The guy who wanted Carrie’s job.
What did Saul do for his old friend in the Pakistani military?
We don’t learn this week.

No, she only puts more on!
How does it start?
With Carrie on her computer, trying to ID the earpiece guy coordinating the riot that nearly got her and Quinn killed.

He does not.
Does F. Murray Abraham’s character torture Quinn’s landlord for intel?
Abraham’s character sits the week out. We only see the landlord in the “previously” package.

What’s not so good?
Given all she knows, Carrie this week seems way too surprised at Quinn’s reluctance.
