"Person of Interest" starring Michael Emerson as Harold Finch, Jim Caviezel as John Reese, Amy Acker as Root and Sarah Shahi as Sameen Shaw aired "Prophets" (Season 4, episode 5) on Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2014. It was about helping the new "POI" named Simon Lee (Jason Ritter). Read on for the "Person of Interest" Season 4 recap of episode 5 "Prophets" to find out what happened to the "POI" gang.

"Person of Interest" Season 4, episode 5 "Prophets" was written by Lucas O'Connor and directed by Kenneth Fink. Here's what happened in "Prophets." Shaw had to go to check out the elections to see Simon Lee, a political pollster who is amazing with numbers. His number came up as the new person of interest. Lee is referred to as the "Golden Boy" when it comes to winning elections. Unfortunately, he made a mistake on the day that Governor Murray (Michael Brian French) was predicted to win. Murray surprisingly lost and Lee believed that the elections must have been rigged.

It turns out that Lee's suspicions about the elections were true. It was rigged. And, Samaritan was responsible for it. Finch and Root teamed up once more in this episode to get to the bottom of things. Finch also warned Root not to get too attached to the Machine, because it has no emotions and is not capable of love.

Root decided to ignore Finch's advice to not follow the Machine's orders of protecting Simon Lee. But, she almost died trying to save Simon. They ended up erasing Simon's files to not make him a target of Samaritan anymore.

On the other hand, Reese wasn't part of all the action because he was busy getting some therapy as part of Captain Felicia Moreno's (Monique Gabriela Curnen) direct order.
