The second half of this season has an addictive, serialized storytelling technique, the same technique that made season 2 as great as it was. "There's Something Else Going On" sprouts with creativity and specializes in suspense, pressure, and tension. Claire Danes roars in the first half when she confronts and interrogates the man who switched Carrie's medication, causing her to spiral into a horrifying hallucination. The majority of the second half of "There's Something Going On" (or most of what you will remember from this episode) is the terrific prisoner exchange sequence. The gleaming camera work, the tender emotion found between Saul and Carrie, and quiet build-up make the extracting of Saul significant. The ending was exciting, though I knew once Saul was in the hands of the CIA that a twist would be coming, and sure enough, now we have the last bit of story to finish off the greatly improved season four.
