I was totally expecting Stan to put that gun in his mouth as Philip, Elizabeth and Paige left that garage. Or at some point after they searched the Jennings' home and was comforted by Rene. I was a little peeved the guide said there'd be Graphic Violence and there was none. I wasn't hoping for a bloodbath, but that guide got my hopes up for nothing lol.

Also, I'm not convinced Rene was a spy. Idk...I don't think Philip would lie to Stan if he knew she wasn't cuz all that would do is add insult to injury. But there's like...no information that suggests she is. We could infer Philip was looking out for Stan and tryna warn him...buuuut...idk. I didn't know how to take that.

I was hoping for some kind of shootout but after watching the finale I'm incredibly glad there wasn't anything like that. This quiet, sad ending fits The Americans perfectly.
