Spoiler: The season ended with Carrie removing her friend and would-be lover’s pulse monitor, seemingly leaving him to die from the effects of the sarin gas in his system.
Season 5 of Homeland was another rebirth of the Showtime series, taking Carrie out of the CIA and putting her in Berlin for reality-reflecting storylines.
Quinn is alive, as revealed months back, but showrunner Alex Gansa says that isn’t how the scene was supposed to go.
Not that the show excised the other fan favorite regulars, and we got to watch Rupert Friend’s Peter Quill putting his ass on the line more than ever before.
