A brief synopsis of the last season and where we are......
“Homeland” (Showtime)
PREMIERE DATE: Sunday, Sept. 29 at 9/8c (new time)
STARS: Claire Danes as Carrie Mathison, Damian Lewis as Nicholas “Nick” Brody, Morena Baccarin as Jessica Brody, Rupert Friend as Peter Quinn, Morgan Saylor as Dana Brody, Jackson Pace as Chris Brody, Sarita Choudhury as Mira Berenson, Tracy Letts as Senator Andrew Lockhart, F. Murray Abraham as Dar Adal, and Mandy Patinkin as Saul Berenson
WHERE WE LEFT OFF: The CIA is hit with a terrorist attack during a memorial service for Vice President Walden (Jamey Sheridan) killing the Vice President’s family and CIA Director David Estes (David Harewood). Peter Quinn didn’t kill Brody when he had the chance. The video of Brody’s confession from season one is released to the public and now everyone believes Brody is behind the attack. Carrie drops Brody at the Canadian border but does not join him in his escape.
WHAT’S NEXT: Brody’s family must deal with the repercussions of their husband and father being a terrorist. The entire CIA is under investigation for their involvement with Brody. And Carrie is off her meds – again. In addition to the several new faces in the regular cast (including playwriting Tracy Letts), Nazanin Boniadi (“How I Met Your Mother”) guests as a CIA analyst and Sam Underwood (“Dexter”) is a love interest for Dana.
FUN FACT: Brody is MIA in the first two episodes but don’t fret Damian Lewis is still on the series. Lewis told television critics last month that the big question is, “When you do see Brody is what state will he be in?”

Interesting season 3 opener with so many things revealed
Here is a recap of last night's episode
'Homeland' Season 3 premiere recap: 'Tin Man Is Down,' and so is Carrie
By Terri Schwartz Zap2it
Does "Homeland" work without Nicholas Brody? That's a concept the Season 3 premiere, "Tin Man Is Down," experiments with. It's been well documented that Brody was almost killed off twice during "Homeland's" two-season run, and though he will be returning in the upcoming episode 3, the Showtime series' third season premiere proved it can still stand on its own two legs without its leading man.
But just because Brody isn't in Season 3's premiere doesn't mean that his presence isn't felt. A Senate committee has been organized to get to the bottom of the bombing at Langley, which means that Carrie Mathison needs to cover for both her departed love and for her CIA superiors. That puts her in the crossfires in a way viewers haven't seen before, and she ends up being screwed over by both sets of lies she tells.
In place of the drama between Carrie and Brody, the source of conflict in this episode came between Carrie and Saul. Saul has acted as Carrie's mentor and father figure for the past two seasons of the show, but now that he's in a position of unstable power as the head of the CIA, he is quick to throw Carrie under the bus.
Part of that is pushed into motion by Dar Adal, who makes it clear from the get-go of Season 3 that he thinks Carrie has got to go. Whether he is the person who leaked the story of her relationship with Brody to the press or someone else, it was Saul who ultimately betrayed her by making her bipolar disorder and "unstable" condition public in a televised meeting with the Senate committee.
So basically no one is happy in the Season 3 opener, and it looks like it's going to remain that way for a while. Carrie is off her meds and wracked with guilt over the Langley attack, and the betrayal from Saul looks like it will set her off on a new downward spiral. But perhaps the most tragic storyline in "Tin Man Is Down" is the reveal that Dana Brody tried to commit suicide during the 58 days since the attack on the CIA that resulted in the death of her ex-boyfriend and the reveal that her father was a terrorist. A doctor on her case says she was determined to see the job through, though she was ultimately rescued and sent to a rehabilitation center.
With the public knowing about Nick's dark turn, the Brodys have never been in a worse situation. The Marine Corps has turned its back on the family, leaving Jessica with no support and no income. Tack onto that a troubled daughter (who continues to showcase her rebellion by sending illicit topless picture to her boyfriend from rehab) and things aren't looking good for the family.
Then there's Peter Quinn, who is still an elite assassin for the CIA. He does what he is best at in this episode: killing the bad guys for the sake of national security. But during an operation Saul orchestrates to take down six terrorists who work under Big Bad Javati (the man supposedly behind the Brody car bomb in the Season 2 finale), Quinn accidentally kills a child. Will this be the last straw for Quinn, who made it clear he wasn't okay with the CIA's brand of justice in Season 2? Only time will tell.
Wherever "Homeland" goes from here, it clearly has legs to stand on without Nicholas Brody. But even with that being said, it will be nice to have him back in episode 3. How does he continue to fit into this show's larger picture? Can he clear his name, if he is in fact innocent of the attack on Langley? Is there any hope to a happy ending for him, with or without Carrie? These are the big questions that the premiere continues to leave unanswered, even as new drama and threats swirl around the central characters present.

Saw the first episode. Homeland without Brody is a bit strange but I see the buildup of the story. Have to wait for episode 3 to see Brody. Well...

Yes, he's a white black ops agent...
Quinn was hired by David Estes to assassinate Brody when the team no longer needed his assistance in finding and killing or capturing Abu Nazir. David Estes gave him the order to kill Brody but he decided not to as it would hurt Carrie. He also found out that Estes just wanted to get rid of Brody to cover his own back because he didn't believe Carrie when she attempted to link Brody to Abu Nazir and told Estes that if Brody was killed, he would be killed as well.

I remember all of that. I was confused when you said he was a black ops agent. Does that mean he does all the dirty work as we saw in episode one of season 3

3rd episode and we finally see a bald Brody. I would have preferred the story line to move faster as the suspense and the questions are gripping me. 
9 more episodes. So short for a season for a story like this.
