Showtime's “Homeland” season two trailer is full of teasing hints and clues for Carrie's (Claire Danes) path to the embedded terrorist.

The first season of “Homeland” was masterful, winning awards and reaping high praise for Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and Mandy Patinkin, but it left fans wondering–where can Carrie go from electro-shock therapy?

The new trailer offers some clues, but with only images.

In a press release, Showtime said this about the new season: “As we begin season two, Carrie is no longer with the Agency. The disgraced ex-officer is on the slow path to recovery, after her manic flight in season one nearly crashed Brody’s political career…Meanwhile, Brody is several months into his inaugural term as a freshman Congressman, and finds himself buffeted daily by competing agendas. With every lie he tells, the walls around him close in a little tighter…”

“Homeland” returns to Showtime on Sept. 30.
