Warning: Spoilers
Hauntingly beautiful, utterly heartbreaking, devastatingly brilliant. I fall short of adjectives to describe what an emotional roller coaster ride this episode was. This is the last season, and with just 4 episodes to go, I was a bit worried how they would culminate the journey. But they did not disappoint.

#Mild spoilers ahead

It was a bit funny to watch Root, in the middle of some kick-ass action scenes, describe her concept of the reality being just a simulation and that those who are dead are not really gone, because in a way, machine is still watching over them. I had no inkling what that was building up to.

For the uninitiated, it might be a bit frustrating to watch Harlod repeatedly refusing to give full powers to the machine. But to those who work in the field of artificial intelligence, Harold's reluctance makes complete sense. I knew that sooner or later Harold would change his stand. But seeing that actually happen, and the manner in which it was portrayed, those ending scenes, oh boy, it blew my mind away.

I have no words to describe what a beauty this episode was. Without giving any serious spoilers, I would just say - Rest in peace our dead heroes. You will be missed.
