Everyone deserves a second chance.

— Andrea Gutierrez


"Legacy" is the 12th episode in season 1, and the 12th produced hour of Person of Interest. It originally aired on January 19, 2012.

Synopsis[]

When Carter finally comes face-to-face with Reese, he urges her to join forces to help with their latest POI, a scrappy young woman from the wrong side of the tracks who turned her life around and became a lawyer.

Origin of the Title[]

The title of this episode could be a nod to the computer term Legacy.  A legacy system is an old method, technology, computer system, or application program, "of, relating to, or being a previous or outdated computer system." Often a pejorative term, referencing a system as "legacy" often implies that the system is out of date or in need of replacement but is too widely implemented to do so.

It could also double a nod to Nathan Ingram's death and what he would leave behind for his son to inherit.

  • According to Andrea Gutierrez's bank statement, the events of this episode start on January 18, 2012.
