Spoiler alert! This story contains **major** details from the series finale of Homeland
That bond frayed at times, as Carrie broke every rule in the book twice, but never has it been as endangered as it was going into
With a 48-hour deadline, Saul and Carrie are separately trying to prevent a war based on the incorrect assumption that the Taliban shot down the president's helicopter.Claire Danes takes Carrie Mathison on last 'Homeland' mission: 'She's kind of a superhero' Saul explains that the black-box recording proves the crash was an accident, but Zabel won't buy it without evidence. Saul argues against going to war based on wrong information, explicitly laying out the show's intriguing parallel to the 2003 Iraq War, which was predicated on weapons of mass destruction that were never found.
When Carrie persists, Saul orders her out of his house, but she pulls the poison stunt. This is where the episode really starts going off the rails, a sad note for a thoughtful series that frequently foreshadowed real-world crises. Everything starts to feel rushed, which is a shame for a season that was set up so well.
Maybe Carrie should have kept Saul under tighter wraps. After the poison wears off, he calls colleague Scott Ryan, instructing him to take translator Anna into custody at the U.N. before the Russians can grab her. In an epilogue, the action shifts two years into the future. Carrie and Yevgeny are dressing up for a night on the town in a tony Moscow apartment. Yevgeny gives her a necklace and congratulates her for"doing a very important thing." Another room features a picture of Franny and the walls and windows are covered with photocopies and Post-It notes, a nod to the evidence walls Carrie built early in the show's run.
