Summary
As seen in S5E04 (simulation #6741), the impulse to shoot Reese was sudden, and Shaw followed through. Yet, when she rejoined the team in reality, she never once raised her gun toward Reese.
Samaritan and its operatives spent nine months painstakingly trying to turn Shaw into a traitor.
What did that effort get them? A spectacular, total failure.
Shaw had approximately one week to process nine months of trauma before diving into new battles. We know this because in the safe house in S5E10, she says, "I'm back a week, your cover's blown." (Of course, we all know Finch's cover was actually blown because he broke character and bought two cups of coffee instead of his signature Sencha green tea.)
I believe there's so much to explore in that week.
So, I've decided to write a story about it. In this version, I'll attempt to tackle three central questions:
1-How did Shaw overcome the impulse to kill her teammates?
2-After nine months and 7,000 simulations, a huge emotional gap exists between her and Root. How does this gap affect their interactions?
3-How can Root and Reese both survive? -
