One Part Hit man, Two Parts Con: The Blacklist: "The Scimitar"
In this week's episode of "The Blacklist" Liz seems to be going rouge when it comes to finding Berlin by having Tom as her prisoner. Agent Navabi has some personal storyline in this episode. And Red gives a huge bomb at the end.
So where to begin? Agent Navabi was in Dubai, she meets someone actually come on to her and soon went up into his hotel room. Later as they go in, the guy is thrown out the window and on top of a car. He was dead before falling.
We see Liz and Tom talking. Tom is asking Liz to be release from this so he can go out there without Berlin of anyone of his guys notice he's gone. Too bad man. Liz demands the person who's meeting with Berlin and Tom gives his name to her.
As Liz leaves the room, Tom ask for warmer clothes because it does get freezing in the bottom on a fishing boat.
Later on, Liz and Navabi get summoned by Red. They meet him at a record store and soon he tells a story about a professor who walks into a bar and later gets killed. He then goes and talks about a man by the name of The Scimitar is out and on a mission to take down the top scientist in the country.
Liz and the gang try to give protection to the scientist and finding where the Scimitar could be at. When a tracking device locates to an abandoned construction site, Liz and Ressler are there to have a look.
Later on, Liz goes talking with Red and mentions about a source of a man who knows where Berlin is at. Red gives one of his looks that he knows when you are lying and of course Liz is totally lying to him about how she really killed Tom. Liz tells him that he'll give him the location of where Berlin is after she talks to the guy.
She does talk to the guy and soon gives the locations of Berlin's whereabouts.
Soon the FBI somehow get a call about one of the scientist being a target. When Liz and Ressler pick him up, already shoots were being fired and they are off until they were being chased. Soon the motorcyclist shoots the back window and then drops a some kind of sonic bomb which knocked them out and the car flip really big on top.
Liz and Ressler are out but soon later they are in a hospital. So they thought it was. The doctor comes in and talks to Liz, she has a broken arm and told her she'll need surgery to repair it completely. Soon Liz makes a phone call to Cooper and what seems to be fine then turns out it was not. That when the guy that they were trying to save and put into protective custody turns out to be not one of the scientist and it was The Scimitar who scammed them.
As Red said, The Scimitar is one part hit man, two parts con man.
Liz then devises a plan to get out and when the nurse comes back to give her some relax meds, Liz takes her down and gives her the meds instead. Then Liz runs to Ressler, who's been out and heavily medicated since they got there. He wakes up and then gets dressed. That's when one of the men comes in and tries to take them out. Liz then hides behind the door and hits and then knocks him out.
That's when Navabi calls Red and tells him about the situation. Then they go to a guy who's given The Scimitar all that he needs, the supply guy. Red and Navabi meets the guy and then gets him to talk of where The Scimitar takes his victims.
That's when Navabi and the FBI come in and rescue Liz and Ressler.
The Scimitar makes a go to the scientist who is speaking at a conference. He soon comes into her room pretending to be FBI and then takes her. Liz and Ressler goes to the hotel where the scientist and Scimitar are at and Liz spots a man who was pushing a cart with a big bag. Liz and the Scimitar meet again and soon the car with a shooter starts shooting around the area and the Scimitar gets away.
Liz and Ressler spots something moving in the bag and it turns out to be the scientist.
Later on, the Scimitar gets to his safe spot, the suppler's place and soon meets Red, who was sitting on a lawn chair and talks about how its crazy that people who run come to him.
Navabi then gets a call from Red and sees that The Scimitar is with him tired up. Red gives The Scimitar to her as a gift, since he is the one who killed her brother. Within a minute, Red gets a call and has to go. He tells her don't do anything that he wouldn't do, which means don't call the FBI on it.
We see Liz and Ressler talk, Ressler talks about his under control drug addiction. He seems like he's going to give it up but who knows what will happen. You can try but you'll need help getting through with it no matter what kind of person you are. Soon Cooper tells them that a body has been found matching the describing The Scimitar and it turns out it is.
