Showtime has released a super exciting recap/teaser for Season 2 of Homeland. Showrunner Alex Gansa also met with TVLine for some intel on the shows highly anticipated second season which is still 5 months away (Sept 30).

The episode title is “Let The Bad Times Roll” and according to ABC’s synopsis of the episode, the Seattle Grace residents agonize over their oral boards, reliving every answer they gave during their exams … and Catherine (recurring guest star Debbie Allen) tells Richard that one of his residents has failed!
