“Let us not love with words and speech, but with actions and truth.” – Pastor Tim

The Americans “Born Again” is an episode that’s all about the actions and especially the truth as the show’s sixth episode heats up all the simmering plots. It starts out with proud parents celebrating an existential truth for their daughter and by episode’s end has sent that truth into the cold, harsh light of reality with one hell of an ending.
