Also did they know if she would either have delusions or if so see Brody?

Her meds looked as though they were the same colour as prozac capsules and Prozac is very dangerous for bipolar sufferers because it can make them carry out any suicidal thoughts. Prozac is best used to treat anxiety, ocd, purging or sometimes depression.

I was disappointed that Saul didn't manage to make one of the lenses of his glasses into a stabbing tool to kill Haqqani when they were in the back of the car, or find a knife on the table to stab him with when they were eating, but I guess he cares more about preserving his own life than about trying to kill Haqqani.
I noticed that Haqqani's son was right next to him when Saul said, "You executed your own nephew", and I'm sure that is going to be significant. With Aayan dead, they need a new teen character in the show, don't they? |

I too had a wtf moment with Brody... but then I remembered reading somewhere that he (Damien Lewis) had been slated for a brief return to Homeland via flashbacks and I guessed that, coupled with Carrie believing she was shooting in the street, Brody was another hallucination. I wasn't expecting it to be Zaf (can't remember his name in Homeland ) in the house, though.

It's unlikely that the ISI would substitute anything that would be uncovered as unusual in a hospital blood test - my guess is something mild or a placebo, letting Carrie's illness cloud her mind and compromise her actions and judgement..
(I'm open to be corrected if anyone recognises her symptoms though....) |

Unlikely that missing a dose would have that effect so to me it suggests that she was given something combined with the withdrawal.
Will anyone think to give her a blood test ? Not likely when they know she's bi polar . |

I thought the Brody hallucination was utterly heartbreaking. Very well played by both actors.

I know it's all integral to the plot but after the bombing of the CIA headquarters, 9/11 etc. security around US govenrment buildings does appear to be a little slack.
Secret exits and entrances to basically a fortified embassy, just being able to break into the station chiefs personal quarters and swap some pills around. They seem to have eyes on the whole planet but not the 100 metres that directly surrounds them. Just pushing it a bit too far this series for me. |

I agree . Very unlikely imo that by injesting a placebo it would result in the state Carrie swiftly slipped into , aggressive ranting , paranoia , and finally hallucinations.

I think that Carrie should have gone to see a doctor as soon as she started to feel unwell, but that's Carrie for you.

But Carrie did not realise that she was unwell. A bit like Dr Crusher in Star Trek she reasoned that she was alright so it must be the universe that was awry.

Just as I'd got used to Carrie acting as normal as she can be they go and do this to her !
Actually from the last 2-3 episodes enjoying this series the most since the first, I think because its a stand alone story line really. Bit worrying if this bears any resemblance to real life the way the Pakistani intelligence agency seems to be one step ahead of the CIA |

If half the rumours about them are true then they are not only one step ahead, but are deliberately trying to trip them up. Don't forget that Osama Bin Laden's house was less than a mile away from a Pakistani Military Academy.
Read up please about Daniel Pearl. His story begins when Indian Airlines flight 814 was hijacked in Dec 1999. As in this series, a prisoner exchange took place after a harrowing hijack. One of the low life's exchanged was a Asad Rauf a Brit Pakistani (public school educated). See what he did before his release and after it. Horrible events that happened in real life. homeland referred to it by mentioning Daniel Pearl. |

Interesting that they mentioned James Foley who was killed in August. Either they must film the episodes quite close to transmission or they edited in the reference to James Foley at a later time.
Saul could have increased his chances of evading re-capture if he'd tried to disguise himself (with the help of the grocer). |

I'm sure the reference to James Foley would have been edited in.

That was an excellent episode. Made me wonder why we had to endure nearly a whole episode on Quinn's little freak out.
Anyway, I'm passing the hat round to buy Carrie a new handbag

I'm confused. Did Carrie purposely lead Saul out into the Taliban?
