A lot rides on this Sunday’s new Homeland season 3 episode for Saul, Brody, and Carrie. In two clips from episode 10, we see Brody preparing himself, and Carrie facing a reality.

In what is probably a clip from early in the storyline, Brody is seen in Iran praying by himself in the morning before he and his team go to confront Javadi’s boss who he must kill. By murdering the man, Javadi will become one of the three most important people in Iran – and he’ll be working for Saul. The master plan will be a humungous win for the CIA director, and his position will be safe from Senator Lockhart’s hands.

In another clip, Quinn confronts Carrie about her pregnancy and, interestingly, she denies that it’s Brody’s baby. Is she lying so she can remain objective while being involved with Saul’s master plan? Or is the father the red head lookalike? We have to assume it’s Brody’s baby considering how invested she is in keeping him alive. New Homeland season 3,episode 10 intense spoilers & clips hit the net. Last night, Showtime served up the new spoilers and sneak peek,clip (below) for their upcoming "Homeland" episode 10 of season 3. The episode is entitled, "Good Night," and it appears to be mega intense and dramatic as Carrie screams in terror as Brody faces crazy danger, and more. In the new "Good Night" episode, Brody will embark on a mission with high stakes. Quinn will end up, making a discovery about Carrie. Fara is going to have to rejoin the team. In the new clip, Brody is seen, trying to carry out a very dangerous-looking mission that seems to have gone very wrong. And at the end, we see Carrie, yelling, Brody!! So, yeah. I's not looking to great for him at all. Episode 10 is due to air on Sunday night,December 1st at 9pm on Showtime. »

After sputtering, stalling, and sometimes all together stopping, we thought that Homeland was finally picking up speed on its way to the finale. Not quite. On last night’s episode “One Last Time” we’re once again in build-to-big-finish mode. The show greets us with Carrie Mathison in the hospital post-Quinn shooting her last week, leaving us with the question: is there no other way to stop a person walking toward someplace they shouldn’t be? Carrie seems to agree with Quinn’s course of action; when the doctor says that she’s lucky the wound wasn’t worse, she responds, “No, he’s just a great shot,” with a look on her face that suggests she doesn’t entirely disagree with Quinn’s well-placed bullet.

The most important part of this scene though is the revelation that Carrie is 13 weeks pregnant and that the baby is OK. Usually, a pregnant woman who has just been shot would be concerned with the status of her baby, but not Carrie. Before he leaves the room, the doctor, almost as an afterthought, says, “The baby should be fine. In case, you’re wondering,” making a face that says why-haven’t-you-asked-me-how-your-unborn-baby-is-doing and Carrie making a typical Carrie-face that’s equal parts confusion, consternation, and crazy. (Carrie-face could be a great Halloween mask for those anxious about planning Halloween 2014, just a heads up).

Back to Brody we go, finding him in CIA hands and suffering from a really bad case of withdrawal. In this otherwise emotionally comatose episode, Damian Lewis plays junkie with a heart of gold brilliantly, lending all the sweats and shakes of withdrawal the gravity they deserve. We learn that the CIA needs Brody for one final mission, and Saul doesn’t give Brody much of an option. He visits him saying, “You will do this one last thing.” This means, though, that Brody needs to get clean and in shape faster than normal drug recovery allows. No problem! There’s a physically crippling, hallucination-stirring drug “based on a Nigerian plant” that will really suck for Brody but that will get him back to fighting shape in the few days they have left. Perfect. Brody, of course, does hallucinate and tries to kill himself before being restrained.

This season, as we pointed out before, really is all about Saul. (God, “Saul” reminds us so much of Breaking Bad.) When he learns that Lockhart was the one who had Alan Bernard bug his home computer, Saul storms into his office with an ominous manila envelope (if anyone ever approaches you with an unmarked manila envelope, walk the other way). Inside there are pictures that prove that Lockhart knew Bernard and that he really can’t lie himself out of this one, and Saul, once again, gets what he wants: more time.

The episode’s big deal moment, however, was so underplayed that we wonder if we missed something. Maybe we’re just not in the mood for nuance, but shouldn’t Carrie and Brody’s reunion have been played up a little more? Instead we get Carrie sitting by Brody’s side at the Virginia facility where he’s recovering with Brody slowly turning around when he senses that someone is in the room with him. We do have to give it to Damian Lewis, though, for conjuring a range of facial contortions that revealed that he might have had some inkling as to the Carrie-face (yes, we’re trying to make Carrie-face happen) that would greet him if he just turned around.

