John and Fusco deal with the number of the week, while Harold has a run-in with Claire from 'Nautilus'.
I like Anna. Mostly because it is nice to see a female number of the week that can take care of herself without being a trained killer. She's a real badass with her MMA fighting. But even so, the episode this week, while good, is not the best this show can do.
Claire is back this week and we get some answers about what happened to her. I wasn't completely sure what her angle here was because I was hoping she was telling the truth. She could have been a powerful ally to the team, but of course she was lying and was trying to recruit Harold. Well, that was her mission anyway, I doubt Greer actually had any plans to turn Harold into working for Samaritan. Thank god Harold is smart enough to doubt Claire even after his decision to stay with her and did wipe his laptop clean before she got her hands on it.
It seems Claire has been manipulated into thinking that she is helping people. That Samaritan is fixing the world. I guess she is not aware of all the missions Samaritan has going on. Or the fact that life under Samaritan would mean the loss of free will.
It is interesting (and absolutely heartbreaking) to see how Shaw's "death" has affected Harold. He is willing to save John, Fusco, and Root at the expense of Claire's life and this makes is clear how his morality has changed. Not every life has the same value, some are relevant and the rest... are irrelevant. Even if he does not go through with this, the threat is there and it is a scary thought.
When Claire took Harold to the school I thought he was going to meet the kid that was Samaritan's interface. Now that would have been a creepy converstation.
Luckily Root is back to save the day even though Claire gets away. So what has Root been doing in the mean time? Why is she back? I need more answers!
One question, was Samaritan behind VAL all along or did it just see and opporturnity and decided to take it? Because with this show, I always suspect that Samaritan is behind all cases that have to do with technology but it didn't seem like Calvin had any other backing.
