Outline

Carrie (Claire Danes) breaks the news to Sekou (J. Mallory McCree) that the plea offer was revoked, due to Carrie’s having conferred with Saad. Carrie reaches out to Roger (Ian Kahn), an ex-contact of hers, and asks him to obtain a recording of a particular phone conversation between Saad and Conlin (Dominic Fumusa). The recording confirms that Conlin was trying to entrap the innocent Sekou. Carrie goes to Conlin with the evidence, threatening to send it to the attorney general unless Conlin drops all charges against Sekou.

Saul (Mandy Patinkin) arrives in Abu Dhabi to interrogate Farhad Nafisi (Bernard White). Saul confronts Nafisi with financial records obtained from his phone showing a large transfer of funds from a covert account. Nafisi denies any involvement with North Korea, making a convincing case that during his recent travels, he was merely buying Russian anti-aircraft equipment. Saul is convinced Nafisi is lying, deducing that there is no reason for Nafisi to utilise a covert account to make a legal purchase of anti-aircraft guns, but gets nothing actionable from the interrogation; he reports this to Dar (F. Murray Abraham). However, Dar tells President-elect Keane (Elizabeth Marvel) during a briefing that Saul was able to confirm Iran’s parallel nuclear program, calling the evidence “conclusive.” Carrie meets Keane later and is immediately sceptical of Dar’s report. As they speak, Dar is shown to be listening to a live feed of their conversation. Saul leaves Abu Dhabi and travels to The West Bank to meet his sister, whilst there he also arranges a rendezvous and is picked up by someone at night, though it’s not clear by whom.

Quinn (Rupert Friend) grows increasingly paranoid that someone is invading Carrie’s apartment. He contacts Clarice (Mickey O’Hagan) so she can lead him to Tommy (Bobby Moreno), the man who mugged Quinn. Quinn assaults Tommy and takes his gun, calling it payback for the money stolen from him. Now armed, Quinn lurks outside of Carrie’s apartment with his gun drawn.
