Fix Square

A grief stricken Reese hunts down Officer Simmons for killing his friend Joss Carter. Reese himself was shot and is badly injured. On the Manhunt as well, Shaw is also trying to track Simmons by herself. Worried about Reese who is badly injured and Shaw going on a savage manhunt as well, Finch talks to Fusco for help in tracking down both Reese and Shaw before they end up hurting more people and Reese ending up dead.

Simmons plans to leave the country using forged papers. Reese tracks down the forgers but was unable to get the location of Simmons. Shaw tracks down one of the associate of the people that Reese just attacked but was unable to get any information.


Finch was left with no choice but to ask the help of Root to find Reese. Reese was going after Alonzo Quinn to find out about Simmons’ exit strategy. He raided a building full of U.S. Marshall agents and was able to find Quinn. At first Quinn was reluctant to help Reese but after learning that Reese plans to kill him whether he divulge Simmons’ location or not he eventually gave him the location where Simmons could be found. Reese was about to kill Quinn and despite Finch’s statement he went on and pulled the trigger. Fortunately for Quinn, Reese is out of Bullets.

Finch, Shaw and Root took Reese back to Finch’s hideout and attended to his wounds while Fusco stayed behind for the FBI to arrive to turn over Quinn. Fusco learns of the Simmons’ location and takes him down. He surrendered Simmons to the Police and then he was treated for his wounds.

Elias is waiting in Simmons’ hospital room waiting for him to wake up. Elias explained that he has a debt to repay to Carter. Elias has offered several time to kill Simmons but Carter would not allow it. Elias then watch as his associate kill Simmons.

Root is back in the Library. Finch is still skeptical and does not trust Root. Root told him that they would face a bigger problem and that she prefers that they work together when it finally comes.

This is a very emotional episode. Even Shaw who is reluctant to let her feeling cloud her decision is full of anger and was as out of control as Reese. Kudos to Jim Caviezel. He played his role masterfully. The episode really gave the death of Joss Carter meaning. The question now is would Reese still be the same calm badass as he usually was. Or would he be filled with hate now that Carter is gone. Carter was his moral compass in a way. Would he be more like Shaw now?

What is this problem that Root keeps on talking about? Now that HR is gone, the only major players now are Elias and the Russians. Would the government now give them problems or would the organization who wanted to claim the machine in the previous season be a bigger threat?

What are your thoughts on Devil’s Share?

In the previous episode, Joss and Reese abducted Quinn and was taking him to the FBI. Problem is Reese’s picture was captured and HR has sent it out to all of its members and all the gangs in New York.  With all the gangs and HR closing in, they had great difficulty in reaching the FBIs.

Fusco and Shaw were helping them in sidelines. Unfortunately Fusco was captured by Simmons along with the key to safety deposit box that Carter entrusted to him. Simmons threatened to kill Fusco’s son if he did not give the location of the box. Fortunately Shaw was able to get to Fusco’s son on time. Fusco then got an opportunity to escape and was able to kill his capture.

Carter and Reese were just a few blocks away from the FBI building when a gang saw them. They had to take refuge in a City Morgue. Trapped and were outnumbered by HRs men, Reese plans to sacrificed himself to save Carter. Fortunately Reese was able to neutralize all the threats but was captured by the Police.

Carter was then made detective and released Reese from Police Custody. Outside the precinct, Finch arrived to fetch Reese. The phone rings but Finch was reluctant to answer it. Then Simmons appears and shoots Reese and Carter. Both were badly shot but Carter’s injuries were fatal.

This is a game changer for the show. Carter was the moral compass of Reese. He does listen to Finch but listens more to Carter. Reese has stated that he wanted to end his life but Carter was able to save him from himself. Now that Carter is gone and Quinn is in custody, a power shift among the Crime organization in New York would definitely happen.

The death of Carter is a shock to the show’s fan. It’s great to know that they still have stories that would still shock their viewers. What are your thoughts on “The crossing”?
