Warning: Spoilers
Carrie with some help managed to stopped the gas attack, but it's somewhat predictable and underwhelming, you can't see that happening from a two episodes away. The rest of the episode is more character-driven just like in the last season, and it was kinda anti-climatic.

Laura was forced to negate everything she said in order to protect Numan, what a selfless character. Allison was on her way to leave the country but was ambushed by the CIA, despite what she did, I don't think she deserved to die like that, moreover she's an interesting and clever character, she worked for the Russians for years and no one suspected a thing in the Agency. And when they found out she outsmarted them all. Carrie and her boyfriend broke up, and then she was proposed by her boss, Otto, which I find it to be a bit out-of-place. It's as if the writers can't decide whether to kill off Quinn or not, his death was teased a lot in the past episodes, just make up your mind.

Overall, this is a good season, but not as good as last season or any season for that matter. However, it's got suspense and enough drama to keep one engaged, and the acting is brilliant, cinematography was great in particularly, the score was fitting. Can't wait to see what S6 has to offer.
