Although the recent episodes of "Homeland" are not as action-packed as some fans would have expected, but the storyline of Season 6 is still full of surprises. Episode 6 titled "The Return" shows raw vulnerability and it's gripping.

Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) clearly still has questions for Peter Quinn (Rupert Friend), but after waiting for hours at the police station, she found out that Quinn isn't there and that he is on lockdown for 72 hours. This means that any questions that she has about his night-time surveillance mission, she would have to investigate herself, Vulture said.

Carrie seeks Ray Conlin's (Dominic Fumusa) assistance and showed him the pictures. They saw a man across the street who was watching Carrie and who drove the same company where Sekou worked. Carrie thinks that it's possible that Sekou didn't know that there was a bomb in the van, and both she and Conlin agree that things don't add up.

Meanwhile, "Homeland" Season 6 episode 6 also showed Saul Benson (Mandy Patinkin) who is still unaware that Carrie is working for President-elect Elizabeth Keane's (Elizabeth Marvel) adviser. But he knows something is up, and he will soon find out.

Fans speculate that Saul and Carrie may soon form a tandem, and it's going to be a dream team, and Carrie can really use an ally right now, The New York Times said. Saul is convinced that Mossad is manipulating facts. So how will Saul approach Dar Adal? That remains to be seen. The final twist of this episode was when Quinn is broken out by Astrid (Nina Hoss). However, Quinn's former lover still has to prove is she is a friend or a foe.

Astrid has been a recurring cast since Season 4, but this is the first time that she has made an appearance for this season. Could this appearance prove beneficial to Quinn, or could this only mean more danger?

The upcoming episode of "Homeland" Season 6 is titled "Imminent Risk," and the official synopsis says: "Carrie gets bad news. Saul makes a plan. Quinn accepts his situation." Not much is given away, but this short teaser speaks a lot. Episode 7 airs on March 5.
