That Reese actually checked inside the menu, not knowing for sure if the eggs Benedict line was a show of trust AND a new job or just a show of trust until he saw there was no picture inside.
Oh yes! For me, it was really a great turning point for me: Finch offering what we, the audience, might feel is just innocuous information, but to Finch, it's a huge allowance to Reese.
I like how it's kind of full circle, too, from the beginning of the episode, where Finch almost lashes back at Reese's "So what's good here?". The audience was given great tantalizing hints to what must have happened to Finch (ie: bust of his friend we say as he left his company as the newly unemployed 'Harold') I only hope TPTB don't inflate and disappoint our expectations of what it was. I actually kinda like guessing and leaving it to us to build the clues. Ideally, I would like Finch revealing it to Reese, but hopefully in not some grandiose angsty, maudlin way. This almost reluctant sharing between them has been good so far.
For me, that is a very smart and extremely rewarding black/white dichotomy and parallel between Carter and Reese
You know, that's an interesting way to view the link with Carter and Reese and I can see the parallels. If they continue that route, I can 100% accept Carter. My hesitation is that strong female characters are as common as bipartisanship (lol). More often than not, they rise to fill in an often male dominated role as the strong and determined personality but whether by laziness or lack of insight, the writers fail to follow through and the female character just becomes an inverted stereotype. I'm being cynical, I know. I want to like her, but until we get more of bamf!Carter and not just I'm gonna get you!Carter, I'm reluctant to buy in completely on her.
Then again, Abrams and Nolan can surprise me.
My second most favorite moment of the last episode? That Reese did not ever look away from the bag guys after their gun battle, but rather asked the judge "Is your son okay?" while maintaining every once of his attention where an ex-CIA operative would have maintained it.
Oh yes! There is something so completely riveting and alluring about a competent man of action. We saw him in action before, but that glimmer of heart (concern for the son) yet maintaining his composure and competence at the same time? Wow.
