Drones that travel at mach 1 it seems, consider how quickly that one flew to the golf club.

What's with the drawer full of preggo tests? Surely a member of her family could easily find them using her bathroom.

Don't tell me, Brody is going to re-surface at a christening with an Imam in tow..

Wow, that was unexpected in Homeland!

My god, that was brutal. Should have stuck with Downton.

I thought Farah was a financial analyst? Why is she part of the operation?

Wouldn't Carries pregnancy have shown up in the hospital? There are so many tests, shes known for a while so why let Saul hospitalise and inject her with all sorts if she knew she was pregnant?

Where has Angela come from? Jessica just let Dana go? I thought that scene was awful. And Chris, in the background, mute and pointless! He didn't utter a word!

Is this the end of the Dana bullshit ?

Hope so! At least for a while

Oh god lets hope so. She grates so much, complete lack of respect for everyone other than herself.

We can but hope.

Good episode though.

"Don't go without saying goodbye to your brother, Dana!"

Oh, they should let her go. Maybe with luck we won't see her ever again. I hate how she's the only Brody family member the writers seem to think we should care about.

As for Carrie knowing she's pregnant, the god-knows-how-many-pregnancy-test-sticks-in-her-drawer would suggest she is in a state of disbelieving denial and hasn't yet come to terms with the fact.

Can they pay him a lower rate if he doesn't have a speaking part?

This show doesn't work without Brody. It's like 24 without Jack. It just doesn't work imho. It feels too disjointed. The other cast members are good but it needs Brody.

Javaidi is being interrogated in a CIA safe house rather than Langley where there would be max security

Wouldn't Saul want Lockhart to know he just lured Public Enemy number 1? It could save his job at the vey least?

She's such a me, myself and bloody I, I, I, that one.

Shockingly good episode, though.

It needs Brody to do what, though? He's America's most wanted man. He sets foot back on US soil or anyone cops a eyeful of him, he'll be arrested.

People keep saying they want Brody back, and yet I don't know what they would then expect him to do when even a bunch of Colombians who know who he is could turn him in in an instant.

But he could be useful if there were traitors inside government or CIA?

A much better episode. At last, the main story feels like it's moving with some pace, and that scene in Javadi's daughter-in-law's house was brutal.

Here's hoping this is the start of some serious forward momentum.

Well…it was not too difficult for Nazir and this Javadi…
just don't run into Carrie and he would be all right

Dana is one of the most selfish characters i've seen. She's ditched her mother and brother at a time when they need support too.

Hope she is out of it now.

Yep, and teaser trailer of Homeland Season 3 shows Brody in actions.

Saul works for the CIA, he can't go "rogue" especially given that he is about to be demoted/lose his job. There are too many plotholes IMO, it just makes it less believable.

As for traitors inside, I know there was talk of a "mole" but Javaidi didn't seem to have as much information as previously thought, otherwise he wouldn't be so keen to know how the CIA tracked his six operatives in different countries within a twenty minute window. He genuinely thought he could recruit Carrie, before she told him she was there to lure him in.

Do you meant the few second he is on the jeep running wild? I thought I had dreamt of it, glad someone else saw it. I could not remember where/when I did. What was that?

But he set up this mission without the authorisation of his soon to be new boss. Perhaps Saul believes they have come too far to jeopardise this operation he and Carrie have worked so hard to build, despite Carrie's recent attempts of derailing all their hard work. And Saul going to Lockhart now will no doubt only ruin the operation and he and Carrie would be out of the CIA within seconds. Something doesn't ring true with Lockhart anyone. Something doesn't add up. Maybe he is the mole.

And as Quinn said, this is just the beginning. They have come too far now.
