The new hit show from Showtime is getting close to its first season finale, next Sunday 10PM. In this case with an episode called “The Vest”, in which Carrie has been hospitalized in the wake of the explosion that killed Al Zahrani in the heart of D.C. When Saul comes to retrieve her, he discovers her on a manic flight, postulating a mile a minute about Abu Nazir. Saul finds himself charged with looking after his damaged friend, and by applying his sense of order to Carrie’s chaotic theories, unearths what appears to be the heart of the terrorist mastermind’s plot. Meanwhile, Brody has taken his family to Gettysburg, to spend one last weekend with them before his congressional campaign begins — and before his fatal mission is to take place. He retrieves his weapon in this unlikeliest parts of smalltown America, but discovers something even more painfully ironic — that on the eve of his self-destruction, his family feels whole for the first time since his return.
As usual, I will only talk about the first fifteen minutes of the episode, and for the rest, you´ll have to watch it on Sunday on Showtime.
I might add, Homeland is probably the best new show this fall, and accordingly already got renewed for season two.
