Showtime says of “The Clearing”:
Reeling from the recent ambush, Carrie and team struggle to regain control of their operation, while Brody and family attend a tony fundraiser at a Virginia horse farm. Saul visits Aileen in solitary confinement, hoping she’ll provide key intelligence on this latest attack. Meanwhile, an anguished Dana pressures Finn to come clean about their hidden crime. But her quest to tell the truth will collide with her father’s secret mission in ways neither could have foreseen. Directed by John Dahl. Written by Meredith Stiehm.
Aileen Margaret Morgan, fans will recall, is the daughter of wealthy parents who married Raquim Faisel.
More in the text invisible.
* “You’re going to need to follow my lead here.”
* “None of this is fucking okay!!”
* Saul’s visit with Aileen begins in the second scene. The visit will remind some of “Silence of the Lambs” and Clarice’s deal with Lecter. Saul’s scenes are my favorite this week.
* As with Lecter’s, Aileen’s warden turns out to be a colossal asshole.
* The episode begins with Roya Hammad (Zuleikha Robinson) sitting near a suburban street.
* While I certainly understand daughter Dana Brody’s guilt, I can’t say I understand her motivation for wanting to out Finn.
* There’s a young woman at the fundraiser who has some questions for Brody.
Remember that “Firefly” reunion that made Nathan Fillion cry at Comic Con? That same day, the cast and showrunners got together for a new special airing 7 p.m. (and 10 p.m.) on the Science Channel.
"The Walking Dead," featuring the death of T-Dawg and the birth of Baby Grimes, hit a season low last Sunday.
