F**ker Shot Me is the seventh episode of the final season of Homeland. It aired on March 22, 2020.

Synopsis[]

Saul finds an unlikely ally. So does Carrie. Yevgeny's contacts located Max. But before Carrie can free him, the Taliban abduct the American again. Meanwhile, Haqqani awaits his court hearing. Saul hopes to bring an audio recording of the Taliban chief's willingness to sign a peace deal into the process, but President Hayes, now under G'ulom's influence, has no intention of letting Haqqani get away with it.

Episode guide[]

F**ker Shot Me began with the aforementioned Haqqani being delivered to G’ulom at the soccer stadium, prompting the release of all the Taliban soldiers who were being held there. Saul reiterated the need of a fair trial (which was never going to happen) and warned about what may happen if that wasn’t the case (which will probably happen) but G’ulom was unsurprisingly unfazed. Meanwhile, Saul learned about Carrie’s escape. Though he new everything (and her need to get Max), all he wanted was to get her back.

Carrie and Gromov were in Pakistan in search for Max (Claire Danes and Costa Ronin have great chemistry which would be on display in this episode). However, she was still skeptical of him and rightfully so. On the way, Carrie came across a makeshift graveyard near the same wedding party for which she launched a drone attack a few seasons back. Suffice it to say that she still felt remorse that led to her leaving the CIA. Carrie thought Gromov was screwing with him (because obviously) but he claimed he wasn’t. Meanwhile, Saul warned Washington of the dangers of what Haqqani’s death may mean. Hayes came late though all he took from it was that people were plotting behind his back (he wanted revenge for Warner’s death and Wellington’s loyalty). They had a classified intercept proving that Haqqani was incident, however, Hayes was against the sharing of the classified information.

Carrie and Gromov found Max but the Taliban were not willing to give him up (probably since they knew how important he was now). Carrie and Max’s reunion was a short one as he was taken away again to a compound full of young soldiers led by Jaleel Haqqani. Suffice it to say that the others were not quick to help so Carrie chose to go in on her own. Meanwhile, Hayes greeted Warner’s widow Doris (Kate Burton) who was certainly not in a good mood knowing what went down. Saul also went to Pakistan for help from Qureshi and her father (also an old friend) who he warned about the war that could be coming their way (they each had their own classified information that could help). Only the latter would be swayed.

G’ulom also came to Washington to meet with Hayes to continue to manipulate him into going to war to prove his strength (it was working). To try to stop it, Saul and Qureshi tried to convince a judge to grant a continuance (Qureshi showed her some of her classified info and it worked). That judge would eventually be replaced only for Haqqani to be sentenced to death. Unfortunately Hayes couldn’t do anything about it. Meanwhile, a right-wing political consultant named John Zabel (Hugh Dancy) was talking with him to continue that manipulation.

The episode ended with Carrie approaching the compound where Max was being held, only to witness him appearing to be staged for a beheading video before Gromov stopped her.

Quotes[]

  • Saul Berenson: You didn't do this. You're innocent.
  • Haissam Haqqani: Forty years of war. No one is innocent.
  • Saul Berenson: How does a weak president show he’s strong? He goes war.

Mistakes[]

Factual error: The President's casket is being brought into a hanger at Dover AFB Delaware. There are no mountains in Delaware as was seen in the background.