Then, we come to a Red's car coming into a warehouse. Red gets out and soon we see Berlin. Red and his man, are surrounded by Berlin's men. Soon Red talks about how Liz told him where he's at. Then Berlin talks about how he's going to pick up his daughter and seeing that they've been having a nice time together. That's when he bring out the girl, who we thought was his own, soon he spells out that this is not his daughter but it's Berlin's daughter. The Bombshell have been blown sky high.
What an ending that turned out to be. I never thought about her to be Berlin's daughter. I wonder when are we going to learn about Cooper's medical condition, since the season premiere episode?
This was pretty good episode. Some of it were a bit predictable but all in all it was a top entertainment of last night in my book.
Next week is the Fall Finale that no one, and I do mean no one should miss. From what I can say is that Liz seems to be going full rouge and in a way acting a bit like Red. Things will change. Don't miss it. Because the next time we'll see The Blacklist is Super Bowl Sunday after the game and then the same week will be moving to Thursday nights at 9/8c.
You can catch Fall Finale of "The Blacklist" next Monday at 10/9c on NBC.

More than Friends? Mulaney "Sweet Jane"
This week's episode of "Mulaney" dealt with the issue of can a female friend be friends with your girlfriend? Also what would you want the last words to be before you die?
John wonders why Jane doesn't seem to get along with any of his girlfriends. Could she be jealous? Apparently Jane gets angry pretty quick when it comes to meeting them. There's the one who didn't like Thai food because she was allergic to peanuts.
When Jane meets Kristen, after asking her if Jane was a comic, she started not liking her. Jane said that Kristen like to date comedians, in which Motif called her a "Ha-Ha-Ho."
After Jane leaves, John and Motif talk and Motif thinks that Jane is jealous of the women John is dating. Could it be? Should Jane and John be the Ross and Rachel of the show or more like Jerry and Elaine?
Later on, John working with Lou and as soon as they get to work, Lou plugs John's laptop cord in and soon it makes a spark. Lou says out loud, that he didn't for the jokes. Which made John question about hoe Lou is all planned out for his death and what his last words would be if he goes out.
But he didn't think about if he died in the bathroom, which later on he planned it out.
Later on John talks to Oscar who had his two female friends, two very special guest stars that you'll need to see to believe, and talked about how they didn't get along. And that the only thing that they became friends was that they hated to same thing, NASA.
That gave John an idea to bring both Jane and Kristen to the Andre's blues concert, which he would think that they'll both hate. But that back fired and soon Kristen left. John confront Jane if she was jealous of the women he's dating. She goes on the defense and goes no.
Later on, John comes back and sees Jane on the couch. They talk and Jane admits that she is jealous but not for the reason that John may think. To her, John is her back up plan. They'll forgive each other after.
After that, Motif, who's been on the beige watching mode of "Friends," saw the final episode of the series and decided to take a walk. But then ask John if the cast of Friends are still friends and John says yes. He thinks they are still friends.
This episode seems more like a season finale kind of episode than just a middle episode. It does ask the question both ways, can you friend who is a girl be friends with your girlfriend, the Harry Met Sally kind of question.
I do see that Jane and John are like Jerry and Elaine. But there's nothing there to say the least, but I would really like to see that nothing become something.
I find it funny how Motif is just learning about the show "Friends." And the moments he and John had through out the episode about if Joey's going to die and all.
You can catch "Mulaney" Sunday nights at 9:30/8:30c on FOX.
The Raw Side of the Law: Benched "Pilot"
Last week was the season premiere of "Benched," a new USA Network single-camera comedy created by Michaela Watkins and Damon Jones. It's about how a high-powered corporate lawyer has a fall from grace that goes into the rough and tumble of the world of a public defender.
