Just about everything got worse for just about everyone in Homeland 8.7, another excellent episode in this concluding season.
Max is still alive, so in that sense things at least did not get much worse for him. But he's in critical condition, and still in Taliban hands. The fact that Jalal Haqqani seems to be in charge is probably a good thing, since, at very least, he can be reasoned with. But this still doesn't leave Carrie much room. Fortunately, Yevgeny is there to stop her from, in effect, throwing away her life in a futile attempt to rescue Max. But it looks like Carrie and Yevgeny will not be enough to spring Max on their own.
Saul is not doing too well, either. His attempt to get the judge to delay Haissam Haqqani's trial by a week flops when the judge is replaced at the last minute. Back in Washington, Saul's attempt to get the Chief of Staff to get the new U. S. President to intercede on Haissam Haqqani's behalf also fails, and the President is being pressured to do nothing to help Haqqani.
While all of this is swirling around, the big question still remains of who set up the two Presidents to be assassinated? Someone in Afghanistan or the United States? I'm thinking G'ulom, now in Washington also pressuring the U. S. President to let Haqqani be executed, is too obvious a choice. It would more consistent with the Homeland brand that the dual assassinations were plotted out by someone in the United States.
The final season of Homeland could have been searingly relevant to our current events. As it is, it makes a good diversion from this our age of the Coronavirus pandemic.
