Tension runs high for Liz as Red tries to get a Blacklist to help with the fulcrum situation . This episode had everything you want for a television series.
The episode picked off from where we left off, Liz has turn herself to the Russian Embassy to have an asylum. Red doesn't like it and nether does Russler who wants to go in there and get Liz out of there. Red gets word that when Liz is taken to Moscow the second she's on the plane that she gets shot. Red gets Ressler to stop but it was a bit too late.
Russler drives and ambushes the cars, but Liz escapes and meets up with Red at a local diner. Liz doesn't look good at all. She might be losing it from what she's been through since the shooting. Soon Red sees cops pulling in and goes out and starts shooting at the car. Now a hostage situation was in play but it's not what you would expect.
Red talks to Ressler and demanded that he has Marvin Gerard, who's a blacklist but a good one. They bring him out and Gerard goes in. Red ask Marvin to look through the fulcrum and figures out that there are some holes that don't seem too good.
Tension rises, mostly for Liz, who almost had her gun taken away from her, but kicked the crap out of a guy, hurting the guy pretty bad. Liz starts freaking out with her eyes just in shocked from what she has done.
Soon, when Red gets on the phone with Ressler and ask for the rest of demands, but Ressler and the FBI was checking out about a phone call message to 911. In a brilliant way, Red left Ressler a message. As he listens to the message, Red, Liz and Gerard are heading out with the help from Chewy the diner owner into a hidden freezer to and underground cell.
One thing is for sure, you don't doubt Red, he's always one step ahead of anyone.
Red and Liz let Gerard go as he is free from the law and runs off with his soon to be wife. As for Liz and Red, they relax what looks to be a nice room, Red eats the best pecan pie. Liz ask how he ever gets looks from people, like the one she got in this episode.
But as he talks about how he loved to be a captain and sail out to sea, he opens the door and show Liz a beautiful night sky with the stars as they are on a ship. It was literally one of the most beautiful scene so far. It just felt that after the everything that had happen, they taken this moment to enjoy the stars.
But it's not over, not by a long shot. As Ressler heads home, he gets a surprise visit from Tom Keen. Also Cooper is no longer having his job, and seems to be on desk duty. But if we know Cooper, he's not going to stop. He's going to help. And I can't forget Dembe who seems to be a prisoner under Mr. Solomon, who's looking for Reddington.
This episode didn't disappoint at all. It was just as exciting as last week's season premiere episode. The tension and emotion carried on from then on. Megan Boone gave a great performance. I can't say enough about Diego Klattenhoff. He was outstanding.
Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.
Here's a promo for next week's episode.
