This show continues to intrique and surprise. One thing that I found interesting in this episode is that TM still has a blank spot on human behavior, specifically disobedience. In all of the scenarios that TM ran, none of them included Shaw defying the order that she stay away because she was compromised. If that had been figured in, TM would have selected that one (perhaps even contacting Shaw to direct her there), since the chances of survival immedately jumped substantially. I do admit that it is possible that TM was in contact with Shaw, but it seems more likely that while TM can observe the dynamics of a tight-knit group of people, it has trouble when it is called upon to predict how potentially illogical those people will act under extreme stress. For example, it could easily predict that John would scrifice himself for the others, so that was in one of the scenarios. However, that Shaw would first go outside of her comfort zone of shooting people to talk down the bomb vest guy and then choose the short term goal of "save everyone's life" versus the long term goal of "keep their new identies safe" seems to be beyond TM. It points to human disobedience as being a weak spot for TM, which would be a gaping hole for Samaritan, especially since Samaritan has not had the benefit of coaching by Finch.
Or I am just trying to distract myself from all the sad scenarios of this episode. It definately bashed the emotions around until I could not decide which of the situations were the worst.
