Meanwhile, last week's episode followed Philip and Elizabeth as they set out on their honey trap missions with Deirdre (Clea Lewis) and Ben (Brett Tucker) in Topeka. On the other hand, Oleg proceeded with the investigation of the reported corruption in the food supply chain. He conducted the probe soon after finding out that the CIA had already stopped pursuing him.
Episode 5 also saw Stan enjoy the company of his new girlfriend, Renee (Laurie Holden), despite Philip previously warning him that she could be an undercover KGB agent.
Elsewhere in the episode, Elizabeth discovered the grave mistake committed by the Centre after Ben explained the U.S. government's thrust in developing a pest-resistant strain of wheat in its agricultural program. She immediately informed Philip about it, but things took a bad turn when Philip turned out to be the culprit behind the killing of an innocent lab employee.
Directed by Roxann Dawson and written by Stephen Schiff, "Crossbreed" is set to air on Tuesday, April 11 at 10 p.m. EDT on FX. The next episode titled "The Committee on Human Rights" will be released on April 18.
