Person of Interest Episode Guide
Thanks to their mutual friend Larry, Fusco is on a blind date with a woman, Rhonda. They
end up at a fancy restaurant with gourmet food that neither one of them much likes. They talk
about their children and Fusco admits that he doesn’t see much of his son because of his long
hours. Rhonda, clearly interested, asks about his job but Fusco awkwardly avoids the question.
Finch has Fusco paged to the phone and tells him that he needs to work on his conversational
skills. He tells him to keep an eye on Sabrina at her company office and put his cell phone battery
back in his phone. Fusco goes back to the table and tells Rhonda that he has a stakeout, and
she understands because she has a cousin who is a cop. She suggests that she go with him and
that they pick up some falafels on the way, and Fusco eagerly accepts the offer.
Carter and Reese set up surveillance outside the Drake home and talk about marriage and
love. Speaking from experience, Carter talks about how it’s easy for one person in a marriage
to change and fall out of love with them. Reese wonders if she’s considered starting up new
but Carter says that she doesn’t have any spare time between her job and her extracurricular
activities with Reese.
When she asks Reese about his love life, he avoids the question and Cal calls her before she
can pursue the matter. Cal tells her that Santiago boosted a deli van to get into the publishing
house and she thanks him for their help. Someone cuts the power in the house and they realize
that Sabrina’s hired killer is going after his target.
As Fusco and Rhonda stake out the publishing house, Fusco describes one of his more memorable
cases and finally thanks Rhonda for coming out with him. She’s glad to be with him as
well, but they’re interrupted when Finch calls Fusco and tells him that a deliveryman has entered
the building.
The killer is breaking into the house when Reese and Carter find him. He fights Reese but
Daniel comes out, distracting Reese. The killer slips away and Reese punches Daniel unconscious
when he demands answers and throws him in the trunk of his car.
Fusco enters the building and finds Santiago, posing as a deliveryman delivering deli food.
Santiago opens fire on the detective and runs off, and Fusco finds Sabrina as he chases the killer
down. He gets her out of the building just as Carter and Reese pull up.
Reese tosses Sabrina in the trunk with Daniel just as Rhonda returns with falafels. Reese gets
in the car while Carter introduces herself as Fusco’s partner and then takes off with Reese.
Reese takes the Drakes to a safehouse and ties them in chairs. As they argue back and
forth, Reese finally tells them what the other has been up to. They admit that they have no way
to contact their respective killers and start arguing again, and Reese goes into the next room
where Carter and Finch are watching through a one-way mirror. Reese left them alone because
he figured they could use some counseling, and Finch suggests they speed things up with a
different approach.
Fusco takes Rhonda home and she thanks him for the good time. She says that she’d like to
do it again and Fusco tentatively agrees as they kiss goodnight.
Reese blindfolds the couple and Finch goes in and puts some food and wine on the table
between them. He explains that he helps people even though sometime they don’t deserve it,
and suggests that they’re just a couple who grew frustrated, and that frustration turned to hate.
Finch puts down a photo of the couple in their early days that he took from their home earlier,
removes their blindfolds, and leaves.
2006 — Grace is waiting for Finch at a restaurant when a bike messenger gives her an envelope.
It’s from Finch, inviting her on a birthday scavenger hunt. She eagerly sets out across the
city, following the clues at each new location, and finally ends up at the Guggenheim Museum.
The Present — Sabrina and Daniel talk about how they were at a beach house when the
photo was taken. Daniel mentions that Sabrina was still pregnant at the time and she suddenly
calls out to Reese, saying that she’ll tell them what she can about her hired killer. Reese comes in
and she explains that she hired the killer through a security firm. She tried to call off the murder
after the failed bookstore signing but the phone number was disconnected. Daniel admits that
he tried to call off Santiago but couldn’t reach him, either. Reese cuts them loose and explains
that he’s going to take them home and use them as bait to draw out the killers.
2006 — Finch is waiting for Grace inside the closed museum. She thanks him for the birthday
surprise but he says that it isn’t over yet and takes her through the empty halls to the art gallery.
Hanging on the wall is The Red Towerand Finch claims that an anonymous donor gave it to the
museum. Smiling, Finch wishes Grace a happy birthday.
