This episode is so good - i watched it twice. First half of this episode reminded me of "Human Target" 1st season finale: both finales feature Amy Acker playing damsel in distress(in both cases, her character was target of contract killer). So the first half of the episode seemed like a copy of "Human Target" finale. But then, second half smartly enough turned everything upside down in one great twist ending. It appears that Caroline Turing(Amy Acker) is an assumed identity of The Root(Hacker/Killer/Blackmailer) from an earlier episode called "Root Cause". The Root put a hit on herself in order to lure Finch out and probably get access to The Machine. Now that she's kidnapped Finch, it's up to Reese to find him and to work with The Machine alone! Personally, i like Amy Acker as villain - great return to her earlier villain roles(e.g. Kelly Peyton on "Alias") I'm looking forward to the Season 2. And I hope that Amy Acker will stick around for longer than just a few episodes.
