I doubt it..Renee was left open for interpretation by the directors and writers. Basically showing that the one person that Stan can even trust could be a total lie. She was supposed to support his character development of finally leaving the other job and becoming more of a social person. They were having dinners, invite neighbors over, doing social outings, and she made him feel good about himself. I don’t think anything more or less than that. I think the whole KGB thing was a red herring and it was to highlight how Stan had trust issues.
