"Oriole" doesn't get Homeland any closer to tightening up its too-loose plotting, but it's a relatively action-packed episode, and one that begins to answer some of the season's pressing questions.

"Oriole" was another efficiently constructed episode of the show, one that managed to check in with every character without ruining the tension of the key stories involving Carrie, Saul, and Allison.

After a slow start, the action turned hot and heavy over the last 40 minutes of this episode.

An entertaining episode of Homeland that kept things moving with a bit of action and some choice moments for all our leads, "Oriole" also reminded us of some of Homeland's more outlandish qualities with the Saul and Quinn subplots.

[Carrie] was in her element - calling contacts, snooping through houses and ditching wigs - but she did say one thing that was absolutely nuts.
