She definitely got the message, and I feel like she would know that was real. Just like Fusco isn't in any of the simulations because he's unknown to Samaritan, I doubt Samaritan is aware of every little inside joke between Root and Shaw.

Because if they tell him and he's aware of Samaritan, Samaritan will discover it, and he will be on the official hit list. Right now Samaritan just sees him as Joe Cop, so he still has an out if/when the shit hits the fan. They wouldn't know to take him out.

I was relieved it didn't happen—I have a sinking feeling Jim Caviezel couldn't quite pull off the requisite dance moves.

I see that as more of a wink-wink nudge-nudge thing, like a send off of how most procedurals have so much unnecessary exposition.

"Don't forget crime dramas."

No, no no no no no no no no. No.

*Shhhh* In a moment we're going to take off the virtual reality glasses…

I thought of Roz too!

Also, it wasn't blackface. That lady was clearly orange from too much spray tanner.

Well, Purcell lobbies for cream, half and half, sugar AND splenda, so Tom had to mention them as much as possible.

He knows where the bodies are buried—that's why they couldn't just fire him. He's been with them too long.

Not just cancerous tumors—my friend had a benign cyst removed that was growing teeth and hair.

Yup—Donnie was meant to be Helena's bff.

She's not well-educated or cultured, pretty much. She's not necessarily dumb, she just has a limited viewpoint. She needs to expand her horizons a bit.

The Olsen Twins.

Who wants to put money on Evie having a bot explode inside her face?

I think Nightmare Baby™ from last week proved how crude Evie's methods can be.

Maybe it was red herring. Duko didn't want Art to get involved in the Kendall drama, so he gave Art something else to focus on.

Before we knew it was a simulation, I chalked that up to Shaw just not including Fusco in the plan because he's somewhat separate from the team and knows nothing about Samaritan.

It's kind of crazy that they're putting all their hopes on Shaw to find the Machine, even after 9 months of her essentially telling them to go screw themselves.
