If there's one thing to get Liz to take a Blacklist case, that's to fool her pretty well, and this week's that one.
His doctor sidelines reduce the after suffering a concussion from the car accident that Garvey had caused. Red and Liz discuss searching for the bag for their purpose, but Red puts away a newspaper with a headline about a child found in the forest. Liz thinks it contains Red finding the bag of bones, but it is his clever way of getting her to take a case and for him to meet with his long-lost daughter.
The case that Liz and the FBI take on a cult is that an author has people believing that the events in it are actual. If someone escapes and is found, they must be burned due to the virus they have contained. But when the girl gets kidnapped from the hospital, Samar gets close enough to the suspect, but instead of taking down the guy, she's taken too. Aram is in full worried mode and tries to get Samar back, but after taking down Nicholas Moore and his cult, there is no sign of Samar, which means she is still kidnapped.
Meanwhile, going against his doctor's advice and Liz's, too, Red tries to meet with Jennifer, but she doesn't want to meet with him. But that all changed when she arranged a meeting with him, and in exchange for the location of where Gravey might have done with the bones, she wanted answers to why he left her and her mother. He explains the best he can how he was trying to go against the criminal organization The Kabul. But after all that, she doesn't believe it to be to save her and her mother as she tells him about Naomi, who had died a couple of years ago, and takes him to her grave. After taking him there, Red learns that Garvey went to Costa Rica and booked a flight there, but instead of going, he gets stopped by Liz, who not only wants to go but asks for his help to find Samar.
"Nicholas T. Moore" was another fantastic episode, mainly the story between Red and Jennifer, which was solid and asolidlling but ended with a heartbreaking note of the death of Naomi. The performance between Spader and Fiona Dourif was terrific. Also, Amir Arison gave a strong performance, seeing his character jump out of his shell to save Samar. As much as there have been a couple of times Aram has done that kind of thing, it still reminds me of when he was protecting Liz from The Director in Season 3. I wonder if this guy who has taken Samar is just a random person or is part of a known criminal organization that, for some reason, got a tip from Garvey about the bag of bones. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10,
You can catch The Blacklist Wednesday at 8/7c on NBC.
