Or else, why keep on insisting in wasting the viewers time with the "child problem"? This is supposed to be a story about a top notch CIA-operative and international relations. Nobody cares about the kid, nobody cares if Carrie has problems with her annoying sister, because it slows down the pace in the main story!
In this episode, at last, the kid leaves the scene! (custody goes to the sister). But why so late, only two episodes left for the hard stuff, the real story.
Generally, this series is much better when evolving outside the US, both the Pakistan and Berlin seasons were terrific. The reason seems to be that when in the US, the writers are on their home turf and simply have to make a mixture of "everyday life" and being an agent. Imagine, people have common and simple lives themselves and knows all about these problems already. Intelligence agencys, however, is a bit more interesting.
Please locate season 8 in Switzerland or Norway. (hint: Geneva is in Switzerland and Norway has a border to Russia)
