This episode picks up right where the last one left off. We’re digging up the Dallas/Fort Worth area in summer 1962, just as 22 year-old Lee and 20 year-old Marina Oswald make their return to the United States from Minsk, USSR, where Lee had spent the last three years. We cover the somewhat competing narratives around how the Oswalds were first introduced to the de Mohrenschildts and settle on our preferred interpretation. Without giving away too many spoilers, each link in the chain binding the Oswalds to the White Russians is dipped in oil and monitored under the watchful eye of the CIA. It’s really the same “general dynamic” (pun intended) that prevailed in the scene we’ve been setting over the last two episodes.

We go on to deepen our illustration of the White Russian Milieu, doing our best not to get bogged down in all those consonant-heavy Cyrillic names while still hitting the key points we’ll need to know once we get back to the Warren Commission - and to Albert Jenner’s interrogation of the de Mohrenschildts - in the next and final installment of this content cluster. In that spirit, we zoom in on General Dynamics and its employees who were connected to de Mohrenschildt and the other White Russians. Wouldn’t you know it, those same threads also lead to the FBI, the Mafia, the oil industry (obviously), and Lyndon Johnson’s Texas Democratic political machine.

We move the narrative forward in time, covering the brief but meaningful period the de Mohrenschildts and Oswalds’ friendship lasted: July 1962 - April 1963. In that span, we cover the “hand-off” of the Oswalds to the Paines, and do a brief overview of their spooked-up background, and we also touch on the incident at Easter when Jeanne de Mohrenschildt catches a chance glimpse of a rifle in the Oswalds’ Dallas closet.

We consider and discuss the ways in which the innocent surface-level narratives around some of the seemingly deep events going on at this time conceal the sub-rosa activities of the deceitful, enigmatic actors on the stage. You won’t want to miss it!
