The next new episode will be January 31, 2013 and is titled "Dead Reckoning"
For the next two weeks the first two episodes of the season with Root ("The Contingency" and "Bad Code") will be aired.
I loved this episode. And I also did not expect the final scenes with Donnelly catching Reese and Carter, with Kara finally appearing. From the flashbacks it appears to me that Kara, while a cold blooded killer is also in love with John. Perhaps she is kidnapping him so that she can convince him to join her plans for revenge. Remember that Snow told Carter she has something big planned. Breaking John out from Donnelly's arrest is not what I think Snow meant.... Three weeks is a long time to wait!!!!!

I love love love this show. It gets better and better each week. I love the way they pace this show. Bringing back Elias from time to time is great. Love how he still has power even in jail. I knew Donnelly would Confront Reese and Carter. I was just wondering how Carter would get out of it. Well here comes Kara. Love that evil Kara. Interesting to see her and Reese where lovers. Where is Snow? Don't hurt Carter love her. Also love the payphones ringing. It was telling to see the lady (don't know her name she is the one Reboot killed) was involed with Reese and Kara. I wonder how they are going to tie Reboot into all this. It is about time for her to show up again. Also where is Joey? Love here and Reese together. The only part I did not care for was Fusco and the supermodel. That was silly.

@immortal...I didn't see the ending coming and I'm a POI fanatic! I, too, wondered why they met up so soon after achieving the best con ever, but did not see Donnelly or Kara doing something about it! Kara killed off Donnelly -- good riddence, but only drugged John...what about Carter?? I'm with Karren, don't get rid of Carter or Fusco! The team is perfect together...even the evil Elias has his good moments and has been there for the team (but most likely will call in his markers sooner than later). Kara should have been taken care of years ago, along with Root and Snow!! I'm all for the bad guy in every episode, but not these three! They make me nervous that they're going to mess with the team's dynamic! Good review! Three weeks?

Wasn't really surprised that Donnelly was suspicious of Carter - wondered about that last week - especially since he was a top FBI investigator. Bringing in Kara at the end surprised and scared me. She is a killer and I am hoping that one of our two "assets" do not bite the dust in the ensuing melee next week.
Please don't kill off Carter. Please don't kill off Fusco.
I wonder if Finch knew he would become embroiled in all this secret agent/assassin stuff from the start.

While I had been calling that Kara or some combination of Kara and Snow were the ones who would ultimately get John free (it was part of a what is her deal anyway, I figure in her deranged mind that John isn't her enemy like Snow was, and also that as much as I love the whole team...they needed someone like John to help him), I hadn't seen the Donnelly thing happening and, in fact, was totally surprised that his confrontation of Reese and Carter wasn't the end of the show. I was watching on DVR and expected I was going to get to the previews next week (so disappointed that its not on next week) and was so surprised there was fifteen minutes left.

Fusco's "gag" POI (for those who watch 4 the POI of the week)LOL!!!! But he still helped the team about the inmate. The Carter/Reese interview.. er interrogation masterful. Carter wants to know if Reese can love and Reese wants to know has Carter tasted blood(killed anyone). Reese needs a Kara when the situation warrants it and who better than Carter. I liked the way Finch showed Carter his skills in creating Reese's back story, just letting her know he has her back if/when she goes undercover for him. Elias very understated what a great asset. This episode touched on most of the fans concerns. Even Bear got a shout out. Henson take a bow for being the scene/show stealer! Five Stars.

Absolutely LOVE this show, and for me it just gets better and better! Even though I knew Donnelly had his doubts as John was walking out of prison, I did not see him showing up at the meet between John and Carter. It was a shocking ending, and I can't stand the thought of having to wait 2 weeks at least for what's going to happen next. I cannot wait for John, Finch, and Bear to be reunited!

What a roller coaster ride! Unlike some fans, I wasn't expecting it when Donnelly showed up at the Reese/Carter romantic meeting by the water side. After that, while on the way to the safe house, I figured Reese and Finch would find some way to get Donnelly on the team's side. But when Donnelly's number came up, Reese's way out seemed a obvious...until we got the closed up of those high heels stepping through the wreckage, and then I knew. A great episode with a great nail-biting finish. No teaser for next week at the end, so I wonder if it will be a bye week. Anybody know?

As soon as Donnelly captured Reese and Carter, he was a dead man. The flashbacks throughout the episode made it fairly obvious who was going to pull the trigger. So, what's Stanton up to, and why does she need to kidnap Reese? I mean, what's the point? A good bet is that this has something to do with the Machine. The Ordos mission, remember, had to do with the Machine, too. Interestingly, Reese's "tracking" box, even as far back as 2009, was yellow, which apparently indicates knowledge of the Machine. Unless the Machine is retroactively applying the yellow box in the flashbacks, he knew about its existence even then. Hmmmm....

this episode ended. POI usually manages to avoid being predictable, and up until now the writers had also avoided making the characters do incredibly idiotic things completely out of character just to be able to make the plot work. I liked this episode overall, but I hope it's ending is just a hiccip in POI's plot quality, rather than setting a trend the show will follow.

"I didn't see it coming when Donnelly confronted both Reese and Carter."
Sean, you're probably one of the few people on the entire planet who didn't see this coming when Carter and John met up after John's release. It was obvious that Donnelly was going at least going to have them monitored, if not follow them, and it was RIDICULOUSLY stupid of John and Carter to meet after the whole ordeal because of that, the two of them might as well paint a sign on their backs that says "WE WERE WORKING TOGETHER!!!" It was also incredibly out of character for John, he at least if not Carter would have been a lot more careful than that if the writers hadn't decided to turn John into an idiot in order to advance the plot.
After that, we all knew Kara was going show up in the episode eventually and having her kill Donnelly was even more predictable, even how she ended up doing it wasn't difficult to guess. I was greatly enjoying this episode up until the end, I'm disappointed with how this episo
