My title for the review of Homeland 8.11 - the penultimate episode in the series - almost sounds like something out of combination of Homeland and Killing Eve, which I'll also be watching later tonight, and reviewing here even later tonight or tomorrow. But it's not. It's pretty much the last thing Yevgeny says to Carrie - even if it isn't, it burns out anything he says after - as she receives her marching orders about what she needs to do get back the black (red) box, for the purpose of stopping a nuclear war.
Pretty high stakes. But I don't think Carrie will do it. In fact, I think there's no way she'll do it. So here are some possible ways out of this, for Carrie (because I don't think the series will end with a nuclear war):
- Saul kills himself, as a way doing what Yevgeny wants, but getting Carrie off the hook. Nah, I don't think this will happen, either. Saul won't do this, if only to protect his asset, not to mention that I don't think he's the suicidal type, for any reason, however noble.
- Yevgeny backs down. Don't think this will happen, either. He's shown himself to be ruthless, almost beyond belief.
- Saul figures out what's going on. He and the asset, with Carrie's help, figure out how to get the fight recorder back, despite Yevgeny's opposition. This seems to me to be the most likely. But I'm an incurable optimist.
Ok, enough about Savage. See you here after next week's series finale.
