Carrie misses Jonas. Quinn is taken prisoner. With Numan's help Carrie eventually realizes what Alison is.

Trivia

The actress who plays Tova, Hadar Ratzon Rotem, also plays in the original Israeli TV series that Homeland (2011) is based on, Prisoners of War (2009). Slightly ironically, she plays the role of an Arab, Leila Qasab.

Goofs

A caption says "Kosovo, 70 miles from the Serbian border". While technically possible, there are very few places in Kosovo that are 70 miles from the Serbian border. Also, as they have been driving south towards Turkey, if they would even cross into Kosovo at all, they would already have passed through or by Serbia and it would be more logical if the caption would read "Kosovo, 5 miles from the Macedonian border" or something.
