I thought this was a great episode! And what a shitshow of a day for everyone! I wondered why Brody didn’t just load up the tailor and take his body to the safe house, surely the people there could dispose of the corpse more easily than he could? Plus he could show them his bashed head to prove it was self defense, while at this point he has some explaining to do.

The story is clearly going towards Mike playing some sort of hero role and of course saving Jessica and the kids, I think his surprise at the CIA affair story will serve as a clue for him later as he pieces the whole thing together.

As for Carrie and Saul, will they go to the politically motivated Estes with this information, or will they have to form a rogue team outside of the agency to take Brody down? The first episode previews showed Carrie visiting Brody at a hotel? so I’m thinking now that is a bait tactic.

Regardless of what obstacles will surely come next, I was so glad to see the end of this episode resolve the way it did; with Saul letting Carrie know she was right to trust her instincts, and he was right to have faith in her. I don’t know how this doesn’t paint them into a corner but I loved seeing that moment of vindication and relief.

I can’t wait for next week!

    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)
