Carrie's acting a little off

Warning: Spoilers
A decent episode but I didn't like the way Carrie kept apologizing to Brody and acting all heartbroken by him. It's ridiculous because they were not in a relationship.

For me the exciting thing about them hooking up is that I saw it as them using each other, both for stress relief (they both have very stressful lives) and more importantly as information gathering. She wants to know if he's been "turned", he wants to know if the CIA suspect he's been turned. They both use the truth as a weapon to confuse/convince each other that they're trustworthy. It's a total mind bender and I love it. I also think it's silly that Brody is suddenly no longer a suspect, when their new suspect is so closely connected to him. Especially since Brody went on the record saying that the guy is dead and buried.

Despite my complaints this is a great show and it definitely has me hooked.
