Majid Javadi may now be in Saul's custody but he still needs to be turned into a double agent. He's assumed Saul would just want to learn what he knew before letting him retire into protective custody; he certainly didn't think Saul would want him to return to his job as Deputy Head of Iranian intelligence in Tehran. Meanwhile the police investigation into the murder of Javadi's ex-wife and daughter-in-law has turned up security camera footage of Quinn entering the house making him a prime suspect. Once Javadi understands that he has no choice but to work for Saul he gives up another piece of information: Brody was not responsible for the CIA bombing. With the operation beginning Saul just has one more thing to do; he must keep Senator Lockhart from shutting it down before Javadi can leave the country.
This was another quality episode; it make have lacked the shocks of the previous instalment but it was still gripping; it helped that we didn't have the distractions of the problems in the Brody family. Unusually there were some amusing moments as well; watching Saul turn the tables on Lockhart was priceless! As always the acting was good and once again Rupert Friend's portrayal of Quinn stood out as his character dwelt on some of the things he'd done in the service of the CIA. After the previous couple of episodes I'm sure anybody who considered dropping the series during the less dramatic opening episodes will be glad they stuck with it and those that did drop it might want to reconsider now we have returned to the classic espionage thriller.