It stars Nina Whitley, played by Eliza Coupe, a career-driven corporate attorney who suddenly gets a phone call from her fiance that he's breaking up with her for someone he's marrying. That leads her to a nervous breakdown after she receives the news that she's not getting a partner at her firm
Nina gives one of the best rants on television in a while. Maybe it's tied with what Annie did with Jake in NBC's "Marry Me." She bashes everyone about how the other person got the job because of her good looks and giant breasts. Then she smashes everything around her in the room and hits a vast from Elton John.
That's when she leaves and gets on the elevator and tries to make it go down but can't because she needs to use her card to go down, which creates an awkward moment for her. Then, as soon she uses her card, she gives a big "F" to you and a couple of signs until the elevator stops, which makes it even more awkward for her.
Jumping six months later, Nina is now working on her first day as a public defender. She gets to her boss's office; he hands her files and then tells her that she has five minutes to get to court. She doesn't make a good first impression and does not even get the job going into the courtroom, when apparently either a possum died or a sewage pipe had burst.
Making it more a not a good first day is that the person she's going against turns out to be her former fiance, Trent.
After her first full day, Nina doesn't do well and does not make a good impression on the judge.
Later on, Nina has a moment with her new colleagues, who turn out to be an honest, dysfunctional bunch of characters that make her look better and the show, too.
From Phil to Carols, Micah, the intern, and Cheryl are all different and hilarious.
Soon, Nina plans to get Trent back at his own game when a mother is arrested for stealing diapers and also missing a court date; Nina goes at it by saying that she's guilty and that her bond should be $70 million but soon makes an argument that for someone like her client, who stole diapers isn't a horrible crime.
She also makes the argument that the reason why her client missed her court date was because she was in jail.
Soon after the judge has asked many times for the bond number, Nina says one dollar. The judge agrees and sets the bond for one dollar because he is so happy. And then, Nina told Trent that the game was on. In which she has set the bar and let the fun begin.
I enjoy this series from its pilot episode. I thought that Eliza Coupe was excellent in this series. I saw her in "Happy Endings," but I think watching her on here and listening to what others have said, she's hilarious and a queen to cable comedy.
I think that this series has a great ensemble cast of characters. I think that Nina and Phil are good with the one. I believe that Maria Bamford is just as hilarious as her character.
I think this series is about how someone who was once up in the higher level professional turns and gets a scene of the reality of what the natural world and the rawest of the law is with the ordinary people.
You can catch "Benched" on Tuesday nights at 10:30/9:30 on the USA Network.

So What's the Plan? Parenthood: "Too Big to Fail"
In this week's episode of "Parenthood" we learn that from our first mistake, that there is a solution to a problem and sometimes loves comes in different ways.
In this episode we jump to three months in advance. Amber is somewhat around four to five months pregnant, Drew is looking for a major and things get a lot weird with Max and Dylan.
We see how Hank and his daughter, Ruby, dealing with the facts of father and daughter relationships. Ruby wants to go to a party with a friend and Hank doesn't seem to get it and soon decides to say no. With the help of Sarah, they do a family game night, with Sarah and Amber up against Hank and Ruby.
With the champions looking to be Sarah and Amber, it seems that Hank and Ruby are not connecting to one another as they take their turn. Soon after a couple of minutes, Ruby gets upset and runs off after trying to get him to guess the word, which was peanut, the one thing that she's allergic to.
Soon Ruby sneaks out and goes to a party, but we see her only coming back from the part where Amber sees her. As Ruby is having a hard time getting herself together, from drinking too much, Amber rushes to her and helps Ruby into the bathroom.
It's one of those moments that just makes you have kids watch this to understand what the outcome of drinking at a party can lead to for say.
Later on, Amber wakes up Ruby and gives her a cup of coffee. She talked to her about how she couldn't be doing this, talking about how her dad is trying his best and telling her that her own dad never come for her. It's like we see the past Amber and future Amber at one and see how much Amber has grown so much this whole series.
Soon, Ruby comes out, apologizes to her dad and Sarah and tells them that she had fun. It was a real life change for the character of Ruby and I know that it's only one moment but one moment can change a life, right?
