Showtime teases of "Homeland" Season 4 Episode 3 ("About a Boy"): "Carrie tries to earn a frightened asset's trust; Saul spots a familiar face on his way out of town; Quinn and Fara stake out a new suspect."
The creative team of the show has revealed that after Brody's demise, the show will no longer have a male lead. “I think that is all going to squarely land on Claire Danes’ shoulders now,” said showrunner Alex Gansa to TVGuide. “It’s really her show, and where Peter Quinn fits into that, where Fara fits into that, and where Saul fits into that is going to be a process of discovery.”
That said, Quinn has managed to make a lasting impression and may be the potential new lead. There is a romantic connection with Carrie and Quinn — that part is for sure. “I think if there is romantic energy between them it’s at a very nascent state,” said Gansa to TVLine about Quinn and Carrie's chemistry. “Carrie’s emotions have been engaged elsewhere, so it’s unclear how she feels about him. I think it’s pretty clear how he feels about her. But whether Carrie Mathison is going to be emotionally available for a romantic entanglement is another question entirely.”
Will Quinn be the new lead? Nothing is being said regarding his character's time on the show, raising the question: Will Quinn be killed off? It is entirely possible. Gansa spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the new story archs and it seems that danger is everywhere. Gansa stated: "It’s about seeing Carrie Mathison for the first time doing the job she was trained to do — being a case officer in a foreign capital. We’re going to see what an intelligence officer does on the ground. How she recruits assets, how she deals with the foreign government and her country team — the people she works with in the embassy — and the host country’s intelligence services. That is a complicated and murky world, one that we hope is filled with intrigue and drama and adventure."
