I don't suspect Mike. I think he was just a family friend & fancied Jess. She did make clear that the affair hadn't begun untl 6 years after Brody went missing. I don't really blame either of them, they genuinely thought he was dead.

(re: Carrie & her pills^^)
They also didn't show how she got home from the cabin last week? I assume she would have had to call her sister, who probably gave her more pills. But I agree that they seemed to make such a big deal about it at first & now not...

This whole part is the bit that doesn't ring true for me. Carrie is being terribly unprofessional & not using the information she has from Brody (whether personally or telling her superiors). She ought too to have made the CIA aware of what she had shared with Brody. I Mean info, not...!
Similarly, Saul was inefficient in simply shrugging off her confession about her relationship with Brody. His first question should have been, what did you tell him & what did he tell you? Does he know you were watching him? And he should have been crosser.
I can't believe the CIA would simply discount a former suspect as quickly as they did with Brody (didn;t they learn their lesson with Aileen & her boyfriend?!) - a file would remain open for a while, surely.
Niggles, I know & it's fiction & I have to suspend my disbelief. But the CIA are not performing here for me.
Having said that, am loving the series. The highlight of my week & I look forward to each episode.
