Person of Interest S4E08 - Point of Origin

There is a lot going on this week and it is a fun ride.

This week John is training students at the police academy to keep eyes on this week's number, Silva. This should be fun, considering John's track record with breaking the rules..

His therapist, Iris, is still keeping tabs on John. At some point, is she going to blow his cover? She is really smart and can read John pretty well, so if she is going to be around a lot, then she might figure out what is going on. Especially since she has seen him in action. 

At first, it looks like Silva is the mole, and for some reason I thought she was working for the Brotherhood. But Shaw and Fusco find out that she is already a cop, trying to uncover the mole inside the academy and then the Brotherhood tries to kill her.

Shaw and Fusco follow the shooters to a community center that the Brotherhood has fixed up. I gotta say, that is pretty smart of Dominic. Helping the kids now to make sure when they grow up, they will be loyal to the Brotherhood. There is starting to be so many players on this board, each with their own agenda and their own strategy to win the war. This season is so intense.

The Team finally find out Dominic's real identity and Shaw is not happy. I have a feeling she is going to have words with Mini later. To be fair, I'd be pissed too. She spend some time with him, trying to find Dominic, not realising he was the boss all along.

Ortiz is Dominic's mole (and under the impression that he can do one job for him and then get out) and stole the NYPD's files on Elias to learn more about him. So Dominic is getting to know the enemy so that he can take Elias out.

John has been struggling with his cover since the beginning, so it is nice to see him bond with someone over the difficulties of going undercover.

"He is scuba certified." Of course he is... Bear is the best dog ever. And it is nice to see him included in the action.

When Dominic starts talking about his strategy and circles and how he had a math teacher who said all the world's possibilities lie inside the circle, was it just a coincidence that this sounds exactly what Harold told his class when he was teaching in a school to keep an eye on that one genius kid? With this show.. there's rarely such thing as a coincidence. So does this mean that Harold has crossed paths with Dominic before? But Dominic seems much older than someone who was recently in high school, so it does not add up, and I'm really confused about this.

Meanwhile, Samaritan has been working on identifying Shaw and sends Martine after her. I have a bad feeling about this... Martine is very effective in her job and knows how to get the info she needs. She knows Katya's weak spot is her daughter and she even gets Romeo to reveal how he communicates with Shaw, so it is no wonder Martine manages to find her.

This episode ends in a cliffhanger and sets up Shaw meeting Martine and the Brotherhood going after Elias. Next week is going to be intense!
