Person of Interest Season 4 Episode 1 “Panopticon” Synopsis

It’s been forever but Person of Interest is finally back on our screens from Tuesday September 23, and it looks like the stakes are only about to get higher.

When we last checked in on Reese, Finch, Root and Shaw, they were battered and beaten after unsuccessfully stopping the focus behind Samaritan. Heartbreakingly, we watched as each took flight from the city and each other to avoid the detection of the now omnipresent Samaritan.

Will the team get back together? What about those numbers, and who’s taking Bear for a walk?
