Person of Interest Episode Guide
until she died in the car accident. Ian went to the funeral and when Wellington saw him, he
freaked out. Rather than make a scene, Ian left.
The next morning, Sam is playing with Bear at the library and admits to Finch that she got
the items for the dog. As Finch and Reese go over Wellington’s history, Reese spots a photo of
an 8-year-old boy with the philanthropist and realizes that it’s Ian’s son, Alex. They realizes that
Wellington lied when he claimed that Dana got an abortion, and that now the man is worried
that Ian came back to reclaim his son. Carter tells Ian what they’ve discovered and explains that
Dana’s sister raised Alex. Ian wonders why Dana would lie, and Carter figures that Dana knew
Ian wouldn’t leave her if he knew he had a son. Carter Promises to set things right and explains
that Finch is going to break into Alex’s school locker and get a DNA sample from a water bottle.
Once they have the results, they can confirm if Alex is Ian’s son as they suspect. When Carter
says that it should be safe, Ian insists on going with Finch.
Zoe sets up an appointment with Wellington, claiming that Reese is a buyer looking for a
privately-owned Picasso. They meet at Wellington’s home and while Reese keeps Wellington occupied,
Zoe claims that she’s going to the bathroom. She lets Sam in instead and they go to the
safe. Sam starts to open it so that they can get at the birth certificate papers for Alex inside. As
Zoe looks around, she sees boarding passes for Alex on a flight to London.
Finch and Ian go to the school and wait outside until Alex leaves. Finch informs Ina that
Wellington has enrolled Alex in a private school in London. However, once they can confirm the
boy’s paternity, they can use it as leverage to get Alex back. The Machine calls Finch on a nearby
payphone and reluctantly leaves Ian on guard while he takes the call. When he deciphers the new
Number, Finch realizes that it belongs to Root. He calls the institute and the receptionist tells
him that another man has also been asking about Root. Meanwhile, Ian goes over and knocks
over the chauffeur picking Alex up, and then takes his place. Alex gets in and Ian says that he’s
a replacement driver, and then drives off with the boy before Finch can stop him.
Sam gets the safe open but Alex’s birth certificate isn’t inside. Zoe tells Reese, warning that
it will take days to confirm the results of the paternity test. Reese then asks Wellington where
Alex’s birth certificate is. Realizing that he’s been tricked, Wellington tells Reese that Alex will
never know that Ian is his father. Disgusted, Reese punches him before the man can call for
security. Zoe wonders what they’re going to do now.
Ian parks the limo and calls to tell Carte that he’s done something stupid. He then sits down
with Alex and asks about his ”Aunt Dana.” Alex admits that he didn’t spend a lot of time with
Dana, but he misses her, and Ian says that he know how it feels to have someone in your life
vanish. He shows Alex a photo of Dana when they were together in college and admits that he
wishes he had met Alex a lot sooner. Carter comes over and sends the boy to buy an ice cream
cone. Ian admits that he didn’t want to lose his son, and Carter promises that they’ll get Alex
back for him.
When they take Alex to the station, Carter gives Ian Alex’s birth certificate and tells him that
Ian managed to find it. She asks Ian if he’s ready to be a father and he assures her that he is. Ian
invites her out for drinks and Carter says that she’d be interested once everything settles down.
At the institution, Carmichael holds an early-evening session with Root and asks why she
seems so happy. Root tells him that it’s time for her to leave, and that there’s a government
operative coming to kill her. When Carmichael points out that she needs his signature to leave,
Root explains that the Machine will call on Carmichael’s phone to tell her when it’s time to go.
Then she’ll lunge across the desk and paralyze Carmichael with a single blow, take his car keys,
and drive away. Carmichael wonders how she’ll get past the guards and Root explains that she
stole drugs from the infirmary and released them into the air conditioning system, after closing
the vents to Carmichael’s office. They listen and don’t hear anyone moving in the institute, and
Root says that it’s about time for her to go. Carmichael’s phone rings, just as Root predicted, and
he looks nervously at her as she smiles.
Carter goes out with Sam and Zoe for a drink. They notice that Reese is outside and Zoe tells
them that he’s there to walk her home.
Once she leaves with Reese, Carter goes home to be with her son. Sam turns to Bear, who is
sitting on the floor, and tells him that he’ll be coming home with her.
At the institute, Root leaves Carmichael’s office and hears a phone ring on one of the unconscious
staff members. She takes the phone and plugs in the earphones, just as Carmichael
staggers out of his office. Root tells him that she probably didn’t kill anyone, but warns him that
