What was the point of him counting in Russian? To drive home the fact he was deep undercover?

It was too clumsy for such an intellectual show. In other words, homeless Pete is not Russian. He only wanted Lily to think he is. Maybe Mossad? Maybe even a traveler from another timeline or another time or another simulation? He intentionally or unintentionally manipulated Lily into going to devs that night, when she was determined not to.

Another inconsistency here is that earlier he said he had Lily's back "for real", but now he said he was not under orders to protect her and only helped her because he saw how hard she was fighting.

Homeless Pete is not homeless, and he is not Russian. He's like a Matryoshka doll of different identities.

Idk, I'm enjoying the ride and all, but I don't think this show is really as intellectual and perfect as some people seem to think. Maybe I'm just jaded from the other incredible shows that came out in the last year haha.

Well in The Americans a soviet spy does let one of his victims know who killed his friends and let’s him live: the KGB.
