‘Person of Interest’ season 5 spoilers: Sarah Shahi teases Shaw’s big return

For those of you who are enormous fans of Shaw on “Person of Interest” (we understand every single sentiment), it must be a relief to know that she is going to be a part of the upcoming fifth season. While she may not be turning up until a few hours into the run, we are getting every indication possible at the moment that this return will be worth the wait.

After all, Sarah Shahi is promising that you are going to get a sense of what has been going on since the last time we saw the character play a major role on the show … otherwise known as back when we thought that she was dead. Speaking to TVLine, the actress had the following message to pass along:

“We will learn what happened to Shaw over the last nine, 10 months, however long it is she’s been missing … Everything that’s going on in that episode [featuring her return], these are the reasons why I said yes to this show. It’s everything that I wanted to play in this character, all the places I wanted to go to as an actress but never had the opportunity, and they wrote it for me.”

Sound exciting? We certainly are invested in the idea right now, and we are prepared to see the execution. “Person of Interest” to date has given us virtually no reason to doubt them, so we are going to be confident that they will deliver something that is true to the character and insanely intense. They’ve delivered on both so far.
