The series is set during the Cold War and follows Elizabeth and Philip Jennings, two Soviet KGB intelligence officers posing as an American married couple living in Falls Church, a Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C., with their American-born children Paige and Henry.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.50 million household viewers and gained a 0.6 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.
Philip tells Elizabeth (Keri Russell) that Amador's ring was missing, which is later found by the FBI at a pawn shop where the car was placed.
In March 2013, FX confirmed that the tenth episode of the series would be titled "Only You", and that it would be written by Bradford Winters, and directed by Adam Arkin.

"[6] Matt Zoller Seitz of Vulture gave the episode a perfect 5 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "'Only You' feels like a sequel, or at least a bookend, to 'Gregory,' killing off one of the show's most memorable characters, Derek Luke's Gregory in a lyrically violent set piece preceded by an emotionally wrenching buildup.
"[7] Vicky Frost of The Guardian wrote, "This week's Americans was an interesting meditation on love: why we care for someone, what we'll do for them or the thing we hold dearest; the pain it can cause; what makes it real.
"[8] Carla Day of TV Fanatic gave the episode a 4.8 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "As much as The Americans is about the spy game during the Cold War, it's not about the nuts and bolts of that life, instead it's about the human cost.
