Outline

Carrie arrives at the refugee camp near the Lebanese/Syrian border and discusses security for Otto with Waleed, another Hezbollah commander. Back in Berlin, Laura Sutton, an American journalist working for the Düring Foundation, reveals in a TV interview she is in possession of leaked classified CIA documents (sent to her by Numan and Korzenik); she gets picked up by the BND.

Carrie and her team avert an assassination attempt on Otto after his speech in the refugee camp. Meanwhile, Allison Carr, the current CIA station chief in Berlin, demands for Saul to be relieved in retaliation for the leak instead of her. With Otto safe, Carrie decides to stay in Lebanon to find out who tried to kill Otto.

She finds one of Waleed’s men in her hotel room; he tells her that she was the real target of the assassination attempt, not Otto. Elsewhere, Quinn kills Fatima, a female terrorist recruiting young women in Berlin for the Islamic State, and finds out who his next target is: Carrie Mathison.
