Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
"Beta" might not have been the all-out siege episode I thought it would be (as in, something akin to "The Crossing"), but it still surprised me in many ways. First and foremost, it was a huge showcase for Grace (the returning Carrie Preston), and her second act scene with Greer, where she was a tea time hostage, was magnificently done. Well mapped out and wonderfully acted. And the whole time you're waiting for Greer to shatter Grace by telling her that Harold was still alive. But it never came because he held back. Which made the scene even better.
At first, it seemed like he was doing it out of respect for her feelings, but later we discovered that he was doing it in order to, in the very least, enter into a dialogue with Finch on somewhat cordial terms. He even kept Grace blindfolded during her release as well, just to keep things copacetic.
