When FX's period drama series "The Americans" returns with an all-new episode, Paige Jennings is still trying to absorb the truth she has learned about her parents, who are spies for the Soviet Union. But this time, she might have to do it quick, because their world is closing in on her.
As revealed in the synopsis for episode 7 of "The Americans" season 5, titled "The Committee on human Rights," Paige (Holly Taylor) will fall deeper into her parents' world. She has always believed that her parents are no ordinary suburban couple. And in the episode to come, it seems like Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth's (Keri Russell) spywork is also taking a toll on their daughter.
As revealed in the previous episode, titled "Crossbreed," both spies, along with Gabriel (Frank Langella), had trouble sorting out their emotions. Following their lab director's death, the trio faced the various stages of grief, but they did their best to restrain their emotions.
Elsewhere in episode 7, Matthew Beeman's (Danny Flaherty) conflicts will reach its critical point, while Philp and Elizabeth's traps take a rather unexpected turn. Meanwhile, Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich) will be facing the consequences of his past actions.
