The CIA and BND combine forces to catch Allison.

But do they succeed?

Like Carrie and Saul, the CIA and BND dont always see eye to eye.

But when they do, they can pull off some spectacular spy work.

And Saul, instead of dismissing Carries concerns, embraces her.

Saul volunteers and manages to play the part when he heads to her apartment.

So far, anyway.

(But itisblatant symbolism,Homeland!)

Unfortunately, Sauls watching the monitors as Allison gets it on.

He rushes out of the room, disturbed.

Its a rare case of Carrie acting the mentor to Saul, but its effective.

After that call, she dials a mystery number and hears a series of beeps.

After listening, Allison packs up and hurries into a cab, now officially on the run.

Saul hesitates, saying this isnt conclusive evidence.

Allison has no idea any of this is happening as she races up the steps to meet Krupin.

As soon as the words come out of his mouth, he realizes whats happened.

Krupin instructs his fellow SVR agents to crash the hard drives and then shouts at Allison.

How the f could you be so careless?

he screams, until she slaps him to calm him down.

It only makes him angry, but Allison tells him to calm down.

At this moment, she has a plan.

The police arrive and take the two of them away, but Allison doesnt look shaken anymore.

The camera lingers on Saul as he watches and then looks over at Carrie, who closes her eyes.

Theyve succeeded, but theyre not done.

Back at the CIA Berlin Station, they brief Dar on what theyve done.

Thats quite a story, he says, looking indignant until he reveals hes pleased with their success.

Youve made your case, both of you.

I just dont know who to be more disgusted with, her or us.

Dar, how about just you?)

Everything seems wrapped up, but Allison has one more card to play.

Shes simply a CIA agent whos been using Krupin as an asset.

Dar, whos so used to getting the last word, is left speechless.

And Saul, in the next room, hangs his head.

And so Carrie and Saul ultimately failed or have they?

Allisons story cant possibly hold up under scrutiny, can it?

Even if I wanted to stop it, how could I?

I cant betray my brothers.

Still, he tries.

(Oh no.)

(Oh nooo.)

Its a dead end, but Kasim has one more move to help Quinn.

In the ensuing scuffle, he injects Quinn with a hefty dose of Atropine.

Maybe you will live, he whispers to Quinn before the latter gets dragged into the sealed chamber.

With nothing left to try, Quinn simply stands inside and begins to feel the effects of the gas.

Its painful to watch.

Not cool,Homeland.

Why cant our ridiculously good-looking favorite terrorism janitor ever catch a break?

And when will he get back in the spy game with the recently reunited Carrie and Saul?

Not anytime soon, at this rate.

So in other words: like live, Quinn.

Theres no one else who can save Berlin but you.
