Person of Interest S4E04 - Brotherhood

At first this felt like the usual number-of-the-week episode, but in the end it has upped the game for this season. The first half wasn't exactly boring but it did leave me wanting something more from the episode and it wasn't until the last third that this started to feel really good. 

I did not expect to see the Brotherhood again, and I certainly did not expect the writers to reveal the identity of Dominic so soon, but it will be great to see how these characters will come to play this season. And looks like Dominic has been taking lessons from Elias on how to be a crime lord whose identity is known only by few. He seems smart and dangerous, so looks like the Team has a new threat to worry about it.

While the true identity of Dominic did surprise me, the fact that Agent Lennox turned out to be the mole was definitely not a surprise. That was straight out of the rulebook of narration devices. I was sure she was up to no good the moment she mentioned there was a mole in the DEA.

The story is very light on Fusco this week, but that is not a surprise considering he was the star last week. But it is always nice to see his snarky banter with John while he's complaining about paper work.

This is the second time that the team has lost the number-of-the-week to the enemy. Claire from 'Nautilus' was successfully recruited by Samaritan and the Brotherhood are very keen to recruit Malcolm so he is in big danger to go dark side. I wonder if this will happen more often this season. 

No Amy Acker this week, which is a shame, but Elias is back and it's awesome. It is always a treat to watch two kick-ass actors interact, and usually it's the scenes between Root and Harold that are the highlight of the episode for me. This week it's the scenes in the subway between Harold and Elias. Elias is starting to realise something is going on and knows that Harold is in on it. While Harold does not explain the situation, he does give Elias some pointers and this sets up an interesting future and potentially a much bigger role for Elias.
