Who else did it like Root. Shaw was having an existential crisis after being tortured through 7,000 simulations and pulled a gun out on herself because she would've rather risked that she was killing herself for real than risk turning on Root and killing her, and Root's response was to whip a gun out under her own chin. Her recklessness was so unhinged that Shaw snapped out of it!!! And then she went on a whole fourth wall breaking monologue about how okay maybe EVERYTHING was a simulation but so what!!! And in the end it was just an elaborate setup for an ass joke because a lethal shootout wasn't gonna make her not appreciate how good her girlfriend's butt looked while they were hiding behind a car!!! All this within two episodes and without getting into the other unhinged shit she did!!! One of the Most Characters of all time tbh

#person of interest #poi #root #i have a lot of feelings okay #esp about how she handled shaw's reality issues #which went from “not helpful but ultimately not harmful and still the Correct Way of reminding someone things were real”#to absolutely batshit games of chicken and tangents about how they're shapes and also sameen did you know your ass is GREAT #shaw and samaritan both could not accurately predict just how unhinged root is as a person #so while “this is real trust me” didn't work of course root's antics and responses to things did #bc who could predict insane shit like that #truly an all time best character tbh #her and shaw both
