Tonight’s episode of Homeland features Carrie returning to her compromising work ethic and a new surprise.
Not even halfway through season four, and shes already dipping into the honey pot again onHomeland.
Early in the episode, Carrie approaches Saul and surprisingly begs him to join forces with her.
Purportedly, this episode is about finding the man who killed Sandy.
What is the purpose of flushing out this one spook in the large scheme of things?
Of course, Saul still does it when he discovers even Pakistani intelligence has pencil pushers.
The answer, as it turns out, lies more in the Aayan story.
Im shocked, said nobody.
It is a convenient twist but an useful one.
And Quinns the one with hang-ups?
But in Carries defense, this plot goes sickeningly deep inside the U.S. government beyond Sandy Bachman.
As it turns out, Sandy was getting his secrets from the U.S. ambassadors husband.
She promises this will end well for him.
Im sure Aayan thinks so too.
This isnt a scattershot PTSD mole that needs a friend with benefits to escape the alien wife.
So why do it?
In the moment before she initiates the seduction, there is a second where she looks in the mirror.
What does her face say there?
Regret for what shes about to do?
Relief that she found another semi-terrorist to fulfill a fetish?
Im not sure, and I dont think she knows either.
Until she and the audience get a better handle on her actions, I treat this as tentatively intriguing.
In the meantime, there is no denying that this episode was a taut and well-oiled hour ofHomeland.
Season four may have finally buried Brody, after all.
