The series revolves around a computer program for the federal government known as "The Machine" that is capable of collating all sources of information to predict terrorist acts and to identify people planning them. A team follows "irrelevant" crimes: lesser level of priority for the government. However, their security and safety is put in danger following the activation of a new program named Samaritan. In the episode, Reese decides to investigate one of Carter's unsolved cases to honor her memory. During the episode, there are scenes of flashbacks to contrast the present scenes. The title refers to "Terra incognita", which is Latin for "Unknown land", a term used in cartography for regions that have not been mapped or documented. The episode marked the return of Taraji P. Henson following her character's death in "The Crossing".
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 9.21 million household viewers and gained a 1.5/5 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received critical acclaim, with critics praising Henson's return and Caviezel's performance, writing, editing and directing, with many deeming it one of the series' best episodes.
