In season two’s “The Round Table Affair,” Illya has been detained in the Ingolstein jail for a variety of crimes.  To pass the time, he is reading from the Ingolstein Travel Guide to Linda, a woman in Communications.  At one point she says, “Oh, Mr. Kuryakin, it sounds so romantic!  I wish I were there with you” to which he answers, enthusiastically and without a hint of sarcasm, “So do I, Linda.”  The challenge is: Who is Linda and what is she to Illya?
