Mob Wives Season 6 Episode 2
Homeland Season 6 Episode 7 Review: . Was he just there to be a thorn in everyone’s side, to cause problems for Saul at the CIA and put pressure on Keane, or was there something more sinister to his actions this season? Well, “Imminent Risk” finally gives us a definitive answer on what Dar has been doing over these past seven episodes, as his connection with the man across the street is revealed, proving that Dar truly is Season 6’s main villain. Is this reveal a major surprise?
Not particularly, as Homeland has shown Dar in opposition with pretty much every other character this season. Whether it’s Carrie, Saul, or President- elect Keane, Dar has continuously been clashing with people, so when we do get confirmation that he was not only behind the explosion in New York but also Children Services taking away Frannie from Carrie, it makes perfect sense but it also puts Homeland in a place that it’s never been before with Dar. With so many people’s lives being affected by Dar’s actions (and in the case of the bombing, people losing their lives), there’s no way that the series can walk back what he’s done and try to re- establish Dar as someone who might be doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, as someone that we could possibly root for. Dar has always been shady and his morality has always been questionable, but the things he has done in Season 6 are unforgivable; he’s committed crimes all for the sake of his agenda, and he needs to be taken down. It appears, though, that if anyone is going to get the better of Dar it will be Saul, who recognizes the type of game his friend and colleague is playing after he’s questioned about his time in the West Bank for long enough that it could hinder his plans to meet with Javadi. Dar and his men aren’t able to prevent Saul and Javadi’s conversation from taking place, though, despite the extreme lengths they go to (in Javadi’s case, those extreme lengths include torture), and the result of their talk may be Dar’s undoing, as Saul plans to bring Javadi to President- elect Keane so that she can hear it straight from him that Iran is not cheating on the nuclear deal.
Could there be any better way for Dar to be served justice than by Keane herself? Maybe there could be, because as personal as Dar has made things between him and Keane, he goes one step further with Carrie, informing Children Services of the apparent danger that Frannie is in so that she is taken away from her mother and, for the foreseeable future, forced to stay in foster care. If you had told me three years ago when Homeland first revealed that Carrie was pregnant that I would be this invested in a storyline focusing on her daughter, I wouldn’t have believed you, but every Frannie- centric part of “Imminent Risk” is an emotional gut punch, as we see the pain, fear, and utter hopelessness that Carrie experiences because of Dar’s input.
And perhaps the worst part about it is that Carrie has no idea that Dar is the one pulling the strings; she just believes she’s been dealt a terrible hand, which is why she finds herself drinking and calling Keane to ask for help in her moment of despair. While Saul’s path to taking down Dar Adal seems to clearly be headed towards Keane, Carrie remains a wild card until she finally puts the pieces together and connects Dar with the explosion in New York and Sekou’s death.
If there’s one thing to complain about in “Imminent Risk” and Season 6 as a whole, it’s been the lack of contact between Carrie and Saul; the two of them have only shared one scene together this season, and one can only hope that their current goals lead them on a collision course. Homeland is always at its best with Carrie and Saul are working together, and there hasn’t been nearly enough of that this season. And what about Carrie’s other ally, Mr.

Peter Quinn? Well, thanks to Dar’s influence again, it looks like Quinn and Carrie might not be as friendly as they once were, as Dar tells Quinn that Carrie is responsible for his current state because she chose to woke him up from his coma despite all the risks that the doctors warned her about. We also discover that Astrid broke Quinn out the mental hospital last episode on Dar’s orders, and that Quinn staying out of sight and out of mind is part of some type of deal Dar struck to keep him out of jail and the hospital. It’s also clearly another move by Dar to try to keep the cover- up behind the bombing a secret. Quinn and Carrie were closing in on the truth, but if the two of them are separated, and worse if the two of them don’t trust each other, then who will be able to figure out that Dar is truly the one responsible? Hopefully, one of them can realize sooner or later that Dar’s the puppet master controlling everything and ensure that he faces the harsh consequences that he deserves for the crimes that he has committed.
Other thoughts: Very interesting conversation between Quinn and Dar Adal at the end there. Did Homeland just confirm that Dar is gay during that scene, and did the show also suggest that he might be attracted to or have some type of feelings for Quinn? Keane continues to talk about her son publicly in this week’s episode, and this time, it’s during a live, on- air interview that Dar and his colleague (played by Robert Knepper) watch while in a bar. How much damage did Carrie do to her relationship with Keane during their phone call? Carrie asking the President- elect for help, even for something that she calls “unethical,” doesn’t seem too unforgivable, but bringing up Keane’s dead son in the manner that she did might cause the soon- to- be president to put some distance between them. What did everyone else think about this week’s episode of Homeland, and what are your thoughts on Season 6 as a whole since we’re past the halfway point of the season now?

The Final Sit- Down; Dedicated To Big Ang #Mob. Wives. What the hell, VH1? Were you trying to start a total riot among the Mob Wives on last night’s reunion?
