![]() ![]() You can imagine what must be going through her head: Do they have peanut butter in Russia? What will my life become? The wordless scene of the three of them sitting around the kitchen table in the safe house, Martha intently examining a jar of Skippy peanut butter, perfectly captures the queasiness of her situation. She boards a teeny plane and takes off into the early-morning darkness, presumably never to be seen again. Directed by Matthew Rhys, last night’s episode - amazingly titled “The Magic of David Copperfield V: The Statue of Liberty Disappears” - begins with a dreamlike sequence in which Philip and Gabriel accompany Martha to a remote airfield. Things have never been worse for the characters on The Americans, and yet the show has never been better. ![]()
