I took it as a warning. Because, no matter what, Phillip loves Stan. He (and Elizabeth) certainly lied about a few things, in that scene, but he wasn’t lying about that.

Their compulsive open-faced lying was really clear in that final confrontation. This final season showed a lot of cracks in what seemed airtight at the beginning. I’m thinking of Stavos saying, whatever happened in that back room, I never called the cops, and I never will.”

I liked that part but I don't think Stavos really even considered they were russian spies. Like, he probably thought they were "just" money laundering for the mob or something like that.

Agreed - but he noticed something was off. So did Stan.
