You have been warned… Tell that story.The Blacklisthasmorethan earnedthatstory.

Ratcheting up the drama knob on a real-life epidemic for the sake of entertainment?

That is a thing that many women know can happen anywhere.

The women attacked in this plot dont get justice or closure; they barely even get personalities.

When it comes to something as current and constant as violence against women…its really not okay.

This recapper is not the one.

THE COOK, NO.

56

And so Im going to sum up this insensitive story for you real quick.

Becauseanotherfrustrating thing about this unfortunate theme is that it distracts from something really interesting happening between Red and Liz.

A woman walks in the room and is immediately engulfed in flames.

A priest whom we see at an airport bar staring at a young woman.

That young woman goes over to him and asks for some impromptu confession time.

As she tells him that she cheated on her fiance, the camera lingers all over her body.

Hes killingmen, not just women?

She begs to know why hes doing this.

He kisses her on the mouth, gets angry, then slaps her.

Youre not hiding anything about Toms death are you?

And you know what?

And eventually, he tells her: The truth he uncovered has to do with me.

Tom died because he pursued it anyway, and he cant tell her what it is.

Liz gets…really upset.

But I cant say…

I have a secret, and I need to keep it…even from you.

Red gives his word that Liz wont have to miss one more day with Agnes than is absolutely necessary.

And Liz gives her word that shell honor Toms dying wish: For me to know your truth.

Before this is over, Im going to find out what it is.

Just double-check you share that info with the rest of the class once youve got it, k?
