Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt is from this point forward that Person of Interest morphs from being a crime drama to being a Science Fiction series. According to Gizmodo, "This past Tuesday night saw the season finale of Person of Interest, a show that premiered in 2011 as basically just a high-concept vigilante show. By the time it ended, it had transformed into one of the best science fiction series ever broadcast."
- GoofsFinch would not know that Reese was a CIA agent, because he had not yet received Jessica Arndt's number, which was when he first gathered background information on Reese.
- Crazy creditsDue to the nature of the episode, the Season 3 title sequence (Carterless version) has been replaced with Season 1 title sequence that ends abruptly at 30 second mark when Finch reaches the point "I needed a partner."

Featured review
PERFECT, could use as a template in film school, wow
Wow.
First to be clear let's talk about the episode. Not merely the best in the series so far, not merely technically perfect, but soars even above the usual standards for POI. The script which is flawless works on multiple levels, not only telling a story via the trope of flashback but carefully introducing new elements like a time release drug to shock the viewer in real time and yet (this is not easy, trust me) also adding to our understanding of the characters for episodes to come.
"Wow" does not do justice. Nor is the 10 score high enough.
I need to repeat this is technically perfect, no false notes, no wasted words or frames, and constant viewer connection.
Makes those handful of TBAA episodes ("touched by an angel" theme in the lesser POI entries) look tawdry in comparison.
And the script team from ARROW, who have turned the flashback, as a reliable script device, into a weapon of torture should be forced to watch this episode on a continuous loop with their eyelids taped open.
Not to benefit them. To benefit their viewers.
