"Homeland&amp;#039;s executive producer Alex Gansa has revealed the fate of Carrie and Brody at the start of season two. During season one&amp;#039;s climax &amp;#039;Marine One&amp;#039;, CIA analyst Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) was given electroshock therapy in an attempt to deal with her severe bipolar disorder.   &amp;quot;Carrie has had, for the first time in her life, the benefit of professional help for her disease,&amp;quot; Gansa told The Huffington Post. &amp;quot;She will have been in the psych ward for a while.  &amp;quot;She will have been in the care of a psychiatrist for six months. She will have undergone a series of these ECT therapies. [The treatment] is not just a one-off. &amp;quot;So when we find her as the second season picks up, she will be in a place where she is centred and quiet and together in a way that we haven&amp;#039;t seen her before.&amp;quot; Damian Lewis&amp;#039;s character Brody, meanwhile, will be a congressman when the new season begins.      &amp;quot;His seat is vacated through a scandal, and he was appointed by the governor into that seat for a temporary period of time until the election,&amp;quot; Gansa teased. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s not running. Well, he will be running, but he will be a sitting congressman serving in the House of Representatives when we open the season.&amp;quot; Revealing the on-screen time period between the seasons, Gansa added: &amp;quot;I can definitely tell you where the season starts - it&amp;#039;s around half a year after the first season. We pick up the second season six months later.&amp;quot; Homeland returns to Showtime on September 30.
