Trivia
Production of this episode was shut down for a day by the Mayor's office when numerous citizens called 911 to report men with automatic weapons in the area of 47th St. and 5th Ave. Reportedly, the day's shooting was ahead of schedule and the NYPD supervisors who are required to be on scene for any exterior shots involving firearms had not yet arrived, leading to the shut-down.

Goofs
When Root and Shaw are underground torching their way through the steel grating, Root hands Shaw a pair of safety glasses. When she puts them on Shaw, the glasses are clearly transparent in the first shot. From the next camera angle they suddenly turn into dark sunglasses.

Quotes
Harold Finch: I suppose it's too much to hope she tased herself.
John Reese: Knowing Shaw, it's possible. But if I had to guess, I'd say she's in trouble.

Root and The Machine

Root abducts Shaw, but convinces her to work together, saying that she is in contact with The Machine that asked for Shaw's assistance. Reese investigates the disappearance of Shaw and finds in the surveillance cameras that she was kidnapped by Root. But then he discovers that Shaw may have team-up with Root. Meanwhile, Finch is working with the estate investigator Timothy Sloan, who is the next target indicated by The Machine. Finch follows him and in the apartment of Jason Greenfield, who died two weeks ago of heroin OD, he learns that Sloan was his half-brother. Further, Jason was a hacker and did not use drugs. Root and Shaw go to a CIA hideout and Shaw poses of an agent, following the instruction of Root. They head to a prison, where Root meets Jason Greenfield, who was supposed to be dead. Laskey is forced to bury a body to HR and discloses his real name to Carter.

"Mors Praematura" is an episode of "Person of Interest" where Shaw temporarily team-up with her enemy, Root. I do not understand why this character lasts until now, and less why The Machine is communicating with her. The failproof hardware developed by Finch was not supposed to act this way. My vote is seven.
