“An American prisoner has been turned.”
Showtime’s Homeland is similar in vein to Sleeper Cell except it takes more cues from The Manchurian Candidate than anything else.

“Thank you, I think you just saved my life.”
Looks like Irene ate my post, so let’s try this again.
Episode 8 of the split season picks up with the Doctor and Co on the continued task to track down baby Melinda after she was abducted as a child at the end of Episode Seven and trained as we find out later to kill the doctor.

“Reverse the polarity of the jelly baby.”
Overall, it was a good ending for a two parter. People were saved, people died. Multiple Doctors with multiple voice overs.

Since BBC did not show the previews for next week and since anyone in the USA cannot see the mini eps before next week:
