It feels so satisfying to see Saul dropping F-bombs at Hot Evil Hugh Dancy and his smug beard.
She uses the opportunity to circuitously ask about that secret Russian asset Yevgeny mentioned, which Saul vehemently denies.
I wonder whether to believe him while also simultaneously marveling about how enviable his house is.

In Washington, D.C. he’s gotta be sitting on millions of dollars worth of property, right?
The wall-to-wall bookcase alone…hold up we’re getting a flashback to Saul in 1986.
It’s 1986Berlin, of all places, and I’m enraptured immediately.
If Mandy PatinkinIrishmans himself for this flashback I’ll consider this season worth its weight in gold.
But this is my penultimate recap and I don’t want to pretend anymore,damnit!
Sometimes my hunches are wrong.
“When you’re dealing with Carrie you have to do what she does,” he explains.
“You have to decide for yourself what matters.
You have to decide what kind of person you are.”
Back with Carrie, she’s in the courtroom to hear her charges and they are really something.
She runs Carrie through her findings (in Saul’s own dining room!

Saul’s asset is surprisingly (shockingly?)
We follow her she looks strikingly similar to Helen Mirren from the front, no?
to a bookstore and suddenly there’s another flashback.

And now we’re back to 1980s Berlin and Saul’s newsboy cap.
They video chat (OMG are they Zoom-ing?)
And I don’t useliterallightly here.
I’m guessing this goes back all the way to Carrie’s capture at the end of season 7.
