Homeland season 6 episode 8 sneak peek: Carrie and the potential evils of Dar Adal
Specifically for Claire Danes’ character, she’s got every reason in the world to think that Dar is shady and is constantly on a path of destruction for pretty much everyone — or at least everyone who doesn’t suit her own means to an end. During this episode Sunday night, he’ll have displaced Peter Quinn, and left him in a position where he wonders where he is and what’s going on.
We could probably go on for another two or three paragraphs about Rupert Friend’s performance this season — it’s been nothing short of outstanding, and if there is no Emmy love coming his way this summer we’ll be egregiously upset. The sneak peek that we have for you below doesn’t revolve around his character all.
Instead, this preview is very much all Carrie and Saul all the time. When Saul meets up her, she is clearly in a desperate state, trying to pick up the pieces of what’s happened. She doesn’t believe there is any appeal that she can make. While you can say a million times over that Carrie’s far from a perfect mother (this situation is one she could’ve found herself in a while back), you were seeing an effort from her to be better. It’s with that in mind that you do feel for her in terms of what is going on in this moment.
The problem for Saul is realizing that in the midst of Carrie’s grave sorrow, he still needs something from her and realizes that he has to ask for a favor. We don’t see this as him being incredibly malicious or trying to deceive Carrie — you do get the sense that he cares for her and hates what is going on with her. He just has to do what he has to do.
As for Dar Adal, we continue to wonder whether or not we will see him make it through this season. Also, we continue to wonder sometimes if there are snakes in the grass at home that are just as troublesome as those overseas.
