a suburban couple
A "suburban couple" are two married people who live in the suburbs, which is a small town that's nearby a larger city.
In the U.S., living in the suburbs is associated with having a "normal" family life. The suburbs seem safe but boring.
an undercover spy
A "spy" is someone who pretends to be part of one group, but is actually giving information to another group. For example, the U.S. has spies living in other countries who send information back to the U.S. government.
When a person "goes undercover", they use a false identity in order to get some kind of information. In addition to spies, police officers also sometimes go undercover.
