The upcoming episode of The Americans will see KGB spies Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth's (Keri Russell) patriotism being tested following the result of their flawed mission in the previous installment of the drama series. Also, there is uncertainty of the spies carrying out their plan to execute Pastor Tim (Kelly AuCoin) after they were exposed to a deadly disease (Glanders pathogen) at Gabriel's (Frank Langella) apartment.

Seems like there will be more trouble in store for the KGB spies with FBI officers now mulling to question Tim's wife Martha over Philip's identity. Tim has already told his wife about the Soviet spies. Moreover, Gabriel has been bedridden since coming in contact with the disease and chances of him surviving look slim. However, fans will have to watch the episode to find out what happens to the KGB spies and Tim.

Meanwhile, Nina Krilova (Annet Mahendru) may put her life on the line in Russia as she strives to become a better person. Her fate is also likely to be revealed in this episode.

Talking about the direction of the new season, co-producer of the show Joel Fields told Variety: "We've talked about the shape of the end of this story, and we have a lot of ideas. Our process is that we simultaneously know a lot of things and remain open to the fact that we'll discover things along the way." "I think it's safe to say that if there's a three-act story structure to this big story that we're telling, this season is the end of the second act," Fields said.

The synopsis of the episode reads as follows:

The upcoming episode of The Americans will air on 6 April at 10pm EDT on FX. Click here to watch the episode live online.
