While it's hard to root for Carrie at this point, "From A to B and Back Again" was an exciting hour that gave one storyline a satisfying end, while setting up the second half of the season.

Ultimately, the strength of "From A to B and Back Again" stemmed not so much from that shocking head shot -- a moment of violence made even more devastating by its emotional stakes -- but in the questions it raised about Carrie's priorities. Go to Full Review Josh Modell AV Club 12/21/2014
For the whole Aayan story to have essentially been a runaround -- taking us from A to B and back again -- seems like a bit of a cheat. Go to Full Review Ethan Sacks New York Daily News 12/21/2014
Every week it becomes increasingly harder to root for her. That she was willing to sacrifice Saul without even blinking destroys whatever empathy she had left after seducing Aayan and berating Fara. Have the writers painted themselves into a corner? Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/06/2018
We were meant to be horrified, we think. But we're getting tired of no one ever allowing Carrie her victories or acknowledging the ways in which she's brilliant. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 12/21/2014
"From A to B and Back Again" may be the most satisfying episode since the season 3 premiere. Go to Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic 12/21/2014
It was a fairly fast and furious hour. Carrie was all business (after the disgusting kisses) with Aayan as she was ready to get him to "London." Go to Full Review Read all reviews
