After last week's huge brain teaser of an episode, we get another of similar vein but with more resolution: namely an answer to what the hell happened to Shaw? (she is alive for one which actually makes the situation worse as she is probably gonna be used for some pretty nefarious stuff). - The intriguing plot of the hour was the ant farm/Maple and Samaritans use of the town as a study device on humans
eek! (Glad I'm living in a city that's financially stable and doesn't rely too much on one particular industry). Compare Samaritans brutal education to the Machine' more peaceful apprenticeship with Harold on the intricacies of human behavior and we have the crux of this whole big shebang. - The Fusco/Silvia case was well done, giving some much needed focus on Fusco & more intriguingly on Silvia who might continue to be in the picture given that Root looks temporarily out of the picture. - Worth repeating: Amy Acker/Root has been the MVP for much of the past 5 episodes with the occasional golden moment from Harold. All in all another excellent episode to cap what has been an outstanding Season 4.
