Tonight’s episode is called “Urban Transit Planning,” which refers to the new job by a veteran Soviet character on this series, who’s returning to the U.S. to take a graduate school class in that sociological discipline. That’s his cover story, anyway. What he’s really in the States to do is persuade a Soviet spy in this country to spy on one of his own – which ends up adding even more tension to the already fraught relationship of sleeper agents Philip and Elizabeth.