So, Carrie and Brody are reunited. Brody is obviously pissed because every time Carrie comes around things get really weird (and dangerous) for him, and Carrie, to assuage his apprehension, does what any good lover and friend would do: she takes Brody to the middle of nowhere motel where Dana now lives and works. That’s shock enough for Brody who agrees to help the CIA with their mission as some sort of “chance at redemption.” What followed was a completely unnecessary sequence tracking Brody’s progression from out-of-shape junkie formerly trapped in Venezuela to fighting machine who, with some tough love and group running, can get back to operational level.

In this episode, where every natural process was inexplicably hastened (is there anyone in charge of pacing at Showtime? There should be someone JUST in charge of pacing at Showtime), Carrie and Brody go from former lovers with a troubled past to flirting mindlessly about Carrie smoking a cigarette. Cool. Brody just wants to see Dana though, so Carrie takes him back to the motel. Dana, in an uncharacteristically normal move, is angry that Brody feels he can just walk back into her life, and she refuses him the warm welcome back he feels he deserves.

The last minutes are a profusion of platitudes. None so silly as the line that Carrie ends the episode with: “See you on the other side.” Here’s to hoping that “One Last Time” was a reference to this being the last slow Homeland episode of this season.

od, but Carrie looked extra beautiful this week, didn’t she? Is that Claire Danes, or Carrie? Something in the hair. Is this the hair and makeup department having fun with us? Beginning to show off Carrie’s pregnancy glow?

It’s real now, the pregnancy. Quinn has talked about it, she’s acknowledged it. It’s for real. And, since she made a lame point of saying it wasn’t Brody’s, those of you who thought there was a chance that was the case now know there isn’t. That baby is a ginger, guaranteed.

This episode was not what I signed up for when I got involved with Homeland. There’s intelligence work happening, yes, but it was military ops and, in large part, there was nothing any of our characters could do. They were reacting to things rather than actually planning things or making things happen. It’s not the show based on Carrie and Saul’s brilliance that we started out with, but it is what it is. So we cope.

What does happen, on the other hand, is that magically-fixed Brody gets to be the hero, and so we, like Carrie, fall in love with him again. Sort of. That is, was it brave to make a break for it and head for the Iran border? Sure. Did he endanger everyone else around him? Unquestionably. Is he looking for redemption that he’s not really entitled to? Sure, again.

Is it utterly preposterous that a tortured man with PTSD could recover from being a beaten-and-abused heroin addict in time to pull off this mission? Yes, indeed it is. And that’s before we get into some of the other preposterousnesses in this episode, like the weird animated laser-coloured shots coming at Brody and the others when they’re being attacked.

So instead, this episode becomes about Carrie and what she feels and believes about Brody. The whole episode plays out on her face. It’s a one-act play in itself. She hopes he can hold it together, and it’s Christmas come early for her when he not only does, but turns it around from a potential disaster to come through and seem like he alone saves the day (not to mention Saul’s plan). But so what? So he’s momentarily done something good – what does Brody have to live for? What’s motivating him to keep going? The previouslies want us to believe that it’s Carrie – hell, his “you’ll get me out of here” wants us to believe that it’s Carrie, but I never thought the love was that overwhelming, on his part. That it superseded everything else, especially being forced into a military operation in Iran.

But then again, maybe being in these situations changes your perspective. As Brody’s colleague says balefully, “You’ve been tortured. Tell me what to expect.” We’ve seen Brody fully expect to lose his life onscreen countless times. Maybe after all those bullets dodged, you start to find it pretty easy to love love, or the idea of love. Maybe Brody thinks he and Carrie could really be happy. After all, we know Carrie thinks so, and that’s half the battle, right? It’s also great that he just assumes she’s back in. Everyone knows Carrie’s always right back in where Brody is concerned.

Which is why Javadi coming in and so casually, brutally disposing of Brody’s colleague felt so awful, even if it was maybe actually merciful. He doesn’t have to go through the torture he was worried about. He doesn’t have to face whatever waits in Tehran. It’s cold comfort farm, but it’s what we have.

I don’t know. I saw someone, somewhere, describe this episode as the best yet. It didn’t do it for me, since the constant attacks and thrills felt paint-by-numbers and utterly un-affectable by any of our characters. Am I wrong? I know you’ll let me know.

So now, the question is this. I wasn't interested in following Brody's journey any longer - the multiple dispatches have actually felt like a tease - but here we are. So in Tehran, what will happen? Does he freak out? Does he turn, again, to the other side? For that matter, is Javadi as thoroughly Saul's as we think he is? Smart money says "are you f-cking kidding?"

There are three episodes left in the season, so what kind of message are they going to send? To me Brody has always been a tragic figure, so will he sacrifice himself and become the ultimate Romeo to Carrie's twisted Juliet? Or are we supposed to believe he can come home and these two crazy kids can try again? Do we have to watch if that's the case?

Also, I hope Rupert Friend is collecting a giant paycheck because it’s not like he’s getting a lot of material for his acting reel.
