I'd do her in a heartbeat. She has that cougar thing going on with the attitude to match. XD

Seeing as John and Finch has a ton of enemies, whom do you guys predict will be the main baddie for the season ender? Don't tell me it's going to be Root again?!

So I was enjoying this episode and then my spider sense went off when I heard the secretary. I was like:

Then she started walking in

The camera panned up to reveal her. I was like

Then the episode ended...so I tried to fast forward time by speeding up the earth

I failed

Great episode! This show continues to leave me wanting more and NEVER lets me down.

This category page summarizes all pages pertaining to flash frames of code embedded in the video-link view of the Machine.
They may be attributed to the fact that the employer of Kara Stanton, Greer, uploaded a virus into the very internet, potentially in an attempt to track the Machine, hi-jack or shut down. ("Dead Reckoning")

The first three embedded codes appeared in the episode "One Percent".

Speculation

It seems likely that all three are connected. Potentially, it could be a reference back to Code 01 involving the "disease" infecting Lady Macbeth, or the focus on blood.
Revelation: "And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood."

CW Agents: "Blister agents are used to cause medical casualties; they affect the eyes and lungs and blister the skin. ... Blood agents are absorbed into the body primarily by breathing; they prevent the normal utilization of oxygen by the cells and cause rapid damage to body tissues. ... G-series nerve agents, developed in the 1930s, cause paralysis of the respiratory musculature and subsequent death, in sufficient concentration."
Alternatively, the four codes could be linked in a reference to the enacting of some deity's vengeance upon mankind for its misdeeds.

Even in Revelation, the people are said to have "blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds" which concurs with Lady Macbeth's concern with removing the guilt she feels rather than repent, saying "What’s done cannot be undone. To bed, to bed, to bed."
