Only mercenaries working for Bote would be willing to go on a suicide / revenge mission against Pavlovich. Hopefully, Harold still has the phone number saved....

Wow. All the flavors of loneliness.
 

I’m still not completely convinced Angela/Emily/Parwana would have picked that hill to die on. Metaphorically speaking. But ok, loneliness, maybe.

I was moved to tears by Chase and Harper this episode. I am still confused bywhy Zoe is all ride or die, or ever was. Just like why I am confused as to why E/A/P just moved into a society which should show more systemic sexism (even if not the Taliban) and somehow becomes a leader. Also mildly confused about Abby. Was it live or a desire to have he daughter grow up with more freedom? Or what? May e I need to rewatch before the end, to see what I missed.

The Hamzad name was the antidote for sexism... Her mother and aunt were recognized as leaders. Even Omar avoided displaying overt sexism.

Yes but it seems wildly unrealistic to me. And why is Hamzad a leader in women’s rights?

Young Hamzad was a more progressive / liberal leader... he treated his wife and sister as strategic equals, accepted the CIA as an ally, sent his nephew away for a modern education ... Hamzad was no civil rights crusader, but was pragmatic enough to know that Talibanesque thinking was obsolete
