Even though she will be touring Europe, the censorship rules in the country will control her musical choices. Meanwhile, Stalin is dead and the decisions around his successor are taking place.
This showcases the end of a major chapter in Soviet history. Rostov has fully become Sofia’s father figure and he will be spying on a meeting that will decide the next head of the country. He wants her to be moved to the USA. Rustov, who is bugged, complies and enters the meeting dressed like a waiter.
Later on, Khrushchev is picked as the successor and he will rule the Soviet Union. Mindich had been struggling inside the camp and he was surprised when the authorities decided to release him. A poem that Rostov wrote is on his photo but it’s attributed to him. As the episode ends, we realize this move made sure Rustov was still alive.

We might also see Sofia finally moving to the United States which was Rustov’s condition as he wants her to be safe. Richard might also provide help to other people close to Rustov like Anna Urbanova (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead).
If they are successfully able to leave the Soviet Union, they can start a new life. Sofia can finally pursue education and a career in music.
