First, Carrie has to get past the fact that she saw Yevgeny coming out of Guloms office.
Why would an Afghan leader be talking to Yevgeny?
Are the Russians and Afghans working together again?
Almost more disturbing is the final scene of the episode in which Yevgeny implies Carrie knows why hes there.
Gulom doesnt take her seriously at all.
So, what does Carrie do?
She goes to find a gun.
Or rather, one lands in her lap.
Theres a note on her desk with a name: Samira Noori.
It doesnt take long for Carrie to figure out who that is and why shes important.
But you would think Carrie would know to source intel at all times by now.)
So, clearly, shes someone with information and possibly still has a plan to try and use it.
It could be a set-up or it could be leverage to use against Gulom.
Carrie rolls the dice on the latter.
Jenna and her partner panic, basically kidnapping Samira.
He gets the freed prisoner to take a letter to the Taliban leader encouraging peace and a meeting.
And then he waits.
And then, in classicHomelandfashion, all hell breaks loose.
As Haqqani comes to meet with Saul, shots ring out.
Saul is rushed to brief safety before a hood is placed on his head.
Carrie, what have you done?
Final Notes
The credits are back!
Its Sauls: I believe you.
No one else will.
It feels like we should go back and watch season four, right?
And this time the asset isnt even sure herself.
Lets talk this through: Yevgeny seems to congratulate Carrie on the Gulom mission as if theyre working together.
Maybe theres someone in there who really matters to the Russians.
And maybe Carrie is working, without her knowledge, to get him out.
