Season 7

Complete listed story — includes the ending

1. Enemy of the State

Carrie and Franny are living in Washington, D.C., with Carrie's sister Maggie and her family. Carrie has left her job at the White House and is actively working to secure the release of 200 federal employees Keane has arrested since her inauguration. She plots to arrange a meeting between Dante Allen, her contact at the FBI, and Senator Sam Paley, hoping to get Dante to testify in Paley's Congressional investigation into Keane's misconduct, but Dante refuses to speak with him. Maggie is furious when she learns that Carrie involved Maggie's teenage daughter, Josie, in her scheme and that Josie left Franny alone with her boyfriend. Saul is still in federal prison; David Wellington, Keane's chief of staff, offers him the position of National Security Advisor, but he says he will accept it only if the 200 imprisoned federal employees are released. Carrie has Max install surveillance on Wellington. Keane is incensed when a military tribunal sentences General Jamie McClendon, who spearheaded the conspiracy to assassinate her, to life in prison rather than to death; she tells Wellington she will find someone to "fix" the situation. McClendon dies in custody after being poisoned.

2. Rebel Rebel

Carrie spots an unknown woman entering Wellington's apartment on a surveillance camera. Dante refuses to help her, so she posts a screenshot of the woman on a 4chan thread in an attempt to identify her, but is tricked by a hacker into downloading a virus that encrypts her hard drive with ransomware. Carrie uses sex to lure the hacker to a face-to-face and beats him until he unlocks her computer, threatening to kill him if he ever tries anything else. Brett O'Keefe, now a fugitive, takes shelter in Lucasville, Ohio with the staunchly right-wing Elkins family and makes a broadcast accusing Keane of arranging McClendon's death. In an effort to mend public perception, Wellington convinces Keane to release the 200 arrested federal employees and appoint Saul as National Security Advisor. Wellington places Saul in charge of the manhunt for O'Keefe. Saul identifies O'Keefe's location.

3. Standoff

Carrie's psychiatrist confirms that her medication is no longer working and prescribes a new treatment. Dante arrives at her house while she is heavily sedated; he identifies the woman in Wellington's apartment as Simone Martin, Wellington's girlfriend, and tells Carrie that Simone received a parking ticket close to McClendon's prison the day before McClendon died. Carrie breaks into Simone's apartment and collects evidence, but is arrested by police outside after neighbors report the break-in; Dante pulls strings to get her released and to have the arrest expunged from the record. Saul arrives at the Elkins' property with FBI agents and attempts to negotiate with O'Keefe. However, the family calls in armed reinforcements, leading to a standoff with the FBI. Realizing that the White House is losing control of the O'Keefe situation and needs to change the narrative, Wellington authorizes an airstrike on a Syrian weapons convoy that Keane has rejected, falsely claiming to now have her approval.

4. Like Bad at Things

Keane visits Wellington, and Carrie overhears him telling Keane it was he who authorized the airstrike. With Max's assistance, Carrie continues her investigation into Simone's movements. Maggie, upset that Carrie is not following her new treatment plan, forces her to take her medication; she goes to a friend to obtain other drugs to help her keep alert. Carrie recruits Dante to help her prove that Simone was working for Wellington when she made suspicious withdrawals totalling $50,000. Saul and O'Keefe lose control of the situation on the Elkins' property. The Elkins' teenage son J.J. is shot by an FBI patrol, and an FBI agent is taken hostage in retaliation. Paramedics are allowed to take J.J. to a hospital, where a man takes photos that are leaked to the press as evidence that J.J. is dead. Saul calls O'Keefe to warn him that the report is false, but O'Keefe does not pass this information on and J.J.'s father, enraged by the news, executes the captive FBI agent. An ensuing firefight results in several casualties, largely on the Elkins' side. O'Keefe survives and is taken into custody.

5. Active Measures

Amid concern over possible violence at an upcoming memorial for victims of the Lucasville massacre organized by people from there, Keane urges the wives of slain FBI agents to attend it. The event ultimately proceeds without incident after Mrs. Elkins welcomes the three women to the service. The result is a public relations victory for Keane. Saul visits Ivan Krupin in witness protection and presents his theory that Russian operative Yevgeny Gromov was responsible for the fake news story that sparked the Lucasville shootout, but Krupin says it is doubtful. Carrie assembles a team of former CIA colleagues, along with Dante and Max, to try to connect Wellington to McClendon's murder. Three team members, posing as the prison guards who received the payoff, force Simone to confirm that the $50,000 was a payment for the murder and demand that she get them an additional $100,000. Carrie expects that Simone will report this to Wellington, her presumed handler, but when she immediately goes to see him she says nothing about it.

6. Species Jump

Saul sets up a team to find Yevgeny. Simone is subpoenaed by Senator Paley's subcommittee; at a proffer session, she requests immunity in exchange for naming the individual who ordered her to deliver the $50,000. Carrie realizes that Simone plans to implicate Wellington, who Carrie now believes is innocent; she explains the situation to Saul, who helps her realize that Dante is likely setting her up and tells her Dante may be part of a Russian conspiracy to link McClendon's death to the White House. Carrie drugs Dante and has the rest of her team search his apartment while he is unconscious. Saul learns that a viral video of Wellington confronting Simone was disseminated by the same social media network that planted the fake story about J.J. Elkins, which leads him to believe the network is linked to Yevgeny. Ivan evades his FBI protection; after confronting Yevgeny, he asks Saul for a meeting, but when Saul reaches the meeting place, Ivan is no longer there, having been abducted by Yevgeny, who has him drowned.

