The documents lead Carrie away from Berlin, while Allison races to cover her tracks.
As Krupin points out to Allison, she may hate the risks, but shelovesbeing a double agent.
Krupin, as usual, thinks shes overreacting and jumping to conclusions.

To do this, Allison has to get close enough to Saul without raising suspicion from Dar Adal.
Dar doesnt believe a word of it, though, and is too preoccupied with insulting Saul to care.
Hes being completely uncooperative, he says, watching a detained Saul on the monitor.
Its all too stupid and theatrical for words.
Dar reluctantly allows it.
Sauls already furious at Dar, and hes ready to burst.
At this, Allison looks like shes about to vomit, and Saul notices.
Alone in the bathroom, Allison crouches, presses her forehead, and breaks down.
Eventually, she composes herself and quickly makes her way to Krupin to report her findings.
Krupin is surprised Carrie is alive, but again, hes nottooworried, a reaction that sets Allison off.
Will you stop underestimating her?
she shouts at him.
I dont care how fing brilliant she is, Krupin dismisses.
Shes not a magician.
Allison isnt comforted by this comparison.
(Krupin is a master at colorful language, isnt he?)
She sets up shop in Ottos house and is reading through the documents when Otto enters to offer coffee.
Im half-hoping I dont find anything at all, Carrie says.
Then this can all still be a mistake, some big misunderstanding.
He listens as she talks about breaking up with Jonas and then reminds her that shes not like Jonas.
Grounded, Earth-bound people like him wouldnt be able to and wouldnt want to pursue the risks shes pursuing.
An asset named Touchstone had activated an emergency signal and requested a meeting with Oriole.
But after the woman hangs up on her, Carrie again seeks help from Otto.
But she cant succeed on that front because everythings still going on around her.
He calls her Oriole and,aha, thats when the pieces fall into place.
Hes the asset who had requested the meeting, and he chides her for never getting in touch.
Orioles on the shelf, she says sadly.
Oriole had flown the coop.
Well, Orioles now back, and Touchstone has intel.
Samir had spotted the man five months ago in the street, and hes sure it was him.
The news distresses Carrie, and she enlists the help of Laura Sutton to track Ahmed down.
Laura conveniently brings along Numan, who finally learns of Korzies death from Carrie.
Carrie grows exasperated, promising Laura they can talk about it with Otto later.
And so Carrie bolts and begins to drive back to Berlin.
Allison cordially agrees to meet with Carrie, and Carries relieved.
Little does she know shes headed straight for danger…
…and for unemployment.
In a quick scene, Jonas visits Ottos humongous estate and talks to the billionaire about Carrie.
Shes unbalanced, Otto says, adding that hes going to terminate their professional relationship.
Of course, dont let that influence your personal relationship with her.
It didnt seem like he was telling Jonas the full story, and Jonas knows it.
They wont be blowing anything up in Berlin, Bibi says, because ofQuinns advice.
Instead, theyre heading to Turkey and need to cross the border to Syria.
Bibi says his uncle is a deputy emir, and that catches Quinns attention.
You and Saul, Quinn muses, the perfect marriage ending badly.
(Itisa long story, but at least youre alive, Quinn!)
Dar isverypleased with this development and gives Quinn the green light to pursue the mission.
Back with the jihadists, Quinn joins after reviewing the mens passports and kicking one off the team.
Could this help them overthrow Assad?
But elsewhere in Berlin, the Saul-Carrie-Allison story is barreling ahead.
Is this really how you want to go out?
Dar spits at Saul.
Like one of those poor old actors you have to drag off the stage?
(Hey Dar, youre talking toMandy Patinkinhere!
Saul responds the only way he can, with an apt two words: F off.
He reports that the hotel couldnt find his laundry, and Saul nods.
You scared the s out of me, Saul says, greeting his Israeli friend.
When Etai asks him what hell do next, Saul almost smiles.
I dont know, he says.
Ive never defected before.
So by the end of tonight, the players have again been shuffled on the board.
Sauls officially gone rogue, and Dar cant do anything about it.
