The episode opens with Carrie (Claire Danes) exploring the mill in search of Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban).
Continuing to search, she goes through an exit and finds that a slew of CIA and FBI reinforcements have already arrived.
Quinn tells Carrie that Vice President Walden is dead, apparently due to a pacemaker malfunction.
Carrie calls Brody (Damian Lewis), who is at the safehouse with Jessica (Morena Baccarin).
Jessica overhears enough of the conversation to know who he is talking to; Brody finds her crying when he gets off the phone with Carrie.
Afterwards, Carrie is sent home to get some rest, but on the way she recalls Roya literally saying in Arabic that Abu Nazir would not run, leading her to wonder if he has been holed up in the mill the whole time.
At the safe house, Brody and his family receive the news that Abu Nazir has been killed and they are free to go home.
The episode was written by executive producer Chip Johannessen and directed by Jeremy Podeswa.
The original American broadcast received 2.36 million viewers, which increased in viewership and is the highest rated episode of the series up to that point.
