The Blacklist "Dr. James Covington" review

This week on "The Blacklist" one of the most anticipated guest star that we've been waiting for has arrived in this week's episode. And he looks scary when he talks and the way he looks.

This week, we meet the next member on Red's blacklist named Dr. James Covington. We first meet him as his gang take a guy who's was not making payments. As soon as this guy was running away, he got caught and was taken to Covington where he told the victim that he's time was up and later a cop spotted the victim in the alley with the homeless folks...dead with his chest open.

Liz apparently is having some nightmares since the events that lead to last season finale. She awakes from bed and spots a pair of glasses on the night table. She get up and see a rugged, tired Tom Keen holding a gun, pointing it at her. He tells her if she knows why Red is here, about the fire, why he turned himself in to the FBI.

Then Red kicks the door and tell Liz that she should have finished him off. Red then shoots Tom and then walks to Liz asking her what does she want. And then, we later find out it was a nightmare she was having.

Red in the story, was making some business decisions with his investors, tells his guy, Niko, that he should consider it in talking with the rest of the guys. Later on, Niko talks to the other guys and then comes Vargas, played by Paul Reubens, a dark looking man, with a yellowish sweater. He negotiates with them telling them that he's from Berlin and has an offer that they can pass up, to get Red.

Red takes the bate, meets with the other investors and has them taken away, thinking that they turned on him. Later on, as it turns out that we see that Niko really wanted Red gone but all of this was a scheme that made Niko's loyalty in no good shape. So Red shoots him and Vargas doesn't seem to not like it because he doesn't like the blood.

The main story event was finding and catching Dr. Covington. Liz and Ressler takes on the investigation and learns that the victim, was a business man and when they interviewed his wife that she told him that he was paying $500,000 for rented a heart that he needed and that he couldn't pay it so it was taken back.

One lead that they got was of a medical corner who gives Covington leads of their next victim. But they get him after having exam a dead body at a grave. So they planned to give a hog'shear to the pick up man and followed the guy but he spotted Keen and Ressler and drove off fast until he was killed by a drive by truck.

Liz and Ressler find an abandoned building, looking around they come to a hidden door that leads to downstairs but apparently there's no structure of that in the building's blueprints. So they go down and see's a door. They move and and spotted kids in hospital beds, moving down they see two parents of a child talking to a guy about surgery.

Liz moves down the hall and goes through the door and sees Covington about to perform surgery. But who it was doing it to was a shocking....it was for kid. He takes criminals organs and give them to kids who need one. Like this kid in the room was in need of a lungs transplant. The kid did get his lungs and the doctor was arrested.

I thought that this episode was well creative and had me thinking and surprised. I did not think that Vargas was working for Red. Really thought that he was working for Berlin and was going to kill Red. Didn't think that Dr. Covington was doing this for the good.

There were scenes that I found funny like when Red and Liz were talking about the Dr. Covington and Red asked her if she wanted a slushy. She replied no, then he tells her that she doesn't know what she's missing and that she should try the grapefruit gusher, it's just like her, a bit sour.

Also a meeting when Red and a guy name BB who was waiting on heart from Dr. Covington. This guys is a bit over weight, I might be saying that loosely, but when Red talks to him, asking for Covington's contact number. Then, BB was having trouble breathing, turns up his oxygen and Red ask him about his symptoms, chest pain, heaving breathing, a little erection.

Red gave him, his special drink. Something that to give him the pleasure to enjoy for the first time. What Red told him and had his little pinky finger up was just too damn funny.

At the end, we see Red heading to see Naomi, at a safe house. He walks in and tells her that she's changed. Then she slaps him real hard.


Next week's episode looks like the question that we've been waiting for, the question that Liz wants to know. Even Naomi calls her Elizabeth. Who is Naomi in all of this> Mother to Liz? What?
