Saul’s task force makes a bold move, while Carrie tries to win her daughter back.
I wassotempted to give this an A-, and then that final shot happened.
Am I bad for laughing out loud at seeing Carrie hallucinate gasp!

I mean, come on.
We got the point.
But fine, weve seen worse.
(ThisCarrie versus flyscene is still seared into my brain.)
Gromov may be a genius, but he cant fly.
Simone tells him to leave it theyve already won, havent they?
but Gromov doesnt like loose ends.
Thats not the way his handler, a stern-sounding man named Mirov, sees it.
And no, Dante still hasnt woken up.
Yet again, the fate of the U.S. rests in one mans hands.
Luckily, Dante pulls through.
He decides to help her after all, and ends up telling her almost everything she needs to know.
All they have to do is launch it and track who on Twitter responds to confirm receipt.
Keane thinks it over, clearly frustrated to once again have to make a call between two evils.
In other words, hell be a Useful Leader.
(I mean, Darwin loves Bitcoin?
What is this, cultural relevance bingo?)
Sandy, though, rightly points out that this is a huge risk.
What if Dante fed them a flare instead of true intel?
What if Dante figured out that hed been poisoned not by the Russians, but bythem?
Carrie says not to worry Dante has no idea.
Hey, its not like anyone has a better idea.
This isGromovs failed connection,hismisplaced shutdown protocol.
After all, the results are pouring in back at Sauls headquarters.
A personal wealthy manager named Paul Wyler, living in Connecticut, sends the response code.
Saul immediately puts in the call to send feds to Wyler in Greenwich.
Carrie, pleased with how everythings progressing, decides to fix her conflict with Maggie.
And so, Carrie does what she does best: She runs away.
So in other words, Gromov really has gone rogue.
Clayton reports that there are guards everywhere checking ID, but Gromov has a plan.
Youll be fine, Gromov growls.
Were going to the hospital.
He drags Clayton in, registers him to the ER, then swipes an ID off of a nurse.
Dante stirs as Gromov comfortably seats himself next to the bed.
When he sees Gromov, he tries to press his alarm.
You tried to kill me, Dante says.
Who was holding you?
So she tells you we sent someone in to poison you, and youbelievedher.
He scoffs, then reminds Dante that they wouldnt hurt him; no, Gromovs M.O.
is to protect the people working for him.
(Tell that to Clayton.)
But Dante doesnt seem 100 percent convinced.
Just then, though, shes at Frannys school, about to take Franny away.
He calls again after she declines, and she finally picks up.
Did you poison me?
The lawyer, was it one of yours?
Carrie goes into histrionic mode to cover herself.
Are you out of yourfingmind?!
she responds loudly, within earshot of both Franny and the principal.
Realizing its an emergency, Carrie once again leaves Franny behind but this time, Franny runs after her.
(I dont know about you, but I couldnotlook at my screen during this scene.
Poor, poor Franny.)
Its a powerful montage: We see glimpses of Brodys hanging, Aayans death, and Quinns sacrifice.
We follow her as she numbly walks toward Dantes room and sees that hes flatlined.
Carrie tries to force the image away, but it stays.
And in the end, Not Carrie angrily addresses her.
What did you do?
And all Carrie can do is scream.
Still its just a few seconds of Too Much.
