Minicap: Person of Interest

So tonight’s episode happened.

A lot happened and quickly.  And it involved a hot woman named Zoe who may be a killer but isn’t but has an attitude and puts on really impractical heels and hooker wear to deliver a gun to a cop and might be shady but might be Catwoman but at least she’s over 30 so her doing all these things makes as much sense as this episode can muster.  And she’s played by Paige Turco, so expect to see her back for February sweeps.

And Reese thinks she’s the perpetrator because she looks like a killer but she isn’t, she’s a fixer, who’s basically just a professional middleman until she gets ambushed over a voice recording of another woman talking about how she can’t do this anymore and Reese and Finch assume, like they always do, that when women are involved somehow they’re whores but they never are and you’d think these guys would figure it out but they don’t.  So Reese spends most of the episode running around in a limo drivers ill-fitting suit until at some point he manages to sneak home and put on his D&G for some B&E.

Then Reese and Zoe bicker and break into a drug company to steal some information once they realize that the young woman wasn’t a mistress she was a whistleblower but they get busted and it looks bleak but the healing power of the Caviezel gets Zoe to tell him about her past and then figure out a way to save him so he can return the favor.  He doesn’t trust her but then he does and he shows up just in time to kneecap someone and make a Borscht Belt joke like he’s Jackie Mason.  Then they flirt about how they’re both moral relativists, because sociopaths need love, too.

Finch works his own angle because not enough was going on this episode, and hits the pharmaceutical company where it hurts, it’s bottom line and then has a come to Jesus moment where he thanks Reese for being a killing machine and helping him save these numbers because it’s hard to be a badass when you’re a weaselly little guy with a stiff neck and a limp.

And Carter may have found out who Reese is.  Or was.

Full recap will be up in a few days, if I can figure out how to write it without flow charts, Venn diagrams and an interactive timeline.
