samanthajane324b21:#She looks so confused because Harold just agreed with her for the first time#Usually he acts so ethically superior and thinks her plans and ideas are too extreme#But Harry actually listened to Root#He disagreed with her at first#Took some time to really think about it#Evaluated what they just went through together#And decided that she was right about keeping The Machine as an open system for the moment#They’ve come so far together you guys#He realizes that Root doesn’t want to take advantage of an open system#She wants to use it for good#To stop Samaritan#To find Shaw#To protect them#This really signified just how much Harold trusts Root now#And he should because she literally trusts him with her life#I’m so emotional…I totally agree about their relationship and how it’s changed, but I, um. I don’t think that’s what happened in this scene at all. I think Root is trying to figure out what made Harold do a sudden 180; what’s really behind this. She doesn’t think it’s that she just convinced him (this just isn’t what it looks like when someone changes Harold Finch’s mind, it doesn’t go down like this, there’s a lot more discussion). If he’d truly changed his position on the pure ethical and pragmatic question of whether it ought to be an open system, there would have been lines about it. He would have made a short speech instead of just saying “You’re right.” Because that would imply a change in his actual worldview, which was something being heavily explored in both this episode and the previous one. This show would never treat Harold Finch amending his ethical system so casually. So there’s some other motive (Root thinks so too; that expression says “what am I missing,” not “I’m so moved that my friend whom I love and respect loves and respects me too”). And I’m pretty sure the answer is Grace. -- source link
