- Reese is trapped next to a person of interest in a part of the city extremely controlled and needs the help of Finch, Fusco and Carter.
- Reese and Finch will need all the help they can get with their latest number, a young woman by the name of Caroline Turing, whose specialty as a therapist is to counsel high powered clients who expect and require complete discretion. They quickly learn that she is the intended victim as Fusco informs them that HR has entered into a lucrative contract funded by an unknown person or organization to take her out. Because of the mysterious nature of Caroline's clients, one of whom they believe is funding the assassination attempt, Finch and Reese call in an old friend whose own sources may provide greater information on those mysterious clients. The cat and mouse game begins to get multi-layered. As Reese and Finch try to get Caroline to safety, they are tracked by both HR who is after Caroline, and the FBI, with Carter's knowledge, who is after Reese. Added to the mix is someone from Finch's past, who, unknown to him, is trying to locate him. Through the process, Carter and Fusco come to some unsettling revelations. And when they all learn who funded the assassination attempt and why, more than Caroline's life is at stake.—Huggo

- Reese misses Finch and finds the way to decipher the output from The Machine. He expects that it would be Finch, but is the crook accountant Leon Tao, who stole eight million dollars from the dangerous Aryan Nation. The criminals are hunting Leon to retrieve the money and Reese risks his life to protect the man. Out of the blue, Reese tries to force The Machine to give the whereabouts of Finch. Meanwhile, the psychopath Root is pressing Finch since she does not want to control The Machine but let it free.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- MAY 17
Finch calls Carter to say Reese needs her help immediately. She's grabbed on the way out the door by FBI Special Agent Donnelly (Brennan Brown), who shows her current surveillance footage of Reese with a woman in tow.
MAY 15
Finch gives Reese the next name, a psychologist named Caroline (Amy Acker) who works with high-end clients.
Fusco calls Reese with word he's about to meet with some high-end people in HR. Reese sends him a picture of Caroline, who is meeting with a male patient. The patient says that if word of him seeing her gets out it will a problem for both of them.
Fusco and Simmons (Robert John Burke) meet with the HR counsel, who seem very pleased with his work. They want him to help take care of a rich client's problem by running interference for Homicide. Fusco sees a picture of the victim, and it's Caroline.
Meanwhile Caroline tries to tell her patient she can't do any more for him. He isn't pleased. Fusco calls with word about Caroline being HR's target.
Reese is going to stick as close to Caroline as possible by pretending to be a new patient. She promises discretion.
Carter looks into the finances of a Councilman (and HR higher-up) named Larsson for Finch. He's just had $500,000 deposit made in his account. Finch tells her about HR's new murder-for-hire business.
Caroline guesses that Reese is former military. She asks some thoughtful questions, but Finch reminds him through the earpiece that they can't be discovered.
Finch is being watched closely by Alicia (Elizabeth Marvel).
The balance of the account used to pay for Caroline's murder is $5 million, though Finch is thus far unable to track the source. Zoe (Paige Turco) is brought on to help with the case. Zoe has narrowed the possible suspect to three people: the lawyer who threatened her earlier ("Hans"), a banker named Terrance, and a city official named Sarkesian.
HR plans Caroline's murder and has found a dark location during her walk home. Reese shows up just before she's going to get jumped and cryptically tells her she should catch a cab. She tells him "I'm safe" and leaves. Reese continues to follow her, shooting two of her would-be attackers in their legs. Reese takes Caroline from the scene, telling her some of what just happened.
Simmons tells one of his henchmen that if they don't kill her, they'll be killed.
Reese takes Caroline to a nearby hotel to lay low, and we're back to our opening scene with Finch asking Carter for help and Donnelly pulling her away.
Reese tells Caroline they need to find out who might have hired the assassins.
Donnelly and his team thinks Reese is within a six-block area. It has become a manhunt.
HR arrives at the hotel lobby. Finch finds online that a previous tenant of the hotel should still have a helicopter on the roof.
Donnelly finds Reese and Caroline on film and orders in an FBI team.
The FBI sends in a copter of its own, meaning Reese can't go to the roof. He and Caroline have to head back down.
Donnelly has access to the hotel's surveillance cameras.
Finch directs him to a service elevator which leads to a tunnel. He leaves to meet Reese and is followed by Alicia.
Carter gets a text saying "They're on 45 and they need your help." Carter, watching the hotel's security cameras' feeds, sends Reese a text telling him to turn around, then another text letting him know when the coast is clear.
Simmons' plan is to blow the entire floor, taking out both Reese and Caroline. The plan is for "somebody on the inside" to feed them info.
Zoe has eliminated the real Hans, who actually was out of town. The guy who threatened Caroline was being blackmailed and forced to pretend he was "Hans" to threaten Caroline. He doesn't know who did it.
Alicia gets inside Finch's HQ and looks at the photos of past numbers.
Zoe tells Finch "something seems off," and tells him to be careful.
Carter warns Reese that Simmons's team is waiting for him on floor 25, allowing him the opportunity to get off on 26. They hotwire the elevator so that it will skip the floor below. While Simmons team prepares the explosives on floor 25, the FBI begins staging on 27. Carter tells Reese what is happening. Just seconds before both Simmons crew and the feds move in, Finch manages to shut down all cell communication in the building other than his phone. This buys Caroline enough time to finish hotwiring the elevator.
Carter thinks Fusco is feeding HR info about Reese's movements. She corners him in the bathroom and demands answers at gunpoint. He tells her he's working for "the guy in the suit." He was just speaking with Finch on the phone. Finch calls Carter and tells her that Reese will need her help downtown. Fusco tells her knows exactly who the mole is and after this he's going to take them all down.
On their way out Reese breaks into HR's vehicle and helps himself to some of their ordnance supplies. Finch is waiting for Reese at the water treatment plant. Reese sends Caroline towards Finch, then begins to fight off HR in a gunfight in the parking lot.
Alicia jumps into Finch's car with a gun. She wants him to help her shut down the "God" he created.
Reese is in a huge gunfight. When it doesn't seem to be going well Fusco and Carter pull up and get him out of there.
Alicia tells Finch she thinks the power of the machine killed Nathan. She can "feel" the machine watching them and is "tired of running." He tells her that she's been running from people they trusted, not the machine. She says he's lucky she found him before they did.
While pursuing Simmons' men, Carter and Fusco aren't happy with Reese for not telling them they were both working with him. Reese hits a switch and blows up the HR car and the kill team. He smiles and walks away.
Zoe has broken into Caroline's offices, and is searching her computer.
Finch accuses Alicia of setting up Caroline to track him down. She says she's been tracking him for weeks, just as she's shot in the back of the head by Caroline. She gets into the car and says "You can call me Root."
At the same time Zoe sees that all of the information related to the account has been deleted. She calls Reese and tells him they've been set up. He realizes right away what happened. Root/Caroline put the hit out on herself to track down Finch.
Root tells Finch: "Come on Harold, we've got so much to talk about."
Reese finds Alicia's body.
Donnelly is sent an anonymous email (from Fusco) that tells him all about HR.
Reese finds Finch's office completely empty. On the street Reese stares at a camera and tell it "He's in danger because he was working for you. Now you're gonna help me get him back." A payphone (obviously one of the last remaining in NYC) on the street rings and Reese answers it.
