I think it has been established that Donny is a monitor as per his
burning notes from the steel box that he and Allison struggled over.
He was on the phone as he did it.

I agree, especially about Felix. A man at the end of the fourth
episode picked up Helena, the Ukrainian one, from the alley she
collapeed in and put her in a van. To me looked suspiciously like
Felix despite his identity being obsured by a hat. His height, build,
skin color and the coat he was wearing seemed very similar to Felix.

Either could be true, but I think planting a psychiatrist that is one
of their own is the safer route since bugs can be discovered and if
they can have monitors then I think they could have their own
psychiatrist working in cover.
