Dive back into the magical (fake) science of memory manipulation.
An engaging, surprising, mostly successful Ressler plot, and not a pill bottle in sight?
Praise the (criminal over)lords on high!

Theres plenty of room for everyone to get involved in his destruction.
As Red says of Mr. Kaplans attack on him, The woman is an arsonist.
Shes not going to stop until she burns me to the ground.
DR. BOGDAN KRILOV, NO.
And hes just been spotted in Vienna grabbing an Austrian coffee with one Mr. Kate Kaplan.
Well, all except Ressler, that is.
You know how much I dont like empty hands.
Ressler half-heartledly is like,Liz?
Liz hands it back over, and she and Samar turn to leave: Walk fast.
Any second hes going to realize hes holding my rent check.
Not a great Liz moment?
Kaplan says she might have an idea of how to get him what he needs… And then shes gone.
Its Ressler who could use a little extra help though.
He wakes up alone, knowing that the witness to Reven Wrights murder has been snatched.
Ever the sweetheart, that Hitchin.
He… doesnt back off.
But as he leaves the car, he tucks a tracking equipment under the seat.
Remember, you did this to her, not me, Hitchin coos after him.
Remember, you did this to her, not me, Krilov echoes in the next scene.
No…notechoes because he was the one who said it in the first place!
Because its Agent Donald Ressler strapped to his chair!
detective and the witness neighbor.
Unfortunately, Ressler has already been transported elsewhere, but Liz has some creative methods of getting answers.
Definitely not pink or perfect, mutters Samar, but she doesnt even know.
He agrees to talk before she does any actual plunging, but homegirl seems like sheson the brink.
Now shell take every step necessary to dismantle the task force.
And thats what Mr. Kaplan is busy taking a more hands-on approach to dismantling in Lucerne.
You did this to yourself.
Kaplan is spelling out a story in flesh, and shes doing it by telling the truth.
But the savage brothers that Red hired to fake-kidnap Hans didnt comply with Reds instructions not to hurt him.
Hans was suffocated while in transit, and Red killed the brother in a rage.
But Red isnt going down without a fight.
And then one of Verners guards turns and shoots all the other guards!
Im sorry for that… and Im sorry for this.
Ressler certainly does, now more than ever.
And as skeevy as Hitchin is… Resslerisntwell.
At that last bit, Hitchin scoffs, Hesthe victim.
And Liz, continuing to break in her newest pair of badass shoes, hisses back, Yes.
And youre a murderer.
And one day, were going to prove it.
Takethat,National Security Advisor, who is pretty much untouchable!
But Krilov tells her it hasnt been 25 years since he last saw her; its only been two.
Come again, now?
And he couldnt have that.
For the time being, well have to be comfortable with chaos.
He knows Reddington has been feeding her intel in exchange for staying one step ahead of the law.
So why did he want to see her, she asks.
I didnt want to see you I wantedyouto seethem.
See, Ive already asked for their forgiveness…
I wanted to give you the chance to do the same.
It was a pretty solid moment for Gale, but if he didnt Get.
in that scene, I was going to freak out.
Ikeptthinking the guy Krilov has strapped to his table in the cold open was Channing Tatum.
What if Channing Tatum just… guest-starred onThe Blacklist?
I would love to see him kick a gnome.
Your friend has a gun.