Meanwhile, Crosby and Adam are trying to figure things out with their business. As it has been known, they lost their star and their business isn't doing to well. Crosby is worried about what's going to happen, with the business but also with his family as well.
Crosby comes clean to Jasmine about what's really going on. She's upset but not that upset. She tells him that she doesn't care what happens to the house or business, as long as she and their family have him, they will be fine.
As that's going on, Adam and Crosby are trying to figure things out, not only about their business but also with Amber and her salary. With Amber being somewhat four to five months pregnant, I think. With a child on the way and baby stuff being at a high of price to buy; Amber thinks that after working with Adam and Crosby that she deserves to have a rise. Which she rightful does.
But when Adam and Crosby talk about it, Adam tells Crosby that she should have been fired a year ago. That's when Amber heard that and walked out. But Adam and Crosby talked to her and told her that Adam has a plan. But Adam admitted that he doesn't have a plan but will do everything to find a solution and give her a rise.
As for Drew, he's trying to find a major, while his girlfriend tells him to relax and not to worry. He goes to Adam for some advice and give him advice upon saying that Drew should find what he wants to do to earn money, not to find a job that makes a lot of money. That's what I got out of it. Crosby thinks that you should find a job that pays a lot.
And of course, Dylan and Max. What a couple these two are right? I'm really amazed of how Max is growing up and learning about relationships. I really enjoy Ally Ioannides' character, Dylan. My favorite scene in the episode is when Max and Dylan are in his room, talking and soon Adam and Kristina walk by the room. Of course, Max, without even looking, knows that they were snooping and shuts the door. Looks like Adam and Kristina needs a lesson in snooping 101.
Also learning about Dylan and how she loves Max's family more than her own is really making think that we should see her parents. Maybe she lives by herself? Kristina really likes her now so things seem to be all well between those two.
I really enjoyed, learned and felt the experience in this episode. I felt the experience in Drew's little storyline of trying to find a major and getting a job to help the family.
Also with Adam and Crosby's business not doing well, I can understand by how my grandfather's business isn't doing well either and with a death of his business partner and best friend it's harder to keep it, but it's good to have good friends to help you at a time in need that knows a lot of your business.
Next week's episode will be dealing with Julia and Joel, is this really the end of it? Joel needs to fight for her no matter what happens. Joel and Julia, in my opinion, should be together.
You can catch "Parenthood" Thursday nights 10/9c on NBC.

The Art of Gambling: The Mysteries of Laura: "The Mystery of Art Ace"
This week on "The Mysteries of Laura" Laura and the gang gets a case of a murder of an artist who was part of a illegal gambling.
When someone finds a dead body in a garbage can, at the time the body is found Laura is taking the boys to school and singing "Take A Little Piece of My Heart" by Janis Joplin. The one thing that I love to hear Messing sing is that she can have fun with it.
Later, Laura and Jake are walking to the crime scene where the victim, David, a worker at an arts gallery for his dad, found in a dumpster. Laura looks around, she talks about a beer bottle that she use to drink in college.
After finding out more of the victim, they go to where he works and talks to his sister and father. The victim's sister was surprised but his father, not really.
Later on, Laura and Jake find out from David's sister that he was at a karaoke bar the other night so Laura and Jake went there since it was near where the victim was found at. As Jake was asking everyone at the bar, Laura sees a karaoke bar and decides to go up there and sing Joplin's hit song. That distracted and the owner of the bar and her bodyguard went to take care of it while Jake sneaked into the back and found an illegal poker game.
The owner did see David there the other night, winning $20,000. The victim was found with the money in his pants thanks to Laura. So Jake told the owner to not cancel the next poker game and decides to put in Laura in the game.
And with Laura going to be in the game, Jake thought that she could get some help in the game of poker by the one person that they both know, Laura's dad. Laura's dad, played by Robert Klein, is a single, divorce who to Laura are not on speaking terms for about a year.
