Did you notice one of the "irrelevant" people on the computer screen just before Finch turned the screen off in one of the flashbacks?

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed your reaction for this episode very much. As always, this episode for this show is really great, and I am absolutely loving your reactions throughout these first two episode reactions. :)
Reese and Finch are both such intricate and unique characters whom I really love, as I love the actors who play them too. Especially Jim Caviezel who plays Reese. I love how mysterious they both are and how much of a badass Reese is. And just so you know... sometimes we as the viewers have to be willing to suspend a little disbelief in this show just like you would in any show.
As for what Finch tells his friend, Nathan about the Machine and what they built it for... Finch is saying that he built it to help save everyone... meaning multiple people by preventing terrorist attacks like on 9/11. Not for simply saving one person a t a time. However, at some point later down the road, the individuals whose numbers keep coming and then are getting erased every night at midnight eventually comes to take too much of a toll on him and his guilt became too much. Hence the reason why Finch hires Reese to help him save those individuals, knowing he can't do so all on his own.
As for Finch's friend, Nathan within the flashbacks... I really enjoy his character, and I remember becoming so intrigued by who he really was to Finch, as well as to the Machine. And yes... you will definitely come to learn more about them both as well.
As for this episode's main storyline with the young woman, Theresa... I really love how brave she is and of course I understand why she doesn't trust so easily. It's so sad, but I'm so happy that she still has family she could return to once Reese and Finch saved her life and stopped the bad guys. Such a beautiful moment in the end when she and her aunt are reunited.
I love how Carter is still looking for Reese, otherwise known as "the man in the suit". And yet Reese is always two steps ahead of her. Then he later calls Carter to get her to come out and find the girl, knowing that she would be safe with Carter. I also love how Reese uses Fusco to get information. I love the banter between them.
And lastly... I also like the backstory with Finch and his friend who is the face of their business, and how his friend is the one who shows regret and sadness that Finch is able to suppress any emotion towards those who are deemed irrelevant by the machine. The mystery behind Finch's storyline is most definitely intriguing.
One of my favorite scenes comes in the very beginning when Reese saves the cheating husband in the elevator. I also really love Reese's' scenes with Detective Fusco too. As well as the ending between Carter and Theresa, who is simply seeking to be protected and safe again at last.
As far as how Carter would have known to go up to the girl in the park... Carter catches wind of this case aside from simply finding the "man in the suit" was the uncle after the uncle wound up dead and she would have learned about the girl and possibly that she was still alive and being chased after during her search for answers.. Upon seeing the girl from her case in the distance, Carter knew why Reese had called her there to the park was so she could help her and she immediately went over to do so. Plus... the girl is wearing a suit jacket, which is a bit unusual unless something traumatic might have happened.
Thank you so much again! I look forward to more like always. Until next time...
