His wife Mira is back at home, though in a separate bedroom, which gives him another chance to assess his life. Mandy Patinkin is so wonderful in these quiet, emotional scenes, and it proves the show doesn't need the big explosions to bolster its dramatic weight. His right hand man is now Dar Adal, which is another shock — he's the sinister boss of black ops, so if they're putting him near the top, that bomb must have truly decimated the leadership. His presence comes in handy with the episode's big set-piece, however: six assassinations though Saul wobbles over this: "We're not assassins, we're spies" across three continents, within a minute window, to take out the brains behind the CIA attack.
Quinn fails to hit his target initially, as there's a child in the car, but then, in a twist you could see coming from a sniper's sight away, he shot the kid by accident anyway. Quinn has got feelings, as he showed when he decided not to shoot Brody, so expect that action to have consequences. Saul's pleased that the operation is ostensibly a success — there's a clear hardening of his personality over the course of the episode.
But it isn't enough for Senator Lockhart, who goes all conspiracy theorist and suggests that it's convenient timing for the CIA. Saul pulls it back by publicly selling Carrie down the river: following the planted article in the paper, he admits that she's bipolar, she concealed it from him, that she had sex with Brody.
I don't like this new, tough Saul one bit. The final few minutes aside, this was a surprisingly restrained return, and in many ways, it reset the clock. It left me feeling like I'd seen the old Homeland, rather than the cartoonish season two. I'm cautiously hopeful that this is going to be a quality season.
When Carrie storms into the restaurant to confront Saul and Dar Adal, their attempt to calm her is comical: "Sit down, have some tiramisu. What does all the Wizard of Oz code mean? Brody's future was bleak and he had nowhere else to go, since he was a wanted man suffering from a gunshot wound. Desperate and alone, he succumbed to the lure of the heroin he's only a cockroach after all offered by the creepy Dr.
And as awful as it sounds, it was still really hard for me to care about her storyline. But I think that just proves that Homeland has never really known what to do with Dana as a character.
Hopefully that will change in Season 4. Fara proved to be a great, although at times apprehensive with good reason as Saul and Carrie are crazy , member of the team, especially since her family members in Iran assisted Carrie when she went to Tehran. For Season 4, Boniadi will be a series regular. In order to help Jessica find Dana and her gross boyfriend oh right, Dana also ran away , Carrie instituted the "yoga play," where a woman who looked like her went to yoga in order to lose the surveillance team that Bennett had placed on her.
Peter Quinn Rupert Friend disapproved of the plan — and with good reason. Majid Javadi, the man who they thought was behind the Langley bombing more on that later , was working with Bennett, and after the yoga play she was captured and brought to him. With the death of Estes, Saul became acting director of the CIA, with the thought that he'd be appointed director.
Turned out the president had other plans and appointed the jerkface Senator Lockhart portrayed by Tracy Letts — who is also the playwright of August: Osage County to take over. Lockhart had it out for Saul and Carrie, but at the end of Season 3, Saul's crazy schemes all miraculously worked out. Yet the season finale showed Saul leaving the CIA in Lockhart's hands and working in the private sector.
Well, "good" might not be the correct term as Javadi murdered his ex-wife and daughter-in-law in front of a baby. To make matters worse, Quinn — who already accidentally killed a child in the season premiere — had to take the wrap for killing Javadi's family in order to protect the CIA's plan. They sent him back to Iran to work as an undercover agent for the US. But not before Javadi messed with Carrie's head by telling her the person behind the Langley bombing was still out there.
