Well, not really since weve all suspected as much since the beginning of the series.
But was Red actually revealing the truth, or just telling Kirk what he wanted to hear?
What did he say?!
EW turned to executive producer Jon Bokenkamp to find out.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Is Red actually Lizs father?
JON BOKENKAMP:I think its best to let the show and its characters answer that.
Anything thats meaningful is in the scripts and on the screen.
Everything else is noise.
Well, he did say he was her father and he sounded like he meant it.
That said, he was also heavily drugged with god knows what.
Ill let you decide.
Kirk says theres nothing that could stop him from killing Red, and yet he actually stopped.
What can you tease of whats really going on and when well find out what Red whispered?
The truth is, were not going to find out what he said.
That whisper was a secret between the two men who loved Katarina.
Besides, if you really knew what Red said the show would probably be over.
Could Red actually be Katarina?
Thats funny Ive heard that theory before and its a wild one.
Id love to have someone walk me through the logic of exactly how that would work.
Ive also heard that Liz is Toms sister, Liz is a robot, and Ressler is Toms brother.
All great theories, by the way.
Everyone has suspected that Red was Lizs father since the beginning.
Why did you decide to go this route?
Ultimately this is a chosen one story.
Elizabeth Keen is clearly incredibly important to Red.
Thats what were slowly revealing over time, and trust me, the answers are all there.
As you pointed out the father theory is only one of many.
Red seemed to know inside info on Katarina and Kirks relationship.
How would he know that?
Red says Kirk is gone.
Is that really the last weve seen of him?
I think its pretty certain this is the last weve seen of Kirk.
Kaplan left the woodsman behind.
Whats her next move?
Is she against Red now?
I think Mr. Kaplan is just lucky to get out of that cabin alive.
Shes lucky to escape Red.
Shes hitched a ride and off to god knows where.
Have we seen the last of Kaplan?
I hope we havent seen he last of her.
I love having Susan Blommaert on the show.
The Blacklistwill return in 2017.
