The pitying stares and whispered conversations are what seal the deal for me on “Stand by Me.” This is such a depressing episode because you know where it’s going to go and why. My heart breaks, and I have to commend all the actors for digging deep and putting a face to devastating grief.

A War is Diverted. Retrospective, The Americans – “In Control”
The Americans gives us a thought-provoking look at the behind-the-scenes machinations in both the United States and Russia on the day President Reagan was shot in “In Control.” Interestingly, both sides are concerned about the same thing: who shot the president and what does it mean for their country? If what is portrayed in this fourth episode has a modicum of truth to it, little did we know that World War III was narrowly averted thanks, in part, to the Russian spies living in America.

A Mysterious Newspaper Ad and a Former Lover. Retrospective: The Americans – “Gregory”
Stan’s (Noah Emmerich) recruitment of Nina (Annet Mahendru) pays off big time when she tells him about a recently discovered dead Directorate S operative’s wife. In the meantime, Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth (Keri Russell) learn about the same woman via a newspaper ad, purportedly placed by Robert (Chase Coleman), their former Soviet partner, and Elizabeth uses former lover Gregory (Derek Luke) to track the woman down. Last, but certainly not least, Emmy® winner Margo Martindale joins the cast as Claudia, the Jennings’ new handler. And what a welcome addition she is.

Playing Footsie with a Blow Torch? Ouch! Review: Justified “Foot Chase”
If puns were a dime a dozen, “Foot Chase” would have nearly a dollar or so by the end of it. The humor infused into this episode is not overstated and is placed just so, as to not take away from the point. “Foot Chase” impresses with its sarcastic humor, unapologetic brutality, and entertains with a pinch of “sweet underage love” to make things weirder.

As expected, their journey involves encountering bad guys while someone orchestrates a secret plan.
