Enjoyable episode. Thank god the Dana drama is over.
So just who is the Iranian head honcho who nabbed Carie?

He entered the country from Canada at a small border crossing in Vermont under a false identity and immediately changed cars. I guess the only way the CIA could know is if a camera caught his face at the border crossing and facial recognition ID'd him. I did not see any cameras that would have gotten a good view of his face, though.wouldn't the CIA be alerted that he's in the country?
Well, all Carrie has to do is act all crazy and paranoid and freaking out.This whole setup "play" really annoyed me. So we are to believe Carrie is as good an actress as Claire Danes? Don't think so.
But that's the point -- he's NOT one of the most wanted people in the world. To everyone else, he's just a rich owner of a soccer team. Nobody (in the US,except Saul, Carrie, Quinn, and the analyst) knows he's actually the financier of terrorism out of Iran and responsible for the attack at Langley.Is this going to be another season where one of the most wanted people in the world is going to travel around the Washington DC area unnoticed or undetected?
Who says it's over? What if emo kid stalks Dana?Enjoyable episode. Thank god the Dana drama is over.
If by "emo kid" you mean her crazy bf who had escaped the mental institution, I think that we can assume that he was arrested when Dana turned herself in to the responding officer.Who says it's over? What if emo kid stalks Dana?
Sure, and he'll get out in 3,2,1.If by "emo kid" you mean her crazy bf who had escaped the mental institution, I think that we can assume that he was arrested when Dana turned herself in to the responding officer.
I'd guess not. When they switched from watching her to planning to kidnap her, the regular surveillance was withdrawn and the kidnappers kept themselves hidden pretty well.Do you think Carrie was made?
The way I see it, she (Carrie) didn't have to do a whole lot of acting. All she really had to do was be herself, right up until she met with Nancy Botwin's second husband. That meeting was the only point at which she had to act against her real self, and by that point they (the bad guys) had pretty much already bought into her cover.This whole setup "play" really annoyed me.

Although if her duplicity (triplicity?) was not suspected before, it certainly is after the lie detector test.
My mistake. Fixed.Spoiler tag?
Done.My mistake. Fixed.
I'm not sure why you quoted me in the clear and then spoilerized your comment. You need to remove my quote or spoilerize it.
There are two ways that I know of to beat a lie detector test. One is to be unusually calm and controlled. I doubt Carrie could manage that. The second is to cause yourself physical distress, like having a tack in your shoe and pressing your foot down on it. Carrie would have a hard time with that, since they strip searched her. Maybe she could dig her fingernails into her skin but that might be noticed.That said, assuming that Carrie is given a lie detector test, she would probably be able to beat it. I'm sure most (all?) spies are taught how to beat them. Further, her "crazy" would throw off the readings anyway.
If you're in a constant state of freaking out, wouldn't that do it?There are two ways that I know of to beat a lie detector test. One is to be unusually calm and controlled.

Carrie would have a hard time with that, since they strip searched her. Maybe she could dig her fingernails into her skin but that might be noticed.
Since the CIA gave lie detector tests to its own agents (Saul, Carrie, etc.) in a previous episode, clearly they do not think they are capable of completely beating a lie detector.
I thought the surveillance that was Quinn watching and the guy Quinn stalled was the FBI surveillance, not the Iranians. That's why the "You look good after Yoga" comment from the Iranian was supposed to be a shocker.I'd guess not.

Nah.Although if her duplicity (triplicity?) was not suspected before, it certainly isafter the lie detector test.
She's appearing shocked not to let the Iranians know she was on to them watching her.I thought the surveillance that was Quinn watching and the guy Quinn stalled was the FBI surveillance, not the Iranians.
