This week on Person of Interest, this was really good. Samaritan is back, Zoe makes an appearance and Root is being awesome as usual, what more could I want?
We have seen this all before on this show. A wealthy businessman, who suddenly finds himself being targeted and forced from the top to the bottom. And yet, this is not boring. It is intense, interesting and shows without question that the amount of power Samaritan has is terrifying.
Before it is revealed that the hacker intent on ruining Khan's life is Samaritan, the episode does feel a bit repetitive, but after the reveal everything becomes extremely intense. How is John supposed to keep his cover if he has to be close to Khan to protect him? How do you save someone who is hunted by an AI that can do anything? And more importantly, how do you save someone who knows what's hunting him but still won't stop asking questions? And, ultimately, that is what kills Khan; his need to know. He needs to know everything about Samaritan, why it picked him, what it is doing with his software. This allows Greer to get to him and kill him.
It's great to have Zoe back, even if it's just for two scenes. She should be around a lot more. And she is right, John's relationship with Iris will not end well, for her. If John blows his cover then Iris will be added to the list of people to be eliminated. Even if that does not happen, but say they defeat Samaritan, or just make it so that they don't have to be on the run from it anymore or something, what then? If something happens, how is John going to explain what they are really doing? Any way you look at it, Iris will end up hurt or killed.
Root is so great in this episode. From being a total badass when stealing the case, rescuing John, and fighting Martine. Also, "want to really blow his mind? Tell him there are two of these things". She is the best thing ever. Oh, and, did she just leave/hide the case with Harold? So saving it for the rainy day?
So Greer says the Machine is not on any network device on Earth, so does this mean Samaritan could not find the Machine? Did the Machine do something to hide itself? Because Harold was so sure it was just a matter of time before the Machine was discovered. So is it now safe for it to communicate with Root and Harold more openly? Is it going to fight back instead of hiding? Damn, I can't wait to see what's gonna happen!
