Another great episode. I normally don't have nearly the patience to sit through an hour long drama so I end up skipping over the networks in the channel guide but when I happen to catch see it's on the show never fails to deliver.

Can someone tell me what happened in this episode? We had some bad weather so the episode was interrupted. Doesn't look like the local affiliate has any plans to re-air it either. Thanks in advance.

There is a pretty thorough one at this web site http://haveuheard.net/2012/05/person...happy-returns/.

It was neat seeing that Finch had got Reese's number from the machine at one point in time.

one little side note. carter finds out that John did not kill Jennings but "dropped him off" at a Mexican prison on drug charges. Apparently he has done that before.

Loved Reese going into the Marshalls office and whooping ass. This show never fails to disappoint.

I blame my 3 week old daughter and lack of sleep for those comments.

That recap in the link had a few things wrong or omitted. In the park, Reese was playing Chinese chess with Han, not checkers. Also, Reese ended up taking the abusive husband to a foreign prison as draven31 mentioned, instead of literally taking him out as Carter had feared...

I love that Randall Duk Kim was the actor portraying Reese's chess opponent. It made me laugh when Reese handed him the key.

Fantastic episode.

Loved how they integrated the flashbacks into the current storyline.

For those who were complaining about the lack of "meat" to the back story about Reese, I think this episode should have satisfied that hunger.

It was also interesting to see how Finch saw that this particular case would really hit close to him with Reese and he tried to protect him from it.

at Reese sending the abusive Marshall to a Mexican jail and planted drugs on him.

It's always cool to see Reese kick some ass.

I don't know if you saw, but this was already renewed for a 2nd season a few months ago.

Ha, nice. Thanks for making me look up the Matrix connection.
