And theyve got to have far more nefarious goals in mind than providing a protective detail… right?
Is OKeefe taking their propaganda machine a bit further than Dar would like?
Is the agency itself involved, or has Dar gone rogue?

And finally, will OKeefe and Dar ultimately get whats coming to them?
Because therealvan is in the garage across the street.
With tangible evidence finally in front of her, Carrie offers to call the solicitor general.
He can make things happen so that Quinn doesnt have to kill anyone, she says.
Unsurprisingly, Quinns not down with her plan.
The guy is mine, he responds, and he doesnt care if it means hes tried for murder.
Well, I do, Carrie says, much to Quinns frustration.
he practically spits at Carrie.
You made me this way, in Berlin.
You woke me from a coma for answers.
I dont have them.
You made this stroke, he says, gesturing up and down the partially paralyzed side of his body.
Horrified, Carrie asks who told him.
But what does that matter?
You only care because you got found out, he says.
She did this to him because for her, the mission always comes first.
When the guys across the street start leaving the next morning, Quinn packs up to follow suit.
I told myself I was doing what youd want me to do, preventing an attack, she says.
I should have told you… And its not just the mission, it never has been.
He fires off one shot and proceeds to beat the man to death with the butt of his gun.
Though Carrie tries to stop him, all she can really do is watch in horror.
Thats when he mentions Astrid: She came all the way from Berlin to take care of me.
Im so fed up…
I thought she came to hurt me.
I took the bullets out of her gun and she couldnt defend herself when he came.
Its all I can do, he says about his penchant for violence.
Theres nothing here [pointing to his heart].
Ive always been this way.
The solicitor general arrives and Carrie endeavors to explain how things got a little out of hand.
R, on the other hand, would be Romeo, which is the East Coast (i.e.
somewhere in the very near vicinity).
She then calls Rob, Keanes chief of staff, to find out whats going on.
He says a demonstration got out of hand but that Keanes all right and reinforcements are on the way.
Which reinforcements, exactly?
While shes waiting for an answer, she tries telling the officers to stop unlocking the garage.
Luckily, Quinns not one of them.
Its been a few too many episodes since the lastHomelandexplosion, huh?
And despite a reporters question about a possible resignation, Keane makes it clear shes not backing down.
I was elected by the people of this country to be their next president, she says.
I will represent them.
Shes right that Dars behind the video, but its more complicated than that, Saul tells her.
If somebody calls me deplorable, I think they should say it to my face, OKeefe says.
Hes not especially convincing, but he gets an A for effort.
A little while later, a security guard brings Max some lunch and (inadvertently?)
leaves his key card on the tray so Max can escape.
Whats a president-elect to do?
Youre fighting for your lives here, Saul warns, advising Keane to take on OKeefe head on.
And thats exactly what she does.
The so-called 2 million shares of the video within one minutes of its release?
In my government, truth will have a value and you will have no place, she declares.
Its all I can do, really, to stop myself from screaming, YAS QUEEN!
at my TV screen.
In the episodes final moments, Max finally finds the online presence made to look like Quinn.
Well find out next week, when your regularHomelandrecapper Shirley returns to break down the season 6 finale.
