Whats really going on in that scene?
When might we catch up to that point this season?
I mean, I do know how to answer it, but I dont want to give anything away.
Its definitely not something were going to drag out all season.
You dont quite reveal his fate, but it seems safe to assume hes not long for this world.
He, Liz, and Red had a very complex relationship.
But I do promise well have some big turns coming that I think will be really compelling.
Would Liz ever be able to forgive Red for killing Tom?
Would Liz be able to forgive Red if he did anything to Tom?
Thus far, Liz has really been the kryptonite for Tom.
She is why he has been untouchable.
But thats a really important point that you bring up: Could she forgive him?
And would she forgive him?
What would it do to their relationship?
It is super complex and it is something weve talked about a lot in the room.
Everything that hes doing is for the right reason.
Family Thanksgivings have never been quite as uncomfortable as they are between this family.
Tom decided against telling Liz about the suitcase in the premiere.
He knows that Reddington is manipulative.
Remember, Mr. Kaplan unearthed these revelations in May.
Shes even aware of that, so much so that thats why shes bringing it up.
Shes smart enough to know that.
Hes a very persuasive and intoxicating bang out of man.
Yes, she is definitely concerned about that.
Speaking of the task force, Ressler is now indebted to this blacklister.
Its not going to be resolved immediately.
Cooper really could care less.
Where are they going?
But at the moment, they feel like theyre on safe footing.
Theyre always trying to balance the good with the bad and trying to justify what theyre doing.
He has his own agenda and has cases.
That is going to be an ongoing struggle.
Usually the episode title is the blacklister of the week, but in the premiere, it was not.
Red was hunting someone to start rebuilding his empire.
Red brought him into the fold.
A criminal is off the street and working in another capacity, and it pushed Reddingtons agenda forward.
We have more traditional blacklisters coming up where theres absolutely nothing good or redeemable about them.
What do you get out of it?
The Blacklistairs Wednesdays at 8 p.m.
