The fact that Dar Adal was in the car with series bad guy Haqqani is dealt with in a brief conversation between Adal and Saul.
After a really good season this season finale proved to be quite disappointing; there was no resolution; just more questions being raised. I was so surprised I thought the announcer must have been wrong when he called it the season finale; surely it was just a mid-season break but no it is indeed the finale. It wasn't even an exciting episode; no sense of danger, just the sort of family drama I thought had been dispensed with when the Brody clan stopped featuring. Over all this was an okay TV episode but distinctly disappointing as an episode of 'Homeland'; doubly so as the season finale.
