And This Is Crazy

Carrie: "Truthfully, you don't even feel a thing, so..."
Brody: "Well, that which makes you stronger..."
Carrie: "...Is not a saying. Listen, I fucked this up. I got way too mad and showed you something you weren't expecting, and it reminded you that I am inscrutable and that you have no way to trust me, so I'm going to bounce before something bad happens."
Brody: "Fine. Put these drinks on my bill, Room 416. Good seeing you."

"Peace?"
"Peace."

He heads upstairs and she sits at the bar until the song ends, too pissed at herself to even call in. The room is so much emptier, without all those Nicks. Without all the Carries she had to be.

DEBRIEF

Quinn: "You did so great!"
Carrie: "Nah, I fucked it up."
Quinn: "What, you expected a full confession?"
Carrie: "You don't get it. Put Saul on."
Saul: "Seriously you did fine, Peanut."
Carrie: "No, he made me. When he asked about ECT there was a flash in my eyes and he flashed back. He went away. He saw me go away and he went away, and then we both came back. It is broken."
HQ: "He's going up to his room, it's fine..."
Carrie: "Yeah, to put a wineglass in his window or something, and then they go to ground."
Quinn: "Because you 'saw it in his eyes'?"
Carrie: "Have you not seen this fucking show? That is the entire show in one sentence!"
Quinn: "So this would be the Crazy Carrie Moment they warned me about. Get your ass back to the..."

...Just an empty barstool, spinning. Papers floating down in the air. Mathison out.

UPSTAIRS

You can see Nick have the same fight with himself, without saying a word. In the action of his hands, as he drinks a Fiji water and sits on the bed, the labored breath and his eyebrows, as he wonders whether or not to put that wineglass up. She went away, and he went away, and by the time they came back, she knew. He spots her through the peephole, and nearly speaks aloud to them. To all the Nicks.

They clear so many steps of what has to be cleared, without speaking at all: He asks why she's there, in his doorway, smiling, and she admits she's being silly. She asks if he can come in, and he agrees. Though it's against both of their interests, he agrees. In silence.
