Peter Quinn... Status: Alive, droppin' bodies The slow-burn, short-lived romance between Carrie and Quinn didn't even get going until the end of Season 4, and even then it barely went anywhere. But who knows! Maybe it'll all work out in Season 5 if Quinn gives up his day job as an assassin. We first meet Quinn in Season 2, when he joins the surveillance team that's watching Brody. Except Quinn is a black-ops agent, so his assignment was actually to kill Brody when the CIA got all they needed. Ultimately - because he's really just a teddy bear at heart - he refuses to do so. Quinn has a bunch of close calls throughout the next few seasons: he's shot in Episode 6 of Season 4; dodges bullets in the US embassy attack in Episode 10; and is talked out of assassinating Haqqani in Episode 11 (which would have lead to his own death, as well as Carrie's). In the finale, Quinn and Carrie finally get together on the day of her father's funeral, where they makeout against his pickup truck - of course he has a pickup truck - and he tries to convince her to leave the CIA and run away with him. but Carrie takes too long to decide whether or not she'll actually "fuck it all up." By the time she's ready to lock it down, Quinn has already left on yet another mission. Quinn shows up in the first episode of Season 5, though, so this could still happen. Maybe.
