hacker in a seedy subplot that stretches credulity but is carried off with aplomb by Claire Danes." There was some criticism regarding Carrie's main arc being of questionable import. Scott Von Doviak of The A.V. Club' gave the episode a "B−" grade, concluding about Carrie's arc "What follows is suspenseful enough as far as it goes, mainly because director Lesli Linka Glatter is a pro... but it’s hard to shake off the feeling that it’s all completely unnecessary". Entertainment Weekly's Shirley Li also rated the episode a B- and had a similar thesis: "it’s great to see Carrie back in action, and yes, she could use a W after all of that, but was all of that really necessary? Did that bring us any closer to this season’s endgame?". Ratings The original broadcast was watched by 1.12 million viewers.
