Opposite Rescue: The Blacklist "T. Earl King VI"

     

In one of the weirdest blacklister so far and a complete opposite of who's saving who, this episode again wasn't a disappointment. 

This week's blacklister is of a family who have been capturing and selling more than just priceless items but people too for more the two centuries. The family known as the King run by Earl and his two sons that play Russian Roulette after each auction. 

I found these three characters interesting, like in they're messed up interesting for doing something like this to people and to themselves. Brothers will be brothers and compete with each other fighting for probably daddy's power. 

When Red founds out that one of his associates was captured by the Kings, he gets Liz and the FBI to investigate but when Red gets info from Liz of the whereabouts, he goes and gets caught in a setup. 

The one thing to take away from this episode was how we're use to seeing Red rescue Liz from danger or Russler. But in this episode, it's the complete opposite as Liz rescues Red and he doesn't seem happy about that at all. 

That last scene with Red and Liz in the van, Red tells her not to do that ever again. Liz gives it to him by telling him that the proper way of saying is thank you. 

He does but repeats to never doing that again and we see Liz looking ahead with tears rolling down. 

I think in a way, with what has happen in the past couple of episodes have given her something to think about. 

The other matter with this episode was with the return of Tom. We only had one scene with him and Liz talking on the phone. Does anyone think that these two will be together or are in a way still have feelings for each other? 

All in all, I gave this episode a B+ overall. I like how the characters were for Red and Liz and even Tom. Each seeing more growth especially Tom. The blacklister isn't one of my top favorites but it's one of those serious but not deadly serious kind of characters if I could put it in those terms.

You can catch The Blacklist Thursday nights at 9/8c on NBC
