Series one, episode 12
Matters of state and of the heart become inextricably linked in tonight’s penultimate episode, as Philip, smoothing the way for the biggest of professional asks, proposes to Martha. Naturally, he needs Elizabeth’s help and another humdinger of a disguise to pull it off. His estranged wife, meanwhile, finds herself confiding in an unlikely ally and Nina’s confidence in Stan starts to waver as she grows in seniority.

Most significant for the Jenningses, though, looks to be the crumbling resolve of Caspar Weinberger’s maid, who knows more about them than they may care to hope. Taut, unpredictable and just the right side of daft – those initial ‘Homeland’ comparisons are beginning to look a little ungenerous.
