Summary of Homeland Seasons 1-4 DVD Boxset

Carrie arrives late to a meeting at the CIA Counterterrorism Center, where she was re-assigned following the Iraqi prison incident. Director of Counterterrorism David Estes  announces that after a raid on an al-Qaeda compound, Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody has been rescued (an eight year prisoner of war who had been presumed dead). Carrie later confides in her co-worker and mentor, Saul Berenson, that what she was told by her informant in Iraq was that "An American prisoner of war has been turned." She concludes that the POW in question must be Brody. Saul flatly rejects the possibility of the CIA conducting any investigation into Brody, who is now a beloved war hero.

In flashback, Carrie Mathison is shown in Iraq, where she is working as a CIA case officer. She bribes her way into a prison, where one of her informants is being held - a bomb maker who is soon to be ex ecuted. As Carrie is spotted and dragged away by guards, the informant whispers something into her ear.

Jessica Brody , Nicholas' wife, is shown having sex with Mike Faber. Mike is later revealed to be Nick's best friend when he was captured, and a fellow Marine. Jessica is shocked to receive a phone call from Brody himself announcing his return, and she heads to the airport with their children, 16-year old Dana and 12-year old Chris, to greet him. While Brody is on his way home, Carrie is preparing to conduct her own unauthorized surveillance operation. She enlists her friend Virgil, an independent contractor, to install hidden cameras and microphones throughout Brody's house, which Carrie can monitor from home. They successfully complete the installation before Brody gets home. Carrie begins watching Brody's every move.
