The Threat Is Here: The Blacklist "Quon Zhang"

A threat is coming and it might be too late to stop it. This week's episode of The Blacklist digs into so many things that I couldn't write this recap until the following day. So much into my tiny little mind.

Let's start with Liz, who found a photo of what is her swing with a person but the face is hard to see who it is because the sunlight makes it bright. Liz is determine to find answers and with the help of Tom she gets a bit close until the name Bill Kreshaw comes in.

Bill Kreshaw is a name that Red uses and when she goes back to Red's apartment, she goes all freaky talking to what she thinks is a recording somewhere in the room. She finds it in the small clock and soon Red calls her. Red tells her that it's her mother in the photo with  her and not to mention that her mother and father was a KGB agents. And the reason why her mother died or one of the reasons was that she was weak of all the regret she has done.

That pretty much set Liz into an emotional state and goes to Tom for comfort.

Cooper doesn't want to be part of this dirty politics as the new State Attorney tries to tell him how to handle of the events of last week's episode. He wanted Cooper to leak stuff to the newspaper. Cooper doesn't want to do it but too late due to hi wife doing that to save him.

The new state attorney tells Cooper that this thing is bigger than what it is. So I guess we better get our seats ready for the next two weeks.

This week's blacklister is known as The Smuggler or Quon Zhang. From China, he seeks revenge on the person who has killed someone and hunts and kills them. HE has this kind of ceremony type of thing. He gets caught by Liz and Russler, but when he talks to Liz, he tells her that there's an agent that is a threat.

Liz and the gang expected this agent in a couple of days or weeks but Zhang tells them that the agent is already in the states. This is the threat and by the way, he came in a coffin. So there you go!

And I can't end this without talking about Red because it's mostly about him, right? Red is recuperating after last week's injury. He's doing rehab by walking. Let me just say he has that Don Corleone and Ultron thing when he walks. He seems tied and weak but still the same Red as we always knows.

Anyway, he's trying to find a man name Kenneth Jasper, who works with The Director. Red takes Jasper and has him in a room, has a bit of fun wit him. Samar comes and helps. Red had Jasper's tongue taken out and sent to The Director by mail. Playing more of a game that will lead to more and more threats.

I enjoyed this episode a lot. I mostly enjoyed the part when Red tells Dembe the plan to go out and destroy Jasper's boat. It was so good the way it went that it felt like a scene from Oceans 11.

Next week's episode: someone or somewhere will be under attack and who or what it will be who will know but in this promo it just leaves me wanting to see it now. And the creator of the show told me on Twitter that these last two episodes will be  "implosion."

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