Homeland Season 4 Spoilers: What's Next for Carrie in The Middle East?

The Homeland Season 4 premiere on Sunday showed just how terrible of a mother Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) truly is. She was thrilled when she was abroad, living her life of freedom and catching bad guys. But when she had to come home, she struggled mightily to connect with her family and had no desire to care for her daughter.

She outright tells the little infant that she tried to hold onto her love for Brody through their child, but it didn't happen. Oh yeah, and then she almost lets the baby drown in the bathtub! As her sister put it, there's not even a diagnosis for what's wrong with this woman.

But what happens next for our flawed heroine? The "Mega Buzz" column at TV Guide reports on the next episode.

"Fortunately, Carrie is headed back to the Middle East - far, far away from her baby. Once there, she will quickly set up a new team (including a few familiar faces) and quickly go about getting close to Aayan, the med student who survived Carrie's strike in the premiere. But will he talk? 'This is obviously an asset that she's going to work very hard to recruit and it's going to prove very difficult,' executive producer Alex Gansa says. 'It's fascinating to watch. You're manipulating people, you're looking for human weakness, you're seeing what your advantages are and then you're ultimately trying to figure out a way to turn a person. That's the advantage of putting Carrie overseas right now: We get to see her do what she was trained to do.'"
