Anyone who's able to I definitely suggest watching this episode a second time. You catch SO much that's just off writing/continuity wise.

The first big hint for me was that Root has an apartment, 2 eps after we establish that she lives in the subway now.

The first hint was that she was having glitchy seizures and reality was straight up changed, Matrix style. Second was the apartment, third was the realization that Fusco wasn't in, nor was the police station or the subway station.

Also the fact that everyone acted like they hadn't had any character development in a few seasons.

What sealed it I think was the kiss/sex, since the last time two main characters made out it was a machine run simulation.

What was the coded radio/printer message Root gave to Shaw?

Four alarm fire, a reference to this exchange in If-then-else

Root: [to Shaw as they are leaning close together against a wall, firing their weapons and covering the others' escape] We're so good at this together. You're gonna realize that someday.
Sameen Shaw: [as they move together down the hall after the others, firing] Root. No offense. You're hot. You're good with a gun. Those are two qualities I greatly admire. But, you and me together would be like a four alarm fire at an oil refinery.
Root: Sounds cozy.

I noticed the preview never showed Finch at all. I imagine he's going to be loving poo poo up somewhere while Team Irrelevant work to figure out what is happening in DC.

Which I hope results in a Control cameo!

It did right at the beginning, just after the drone.

You noticed that too?

It's really sad this show is ending because now it's really obvious why they cast Emerson since he went full-on Ben with that "it'd be a shame if you daughter didn't get a transplant" speech. Also unshackled Machine which seems to be a bit clingy.

It seems like it's partially (or more than that) taken on Roots personality as well as voice.

So if in alternate no-Machine universe, if Shaw is still getting relevant numbers from a source that is never wrong, this is just leading up to the revelation that the original Samaritan was never scrapped, right?

This has been bothering me for a while, but I don't think the Machine was telling Harold to kill the congressman in that episode. The congressman was both Relevant and Irrelevant. His actions would lead to catastrophe making him Relevant. But he was both unaware of the results of his actions and targeted for murder by Decima agents, making him Irrelevant. The Machine was faced with a moral quandary and placed Harold there so that Admin would solve it.




Also, it's clearly an "L"
