+ "Take me to them." I loved Finch's reaction to learning that Reese/Shaw saved him and now needed help. I love that he doesn't even hesitate in choosing them over his mission.
+ I loved this line: "they found a way in to reconnect us."
+ The way Finch says "I promised you that I would never hurt you again." :( Ouch. I really love them. I love how well she understands him. I liked Greer's "Who you clearly love and who loves you in return".
+ Emotionally Greer's death was great. Greer willingly sacrificing himself to take out Finch, to protect Samaritan, still so certain that he is right makes complete sense. It feels completely appropriate that it's Samaritan who kills him because, unlike the Machine, Samaritan doesn't care about people. I liked how clearly that was contrasted between how their reacted/interacted with their Admins.
But logistically it doesn't make sense. They had Finch trapped. Why wouldn't Greer have simply left the room as soon as he realised that the Machine wouldn't know the password, instead of taking the time to spell it out for Finch? All he had to do was walk out of the room! There was no actual reason for him to sacrifice himself. Fanatics, yeesh.
+ Where the heck was Bear for most of the episode and for all those other times in the last couple episodes that no one was around? Does he just wander New York like the Littlest Hobo, helping random people? Did Finch have the Machine set up a rotating set of dog-minders who watch him if the team is gone for longer than a couple hours? I don't know which idea I love best. If it's the latter I totally believe Zoe and Leon are both on that minders list.
