Homeland season 6 episode 12 (finale) spoilers: ‘America First,’ unnerved

Next week on Showtime, Homeland season 6 episode 12 will be airing, and there is one major reason to have a chill go down your spine — the title for the episode is “America First.” The show really doesn’t have to do anything else to get a reaction out of us. Without getting too political here, there are many people divided in America right now, so you know you’re stirring the pot when you give an episode a title like this.

Earlier on (during the writing of the season), you could get a sense that the show was working with the assumption that Hillary Clinton would win the Presidency. However, things clearly had to change over time, and this title is a specific reference to one of the slogans of Donald Trump’s campaign. We know that there are no coincidences when it comes to Homeland, so the same can likely be said about what we’re going to see in this episode — at the very least thematically. Given that we already have President Keane, we’re not going to see Trump turning up anywhere on this episode. Yet, there may be a lot of chaos, and reactions that come from a controversial policy. Homeland is so very relevant, making it terrifying, and thought-provoking. We absolutely expect nothing less from what we’re going to be seeing from the remainder of the season.

Homeland season 6 episode 12 synopsis – “Season 6 ends as pieces fall into place.”

Yes, Showtime is not revealing much information about the episode, but this is the finale, so it’s expected that the network would want to keep everything a secret. Maybe someone’s in danger, but they’re not saying for now. The only thing that we have to go on, (outside of the promo), is the news of a Homeland season 7 coming down the road.

Promo – Based on what we’ve got below, this is going to be the episode that “changes everything.” With some shows, we wouldn’t believe it. With Homeland, we do. If they’re hyping something like this up, we buy into it completely. Brace yourselves.
