Fix Square

After Carter’s death Reese heads over to his father’s old watering hole in Colorado. Fusco tracks him down to try to talk him to coming back. Finch is reluctant in accepting new numbers from the machine after it failed to warn them of Carter’s death on time. But after reluctantly getting information on the new number, he realized that it belongs to his old colleague in MIT Arthur Claypool. He learns that Arthur has brain tumors and has been having memory lapse. He is guarded by government agents trying to keep information going to the wrong hands about a machine called Samaritan that he created which is similar to what Harold created.

Fusco is still trying to convince Reese to return to New York. Reese was persistent and was not willing to come with Finch. They started fighting and moments later they were arrested by the police.

With the help of only Shaw he tracks down Claypool and save him and his wife from a group called vigilance who intends to use the machine for their benefit. Later Claypool informs Harold that his wife has been dead for two years. The person posing as his wife is “Control”. She is Shaw’s former boss. 

After the winning the war against HR everyone thought that they would easier for Reese and the gang to do their work. But the threat from the Government and Vigilance is much alive. Reese still has not come to terms with Carter’s death. He is blaming the machine for not warning them in time. Now that the government has identified Finch, it would be a difficult for him to operate.

At the end of the previous episode, Shaw, Arthur and Finch were held at gunpoint for information about Samaritan or the machine that Harold created. Whoever leads them to the machine that they created first would live. Shaw was about to be shot as she was deemed useless. Root comes in to the room and started shooting. They were able to escape but Root got shot and was eventually captured.

Finch then learns that Arthur has kept copies of Samaritan in a safety deposit box. As they were about to retrieve it, Collier’s group came to the bank and staged a bank robbery. Finch then locks himself, Arthur and the bank manager inside the vault to prevent Collier from getting the drives.

Root is being tortured for information but got the knife in Control’s pocket. At the opportune moment, she cuts hear restrains loose and held control hostage. She eventually let her go and threatened to kill her family if they continue pursuing them. The bank vault was blown and Collier was able to get inside. But before doing so, Arthur has destroyed the drives. They were saved by Reese and Fusco dressed up in a tactical unit’s uniform.

Root then calls Harold informing him that the drives were swap by the person posing as a bank manager. The real bank manager was found dead. The bank manager then surrenders the drive to Greer from Decima Technologies. Right after he killed the “Bank manager”. Root assures Harold that she would take care of the retrieval of the drives. Reese then informed Harold that he is not coming back to work for him. Clearly he still hasn’t gotten over the fact that the machine failed to warn them on time. 

The problem with the government might have solved for now. They have bigger problems to worry about. Vigilance and Decima Technologies are two issues on top of their list. Or is it possible that they are working together. Now that they have lost Carter, it will be more difficult to do their job. Reese is not willing to work with the machine. Root could have proved useful but is not trying to track down the Samaritan Drives. Will they start recruited for their group? What are your thoughts on Aletheia?

Reese is still convince in leaving New York and books an international flight. Last minute changes were made on his itinerary. The machine was trying to put Reese on a specific flight to avert a threat. He was instructed to check out the passenger on 4C. He learns that the passenger is being transported by US Marshall. He is linked to an online drug syndicate. He calls Finch and told him that he was not happy about being put in a plane for a mission. Harold assures Reese that he doesn’t have anything to do with.

He then learns that he doesn’t just maintain the website but he is the person who created the whole Idea and is the person called the Sphinx. With the help of flight stewardess, he neutralized the threat from several assassins trying to kill the prisoner. Finch was then forced to hack the aircrafts control and tried to land the passenger plane. 

Later Finch meets up with Reese. Reese then became convince to return to New York to help out Finch. Before leaving he intended to get a new suit.

Now that Reese is back on the team what will challenges would they face next. The threat from Vigilance and Decima Technology is still very much alive. The government seem to have backed off for now but we should expect they will come after the team really soon. Root is still the Wild Card. Finch and Reese clearly doesn’t trust her but so far she has been nothing but helpful. Will Root become a permanent part of the group or will she stay solo? It is unclear were here loyalty lies. She would definitely protect the machine no matter what the cost.

Person of interest returns on Feb 4, 2014. What are your thoughts on 4C?

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?

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”?
