Carrie searches for clues to help her understand Dante, while Saul gets more than he bargained for.

Thats not to say that this entire seasons been off the rails.

What is this,Red Sparrow?

Because Carrie dragging her daughter out of her sisters house makesnosense.

Its a tantrum that feels like it comes out of nowhere.

If anything, shouldnt Maggie have been blowing up at Carrie instead of the other way around?

Dante says he cant remember, and Carrie cheekily responds that if theyhaddone it, he absolutely would.

Carrie now has access to Dantes place without the need for any task forces or late-night missions.

Plus, he makes excellent pancakes!

Franny thinks so, at least.

Dante has a similar plan.

(Do FBI agents really use LinkedIn?

I wonder how many connections he has.)

Carrie uncovers much more fruitful intel.

Audrey chalks it up to life not being fair, while Carrie now understands Dantes motive in targeting her.

Looking for answers, Carrie calls up Max, telling him exactly what shes learned about Dante.

Max, though, is careful with how he responds; after all, hes now being watched.

Saul watches Wellington closely as he tells him all of this.

He sees how shell-shocked Wellington is and accepts that he had no part in whatever Simones doing.

This is witness tampering, he tells Saul.

She doesnt win as easily later that day.

At a speech and photo op, Keane gets handed a letter from Wellington.

But on her way back to the White House, Keane cant stop examining Wellingtons word choice.

Because Carrie, after speaking with Audrey, returns to Dantes place, to his orbit.

He doesnt disclose that he was snooping, but of course, Carries already figured that part out.

What she didnt know, though, was that Dante also knows Carrie spoke with Audrey.

Carrie tries to cover her tracks, but Dante knows shes hiding something.

Because I think you are Carrie moans just as the agents crash through the door.

He just looks disappointed in his former pupil.

But Carries never one to shy away from a problem at least, any problems over national security.

Family problems, on the other hand…?

All Im saying is its timeHomelandgave Franny a break.
