this is the best episode of the show so far. Poor Donnelly π’ he did not deserve this. What a great FBI agent. The entire time he was sooo convinced he had the right guy and he was goddamn right. I respect that. He actually caught the man in the suit! Only to be killed by some random woman he didn't know about. I also like when Donnelly's number comes up, Finch immediately calls him and tries to save him, even though Donnelly's death would really help the situation right now. But that's not Finch. Even now he tries to save him π I love Finch. And I love Carter so much. Her having to handle this stressful situation. Two different men talking into her ear the entire time while she has to interrogate her friend....that must be so confusing. But she did great. I think the biggest mistake was them meeting right after John got released, that was way too dangerous. I also really love Fusco's storyline this episode because we know nothing about this case except that some Armenians are trying to shoot them for whatever reason π great idea to put that into this episode. And of course it's brilliant to see how so many different storylines all come together in this episode. So intense.

2020-09-09 13:52:37 +0000 UTCThe first of one of my favorite episodes from season two!!! 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 doesn't take away at all from what's going on with Reese. It's 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 throughout this episode 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's still grateful to Reese for having been there to save his life way back in season one's episode... Witness. I also love seeing other past enemies like Byron, who Reese stole Bear from, and those from Northern lights... Hersh, who kills the one criminal and nearly shanked Reese in the prison yard as well, and his boss whose only known name is 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 came to know his hunch all along is right upon seeing her concern for Reese when he sets Reese up to be attacked in the prison yard. I hate Donnelly for being so gun ho against Reese, enough so to allow him to nearly get killed in the prison yard attack, but I love that Donnelly is such an enemy, or rather an adversary for Reese. His character is smartly written. Unfortunately, Donnelly's number comes up in the very end 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! And not good for Reese. 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. Reese has sadly believed that he's a monster for a very long time. 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!!! Thank you so much, Steve and Lacey! I can't wait for your reaction to the next episode coming up!! Until then, my friends...
