Following on from the decision, against Carrie's orders, not to strike against Haissam Haqqani and this save Saul the team work to figure out how they might extract him. Carrie knows that Haqqani needs medication so starts investigating to find out what is wrong with him. She does not know that Pakistani Intelligence already know what medication she is on and have replaced it; this leaves her getting more and more irrational until she starts to hallucinate. Meanwhile Lockhart turns up in Islamabad intending to strong-arm the Pakistanis into getting Saul back in a way that forces the American ambassador to consider her position.
After some great episodes this one didn't feel quite as good this was partly down to Carrie's hallucination featuring Brody which felt like it was there as a 'treat for the fans' who I suspect were pleased that this once great character was no longer in the series on the bright side they hadn't come up with a convoluted reason for him to be alive! That said I thought Claire Danes' performance as Carrie as she lost her grip on reality was very good. Away from the activities in Islamabad I liked the interaction between Saul and his captor Haqqani; it was nice to have an antagonist who wasn't ranting like a madman. Overall even though I didn't think this was as good as previous episodes I still enjoyed it and continue to want to know what will happen.
