Blindspot is back with some exciting new adventures this season!!
We jumped three months after the season three finale; Jane, Reade, Patterson, and the Dot Com traveled to Tokyo to find a missing decryption key. They plan to meet Akiko, who has it in a safe, but it goes sideways when she picks off Dot Com, and the battle begins. With Jane's excellent samurai skills to fight and Patterson's drinking skills to unlock the safe and get the key, they all escape with no one hurt.
But when they get home, they still have to worry about getting the four other keys and figuring out who's running Hank Crawford Global. Also, Patterson learns that Jane's zip poisoning has progressed further than expected and will kill her. When Jane, or Remi, knows about this, she runs out to get some air but also sees her dead brother talking to her. But there is a cure; is it worth it, though?
Remi finally meets Dolan, the last person working for her, Roman, and their mother. She comes up with a plan to get money to allow the FBI to unlock a tattoo. When they head over there, Remi finds the vault, takes what she can, and calls on Roman and the team to take the rest.
Meanwhile, Zapata is with Blake Crawford, trying to get her focus on taking over her father's company. But when things go so well, it doesn't, and everyone on the board, including Blake, gets poisoned by Madeline Burke. She talks to Zapata, and after getting her ideas of what to do with the dead bodies, she keeps her on her team.
Later on, Remi, who thought everything was going so well, doesn't as they go after Dolan. Reade and Remi are on the chase. Remi pushes Roman off the street, but he gets to him just in time to crash Dolan's car and kill him. Remi still plans to take out Weller and the FBI.
"Hella Duplicitous" was a fantastic season opener! The action-packed scenes were mind-blowing, from the sword fights to the car chases. I couldn't leave out Patterson and Dot Com moments that were so funny and made the episode lighter. The moments of Weller and Jane/Remi were mainly chilling now that Remi is back in the world. And with Zapata, I think she's gone under to help them take down HC Global.
Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
You can catch Blindspot Fridays at 8/7c on NBC.
FYI: I want to tell all the Blindspotters that I highly recommend watching the show live, rewatching it on DVR, getting people talking about it on social media, and more. We were so lucky that the show got picked up for a fourth season, but with the numbers after the premiere, we should all do what we can to save the show and bring it to a fifth season. And when The Blacklist comes (in January), please do the same thing.
