"At the beginning of the season, we find that Quinn's been in deepest, darkest Syria," Friend says in the video above.

Luckily, he's not totally alone, as he has apparently struck a "very special friendship" with Saul, who, in our opinion, is probably the best possible person to have a special friendship with on this show.

"There is no one on this planet that Saul would put more trust and faith in, than Peter Quinn," Patinkin says, in that very special Patinkin-y way that makes us wish we were the Peter Quinn he was talking about.

Not only do they have a special friendship, they have a special secret friendship!

"It's a bond that no one else can know about," Friend says, "I think at this point that suits Quinn very well."

Unfortunately, this doesn't bode too well for any sort of relationship between Carrie and Quinn, especially now that she's focusing more on being a mom.

As showrunner Meredith Stiehm told us back in March, it's going to take some time for Carrie and Quinn can work back up to where they were when season four ended.

"Carrie and Quinn have parted ways after they came together in the finale," Stiehm said. "Quinn was actually really ready to try things, but Carrie sabotaged it, and I think she regrets that. She tried to get him back and he was gone, so she knows she screwed that up. It's two years later, and they've both moved on to other things. But something's always in the air and when they cross paths again, we'll see what happens. I'm excited to see where their paths cross."

Yep, us too!
