Story
The man Sol ( Mandy Patinkin ) secretly agreed to meet is the IRGC General Majid Javadi ( Sean Tobe ). Sol asks Javadi to use his resources to investigate Nafisi and his possible relationship with North Korea. The next day, when Sol is preparing to return to the United States, he is picked up by Israeli ambassador Etay Luskin ( Allan Kordyuner ). Etai received a message that a senior Iranian official crossed the border in the West Bank, where, as you know, Sol was located. Wanting to get more information, Eta detains Sol.
Sekou ( J. Mallory McCree ) is greeted by a surprise party on his return home. His friends, suspicious of being released so quickly, ask him questions about whether he became an informant. In response, Seku publishes a new video on the Internet in which he reveals the true identity of the FBI informant Saad Masoud. Carrie ( Claire Danes ) immediately goes to Seku and begs him to remove the video, as this will definitely cancel the deal she made to free Seka. Ultimately, Carrie convinces Seka after she hinted at some very risky measures taken by her to secure the deal.
Quinn ( Rupert Friend ) continues to monitor the neighbor across the road, he even gets into the man’s apartment while he is outside. He finds a room that would seem intended for observation, which leads him to believe that this man is spying on Carrie. When a man is picked up by a car in the middle of the night, Quinn follows him in Carrie's car. Quinn watches and photographs a man when he is dropped off at Medina Medley, Seku's workplace.
Listening to Carrie's advice, Keen ( Elizabeth Marvel ) decided not to take immediate action against Iran. Newspapers pick up a story about how Keen has information about Iran’s nuclear program and does not respond. Keen lashes out at Dara ( F. Murray Abraham ), whom she accuses of falsifying the story. Kin then asks Carrie to reveal any inner knowledge about the Gift that they could use as a lever against him, but Carrie is restrained, not wanting to betray trust to such an extent. Dar confronts Carrie on the street, telling her to stop giving Keane “bad advice,” since Carrie is now outside the agency and she no longer has relevant information about the cases about which she gives advice.
Seku, returning to work, hears a beeping signal at the back of the van while he is driving through New York. The van explodes. Etai tells Saul: “You need to go home. An attack occurred in New York. ”
