Summary
Harold Finch restrains himself. He files down that nauseating edge of petty, righteous cruelty which Nathan had always seen in him more clearly than most, and sips his espresso, letting himself begrudgingly admit that John Reese continues to be far more wily than Harold had expected him to be.
And exactly as smart as he'd feared.

Summary
"I think most historians would agree that the part played by impulses of selfish, individual aggression in the holocausts of history was small; first and foremost, the slaughter was meant as an offering to the gods, to king and country, or the future happiness of mankind." - Arthur Koestler, The Ghost in the Machine

You need a purpose, the phantom of his own voice mocks.
Briefly, Harold considers sharing that the Oracle of Delphi had found her purpose by inhaling noxious fumes through a fissure in the earth, and that it eventually drove her mad – but something tells him that Root wouldn't enjoy that particular piece of trivia in the spirit he intends it.

Summary
That is the equation. Root and the Machine and Harold and John. It contains a sum that isn’t there. It ends in a subtraction. It leaves an evenness behind, a two-sided coin of followers to the dogma of Harold Finch’s greatest achievement and his greatest mistake. A zero sum game.

Summary
On the bed was a body. Nott cringed slightly, wondering if the body was dead and why the guards had not gotten rid of it. She approached it curiously, figuring that she could at least eat it if the human guards did not take it away, although upon closer inspection she could see the gentle rise and fall of its chest as it laid there on the bed, curled up towards the wall with its hands covering its head.
Nott did not bother the body and the body did not bother Nott. Neither of them said anything to one another for perhaps several hours or so, but after a while the silence was starting to get to her.

My interpretation of how Nott and Caleb met in the jail cell.

Summary
The fight against Trent was going well. And then it wasn’t. And then it hadn’t happened at all. When Beau finds herself back home about to marry Caleb, she knows something has gone wrong. Very wrong. She is trapped in the body of a dutiful daughter, one that has never known a day of combat, and her friends are trapped in their own nightmare versions of their lives. Traveling across the Dwendalian Empire, Beau must face down a Caleb still loyal to Trent, a Fjord who became a ruthless bandit, and a Jester who was found by something much more sinister than the Traveler. Can she free them in time to save the life of one of their own and escape this world? Or are they doomed to die as shadows in the mirror? A story of battles, self-doubt, and the strength of friendship. [Written Pre-Episode 25]

Summary
The weak ones are easy kills, she remembered her clan leader telling her as they aimed their crossbow at a fawn. A little baby, speckled thing with big eyes and a swishing tail. Injured, the word was like oil between pointed teeth, are even easier.
