These kind of things annoy me about Homeland. They claim to talk to real CIA people for research. But either these people are weird spies or the tv people don't listen to them.
There were so many things which occured in this episode that just wouldn't happen in real life. The CIA man who came to speak to Farah in her home, and spoke openly about the CIA even though he had seen her father through the open doorway.
Farah's father then guessed where she worked, and suggested she had started there after the Langley bombing (just three or four months earlier) and that the CIA would be mad when they knew about her family background with relatives in Iran. There is no way she could suddenly get employed by the CIA after the Langley bombing, she would need high level security clearance and vetting which would take up to a year.
When Mira's boyfriend was searching her home - why did she not see and recognise his car parked outside?
These little things irritate me and make the story so implausible.
