Did you get that?

You got that, right?

Shes scared, she explains, and more paranoid than ever of Franny seeing her in a locked ward.

The woman is named Simone, and shes been romantically involved with Wellington since meeting him four years ago.

How does he know?

Because he found a parking ticket placing her just three miles away that day.

Carries skeptical, but she cant resist a connection like this one.

If only it had ended there.

Instead, when Simone leaves her apartment, Carrie decides to ditch Dante and poke around Simones home.

Its the law, Carrie.

Hours later, Carries finally told she can leave.

Dante, for his part, asks if she wants to sit for a minute.

Hmm, maybe Im getting ahead of myself.

After all, Sauls story this episode is far more interesting to talk about.

Whats nuts is how trigger happy everyone is.

Agent Maslin does the same, as the FBI draws their weapons just to make a show of force.

Shes just as stubborn inside the Situation Room: When a general (played by Fredric Lehne, a.k.a.

What makes you think Ive changed my position?

she asks, before he concedes.

Brett, meanwhile, seems a little more flexible, influenced by the thinking of those around him.

Here,Homelanddramatizes our national discourse, but only to an extent.

Because then again,Homelanddoesnt and cant offer any answers.)

But more importantly, he wants a televised trial, a.k.a.

an opportunity for him to espouse his opinions to the nation for as long as he needs in court.

And from inside the house, Brett simply watches as Saul talks to Keane over the phone.

They all draw their guns, just as Bretts reinforcements arrive.

That night, he watches as the area turns into a tiny war zone.

And what better story would there be than an American offensive against a convoy in Syria?

Yeah, the logics shaky, but Wellingtons convinced it would work.

Its a twist that will likely have massive repercussions, but its just so…unbelievable.

Is the entire White House so incompetent something like this could happen?

Shouldnt a decision like this require more phone calls, more approvals, more hoops to jump through?

And what does Wellingtonreallywant with this strike?

(It cant be to drive better headlines.

Im hoping next week changes that.
