Prisoner's Dilemma- This episode... another big reason for absolutely love Jim Caviezel! What a phenomenal, phenomenal actor, and I absolutely love this episode!! Reese is phenomenal in this episode, as are Finch and Carter. And I even love the way Fusco's side storyline was told throughout this episode as well. It didn't take away from all that was going on with Reese. It is just a fun relief shown in brief clips all throughout. And I love them as well. I love how hard both Finch and Carter work to try to clear Reese so he can be freed, and yet every time they get closer to helping him, Agent Donnelly, Northern Lights, and others keep interfering, preventing Reese from being set free. I also absolutely love Elias' brief appearances when he confronts Reese inside Rikers, then assures Reese that he won't inform Donnelly the truth about him being the "Man in the Suit" because he can't let go of Reese having been there to save his life. I also love seeing other past enemies like Byron, who Reese stole Bear from, and those from Northern lights... Hersh, who killed the one criminal and nearly shanked Reese in the prison yard, and his boss who is only known as Special Counsel. I love how Donnelly smartly figures out the truth about Reese being the true "Man in the Suit" because he had already begun to suspect Carter, then saw her concern for Reese when he had set Reese up to be attacked in the prison yard. Unfortunately, Donnelly's number comes up before Finch can act to save him, or somehow warn Reese and Carter of the threat coming for them. All of a sudden, a truck speeds up and rams into the SUV, flipping it over and over until it finally stops, then Kara comes from out of nowhere and kills Donnelly, before finally inserting a needle into Reese's neck so she can abduct him for whatever her plan might be for him. It's brilliant! While I hate Agent Donnelly because he's chasing so adamantly after Reese, he most certainly didn't deserve to die like he does and I feel badly for him. And all of this sets up perfectly for what's to come! :) And lastly... my absolute favorite moment in this episode is the moment between Reese, Carter, and Donnelly just before the truck rams into their SUV and Reese is kidnapped. I love the conversation between them, as Carter tries to defend Reese to Donnelly by telling him that Reese is a good man until Donnelly throws back in her face that Reese is nothing more than a monster and a cold blooded murderer, all the while Reese remains silent. I love Reese's face in this moment. It's heartbreaking because you can see that Reese believes Donnelly's cruel words about him over Carter's. Plus... you can see that he's more worried about Carter being in trouble with Donnelly and the FBI, than he's worried about himself. It's very sad, but I love, love, love this moment in the episode!!! And I also love Carter's interrogation scenes with Reese, especially as Reese shares very real information about his life while cleverly concealing the full truth. Especially when Reese opens up to Carter about the life he imagined he would have had with Jessica had he chosen to leave the military instead of relisting. Sadly... Reese then admits that even then, he fears his life with Jessica still would have wound up badly. I feel so badly for Reese. Thank you so much for another fabulous reaction for a brilliant episode! I can't wait for your reaction to the next episode coming up!! Until then, dear friend... Sincerely, Heidi
