In a word, Beta is EPIC! With Samaritan up and running, it literally puts Reese, Shaw and Root and everyone else on the planet for that matter behind the 8 ball. It's no longer a cake walk when you have the 2nd machine literally following them at every turn. Up till now, there hasn't really been anywhere to hide. But we learn that there are 'Dead Zones' where there aren't cameras, which of course makes it the ideal place to hide ones whereabouts. With Finch basically AWOL from the end of the last episode, the next best thing for Decima to ferret him out is to of course kidnap is one time fiance (who by the way still believes Finch to be dead from a terrorist attack). Naturally Finch was and does eventually give himself up on the condition they release her. Probably the most poignant and definitely heartbreaking scene comes when they release her (blindfolded) and they cross the bridge from opposite ends. When she trips and he catches her, that cuts to the bone because he still in love with her and can't say a damn word to her (she still blindfolded) to that hs can maintain his secret that he is still alive. Brutal. I can't wait to see how this all plays out. I actually thought that this was the Season Finale because it played like one. Nope, one more to go. It's gonna be tough to top this one. But then again, this series always delivers....every....damn...time!
