"Representative Brody" is the tenth episode of the first season of the psychological thriller TV series Homeland.
Vice President Walden (Jamey Sheridan) visits Brody (Damian Lewis) at his home.
He offers Brody the chance to run for a seat in the House of Representatives soon to be vacated by the disgraced Richard Johnson.
Jessica (Morena Baccarin) is resistant to the idea, fearing the media scrutiny and disruption to their lives.
Carrie (Claire Danes) and Saul have been digging for dirt on Mansour Al-Zahrani (Ramsey Faragallah), the Saudi diplomat who was found to be conferring with Tom Walker (Chris Chalk) at the mosque.
She threatens to have Al-Zahrani's daughter, a National Merit Scholar attending Yale, deported to Saudi Arabia.
Al-Zahrani finally agrees to co-operate, posting a signal at his house which indicates to Walker that they are to meet at noon in Farragut Square the next day.
She is led to believe there will be possible reconciliation and is heartbroken when Brody merely tells her he is running for Congress and wants to confirm that nobody knows about the affair they had.
Club's Emily VanDerWerff gave a "B+" grade, citing some logistical problems with the storyline but recognizing the episode's pivotal scenes as very well executed.
