As Liz and Red still on the run, they're next blacklister to seek help is known as The Djinn. I'll say it again when it comes to watching The Blacklist, expect the unexpected.
Red and Liz seek the help for the Djinn, but they need Aram's help for that to happen. To see the Djinn, you have to go through a fantasy world to meet, give information and hope that she'll call and arrange an appointment. That so just happen for Liz.
Red has set up a plan to have a trace on Liz. When Liz gets a call from a hidden phone, the Djinn instructs her to follow the directions she gave. As Liz was on the move, cops came but they weren't for Liz, but soon she goes beyond the wall and goes into the potter potty and disappears.
Soon, Liz meets with the Djinn and they discuss what she wants for her fantasy. Liz tells her that she wants revenge but Djinn tells her that she sense that's not the case. But she wouldn't tell her and left, but not without putting the tracker on Djinn's shoe.
That help lead to where the Djinn lives, who turns out to be a wife and mother named Alice. But after having a nice little chat with Red, Alice isn't really the Djinn, but a fill in type. Very convincing I will say. Red asked for the real Djinn and in for exchange he'll help get her business going, doing what she's doing.
During the episode, Alice helped out a lady named Nasim, who has a fantasy of torching and killing her dad. Thinking that he had done something bad to her, totally went left field of not just why she wants him dead but her whole story. Nasim is the Djinn and when Red and Liz get there to seek a journal from her. We finally know her story or should I say his story.
Nasim was a gay boy who's father turned him into a girl. Boy, did that turn Red red. Given a great speech that sounded like he should run for President in 2016.
Anyway, as Red's speech ended, FBI were outside the house. Red gives Nasim a deal to get the journal and help her escape. That was his deal, but when they get to the helicopter Liz pull her gun and Nasim doesn't go and is taken by Ressler and the team.
Meanwhile, Tom's trying to help clear Liz's name and tracking Karakurt. He performs a great fake character to get in a hidden casino. Love the story sequence. Also Dembe and Vargas make it out, but in a twist Vargas shoots Dembe and leaves with the number in the newspaper ad that's from Glenn.
I don't think that Red won't like what Vargas has done but who knows what Vargas is up too. I thought he was a bad guy from last season. I hope Dembe is okay so that we can see him and Red back together.
Overall, I love this episode. We got to see a little bit of Liz and Tom romance again. Listening to Red's story about producing a play at the theater he and Liz were staying was great. Plus I had a real laugh when he tells her that he's going to bed and shuts the door that's on stage.
Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.
Here's a promo for next week's episode.
