Carrie (Claire Danes) is escorted to Bagram Airfield where she is welcomed by Saul (Mandy Patinkin), and then President Warner (Beau Bridges).
Warner thanks Carrie for her sacrifice in Moscow, and informs her that he is taking her advice and visiting a military base in Afghanistan where, along with Afghan President Daoud (Christopher Maleki), he will announce the end of the war.
Carrie gets a frantic call from Samira (Sitara Attaie) asking for help—Samira's brother-in-law Bilal (Omar Farahmand) is attempting to kidnap her and force her into marriage.
[1] New York Magazine rated the episode 4 out of 5 stars, and called attention to "the way it balances the “macro” of President Warner's journey to announce the ceasefire with the “micro” story of Samira Noori needing to be rescued by Carrie Mathison".
Club gave the episode a "B+" grade, while writing "our certainty that something terrible is going to happen to President Warner at some point during his ill-advised jaunt lends a queasy suspense to the proceedings.
