Upon reflection... there's a lot to dig into.

What if this is all a set-up, a long con to trap Allison? Homeland has pulled season-long twists over on us before.

After a slow start, the action turned hot and heavy over the last 40 minutes of this episode.

"Oriole" was another efficiently constructed episode of the show, one that managed to check in with every character without ruining the tension of the key stories involving Carrie, Saul, and Allison.

An entertaining episode of Homeland that kept things moving with a bit of action and some choice moments for all our leads, "Oriole" also reminded us of some of Homeland's more outlandish qualities with the Saul and Quinn subplots.

I have a lot more questions than answers after this one, but they're great questions to which I want the answers.

Whereas 24 would be driven by the Russian plot, Homeland simply uses it as a means to a greater end-to say something about these characters, their intelligence, their trust.

"Oriole" doesn't get Homeland any closer to tightening up its too-loose plotting, but it's a relatively action-packed episode, and one that begins to answer some of the season's pressing questions.
