After several weeks living under the new identities The Machine crafted for them, Reese and Shaw are anxious to get back to the business of saving Numbers. Finch, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with the whole project. He's reluctantly pulled back into the team when The Machine gives Reese a new number, an electronics dealer who's "good with computers" and has gotten mixed up with a drug gang. They must help him without revealing themselves to Samaritan.

Martine Rousseau (Creator/CaraBuono) travels the world disposing of people that Samaritan views as a threat. She's very effective, and now only Finch and his helpers remain.
Finch and the others are in a sort of exile:
* Finch is Prof. Harold Whistler, an economist who teaches a university class on an obscure topic to two or three bored students.
* Reese is Detective John Riley, from the Narcotics Division of the New York Police Department.
* Shaw works in perfumes and cosmetics at a department store.
* And it's not quite clear what Root's cover identity is supposed to be.
