Apparently, Raymond Reddington and the FBI are not exclusive
Ew.
For perhaps the first time ever, Elizabeth Keen and I agree on something.
Calling that group of morally questionable businesswomen The Harem and making their leader a workplace sexual harasser?

Or are they just a little worn-out in the middle of the season?
Raymond Reddington has a pet in MI6, too.
And not like he had Samar as a helpful Mossad spy.
And now shes telling Lizzie to get out while she still can …
THE HAREM, NO.
102
Before we meet Emma, we meet her crew.
But Red is onto these ladies, and hes sharing his intel with Lizzie.
The Harem is an elite group of female thieves who steal only from other criminals.
Because that edgy Undercover Lizzie couldonlyexist in a fantasy world, my friends.
I guess I didnt account for thehugeundercover glasses shed be wearing she is her husbands wife, after all.
She steals Margots stolen-stolen-diamonds and leaves a note telling her to meet her in the lobby.
And Margots like,Oh, I like what you did there, and then shoots him herself.
So,that guydies because of the Post Office.
The initiation apparently involves getting wasted, which is something Liz seems to do when shes undercover.
(Sound familiar?)
He placedLizziein the Harem because until this meeting, Emma had gone silent.
That makes Liz hesitant about trusting Emmas allegiances if shes onto her.
But they make it through their first mission together, and mostly thanks to newest Harem pledge Liz not-Keen.
They get a name: Mega-hacker Jack Heldridge.
And a victory like that can only mean one thing: Its time for a signature Harem rager.
Emma straight-up tells Liz she works for Reddington, but not to worry, the others dont know.
It was exciting and captivating, and it consumed me my work, my marriage.
I had no idea how many lines I was crossing until it was too late.
Is Liz getting the same icky feeling I am?
Maybe not, because she tells Emma its never too late to get out.
To whichIsay: Wow.
There are many, and Liz excuses herself to the clubs bathroom to get a grip.
To quote Lizzie Keen: EW.
NEXT: Hand it over … Emma is already out of the room, but Jessica is immediately killed when she enters the hall.
She then holds him at gunpoint to get her out of there.
The FBI doesnt know where Emma will be heading but Reddington does.
But thats not her intention; she just wants to stop.
Red tells Emma that if shed wanted out, she should have come to him.
I didnt think that was an option, she says.
And Red, of all people, should know how right she is.
Red meets Liz in a diner to give her the list.
Oh, thats right, I forgot about last weeks little bomb-drop.
Liz accuses Red of using the FBI to get this list because he wanted someones name off it.
[She] had a choice between remaining silent or doing the right thing, Red says.
She chose to testify.
And she forfeited the rest of her life to do so.
That was the person Red needed to protect on that list.
That person was Kates uh, Mr. Kaplans sister.
He later tells Dembe he understands why he needed to tell Liz about Mr. Kaplan.
It all feels so foreboding.
WHAT IS COMING?!
Where is Mr. Kaplan?
Can Dembe stay mad forever?
Will Liz be silently watching Agnes play soccer from the boarding-school sidelines one day?
