## What Is “Bad Dancer” About?

Irina has an unexpected encounter, while the Soviets scramble to maintain their dominance on the Moon. After Anastasia’s off-script lunar broadcast shook the KGB to its core, the pressure inside Star City is at a boiling point — and Episode 3 looks set to push Irina Morozova’s ideological conflict front and centre.

The illusion of perfect Soviet control is fracturing from within, and “Bad Dancer” is where the fallout truly begins.
