In season four, the story involved a Muslim American family, and the father and the mother—and the son—were party to a terror plot. It was sort of a purple conceit in a way.

It was from here that the idea of using split screens as an artistic element came into the series. 11983: 11967: 746:, delving into the private lives of the characters. As part of a recurring theme, characters are frequently confronted with ethical dilemmas.
