people that could have been the mole and they were 2 of them. Everything else she's done (and Gabriel too) has been as the middle man for the Centre. The Russians ain't working against the other Russians :) Originally airing on March 30, 2016, 'Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow' is Episode 3 of Season 4 of The Americans. It is the 42nd episode overall and has an IMDB rating of 8.2, placing it as the #7 ranked episode of this season and #14 out of all the episodes shown so far.

For some reason - we (me included at times) are rooting for the protagonists in the show - Philip and Elizabeth - the people we've seen do the worst things to the most innocent people. I think this show does a really good job of blending the good vs evil concept into a whole lot of gray. But every time the handlers come on it feels like the point of their jobs is being missed, which is (personal opinion) skewing the scenes a bit on what is happening during the conversations. That's why I bring it up - regardless of whether or not you may or may not be eventually correct. ;)

Rejoice! A perfectly non-stressful dinner party! I'm sure it will all work out just fine. 😀
