A conference audience is milling around a podium. It is a meeting of the SPE Petroleum Technology Conference in Moscow, and the Chairman of Russneft is the keynote speaker. He emerges to applause, flashing a dazzling smile to the audience. “Hi”, he says, “my name is Mischa”.

Mischa was the biggest waste of time in any recent good show.

RONALD REAGAN visits Henry's boarding school and shakes his hand. Within the few words exchanged, he realizes the awful secret.

Smash cut to a Northern Virginia home. The Gipper rings the doorbell, and when Phil opens it to see who it is, Reagan takes him and Elizabeth both out with one vicious haymaker. Stan looks on from across the street with a glimmering tear in his eye, and Renee transforms into the majestic bald eagle she secretly was all along.

The background is replaced by a waving United States Flag. The national anthem starts playing.

Only if Reagan immediately goes full senile, asking where he is and where is Nancy.

Philip's name is also Mischa.

Yep. I thought it would be nice for Philip’s KGB pals to set him up as an oligarch after the dissolution of the USSR.

Though I’m also still partial to a Bollywood ending.

Seriously. Was there any kind of closure? As I remember it, at some point he just straight up stopped appearing in the show. Maybe he'll turn up in the finale, and we'll learn that his full name is Mischa Chekhov.

My dumbass opinions are only outweighed by my racism.

No one forgot that I exist to defend violent cops, champion chaining down immigrants, and have trash opinions on cooking.

Well technically Phillip didn't kill anyone in Chicago.

Suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

I hate you all.
The euthanizing was also an "Elizabeth thinks for herself" moment because she could have saved her and kept her husband at the negotiations.

Why would the kid tell Elizabeth he looked in the box? :psyduck:

I doubt it would have been possible to get the FBI involved that fast, but if you can’t calm your nerves, don’t get in the car.

Make some excuse like “I got bad news about my mom and I have a ticket on the first flight home.”
