–SPOILER ALERT–

Did you watch last night’s episode of Homeland? “The Choice” served as the second season finale and what played out was certainly unexpected. Everything we witnessed Abu Nazir do was a ruse, believe it or not. It was not until after he died did his ultimate plan come to pass. Showrunner Alex Gansa discusses the exciting finale in the video embedded above. In the discussion he makes a very interesting point regarding the Quinn situation: had Estes’ shooter gone through with the plan to assassinate Brody, Nazir’s plan would have been foiled! Gansa also teases season three and we learn that Saul is indeed the “acting director of the CIA” and he will be rebuilding the institution with Carrie at his side when Homeland returns in 2013.
