Warning: Full spoilers below.
After the revelation last week that Berlin Station Chief Allison is a traitor who ordered Carrie’s assassination and also likely (since confirmed) was behind the destruction of General Youssef’s plane, thus squashing Saul’s Syrian regime-change plan, this episode of Homeland delves into how Allison feels about these acts. And it turns out, she doesn’t feel so good!
Which I’m glad about, because we certainly don’t need an out and out Evil Person here, especially as we’re still fairly early in the season. Allison can be seen as a dark reflection of Carrie, a possibly good person who went bad at some point. Maybe she’s a double agent who rose up through the spy-agency ranks in Russia just as Carrie did in the U.S. Either way, she was seemingly a student of Saul’s at one point, but whereas Carrie and Saul developed a daughter/father relationship, Allison got much closer physically, if not emotionally, to her old mentor and current boss. (Although, yes, there was that super-creepy instance in Season 1 where Carrie put the moves on Saul in a moment of desperation. Yuk.) Allison has ascended to a high-ranking position in the CIA, the same level that Carrie had achieved before she left the agency, and just as we’ve seen Carrie do some pretty nasty stuff, so has Allison.
