I keep thinking about Control's role in all of this. She still can't be too happy about Decima taking Samaritan earlier in the season, activating it, and then basically forcing her to essentially work under them.

Her username is suspiciously like someone I saw over at TVBTN that kept on bringing up Carter's death and hoping the show dies in the same fashion whenever possible. Every week.

I thought the same thing, but then I started thinking about the differences between how the Machine and Samaritan operates.

We can't forget the other factions that are still in play too.

There was a time skip after Carter turns Alonzo in and her reinstatement as a detective. The machine was looking for Simmons, but failed to find him.
