Homeland Recap Season 6 Episode 9 Sock PuppetsHomeland delivered its strongest episode of season six to date last week with the paranoia fueled romp Alt. Truth. This weeks installment, Sock Puppets, falls on the other end of the quality spectrum thanks to plot developments that are too hokey to be believed. SPOILER ALERT Do not read if you have not seen the March 1. Homeland. Claire Danes performance in the opening sequence is the best thing that Sock Puppets, written by Chip Johannessen and Evan Wright and directed by Dan Attias, has to offer. Danes Carrie Mathison is meeting with a psychiatrist type, an evaluation that is necessary before she can schedule a supervised visit with her daughter, Franny, who was taken away by a New York City child welfare agency a few episodes back. The scene opens as if its an interrogation room, with Carrie shot from the shoulders up against a dismal gray background. Eventually the camera pulls back and we see her sitting in a classic shrink office setting, talking to a man with a salt and pepper beard about her intense relationships with both Frannys father and Peter Quinn.

Homeland Recap Season 4 Episode 10' title='Homeland Recap Season 4 Episode 10' />Its a remarkably candid moment for Carrie, especially with a stranger. Shes open about the fact that at first Frannys red hair was a painful reminder that her daughters father, Nicholas Brody, is gone in part because Carrie pushed him into a doomed mission in Iran. Its impossible to watch that scene and not think of the shocking moment from season four when Carrie was bathing infant Franny. After this, sad to say the episode goes downhill. Fast. Dar Adal pulls a double cross on the Iranian major general Majid Javadi who pulled a double cross on Carrie and Saul last week, making them look like fools in front of President elect Keane. Javadi thinks Adal is going to help him get a wad of cash and safe passage out of the United States so he can get lost somewhere now that hes been outed in his native land as a double agent. But Adals real plan is to deliver Javadi to his friends in Mossad who are in league with Adals effort to convince Keane that Iran is cheating on the nuclear agreement. Were expected to believe that as Javadi is being subdued by Mossad agents in his hotel suite, he has the time to take out his phone, ring up Carrie and shout about how he should have stuck with Carrie and Saul while the Mossad dudes stuff him in a laundry bin. Carrie quickly rings up Saul, who has the call tracked. Watch Locked Down Online Ibtimes. Carrie and Saul high tail it to Javadis hotel suite, where they miraculously find Javadis phone at the bottom of the laundry bin. The phone conveniently has more video evidence that Iran is not cheating on the deal and that Mossad and the CIA are in on the plot to make it look like Iran is violating the agreement. Somehow, the Mossad agents forgot to take Javadis phone when they were scooping up their prey. Going from bad to worse, we suddenly cut to Carrie and Saul standing stern faced in front of Keane, playing the video evidence for the President elect. This is the same woman who declared last week that she never should have listened to Carrie after Javadi pulled a fast one and lied about Irans nefarious parallel program in North Korea when Carrie and Saul thought he was going to tell her just the opposite. Keane had just met with Adal to offer a fist bump and a mea culpa for her doubts about the CIA and Irans ambition. She tells Adal the whole story of the Carrie Saul Javadi farce and Adal acts like its the first hes heard of it. Keane even invites him to suggest candidates for a tough on defense Secretary of State candidate. After all this, Keane barely blinks and now embraces Carrie and Sauls version of events. They also tell her about the Sekou bombing theory, that the delivery van bomb was planted to stir up renewed fears of terrorism to combat her agenda to toning down the post 91. Reversing course again, Keane declares Adal to be an obsequious little s and vows to shut down his extracurricular adventures. Meanwhile, Quinns mental state has deteriorated even further after last weeks shootout at the upstate New York cabin where he was stashed by Adal. We find him sitting next to dead Astrid, her body propped up on the couch with a blanket over her as if shes taking a nap. He waits until the local cops are literally busting through the door to hobble his way out to the car to get away. But not before dabbing his finger in Astrids bloody chest and wiping it on his lip. He heads back into the big city on a mission to confront Adal. When Quinn finds him, Adal sidesteps a bullet in his face by declaring his love for his protege. He gets pistol whipped instead, and then thanks to an ill conceived phone call to Burly Knit Cap guy who murdered Astrid Quinn lurches off to find him. Finally, Max the computer genius continues his support of Carrie and Sauls rogue mission by applying for a job at the black box data processing center where the dearly departed FBI Agent Ray Conlin visited before meeting his untimely death several episodes ago. Who comes out to grill Max on his resume and its gaps but the Diet Coke swilling Brett OKeefe, the conservative firebrand who prepped a fake news assault on President elect Keanes son that still has yet to surface. It turns out the vague menace at the center is a fake news farm a roomful of partisan Internet trolls clicking away at keyboards to maintain hundreds of fake online personas, aka sock puppets, to push a radical right political agenda. Max has all the keystroke skills to help them move the goods. Its a creepy place full of stone faced millennials and a Nurse Ratched type overseer. The second best scene of this episode is some vicious banter between Saul and Carrie on a park bench. Keane and her incoming head of the Justice Department have decided that the only way to bring Adal down is not by pursuing the mounting evidence of his treasonous campaign regarding Iran but for failure to disclose the big security breach from last season that hit the CIAs Berlin station. Of course, that would mean throwing career shade on Saul and his blindspot last season with Allison Carr Miranda Otto, who turned out to be a Russian double agent. Carrie has a Big Dilemma to tackle in the remaining three episodes of this season. Watch The Woman With A Broken Nose Youtube. Maybe you shouldnt have been fg a Russian mole, Carrie snaps as Saul laments the irreparable damage to his career if she goes on the record about Berlin. Nicholas Brody sure does cast a long shadow on this show. In the midst of their battling, Carrie gets the news that she can finally see Franny the following day at 3 p. It wouldnt be Homeland if some big, scary national security emergency doesnt come up in the next 2. Carrie from making this meeting. It will surely be a test of whether Carrie heeded the advice from the psychiatrist about how to think about her work life balance. As any parent whos ever rescheduled their lives, moved heaven and earth, and fought traffic with a stick to make it in time for the school concert or play or game or science fair or honors presentation knows all too well, sometimes the kid has to come first. Weak episodes of great shows are glaring in their shortcomings because the bar is so high. But nobody bats a thousand. Undoubtedly, Homeland will return to form by the time the curtain falls on season six.
