Homeland 4.9 FAQ
What’s it called?
“There’s Something Else Going On.”
Why?
It’s one of Carrie’s lines. There’s a reason the ISI wanted her out of town.
Who’s responsible?
Controversy! Publicity materials indicate the teleplay is credited to Chip Johannessen (“From A To Be and Back Again”) and Patrick Harbinson (“Iron in the Fire”), who also wrote last week’s installment featuring the escape and recapture of Saul Berenson. But the sole screenwriting credit in the teaser goes to Harbinson alone.
What says Showtime?
“Carrie improvises to salvage her mission. The CIA closes in on a security leak.”
How starts this week’s installment?
Quinn is introduced to the cuffed terrorist commanders being traded for Saul.
Before he escaped, Saul was tied up and left in a bedroom to watch his captor fuck his wife. Is the recaptured Saul more into it this week?
No return visit is made to that bedroom.
Does Quinn comfort Fara while Carrie and Saul endure their abductions?
No Fara again this week.
I suspect the ambassador will learn her husband is a traitor. Does she mete out any physical abuse?
She has marines at her disposal.
Does Carrie this week bone the handsome officer who let her sleep in his bed last week?
Not this week.
The big news?
We learn the drugs Carrie took were twice as powerful as LSD.
What else is Showtime not telling us?
Saul’s wife phones.
What’s good?
Saul’s traveling companion. “Sit the fuck down.” “Publicly it was.” “You are finished everywhere.” “Isn’t it?” “You could say so.” “Why don’t you put it on?”
What’s not so good?
After tonight, just three 2014 episodes left.
How does it end, spoiler boy?
Terrorists march down a dimly lit corridor.
9 p.m. Sunday. Showtime.
