“You know what really bugged him? The sheer unfairness of it all. Because at the same time he’s over there, trying to bring some sanity to the situation, there’s this woman, this CIA station chief, who’s completely off the rails. Right around the time he’s sent home from Kabul, a total pariah, this crazy lady drops a drone on a wedding party, killing 40 people. And you know what she gets? A promotion." - Dante’s ex-wife’s description of Carrie is a supremely self-aware knife in the side.

Audrey Navarro is the ex-wife of Dante Allen. Carrie learns from Audrey that some things Dante had said about his past (having a drinking problem, his wife being bipolar) were lies, and also that he had harbored resentment for a CIA station chief in Kabul— a crazy woman who called up a strike of drone on a wedding party and got a promotion anyway.

Biography

While Carrie Mathison is searching Dante's apartment, Franny has found Dante's wedding book and asks who the woman next to Dante is. Carrie looks into it and realizes that his ex works at the Treasury.

Mathison is at the Ministry meeting with Dante's ex-wife, Audrey Navarro.

She talks to Audrey, who tells her that Dante was very unhappy with his job and that it was the frustration that broke them up, not the alcohol. In Kabul he was accused of something and was sent home. His CIA boss, on the other hand, got a promotion for dropping a drone on a wedding party. He couldn't cope with this injustice and became obsessed. But later he reoriented himself and had a few appointments overseas.

Carrie calls Max and tells him she has news about Dante that he should check out. She also now realizes that Dante lied to her. From her interview with the ex-wife, Carrie knows that Dante wasn’t drinking too heavily, as he claimed. Instead he was obsessed with a CIA station chief (The Drone Queen).

Andrey is mentioned by Carrie at Dante's funeral.