Before the final sit- down can begin, the producers decide to show unseen footage from the last six seasons in order to rile up all the women. Karen Gravano is so enraged that I can barely make out a single word coming out of her mouth due to all the bleeping. Carla Facciolo finds Drita D’avanzo’s outtakes to be “sad lies,” and Renee Graziano questions whether she appears as angry on on- screen as Drita. Yes, she does. Drita opines about how the show was supposed to be about a great group of friends and women empowering women. Um, she knew this was going to be aired on VH1, right?
The set is staged as if the women are back at the warehouse meeting that Big Ang called earlier this season. Karen and Renee are first to be seated and they remember their initial animosity in the early seasons. I think it has something to do with rats and mobsters, but I can’t be sure. At least they’re cool now though, right? CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE! I am sure she’s thrilled with how her friends are acting. Ang arrives with her trademark giant smile and we’re treated to her casting video where she waxes poetic about wise guys.
Karen touts Ang as changing the dynamic of the group by coming in as the peacemaker. Amen to that. When Ang’s beef with Renee is highlighted (her only fight ever on the show), Renee tells Ang that Drita instigated the entire situation.
Back at the holding area, producers encourage Drita to watch the unseen footage as well as the live feed of what the ladies are saying in the warehouse. She refuses, saying she just wants to see Karen face- to- face. Carla is next to join the crew, and the women discuss the season two drama when Renee. Karen finds it silly that they are recalling things that seem so petty when Ang is fighting for her life. Ang hugs her cohorts and leaves. The producers then inform the women that Drita is now listening to everything they are saying while she’s getting ready. Let’s talk about the recent fights, okay?
As Karen goes off, Drita fumes and storms off to find the women. Drita threatens the camera crew as everyone scurries around. Why do they seem so shocked that Drita is on a rampage? Without further ado, Drita is escorted to the warehouse, and true to her word, she’s not sitting down with her former friends. She goes in swinging after Karen.
Why did she bother with hair and make- up? Carla isn’t able to get out of the way in time.
As usual, the ladies are pulled apart. Drita is being physically restrained, but Karen stands in the corner laughing and taunting. Renee is confused. When Drita starts in on Karen’s ex, Karen loses it and is carried off repeating the “p” word over and over. When did it become okay to say that word on television unless it was in a cat litter commercial? Drita calms down as Karen watches from behind the scenes.
Carla accuses Drita of belittling her and basically calling her a sidekick, but Drita denies it. Drita promises she will keep her cool around Karen as long as Karen refrains from talking about her husband. Renee reminds Drita that they all talked smack about each other and their families, and Drita denies it. She’s faced with never aired footage of her trashing Karen’s dad, and she threatens to leave. Perhaps Drita should have taken a gander at what the producers tried to show her while she prepared to fight. The tiny producer comes in with his stern parent voice and informs the ladies that they are going to stay seated and have a conversation. Karen returns, but she doesn’t need to be escorted in because everyone is going to remain calm.
He’s like the cray whisperer. The producer coordinates security with the camera angles before Karen saunters up to the table. Drita asks why Karen is so furious, and Karen states–yet again–that Drita was bad- mouthing her father and saying Karen shouldn’t be on the show when she returned in the fifth season. Drita demands to know who is filling Karen’s head with such nonsense. How many times does it need to be spelled out for Drita?
It’s captured on camera! Watch Spider`S Web Online. Drita changes her story to say that she didn’t mind Karen being on the show–she just didn’t want to film with her because Karen has a nasty habit of bringing men into the women’s drama. As quickly as their conversation started, it ends with Drita complaining about it being too cold in the warehouse.
Tiny producer agrees. They are going to blast the heat for a few minutes, bring in newbie Marissa Jade for a soundbite, and call it a day. I am so confused. The newbies are introduced at the tail- end of this “reunion.” Marissa is there to clarify who was mouthing off about the men. Marissa assures Drita that Karen never spoke ill of Lee, but she still refuses to say who started the rumor.
Renee believes that Drita jumped to conclusions about Karen due to their volatile history. Drita concedes that may be the case, and she and Karen agree that their relationship is irreparable, but they can be in the same room without trying to murder the other. Brittany Fogarty struts in, late to the game, and Renee explains the rules of the sit- down.
Each lady is being permitted to calmly say her peace about her co- stars. Oh, is that what’s happening? Brittany accuses Renee of judging her unfairly because her father was considered a rat. Renee agrees, but it is what it is, and she’s trying to change. As Renee yells, it’s clear that they didn’t blast the heat for long enough.
The women’s furs are on- and- off- on- and- off, much like these chicks’ friendships. As Brittany and Marissa start to squabble, the producer interrupts. Can the newbies just talk about their brief time on the show so he can call it a day? Marissa cracks jokes about how angry this group of women can be and Brittany asks them not to kill each other after the newbies’ exit.
Is everyone actually laughing? When the original four are left, the women discuss the biggest fight of the season, Ang’s battle with cancer.
They decide to put their differences aside to make sure that Ang knows they are there to support her. And just like that, I’m in tears yet again. TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE FINAL SIT- DOWN?
