“Before you dig that hole any deeper,” said Saul with a glint in his eye, “I have to show you something.” He produced the flash disk, and told her she deserved to see its contents before anyone else did.

I could be over-thinking things, I grant you, but Homeland has also proven adept at revisiting dangling plot strands that seem relatively inconsequential at the time - it was done masterfully in this very episode, in fact.īecause salvation did arrive, right on Carrie’s doorstop, in the form of Saul, bearing flash disks and glad tidings of validation. If it’s the latter, then the CIA would have the freedom to pursue Brody with at least a decent window before their new target learned his cover’s been blown. This isn’t an idle curiosity: If it’s the former, then by the time Saul’s plane had landed, Hezbollah would’ve almost certainly learned that the CIA knows about Brody (and would likely have learned about Brody themselves). It’s unclear if both disks held Brody’s confession and Saul was betting any inspectors would be satisfied with finding one and not search for the other - or if the first one was an obvious decoy and always meant to be discovered. Just when Saul’s Jedi Master powers seemed in doubt, however, on the plane he pulled a second flash disk from what appeared to be a separate secret compartment on the case.
