"Always ends up in an interesting way, doesn't it?" he answered, unwittingly foretelling his own doom. "You and me and bars," Carrie said as she walked up to Brody. They were off to the races from the get go. The subsequent scene was easily one of my absolute favorite of the entire series. When he asked why she was there, she paused, perfectly. "You kind of saved me," Carrie told Brody, at once a total lie (he pushed her into insanity) and truth (had he not ratted on her to Estes, she may never have tried to get well). They both expertly played the duality of the moment, as Carrie and Brody simultaneously performed the fiction of their cover stories and betrayed the truth of their real, raw, complicated feelings for each other.
(Some nice touches here: Brody mishearing the car wash attendant say "blood splatter" instead of "bug splatter" and the seemingly foreign-born cabbie grousing that by passing Brody a piece of paper outside Langley, he was doomed to be followed the rest of the day.) Already on tilt, Brody was primed when he "bumped" into Carrie for the first time this season, and Claire Danes and Damian Lewis proved yet again that there may be no better scene partners working on television today. Virgil (welcome back!) and Max tailed Brody's efforts to scrub his car clean from his deadly misadventure with the tailor the day before, all the way to his cab ride to Langley.
