The impression I got is that she's been trying to terminate Brody's baby with booze and drugs and periodically checks the status. But yeah, they should have revealed her pregnancy before the hospital stay.

This is what is going on. Everyone else is over thinking things. The writing in this show isn't great anymore. We can't explain why the psych ward didn't pick up on the pregnancy. We'll just have to forget about that.

talking to a few women, it's quite possible that at 3 even 4 months preggers, she won't have a baby bump, just cuz... it's different for different ppl, so yea by the power of women concensus, it could be brody baby, that has taken drugs and lithium? while in the mental ward, and she'll pop that baby and use it to bring back brody since his other family hates him and uncle mike is now basically father mike.

Yeah the baby bump is really a specific thing, specific to each person. And a woman who runs 6 miles a day and whose diet consists mostly of whiskey and anti-psychotics will definitely not be showing.
They could have tested her and found out at the hospital, actually. There is an awful lot that happened in that timeframe that we were not privy to because they wanted to have their reveal. It doesn't really matter either way, adding a scene of a nurse giving her prenatal care instructions doesn't add to the show.

Looking back at this season's events under the light of her secret pregnancy is interesting... suddenly, running and herbal cures make a lot more sense, as is her being genuinely furious for staying too long in the psych ward (assuming there is no mandatory pregnancy test and that she kept it a secret).

lol at first dar adal was like "wtf is this, quinn killing ppl? saul running a super secret op w/o me? oh we can't have this, imma gonna be in the senators back pocket", then saul said, "yea we got that super arab guy, i did all this" then the sentor is like "fck that i won't let you" and then dar adal was like "oh fck you we gotta continue this old skool"
locked in a conference room, they don't even got enough respect for the guy to give him light.
saul's so blind, now i want him to get with the noobie headscarf finance girl.

Really like Saul in this episode until the very end, poor guy.
"Make me" line and scene with the senator had me laughing.

while senator DickHead is, well, a dick you know he's gonna be proved 100% correct - javadi is gonna fuck saul over long and hard and kill Americans in the process. Why the fuck does Saul think he is smart enough to be Moses 2.0 and bring peace to the Middle East? He couldn't even prevent 2 middle age women from getting headshot or figure out his wife is fucking frenchies on the side, this is all going to end badly. If the senator was smart he would publicly expose all this shit and bring Saul to trial and promise a new clean CIA, but of course he will somehow be convinced to go along with these dumb plans to save face or something.
and lol at mystery valet terrorist who pressed the bomb button, like catching one random guy will convince a single person that Brody wasn't in on it. Oh well, maybe Brody will show up in the show sometime now.

Saul knows that Javadi will fuck with him and that americans will die, but a war is being waged and it is more advantageous to have him as a reluctant double agent than to kill him.
As far as I am concerned, they have a serious problem with Javadi though: their threat has no granularity. What I mean is that they don't have him on a leach, they have him in an explosive collar. On leach, if he pulls a little, you can pull back a little, but with an explosive collar, how much must he pull for you to deem it worthy of death? How long until he finds a way to defuse the explosive?

How is Saul even going to continue with this operation in 10 days when the Senator takes over the CIA? This whole plan will never be able to come to fruition. In fact, I don't see how Saul even keeps his job at that point. In that scenario, they just sent a terrorist back to his home country and will completely lose contact with him before he can do anything useful. The plug is going to get pulled when the Senator takes over.

I'm just curious which route they go, with Saul getting shitcanned and that whole angle failing miserably, or somehow the Senator doesn't come to power and take over. I can't realistically see any other option. Then again, maybe they wrap up the whole season before either happens? Theres only 5 episodes left, I guess they could deal with only what happens in the next 10 days and leave the regime shift in the CIA for next season. We're probably due another Brody episode or 2 to chew up some time.
I will have to say, this was probably my favorite episode of the season, mainly because there was no Brody wife or daughter in it at all.

I still wanna know who the mole is. Galvez is dead, too much about Saul has been revealed. Who are the likely suspects?

Haha yeah at this point I guess everyone would stick with Saul / Carrie arc and say fuck off to Brodys arcs.
