Outline

Carrie convinces Qasim to stop the attack in the subway tunnel. Qasim confronts Bibi, who shoots Qasim. Carrie intervenes, shooting and killing Bibi, stopping the gas attack and saving the city of Berlin.

Carrie goes back to her house to rest, with Jonas later joining her. Saul gets information from Ivan on how Allison will be extracted from the country. Laura and Numan are both taken into custody by the BND. Jonas decides to break up with Carrie, unable to stand any more of her drama. Carrie goes back to the hospital to check on Quinn and ends up at the chapel to pray for him.

Astrid threatens Laura that the German government will cancel Numan’s asylum status unless she retracts her statements against the German government. At the hospital, Dar hands Carrie a letter from Quinn, as Carrie was named as Quinn’s beneficiary. Saul offers Carrie a new position at the CIA but she declines. The car carrying Allison to Russia is ambushed by Saul and several other CIA agents.

The agents unload hundreds of bullets, riddling the car killing the Russians, and Saul finds Allison dead in the trunk. After Quinn has spent several days in hospital in a coma with no signs of recovery, Carrie enters Quinn’s hospital room alone and barricades the door closed. She removes Quinn’s pulse monitor and places it on her own finger before turning off his respirator and life support machines.

The episode ends with Carrie seeing a burst of sunlight come through the window.
