@ Grimmfan#10 Finch is a billionaire. Just how many billions he has, I don't recall ever being specified.

I give this episode a 4.9 out of 5. The only reason it doesn't get a 5 is because of the one missing team member; Bear. :-) They should have figured out a way to have him go under cover as a special needs or guide dog. ;D

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT - I knew it would be Root - I even commented about it in the Prison episode review where they showed just the secretaries legs. Awesome. I WANT A PRIZE hahaha.

Great episode! I wonder why Reese left the other guy alive though, he'll be back for sure.
Also, there is something i've been noticing for the past couple episodes. The transition between scenes where we see things through the machine's point of view are getting these weird blue screens. I don't remember them from last season so i thought maybe it was because Root was trying to mess with the machine maybe?

Loved, loved, loved this episode--so many twists and turns! And loved the John and Zoe flirtatious moments. Jim Caviezel is so great at playing a badass, cool-headed shooter and fighter, and yet he's so great at also delivering his low-key, understated, but highly diverting one-line zingers. He has that funny little crooked smile when he's about to make an ironic comment or tease Finch or other character. Love that guy! He's got a brilliant sense of timing. Finch was hilarious too as the concierge, furtively referring the couple to an outside restaurant for a better steak, and directing guests to spas or restrooms, in between orchestrating Reese's moves or keeping Mira safe. Juggling Carter and Fuzco too. And dropping in Root at the end to tantalize us! Brilliantly done!
I liked that the Bureaucrat’s secretary turned out to be Root. She showed up in at least one prior episode but she showed up only then as a figure with no face shown. I had my suspicions then about if she was Root and thought they were going to go the same route again until the final reveal of her identity. There is defiantly something she is working on.

Awesome Episode!! Love the big moments, of course, but love the little ones just as much. John slapping down the manager, Harold building the most complicated program in the world and also directing guests to the bathrooms, John "hoping" Derek is the bad guy, Fusco taking out a couple of bad guys! It just keeps getting better!!

Wondering - if the FBI knew about Cal Beecher (they told Carter and dumped her from FBI consideration) does that mean they know about Fusco? I sure hope not. Loved that Reese finally gave Fusco a compliment last night for his taking out the 2 guys with the van. Great seeing Zoe! Loved the little play time for Zoe & Reese at the bar at the end. Off to the penthouse and a magical ending? Nope. The other shoe dropped and Root reappears and is now strategically positioned to find Reese & Harold again for "freeing the Machine?" The POI writers did it again! Just when you think you have it all figured out...

Really love this show. Also like the fact that it is on network that shows it shows more than 22 eposides.Yes that is a remark at NBC! Love Zoe and Reese together. I would love to see more of them but that would take away from what makes them so cool. Zoe needs her own show CBS! Love Reese kneecap shots! I liked Carter and Cal together. Something tells me that he will be a client of the machine soon. Fusco is a cop trying to do that right thing but gets no credit. I like Fusco. How much money does Finch have? I knew when the assistant come in the first time I knew her voice. Then the second time she came in I was still trying to figure out the voice. Loved that it was Root! What is she up to? Love it!

Definitely a 5.0 episode. It had something of everything (and everyone)!! It is a shame Carter ended her possible love-life with Cal Beecher, but wasn't he working for HR? Good to end it before it began. And Fusco stepped up just fine, which he usually does, when needed The maid-turned-manager was not that hard to believe...she was more than qualified to know the inter-workings of the hotel, and with Finch's ability to change her name and build a resume to match, who would question it? Besides, he's now the owner and leaves the viewer with the idea he'll keep an eye on his investment, if needed. Love it when Zoe is part of any plot (and a possible romantic interest for John). Ending was a TOTAL surprise. UH-OH, Root is back and look where she is!! Refresh my memory...is her new boss the only Wash beaurcrat left who knows about "the machine?" Great review!
I loved this episode, it may very well be my favorite episode ever. Reese kicking so much ass all over the place and the super hilarious one-liners. Good to see Harold out of the apartment. There is so much going on, I can't wait for the next episode!

Adam,
have we been watching the same show? Season 2 on the whole has been absolutely fantastic. Really consistent and very few weak episodes, if any at all.

Fusco's a lot more competent than John gives him credit for being! Remember Matsya Nyaya in season 1, where he killed the HR captain who was about to kill Reese, and framed him for everything? I like Fusco more and more every time I see him.
My question about Beecher is this: why is he (apparently) being investigated? Is this investigation connected to HR in any way? Remember, Beecher's godfather is the head of HR!

Does anyone else think that Root might be the problem close to home?

I agree this was one of, if not my favourite episode of the season. It's good to see what Root is up to as she wouldn't be quite for long.

Great episode. Root resurfaces right in the mix of things. Does anyone know of a site that summarizes all the characters and plot histories?

I agree with you 100%... Very solid episode and one that gives me renewed faith in the show after what I've considered to be a rather mediocre start to the second season (with a few notable exceptions). Overall though, I thought this was done extremely well and agree with the review. I'm really excited to see the direction that the writers take this.
