    Suburban Life

    The Machine delivers the number of Graham Wyler, a family man married with Connie and with a teenage daughter, Izzy, who owns a hardware store and lives in the suburban Far Rockway. Reese finds strange that such an ordinary man is in risk, but Finch rents the house in front of Wyler's to Reese. He invites Zoe Morgan to pose as his wife to become closer to the Wyler's family. Finch learns that Graham Wyler died fifteen years ago, and he is actually the small thief Lloyd Pruitt, who was specialized in safes and used the identity of the deceased man to have a clean start. However, the criminals from his gang in the past have found him and a haunting him. Meanwhile, Finch recalls his romantic interest in Grace Hendricks, and his initial dates with her.

    "The High Road" is a nice episode of "Person of Interest", with Reese and Morgan protecting a man haunted by his past. His decision to turn himself in to the police, and the decision of the judge, show a perfect world where criminals regenerate. Finch and Grace, who are real husband and wife in real life, dating each other is a very romantic part of the show. The soundtrack by John Lee Hooker is a plus in this great episode. My vote is eight.

    Nothing better than a real-life marriage reflected on screen

    I always loved this episode bc it showed real-life married couple Michael Emerson and Carrie Fisher being good together on screen and boy oh boy I love what I see. Nothing better than real love reflected in this episode. It is nice to see there's hope for us all seeing a shy genius find love from a shy artist. I really hope I find a love like that someday. Other than that I really wish more and more happy memories for the couple.
