In Night So Ransomed Rogued is a blistering start to the shows sophomore season.
To sayBlindspotresumes where last season left off would be an understatement.
Were rocketing towards something evenmorefun.

We pick up three months after Jane was forced into CIA custody during last seasons finale.
Shes being held at a black site in Oregon and undergoing horrible daily torture.
Flashbacks show us shes prepared for this, though.
Thanks to her training, theres a part of her brain nobody can access.
Shes biding her time until she can make an escape.
Soon enough, Jane executes an elaborate the shows modus operandi plan to break away.
She attempts to drown herself, forcing the operatives to try resuscitating her with an injection.
She then attacks them and is quickly put back in her cell.
Yep,Blindspotis back, baby!
Really, its a smart move on the shows part.
Thankfully, theres a new player in town ready to return them to the tattoo-case loop.
The theory is Jane once worked for Sandstorm.
In other words, Nas wants her back.
If only it were that easy.
They hook her up to some fancy (andextremely illegal) MRI/lie-detector contraption, and Nas starts the process.
Obviously, Weller isnt feeling too trusting of Jane right now.
In case there was any doubt, the episodes final shot confirms Sandstorm means business.
Deadly business, that is.
For the most part, the plan works.
Thats only after going all Jason Bourne on some cops, because this isBlindspot, after all.
Its also revealed that inside the M7G677 folder is a single image of a black hole.
Well,thatsa big old mystery to ponder this season, dont you think?
NEXT: Orphans and rockets
Okay, now its time for the BIG reveals.
Deep breath, folks.
Okay, so shes notexactlyher mother, but damn, the following story is insane.
And this time, it might actually be true… We might finally know who Jane really is.
Shepherd tells Jane she was born in South Africa to anti-apartheid parents and that her name was Alice Kruger.
But she wasnt brought there alone she was captured along with her brother, now known as Roman!
Seriously, In Night So Ransomed Rogued drops one bomb after another.
Yes, thats a pun about the end of the episode, too.
Because Roman and Alice were so dangerous, she took them into her care and they chose new names.
Thats where Roman comes from, and Alice/Jane apparently chose Remy.
These revelations set up an intriguing conflict that will surely play out over the rest of the season.
Jane is now a double agent, which will certainly cause some bloody, entertaining problems down the road.
Welcome back,Blindspot.
We missed your antics, even if they make our hearts skip a few beats every week.
