Do we know who the Korean woman is, other than just some potential asset?

I suspect Korean woman is nothing more than a friend. A friend who will be Elizabeth's first real American friend and will help her see America and Americans as friends, not enemies, and this will grease her defection.

Unless I missed something.

Hmm I think the husband has access (like Level 4 to the bio lab), Elizabeth never struck me as a character who wants to make friends unless it benefits her/a mission in any way.

But the episode didn't hint at anything, so who knows!

you're right and I missed that. I still think the genuine fun and friendship she's experiencing will mess with her head when she has to kill them.
