Or at least forgetful.
Until, that is, the need to protect her daughter finally pushed Liz over the edge.
Shes too busy trying to figure out if she should murder her other-maybe-dad or save his life.

Idolove when Lizzie goes full John McClane, but I cant say this is one of her well-thought-out plans.
Next thing you know, shes waking up in a crashed plane in the middle of the ocean.
Red explains, Mato could sneak up to a deer in a glade and smack it on the rump.
Well, inthatcase get thee to Amarillo!
My head torn open, Annies body in front of me?
But given that they woke him upin the middle of stomach surgery, Nikos wont spill.
Is Red someone Liz needs protection from, as Kaplan believes?
Or is he the only one who can truly protect her, as he continues to insist?
As a recapper who takes studious notes, it made me write, YAS QUEEN!
Anyway, finding Agnes is still the mission at hand.
Thats enough to send him to Nikos office in Amarillo, where Red and his crew are waiting.
Kirk is losing blood and fading fast, but when he goes under, Liz dives in after him.
But its a Cuban fisherman who shows up first.
NEXT: Donde esta la pistola?
Onboard, when Kirk asks why she saved him, Liz replies, I saved you because of Agnes.
But also maybe because you might be telling the truth.
Uh-huh, this snarky mofo is someone shes supposed to trust?
Red, on the other hand, isnt fooling around with snark right now.
He has Mato, but Mato doesnt have Agnes.
Its a vivid metaphor.
Yes, I know the Summer Palace, says Red.
And then he shoots him.
And now Liz knows it, too, because thats where shes arrived with Kirk.
Fittingly, Kirk asks her, Its a lovely location to raise a little girl, dont you think?
He tells Liz the house is hers, and she doesnt lookun-excited about the prospect.
Kirk introduces her to Katia, a young woman he calls the palace keeper.
Liz goes upstairs, where she spies Kirk in one of his signature back-to-the-door-while-something-mysterious-happens-with-his-blood setups.
This was my bedroom, she says when Kirk shows up in the doorway.
Okay, but a couple of drawings and matching eyeballs does not a dad prove.
Liz tells him there was a fire…that sheremembersshooting her father.
Reddington was in love with your mother, and now hes obsessed with you.
Liz slips the bracelet on as FBI helicopters cut through the sky overhead.
She doesnt find him, though; instead she comes face-to-face with Ressler.
He looks like hes seen a ghost because, well, he has.
Ressler takes her to Red, who stares at her silently in the car.
She stares back until Boz tells her to go inside: Youre home.
Home is apparently that creepy warehouse-turned-nursery where Tom is waiting for her.
With Lizzie presumably safe again, that just leaves her protectors to sort out.
Isnt that the speech, Raymond?
Its a valiant effort, and I think shes right.
I think, Dont you do it, Raymond.
This…this will be unforgivable.
He says he can never trust her again, that shes a stranger.
Youve told me you wanted a pristine, unspoiled place to live out your years in peace.
So the acre is yours.
And just for a moment, it seems all will be well.
And then they lock eyes: …for all eternity.
Reddington shoots Mr. Kaplan.
A few loose ends:
