Homeland Season 3 Finale Spoilers: Will Carrie get Brody out of Iran alive?

Homeland will air its Season 3 finale on Sunday night, and the most recent episode placed the characters in precarious positions. Brody killed the head of the Republican Guard and is now trapped in his office. Carrie is in Iran and has been as insubordinate as one CIA agent could possibly be. And Saul's entire career could be on the line. But the biggest question is this: Will Brody survive the finale?

James Hibberd of EW does not answer that question, but he does offer the following detailed description of the finale:

"Brody's flying riiiiiight into the danger zone in Iran. Carrie's secretly preggers, off her meds and sneaky-smoking. Saul's juggling a cheating wife, a scheming senator gunning for his job and Brody's mission. And Dana is cleaning motel rooms - really? Wouldn't Dana be the grumpiest maid ever? She doesn't even clean her own room. Yes, it's been a perplexing season, and Homeland is going into its final hour. The big question: Brody has survived longer than viewers (and even the show's writers) expected. Will this season send him to the great intelligence briefing in the sky? Or will Carrie manage to Argo him out of Iran and back to her sex cabin? Even if Brody does perish, we vote for Showtime to bring him back in Season 4 as Carrie's clozapine-induced Jedi-like spectral mentor."

Hibberd also reports on EW.com that Homeland hit a season high for its most recent episode with 2.1 million viewers during the initial 9 p.m. airing. The repeat later in the night increased that number to 2.7 million. The show is up 17 percent from its Season 2 audience.