7. Andante

Saul informs Wellington that Simone is a Russian agent and that she intends to implicate him in the conspiracy to murder McClendon. A stunned Wellington sends a letter of resignation to Keane, who refuses it. Saul forces Max to join his task force; they identify five occasions when Dante and Simone concurrently traveled to the same European cities, and Saul decides to pursue Dante. Carrie has an argument with Maggie and leaves the house with Franny; Dante allows them to stay with him at his apartment. Carrie tracks down Dante's ex-wife, who tells her that their marriage broke down due to Dante's resentment towards Carrie after being sent home in disgrace from Kabul four years earlier. Dante visits Maggie's house under the guise of collecting Franny's belongings and finds evidence that Carrie has compiled on him; as well, his ex-wife tells him about Carrie's visit. He confronts Carrie at his apartment that night about her discussion with his ex-wife, which leads to them having sex, but they are interrupted when Saul's team charge in and arrest Dante.

8. Lies, Amplifiers, F**king Twitter

Carrie convinces Saul to let her interrogate Dante; she presents their evidence to him, but fails to get him to talk without a lawyer. She goes to speak with Maggie, who admonishes her over the trauma she has inflicted on Franny and gives her a choice between seeking treatment and giving up custody of Franny to Maggie. Keane, facing pressure to resign from Senator Paley, has Wellington warn Moscow that the U.S. will treat Simone's testimony as a hostile act. The Russian ambassador notifies Yevgeny, whose team extracts Simone (who is revealed to be his lover) from the safehouse where Paley is keeping her. Carrie and Saul have an agent posing as a lawyer poison Dante using ink from a pen he was given to sign paperwork; before entering cardiac arrest, Dante, believing the Russians have poisoned him, says to Carrie that Simone told him the Russians poisoned McClendon. Saul and Carrie learn that Simone has escaped, leaving Dante (whose survival is in question) as their only witness.

9. Useful Idiot

Saul and Wellington meet with Senator Paley and convince him of the Russians' subterfuge, including Paley's own unwitting role. In a hospital, Dante tells Carrie he will cooperate by confirming he and Simone were Russian assets; he informs her that the Russians have a secret Twitter code that would alert Yevgeny's agents to dissolve their network. Saul's team deploy the Twitter code to identify other members of the network; on being informed that the code has been deployed, Yevgeny realizes that Dante is cooperating with the authorities, and defies his handlers by tracking Dante down at the hospital. Carrie learns from Maggie's husband, Bill, that Maggie is consulting a lawyer about taking custody of Franny; she races to Franny's school to leave with her. Dante calls Carrie and warns her that Yevgeny is in his hospital room; she rushes to save him, nearly hitting a frantic Franny with her car as she leaves the school. She arrives at the hospital only to learn that Dante is already dead, and suffers a severe psychotic break triggered by the shock of nearly killing her own daughter.

10. Clarity

Following Dante's death, Paley changes his mind and pushes to obtain the votes of enough members of Keane's Cabinet to invoke the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution and have her removed from office; Keane pre-emptively fires four Cabinet secretaries she distrusts. When Keane refuses to reverse her decision, Vice President Ralph Warner tells her he will present the Senate with a document declaring Keane unfit for office. Carrie undergoes another round of electroconvulsive therapy following her psychotic episode in the hospital. With Dante dead, Saul makes plans to exfiltrate Simone from Russia and requests Carrie's help in overseeing the mission. Carrie declines because she needs to change her life to be able to keep Franny. At a custody hearing the next day, Maggie testifies that Carrie is incapable of providing Franny with a stable home environment. Carrie decides to give up the custody battle and accepts a visitation agreement granting her access to Franny every other weekend. She takes up Saul's offer to lead the Russia operation.

11. All In

Senator Paley visits Dar Adal in jail for insight on Saul's motives in Russia; Dar tells him Saul must be running a covert operation there. Paley's chief of staff learns that Simone is still alive and, when Paley balks at doing so, tells the Russian ambassador about Saul's intention to extract her. In Moscow, Saul and Carrie sit down with SVR and GRU representatives, including Yevgeny, as a ruse to lure Yevgeny away from Simone. As they speak, Carrie's special ops team storms Simone's safehouse, only to be ambushed by armed guards. Carrie devises an alternative plan: confiscate $300M hidden in U.S. banks by SVR General Yakushin, and use it to leverage him into finding Simone. Yakushin reacts by sending an armed battalion to GRU headquarters, where Simone has been moved, sparking chaos on the streets. Carrie tells Simone she is now expendable to Yevgeny and convinces her she needs to leave Russia. Carrie and Simone wear wigs matching each other's hair and escape in separate cars; Yevgeny identifies Carrie's car as the one carrying Simone. In Washington, Warner relieves Keane of her command.

12. Paean to the People

Carrie diverts the Russians long enough for Saul and his team to reach the airport with Simone, but they are blocked from entering it. Warner, aware of Saul's mission and over Paley's objection, intervenes to have the Russian government let them go; they depart for the U.S. having no choice but to leave without Carrie, who is captured by Yevgeny. Simone testifies in Congress and confirms that the GRU plotted to sabotage the Keane administration; Paley is arrested as a conspirator. Keane is reinstated as President, but in her first public address, she speaks of the divisions in the country and announces that she will be resigning in favor of Warner, because she feels she has become part of the problem. Yevgeny threatens to withhold Carrie's medication unless she makes a statement that the CIA was responsible for the entire crisis, but she refuses. Seven months later, Saul secures Carrie's release in exchange for several Russian prisoners. When he receives her, he finds Carrie in severe delirium after all this time without her medication.
