Already on thin ice with the CIA, and now assigned to a desk job after an incident in Iraq, Carrie is forced to break protocol in order to prove her theory that Brody was "turned" during his many years in captivity and is now working for al Qaeda. Meanwhile, Brody receives a hero's welcome at home, and attempts to reconnect with his family whom he hasn't seen in eight years.
