* AnthropomorphicPersonification: As he's bleeding out in the rooftop, and though he can still hear her through his ear-piece, Finch visualizes The Machine in the form of Root, giving the illusion of a face-to-face conversation. The surveillance camera footage indicates she isn't really there, as does the shot from Reese's point of view, on the opposing building overlooking Finch later in the piece. She also appears in the montage of her memories showcasing the episode's theme of 'Everyone Dies Alone' (which includes the funeral of Reese's father in the 70s), and alongside Reese during his LastStand against Samaritan.

* HoldTheLine: Reese may be a veteran government assassin, but he's alone and only armed with his SIG-Sauer. He also does not have the element of surprise on the rooftop he's on and has no cover whatsoever. This means he's unable to cover the multiple Samaritan assets approaching him from two directions with assault rifles. However, he knows he only has to hold the line long enough to protect the Machine's transmission and would be unable to shoot his way through the rooftop and escape in any case. And even if the operatives hadn't killed Reese, the cruise missile would have.
