I'm not entirely sure of what I'm supposed to feel about this episode after viewing it. On the one hand, it showed some really powerful moments, ones that were true to the characters on the show. On the other hand, there exists parts of the episode (and many of the storylines within it) that somehow defy logic. I made the comment to no one in particular that at times, it felt like the show was falling apart at the seams. That something like the death of Abu Nazir should be a big, public event where the CIA and FBI are too late to stop him from enacting his entire plan. Instead, he dies in an anonymous Virginia mill surrounded by armed agents.

This episode, to me, had two fantastic moments that were surrounded by a lot of creaky plot mechanics. This is a byproduct of what happens in the previous episode. Pieces of a chessboard being moved into place for the conclusion of this part of the story. In that way, the pieces somehow end up with an assassination of Vice President Walden, an event that comes very suddenly and really, without warning. It's based on knowledge about Brody and Carrie's relationship that Abu Nazir is counting on as leverage to use against Brody.

Living up to its stellar first season, and avoiding the dreaded sophomore slump, was already a heady challenge for “Homeland.” Sweeping the Drama Emmys one week before its return, becoming the first show both to beat out “Mad Men” and to top it by adding the acting awards to its series prize, just upped the ante. Most of the season is already in the can, but the premiere shows the accolades are deserved, as they don’t miss a beat resuming the story.
