We are getting closer to the finish line, and Leviathan gave us another detour. I sort of suspected Ivchenko was with Leviathan. It was sort of coincidental when the typewriter sent a message to the SSR luring them to Russia, even though they must have known it was found.
I did love the larger focus on Dottie as it shows both her innocent facade and dangerous, terrifying self. She is one truly great villain. And that plays well against Atwell's heroic performance.
I did like the action in this episode especially in the automat with the accompanying music. The action in this series as a whole is great but it was intriguing to watch Carter and Jarvis take on some agents.
Angie was awesome too, using her acting chops to fool the agents in order to help Peggy. Just that scene is hilarious because it makes it so awkward for Thompson and Sousa that they have to leave.
I am now glad that both Carter and the rest of the SSR are at the same stage of the investigation, not necessarily the same side though. I did find it annoying the use of Yauch. Sure, he wasn't really important or focused on in any episode, just sort of there. But the sudden focus on him in this episode and his death was sort of odd. I understand the need for him to let Ivchenko progress with his plans it was just odd that Yauch had no development before this and yet had a significant amount of screen time before being thrown under the bus. *wink wink*
+ Contrast between Dottie and Carter + Automat action + Fonseca's Angie - Ivchenko working for Leviathan didn't surprise me - Use of Yauch
Final Score: 8.4
