"Irina Semenova" redirects here. For the Uzbekistani chess player, see Irina Semenova (chess player). Philip is sent to New York City to discredit a Polish dissident. While there, he has sex with agent Irina Semenova, who was his lover before he left Russia. She asserts that her son in Russia is from their relationship. After the successful mission, she tells Philip she plans to leave the KGB and disappear; she invites Philip to join her, but he declines. Elizabeth gains a new source within the SDI project by paying off his gambling debt. Meanwhile, Stan misses a family dinner to work late; his colleague takes him to a bar and urges him to pick up a woman for casual sex, but he instead calls Nina, and they have sex. Agent Gaad indicates that the FBI may never deliver on Stan's promise to extricate Nina from the embassy. When Philip returns, Elizabeth apologizes for their prior rift and asks him to try to make their marriage real. He agrees, but lies to her about his night with Irina.
