All season long I had been suspecting the young female CIA officer Jenna Bragg but after last night's episode I am thinking I was wrong.

Yevgeny wanted Carrie to identify the Russian asset to get the black box. What if Carries agrees to a simultaneous swap but at the last second Carrie kills the asset----saves her from torture and they have the black box.

But why do they need the black box anyway if Haqqani Jr. was blown up---shouldn't that end the war threat with Pakistan?

Nah, he would be just another martyr.

They need to show that he was not credible.

And obviously, the strike was in the middle of nowhere with no casualties, similar to the actual recent one in supposed retaliation for the US taking out that high ranking General at the airport (real life, LOL)

Here's my outlandish prediction


(SPOILERS)



- Jalal does not die in the strike but uses it as fuel to flame the nuclear war between Pakistan and the US. Add in bandages on his face and body for dramatic effect as he saws someone's head off

- Carrie confronts Saul with a cry face but they ultimately work a plan out where Saul lives out the rest of his years in Israel with the estranged wife

- Yevgeny's feelings for Carrie finally do him in and he agrees to a deal that gets him what he wants but doesn't work out in the end as Carrie attempts to sacrifice herself to save the asset and Saul. Jenna Bragg shows up to get Carrie to safety at the last possible moment.

- David Wellington suicides Zabel (Wishful Thinking)

- The President finally has a nervous breakdown and uses racial slurs on TV

- The Americans finally get the black box but Russia has pulled a bait and switch and there is no data on it. Maybe it's 10 hours of Rick Astley.

- Nuclear war starts

- Carrie somehow survives until the end of the episode and is chasing a lead to get to Yevgeny in Moscow before time runs out

- Carrie finally thinks she has him and calmly walks into the Kremlin to find that Saul has been captured and tortured

- Jenna Bragg is a double agent and Moscow's plan B and kills Carrie as the credits roll and someone pushes a big red button to send a nuke.

Bonus prediction: Saul is wearing flannel and has worked out a deal with Moscow to be a lumberjack in the end. (This is Showtime, remember)

Bonus prediction 2: The source in Russia is not the lady but is actually Yevgeny who was a student who survived in the 80's.

This is what I keep asking myself. Why is Carrie willing to go to such extreme measures to reveal what's said on the blackbox. It changes absolutely nothing for all parties involved.

1. Jalal deserves a drone to the dome (which I hope he got).
2. We flexed our muscle and took out the terrorist organization that car bombed our men.
3. Pakistan relations are repaired.


Not to mention, a Taliban rocket launcher did take down the 2nd helicopter escorting the President. I feel like everyone on the show has overlooked this very important fact. And we know damn well they would have taken down the President's helicopter as well if given the opportunity.
