Best season finale ever!

Warning: Spoilers
I just rewatched this season and still think this is the greatest episode in any TV show ever written.

It is genius on so many levels. It teases the viewer to feel with the "bad guys" and triggering almost unbearable suspension not once, but a second time a few minutes later.

It shows the moral dilemma in which even character end up and gives solid reasoning why they sometimes choose morally wrong options.

I wish I just once had the willpower of the writers to resist the obvious moments for the hardest cliffhangers ever.

Instead they use the rest of the episode to emphasize how much better than all other agents Carrie is. She actually finds the only solution to stop the attack and no one will ever know. Including herself!

Amazing acting from Damian Lewis as well. Definitely catching up to Claire's performance and the manic Carrie.
