The Americans, Season 3 Episode 9 (SPOILERS) [View all]
"Do Mail Robots Dream of Electric Sheep?"
It was a fine dramatic scene, one of the best I can recall on American television: in the office of the repair shop, between Elizabeth (Keri Russell) and the bookkeeper, Betty, well-played by actress Lois Smith. It starts with nervous small talk that segues to heart-wrenching conversation that segues once again to condemnation and anger, when Betty realizes she is going to have to kill herself. Two people, both on the verge of tears, helpless in changing the outcome of their chance meeting. Powerful stuff. This show is so damn good.
