Really good episode. The tension in the closing part of the episode was brilliant and they had me fooled for a minute. I thought what everyone had mistaken for unclear allegiances turned out to be somewhat of a love story, and I suppose for Carrie it was. Not Yevgeny though. While he does also care, he's seemingly made his position clear by putting his country first. Saul's scenes in DC really put into perspective this brilliant man's powerlessness over an extremely incompetent president. The scenes that displayed Jilal's power were also fantastic, and all this made for an episode where the stakes are sky high. Carrie lying to Jemma was just stone cold, and it's criminal the amount of times I've been fooled throughout the duration of this series. This episode had almost all of Homeland's best elements, and it's promising a really satisfying conclusion.
