hey fathers, is the Principle allowed to just "keep" the kid in school and not allowed to let crazy carrie see/take her away if he sees the "crazy in her eyes"?
like as an educator he's allowed to use his best judgement of releasing a kid into the arms of crazy?

To be honest, I haven't a clue. I know they won't allow anyone to remove the child from school unless the legal guardian has pre-approved (in writing) said person. You're usually allowed 2-3 extra people to pick a kid up. But I have no idea if they can actually turn a parent down from removing their child. Because what a person views as crazy, may be the emotional response to something like the death of a spouse. IE - Huge lawsuit.

I wonder if the parent is clearly driving drunk if you could refuse them. Being related to a stupid junkie who has a small child, I think there are definitely times when it would be clearly better to send a kid with someone other than their parent, but that's some tricky legal territory there. I suppose the school could call CPS and let them make the call.
In the show they played it like the principal was trying to get Carrie to leave but he knew that if she insisted on taking her there was legally nothing he could do.

Yep, ruined a decent episode with a terrible ending. This really needs to be the final season.

Just watched last night and I thought this was a great episode and no I don't think this is a setup to end the show, I think it's setting up for next season with Carrie as a real CIA agent again. I suppose the death angle could be a possibility, but as a writer I don't know why you would put her through all this shit just to kill her off. I think she's going to go to Europe, bring back Simone, save the president, and then either re-join the CIA or work for Saul in his role as National Security Advisor to set up for next season.

So was that the season finale? Or are there more episodes? I would assume they would want to resolve the presidential issue this season. I also don't think they are trying to end the series. I think if she actually choose her daughter over her spy life that would pretty much end it there. The kid is just a distraction to her (always has been).

This realllllllllllllly bothered me this ep. I've normally been able to suspend reality for the sake of moving the plot but this was just straight potato.
The Russians track all the operatives and their titles as they exit the plane. They know exactly what hotel they're staying at. And then they let them roll out for a covert operations like it's nothing. I dont even. Homeland writers are basically insulting viewers intelligence at this point..
