It may only be July, but it's never too early to get caught up on where CBS series left off last May. And there's no time like the present for a sneak peek at some surprises and guest stars coming in the fall:
SEASON FINALE: The Machine, Hunted by various forces, moved itself to an unknown location in a surprising act of self-awareness and self-preservation.

Meanwhile, Carter compromised her values by helping criminal mastermind Elias escape custody. NEW SEASON: The POI team faces an uncertain future as they struggle with the next evolution of The Machine, which is now completely self-governed and its whereabouts still unknown. Reese and Finch continue to utilize Shaw's (new series regular Sarah Shahi) exceptional skill set, but her violent tendencies could end their alliance before it can fully begin.
