Resident computer genius Harold Finch has the useful ability to unblock any plot obstacle. He simply mutters some stuff about cloning or firewalls and suddenly he can penetrate any system, view any CCTV, access anyone’s emails.
In this episode he tunes into a household’s wifi from outside in the road using only a crisp tube – clever. But he’s not perfect, it turns out. A mysterious female computer genius with black fingernails manages to compromise his network and suddenly the boot’s on the other hard-drive.
