Complete story — includes the ending

Brody records a video explaining his impending attack on the Vice President. The following day, Walden and other lawmakers convene at the State Department for a policy summit, which Brody attends while wearing the suicide vest. Walker snipes at the crowd and kills three people; Walden, Brody, Estes and others are ushered into a bunker. Carrie realizes that the shooting is a diversion to get the Vice President and other high-value targets in the same room as Brody, who is to carry out the actual attack. Carrie drives to the Brody household and frantically warns Dana about her father's plans. Brody, seconds from detonating the vest, relents upon hearing his daughter's pleas to come home. Brody secretly meets with Walker that night and tells Nazir over the phone that he can now act as al-Qaeda's mole inside the White House. Nazir has Brody kill Walker. Carrie decides to undergo electroconvulsive therapy for her bipolar disorder; right before she is rendered unconscious by her anesthesia, she remembers Brody calling out Issa's name in his sleep at the cabin, and realizes that the two had a connection.
