President Keanes depending on it.
And she may very well succeed.
This week, everyone (yes, everyoneincluding Carrie) takes a massive step forward.

Yes, even Brett OKeefe has a heart.
So then…who sent OlegThe Americans Costa Ronin to take the photo?
Saul has an idea and pitches it while Keanes national security advisers brief her on the situation.
Could someone thousands of miles away have pulled the strings to sell a lie?
Keane and Wellington dont want to go there just yet.
That begins with a memorial service planned that night in Richmond and the rally thats supposed to follow.
Keane wants to keep the crowd in line, and ensure no further violence occurs.
As Wellington tells Saul, they need to handle one crisis at a time.
But Saul doesnt have to not in his mind, anyway.
Saul and Krupin take a walk, but Krupin doesnt tell Saul what he wants to hear.
(Homelandbingo players, like cross Plotline Blatantly Tied to Current Events off your board.)
), a creative thinker who came up with the Ukrainian ordeal.
But Krupin just scoffs: Its just one guy.
Could one manreallydestroy entire countries?
And so, Krupin concludes, Sometimes a domestic crisis is just a domestic crisis.
At least Keane doesnt reach a dead end while dealing withhercrisis.
Keane breathes a sigh of relief as Mary holds Jackies hand, and the memorial proceeds in peace.
Still, theres more work to be done.
She tells America that she was moved beyond words to see the women mourning together.
But something worse is brewing around D.C. and that takes us to Carrie this week.
Plus, its just nice to see Carrie back in control, even for just one night.
As with most missions for Carrie, things start out smoothly enough.
A few hours later, Simone finally exits the building, and the missions in motion.
Simone, tied up and distraught, admits to being paid to carry out McClendons murder.
After the bug goes live in the bag, the men cut Simone free and leave.
Unfortunately for Carrie, though, that bug stops functioning immediately.
That means roughly 45 minutes, as Wellington has to wait for Keane to wrap up her speech.
Pleased, Carrie and Dante praise each other for their good work.
Carries convinced, in the end, and orders her team to fall back.
The missions over, and though they failed, Dante tells her not to beat herself up.
He drops her off at her home, but Carries rattled.
How could two bugs crap out on one mission?
None of it is shared, and the conversation theyve recorded means nothing at all.
To which Carrie responds: What the f?!
Whos Simone really working for?
And could Sauls suspicions about Krupin be correct after all?
Now turn off the feed, Max; we dont need to seethatmuch of the chief of staff.
