Suddenly her eyes snap open and Carrie sprints off to the bathroom to practice what she learned in college. I hate to be the harbinger of bad news, but even though she’s averted suicide by yukking all the pills back, she’s going to have a devil of a time explaining why she needs a refill, and might just have to go sans meds from now on. But, what’s the worst that could happen?
~~~
In the woods it’s raining and dark and Brody is wallowing around in the mud desperately digging a shallow grave, and wrestling the flopping corpse into it. Solid plan that will never get discovered, I’m sure. Too bad he’s just a congressman, senators have aides to bury their bodies for them.
~~~
Can I just point out that Saul must be on the longest plane ride known to man?

The benefit is in gentle swing, with lively violin concertos playing in the background and a disgruntled VP asking Jessica who he’s supposed to go up and introduce. The stoic Jess says she will perform her own damage control and approaches the podium alone. She lets everyone know Brody is suffering car trouble and then offers to give her perspective as the wife of a veteran. Her beginning is shaky but of course the strength of her story gives her courage and she wins them all over with her tale of waiting and wanting to help Brody adapt after the 8 years he spent away.
“You’re not going to tell them we fucked, right?”
She lovingly rats Brody out for acting like a violent, distant, impotent asshole to her and the kids and laments not having resources to help her adjust to his needs. She is talking off the cuff here but opines that some of the money raised should go to establishing a center to counsel families expecting wounded veterans home.
“Thanks for your support and contribution to this cause. Now I’d like to use that money to benefit people like me”
She is met with tear-filled eyes and rousing applause at this extemporaneous idea, which is strange because although it is a valid concept, based on the conditions of some of the VA hospitals and reintegration services, our wounded vets need every penny that can be raised and then some. I guess the people who weren’t clapping were hard to see since they were confined to their wheelchairs during the standing ovation.

“Just your local congressman tidying up after a long day in the office, nothing to see here”

Mike gives Jess a lift home because she presumably walked to the benefit. He tells her she was amazing, at the benefit, not when they used to be in love. She tries inviting him in for a nightcap, but he’s wise to her tricks and firm about being a good friend to Brody. He offers a vote of confidence for Brody’s whereabouts, but Jess lays out the whole “Yeah? Well, he spent a whole weekend fucking that crazy CIA bitch” on Mike. This Mike did not know.
Advantage: Mike

Bravo MrsMiaWallace! Fantastic recaps–just the right amount of snark and I love how you point out all the inconsistencies and inaccuracies that drive me nuts! Where is their son?? With Dexter’s little boy? Favorite line–”I’m going to hump the patriotism back in you”.
This show just keeps getting better and better. There has to be some kind of twist or an incomplete video ? No way can they wrap this up so fast. I am anxious to see how it plays out. Good job with the recap. Luckily, Carrie can always steal more of her dads pills…or hit up her sister.
Awesome recap. Still not sure how you manage to bring humor into this show but keep up the good work!
I believe the preview showed Estes saying something about how Carrie was right all along, as though he had seen the video. I think what’s about to happen is some Departed-esque plot: you send a mole into my group (CIA will try to get Carrie back in with Brody); I send one to yours (Brtish journalist lady will make sure he starts hooking up with Carrie again).
If the bomb maker was truly loyal to the “cause,” would he really give Brody up that easily? The whole flat tire/Falling on a conveniently placed spike annoyed me. Carrie’s struggles are SO believable, while Brody’s just get more ridiculous. I think they need to resolve his plot this season, then keep the show going with Carrie & Co still after Nazir or some other group.
I commented last week that I was hoping Mike and the drunk friend would somehow team up with Carrie to help being Brody down. His reaction to Jessica’s news of Brody’s affair makes it seem like that might happen!
I agree the Brody situation is getting weird. However, I would not want to see Brody gone. Maybe they will turn him to get to Nazir. I would like to see him stay on the show. I guess he could use the brain washing excuse. I have to see the tape again to see the background. If it looks like it could have been made anywhere he could say the terrorist coerced him into making it after being tortured for 8 yrs.
I had the exact same thought regarding the freeform jazz music being the very last thing that Carrie should listen to when trying to calm herself. I’m half tempted to suggest to the writers that they write in a Norah Jones Muzak mix tape for Carrie when she’s trying maintain some semblance of control when she’s about to enter a high-stakes, nerve fraying situation. That…..or a never ending loop Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”.
(LMAO, “what about this face doesn’t look sane?”= coffee spray on my iPad)
