Superb entertainment at St James' Park in a game where Spurs twice

Udging by the laws of television, Lynne Reed's character wasn't destined to be with us for long. From the minute Carrie (Claire Danes) assured Lynne (with breathtaking mendacity, one might add) that a surveillance team was watching her 24/7, despite the fact that said team had been denied to a girl described as just "an escort recruited in Bahrain," it was obvious that Lynne's chances of lasting the season were slimmer than a rookie model during fashion week.

Given that Lynne (Brianna Brown) was not only one of Carrie's most trusted sources, but also the conduit for most of the gratuitous sex/nudity scenes in Homeland, it's hard to see how the show will progress without her character (luckily Jessica Brody seems willing enough to drop her clothes at a moment's notice). "Clean Skin" opened last night as Lynne was "entertaining" Prince Farid Bin Abbud in royal fashion in a DC hotel room. After Farid left the room for a minute, Lynne took the chance to upload the contents of his BlackBerry to the chip Carrie gave her, prompting a momentously suspense-filled wait for the world's slowest spy device to work. We, like Lynne, thought for sure that she'd been discovered, but it turned out Prince Farid only looked thoughtful because he was about to give Lynne a whopping great diamond necklace. Cue sighs of relief all round.

What was particularly interesting about this week's episode was the lack of attention given to Brody's secret life. Anyone who'd skipped the first two episodes completely might think Nick Brody (Damian Lewis) was just a kind, slightly scarred soldier returning home to a typically dysfunctional family. This week the Brodys are preparing for a TV interview with MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, prepped by an abrasive producer (Gaby Hoffmann) who looks a lot like Rachel Maddow, only with frumpier hair and less charm. Brody objects to the camera crew moving his furniture around (Carrie breathes a sigh of relief when he intercedes to stop a couch being moved, since the couch was hiding some of her surveillance equipment). "I kept everything exactly the same the whole time he was gone," Jessica tells Mike, whose main role this week seems to be to look pissed off every time Jessica and Brody look happy together.replica hermes handbags
