Tom Walker calls again, and this time Helen Walker talks to him as the FBI traces the call. But she feels as if she has betrayed him, and she warns him to run. The FBI chases him into a mosque. They rush in and accidentally kill two men who were there for morning prayer, and Tom is able to escape. After this, David suggests that they inform the public about the news, dubbing him as a "terrorist". Meanwhile, Tom Walker uses his key and note to enter a storage facility, where a sniper rifle is waiting for him. The next morning, Carrie goes to Brody's house and tells him that Tom is still alive and that he is the turned prisoner of war. Saul rushes home to see Mira. This is the morning that she is leaving for India. She is packing her things into a cab. Disappointed in the way things with Saul's career force him to be somewhat of an absentee husband, she says goodbye and the cab drives her away. Saul returns to his house, alone. Mansour Al-Zahrani comes home at night to find that someone is waiting for him. He discovers Brody, who attacks him, furious, because Abu Nazir's people had told Brody that he had killed Tom Walker—his friend. He tells Al-Zahrani that he is done talking to Abu Nazir and to "tell him it's over." The episode was written by co-executive producer Chip Johannessen, his second of four writing credits for the first season. It was directed by Tucker Gates, his first directing credit for the series. The original broadcast had 1.2 million viewers, a decline of 220,000 from the previous episode. "The A.V. Club"s Emily VanDerWerff gave the episode an "A-", citing strong exploration of the characters, and also hailed the acting of Claire Danes on a weekly basis. "TIME"s James Poniewozik expressed some apprehension about the plot twist in the final scene, but praised the acting and thematic elements, concluding "for now Homeland remains easily the strongest new show of the fall".
