Mr. Kaplan wages a war with the truth as a new detective rolls into (crazy)town.
But at least Tom and Liz areusedto it.
The difficult truth comes in asking where such loyal devotion has gotten them.

But yall there are a lot of pieces.
When he comes to, hes tied to a chair, and Mr. Kaplan is there to greet him.
He thought she… was dead?
The reports were greatly exaggerated.
Bottom line: Shes complicated and fleshed out, not something we always get out of ourBlacklistBig Bads.
Plus, she has a flair for drama.
(1) That seems unfair.
(Yknow, probably.)
And then he startsweepingover an unidentified body, saying, Im sorry.
This is all my fault.
Just kidding, he totally sticks around and gives Ol Ressler a call.
Ressler tells him hes kind of in the middle of something.
Does it involve bringing down Reddington?
Gale asks while wiggling his eyebrows and rolling around his neck even though theyre on the phone.
Not exactly, says Ressler, ever the truth teller.
Cooper advises Ressler that maybe heshouldgo assist the peach orchard hog to keep an eye on the investigation.
Ressler says that whether hes there or not, Gale is going to find the truth.
First, Red speaks to a man who has employed her services before.
But shes not there; shes already out on her next target.
and insisted on bringing it in for an aggressive bro-hug when they were reunited.
They got them killed, and now its time to rinse the blood from their hands.
I cant keep up with all these analogies.
Youre a crazy son of a bitch!
After getting all their intel on Philomena, Red drives Lizzie to her house.
Red says he cant do that… so Liz tells him he cant come up.
Because Mr. Kaplan is sitting inside the apartment holding Agnes when Liz arrives.
Im telling you so youll listen to me when I beg you: Walk away.
Liz asks if Kaplan served Red up on a silver platter for her.
Not for you, Elizabeth.
Ive already failed you, Mr. Kaplan says.
I did it for Agnes.
Take, for example, Philomenas next target.
But when they get Philomenas car over on the side of the highway, theres no Marvin Gerard inside.
Wonder who hes with…
The callback to the use of Gordon Lightfoots Sundown is nostalgia at its finest.
Everything in the living room was completely scrubbed clean Red clearly used a professional cleaner.
Ive been underestimated before, Kaplan says in a callback to last weeks refrain.
Why on earth would she come back, Marvin wants to know.
Always on brand, Kaplan tells him… to clean it up.
I enabled him, Marvin; you did too.
But Marvin doesnt bite.
Hes not turning on Red.
So who is it?
From Philomena, Liz finds out that Kaplan is on her way to Vienna.
We should find Kate.
After all, what should be done eventually, must be done immediately.
But Dembe is his friend his only friend.
But for real: WHATS IN THE BOOOOX?!
What kind of name is that,Chip?
IS that short for something Chipper… Chipwick?
So I get a babysitter now?
I havent had a babysitter since Brenda Gilroy.
My god: potatoes, Lawrence Welk, bath time with Brenda still my perfect Saturday night.
This was a very funny episode.
It was also a sad one!
