7 | Reese volunteers as an NYPD police academy instructor in order to keep an eye on Dani Silva, a talented young student whose suspicious actions make him question her motives.

8 | |
9 | * {{Arc Word|s}}: "Relationships" |
10 | * BirdsOfAFeather: Like Reese, a judge gave Silva a second chance, and she was recruited for a secret intelligence operation. |
11 | * CallBack: |
12 | ** [[Recap/PersonOfInterestS02E11 "I had a math teacher once, who said all the world's infinite possibilities rest within this one, simple circle."]] |
13 | ** Silva has heard about [[Recap/PersonOfInterestS03E09 the takedown of HR]], and asks John if he was part of it. He doesn't give a straight answer. |
14 | ** The Brotherhood infiltrating the NYPD via moles is compared to TheMafiya mole Laskey. |
15 | ** According to Iris, Reese being involved in yet another shooting, [[Recap/PersonOfInterestS04E06 this time inside a police station]], has not helped his reputation with Internal Affairs. |
16 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: Dr. Campbell says that Reese has this. He immediately proves her right. |
17 | -->'''Iris:''' We can start where we left off: your hero complex, which men often develop in response to being bullied as a child.\ |
18 | '''Reese:''' Iris, my school didn't have bullies. [[BullyHunter I kept them in line]].\ |
19 | '''Iris:''' Uh, bullying bullies is kind of the very definition of a hero complex... You seem distracted. There something else on your mind?\ |
20 | '''Reese:''' You could say that.\ |
21 | '''Iris:''' Look, I'm not sure what you're running from, but--\ |
22 | '''Reese:''' I'm not running from anything. I'm trying to save someone! |

24 | * ContinuityNod: |
25 | ** IA agent Silva notes that [[DirtyCop Fusco's name seems familiar]]. |
26 | ** Dominic recruited Ortiz as TheMole by using an expensive lawyer to get a relative off on drug charges. [[Recap/PersonofInterestS04E04 This is the same tactic he was going to use with Malcolm, who was also thinking of becoming a cop.]] |
27 | * CuttingTheKnot: |
28 | ** Even with a partial photo of Shaw, all the surveillance cameras of the USA and the precise location of her phone that it ''knows'' to belong to a person it wants eliminated, Samaritan can't find her. Sadly, Greer and Martine are not bound by such restrictions and manage to track her down just fine. |
29 | ** The Brotherhood gets information on Elias' organization by stealing the NYPD intelligence files, getting years-worth of intel without much effort. They do so by hacking the files via the NYPD Academy, whose security is less tight. |

39 | * [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Daughter]]: How Martine leverages Katya, by pressing a [[ImpliedDeathThreat photo of her daughter up against the window]]. |
40 | * ImpostorForgotOneDetail: Silva notes that Reese's tactics on the range are military, despite not having a military background as Detective Riley. |
41 | * InternalReveal: Team Machine discovers that Mini is Dominic, which the audience has already known for [[Recap/PersonofInterestS04E04 four episodes]]. |

44 | ** Reese gets {{kneecapp|ing}}ed during a training exercise. |
45 | * KlingonPromotion: Dominic asks another gang member "You the NumberTwo?" before having him kill his leader. |
46 | * LampshadeHanging: After various characters all say something to the effect of 'it all comes down to relationships', Martine's reaction to finding out that the way to find Shaw is via a dating app (an app to find relationships) was just "How apropos." |

55 | * ShipTease: Iris laughs off Reese's suggestion that she's a StalkerWithACrush, but she does [[RescueRomance appreciate Reese saving her]] from a drive-by shooting. |
56 | * ShameIfSomethingHappened: The RedHerring trainee suspect suggests she might have a training accident next time they use live rounds. |
57 | * TheStarscream: {{Invoked|Trope}} by Dominic; when the leader of the Trinitarios starts giving him problems, they hand a gun to his NumberTwo and ask if he wants a KlingonPromotion. |
58 | * TakeThat: A darkly comedic one from Rousseau. Having bluffed a man with a double-barreled shotgun, eliminated him, and then blasting Romeo with one barrel, she says, "Sorry to go all Dick Cheney on you." |
