A Person of Interest 2.23

The whole first half of the episode is dedicated to the Anthrax left over from Zoonotic and a guy who thinks the government is out to get him – until he hangs himself – and it’s all Bobby’s fault and Eames tells him so. So, he does what he always does in these situations . . . punches the wall and wrecks things. Goren gets called out on being an ex-Army Criminal Investigator and Eames calls him out on being a prick who’s bad at his job (because he is when Nicole is remotely involved) and he takes it out on a bulletin board.

But quickly our duo kiss and make up, well, Eames makes him laugh and asks him if he got any sleep.

Bobby’s at Sal’s Restaurant in Brooklyn for the fifth night in a row . . . that’s actually quite a sad peek into Bobby’s personal life, isn’t it? And he orders the same thing too: veal parmesan. He flirts with the waitress and gets a salad and date with Nicole for his troubles, who makes him keep his hands on the table where she can see ‘em.

Here’s another wallpaper/screensaver in the making: Bobby and Alex alone in a darkened interrogation room, their faces reflected off the one-way mirror as they talk quietly about Goren’s father. He feels like an idiot for being duped and Alex vows revenge.

A stuffy lawyer WEARING SUSPENDERS WITH IVY ON THEM threatens Goren. Ha.

Goren and Nicole do the ol’ tit for tat in interrogation: Goren’s parents are divorced, Goren’s dad was a playboy, and 11yr old Goren blamed his mother. Goren isn’t married because he thinks he’ll suck at husbandry like his dad did . . . blah blah blah

But Goren comes out of this one with his head above water – he wipes his hands of the matter and passes her (and a bag of scones) over to Carver and Deakins to deal with.

Clothes Call: Eames’ jean jacket, Bobby’s sky blue button down, and Carver and Deakins’ civilian clothes

Quotable:

[Goren is flipping through a stack of messages]
Eames: Admirers?
Goren: Reporters. They want a comment.
Eames: Can they print a hand gesture?

Waitress: You must really like veal parmesan. It’s the fifth night in a row you’ve ordered it.
Goren: I just like watching you write it down.

Elizabeth Hitchens’ husband’s lawyer [doubtfully, after being shown an old picture of Nicole]: You have a more recent photo?
Eames [pointing to their wedding photo]: There’s that.

Eames: Nicole Elizabeth Wallace Hitchens Haynes, whatever. All of you are under arrest for attempted bribery.

Goren [to Nicole who flirts with him in interrogation]: Don’t flatter yourself.

Í know is a little late, like 10 years late but í never unferstood the final joke. 'What is these. Scones' Do you know what it means?

In anti thesis, goren said, after nicole's scape: "we had her". Then, eames said: What'd you think, she'd have scones and a glass of sherry for us?"
