With so much having been drawn out this season, "Two Hats" felt like a whirlwind of sudden plot development, many bits of which sprung up from virtually nowhere. After being a little bit of a robotic weirdo through most of the season so far, Quinn got his own profile, more or less, in "Two Hats." Virgil and Max escalated their investigation of him (I seem to have a shadow of remembrance of Saul asking them to do this, but I could have imagined it), and uncovered his strange Spartan existence and a single personal item: a photograph of a woman and baby in a copy of Great Expectations. The pacing was so sudden and swift yet the anticipation wasn't exceptionally high by Homeland standards - still, it gave us action and some satisfaction (capturing Roya and stopping the bomb, if not getting to Nazir) and opened up plenty of possibilities for the weeks to come, something the show is great at doing.īut speaking of swift and sudden action, anyone who had suspicions about Quinn surely felt justified. Nazir will have to know Brody sold him out … right? And without Roya as a go-between what could happen next? These developments were great. In any case, the fallout from this is sure to be immense. He may want to bring the fight the enemy, as he says, but he's not going to sit in a van outside of a fast food restaurant while bombs are being transferred in plain view. Speaking of that, did Carrie really think Nazir would be there when all of that went down? He's far to clever and cautious for that. Things happened very quickly from then on out, and Brody played his part as frighteningly well as he usually does (barring the occasional breakdown), helping the CIA put the pieces into place for the capture of Roya and her TV crew / bomb squad. It seems that Brody was very honest with his former captor / religious mentor, and in turn was fairly honest with the CIA (leaving out the bit about his conversion to Islam, which is interesting for a number of reasons both within the story world and as a larger commentary). It's a great device that the show hasn't used in awhile to call Brody's remembrances into question, and to show what he's lying about (or more likely omitting). The most linear related to Brody's chat with Nazir, shown in part in flashback. ![]() Last week's capture of Brody, and his being delivered to Abu Nazir, shot off plot bullets everywhere.
