The Season 3 finale of The Americans made its way on FX. With Season 4 already being planned, Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys are nominated for their undercover work as spies spy Elizabeth and Philip Jennings in the upcoming 2015 Critics Choice Awards.

In our previous recap, Claudia (Margo Martindale) met with Gabriel (Frank Langella), telling him she still wanted to recruit Paige (Holly Taylor) for the Center. Because she doesn't know who her family is, Elizabeth asks Paige to go with her to Russia and visit her dying grandmother. With his pretend marriage crumbling, Philip took off his hair piece, removed his glasses, and revealed his true self to Martha (Alison Wright).

In our finale recap, Philip had to kill and frame one of Martha's co-workers to make the FBI look away from her. After getting the fake defector arrested, Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich) was given the go-ahead to continue his investigation against Oleg (Costa Ronin), but he is nowhere closer to saving Nina (Annet Mahendru). Elizabeth had a chance to say goodbye to her dying mother.

Before the end credits, Philip was able to tell his wife that he wanted to leave the spy business. Elizabeth was filled with hatred as President Reagan declared the Soviet Union an "evil empire." Unable to control herself, the teary-eyed Paige called Pastor Tim and confessed her parents aren't Americans; they're Russians.

According to TV Line, the FX series joins Justified, Sons of Anarchy as they were all nominated for the fifth annual Critics' Choice Television Awards. Russell and Rhys each earned a nomination for Best Actress/Best Actor In A Drama Series. The show itself scored one for Best Drama Series. We are very happy to say Lois Smith (True Blood) is nominated for Guest Performer In A Drama Series.
