About this episode

In episodes three and four of For All Mankind season four, respectively titled: ‘The Bear Hug’ and ‘House Divided’, the Soviets are dealing with a coup that has stripped Gorbachev of his Presidency. As Margo deals with the repercussions of this, she is reunited with the mysterious woman at the park and is finally being put to good use for the Russians. Meanwhile, on Happy Valley, due to increased pressure from his wife on money issues, Miles has taken desperate measures to increase the cashflow by taking on some side work as a space smuggler. Up top, Ed kindles his relationship with Russian Cosmonaut, Sveta, who gets herself into some trouble by accidentally hurting a comrade. And back on earth, Kelly and Aleida team up with Dev to take control of Helios and get the SEEKER Program up and running.


Welcome to our series coverage of For All Mankind (on Apple TV+) by Story Archives. Join us week to week as we cover the hit Apple TV Plus show and it’s interesting retelling of how history would have unraveled had the space race never ended.


For All Mankind is an American science fiction drama television series created by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi and produced for Apple TV+. The series dramatizes an alternate history depicting "what would have happened if the global space race had never ended" after the Soviet Union succeeds in the first crewed Moon landing ahead of the United States. The title is inspired by the lunar plaque left on the Moon by the crew of Apollo 11, which reads, in part, "We Came in Peace for All Mankind".
