Well, well, well. Sunday night is easily the craziest night for high quality television, but the only show I’ve been truly waiting for with bated breath is Showtime’s Homeland.

With this episode we move into the third act of the season’s best new show and go flashback heavy into Brody’s (Damian Lewis) time in captivity. Meanwhile Carrie (Claire Danes) flirts with a career in conflict management as she attempts to diffuse tensions in the wake of last week’s mosque attack.