The gang found out that a famous "Page 6" celebrity goes to the game, so Billy and Meredith meet up with the guy and after given Billy a hard time at a strip joint for rental, I'm guessing, Meredith gave him a bit of a moment of his life, force going.
After talking to Billy about the game and not there, the guy accepts to get Laura in the game. That means that she had to go get over her feeling of her dad and learn about the game. Of course, there were a few things that got her upset but Laura did manage to win over her dad and after accepting to help her, he wanted to spend some time with his grandchildren, which he did.
As Laura goes to the poker game as Red Velvet, like the cake, she then starts looking around for the likely suspects. While outside the place, Jake, Meredith and Laura's dad are in the van watching what's happening.
As the poker game goes, Laura tries talking to each member, she spots the one that is a bit aggressive like he has lost the last game. As soon as she talked to everyone including the cocktail waitress, she then talks about David and soon pulls her badge out. The aggressive guy then flips the table like you would have seen in the Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Laura told to go after the waitress. Meredith runs after her and tackles her to the ground. After talking to the waitress, she mentions of the guy who had an argument with David's father, which was seen on video tape.
So since Laura is at the doctor's after that table flip accident, Meredith and Max go out art shopping and finding the suspect. Max and Meredith find him and starts talking, but he really isn't much on talking about it. So Max and the suspect soon bid for a painting and when Max won the art piece, Meredith talked to the suspect which led right to the father as the main suspect.
So Jake and Laura talk to the father again and when he talked and was going to show the books, he confess to the murder. But as he confessed to the murder, Laura as she looks at the books again and soon her father brings the kids, who are full of sugar. She gets upset and we found out why she's upset with him. That would be because he brought Jake to Thanksgiving after she found out that he cheated on her.
Soon after Laura's dad says that he was doing what a father does, that gave a hint that David's father isn't his murderer, but his sister. As Jake and Laura go back, Laura talks to the sister again mention about her father. Jake, meanwhile, goes up to David's sister's office, snoops and has found what is the murder weapon, a bowling pin with sparkles.
Jake brings the murder weapon and soon Laura looks at an art piece that had beer bottles. The guy is David's sister's boyfriend and apparently he wanted David to help try sell his art at the poker game but that didn't work and which lead to his death.
After the case was solved, Laura heats up frozen dinners and her dad comes by to apologize. He didn't want her to become like him and after she forgives. Then he plays with the kids and she cooks up another TV dinner.
This episode was just funny as it could be. Laura singing in this episode was hilarious but not as hilarious as seeing Messing and Klein working on one another as father and daughter. There was chemistry there.
Also it was great to see Meredith show more of her tough side in this episode. I'm really like her character.
Next week episode deals with a lunch party and a murder with a twist.
Side Note: This week it was the network has picked up a full season of the show. That doesn't mean that the show will get picked up for another season, that's way too early. It's doing really well, the best since Deal or No Deal was on Wednesday nights at that time slot. Would recommend to spread the word of how good this series is, how fun and good crime stories it is.
You can catch "The Mysteries of Laura" Wednesday nights at 8/7c part of #WomenCruchWednesday on NBC.

Tricks, Treats and Foolishness
Mary Me: "Scary Me"
Since Halloween is this Friday, we get to see some shows do their Halloween special episode. "Marry Me" did their own with Anne and Jake changing their Halloween plans and doing a haunted house in their apartment.A neighbor of Jake and Anne's proves to be an extreme protective mother that wants everyone in the apartment not to wear costumes and such. That throws Anne and Jake mad, so they provide their own version of Halloween and not a classic Disney version of it.
The two dress up as the zombie version of Lucy and Dezi. Anne acting like the true Lucy while Jake acts out to other different characters and saying their own catchphrases. Funny scene from these two was when a kid was left in their place and had to take him back but he kept playing with them.
Apparently he's the son of the neighbor who wants Halloween to be a safe holiday. Hence way he didn't want to go back home.
Meanwhile Gill is going out trick or treating with Kay, even though he doesn't think about his ex-wife he really does and thinks he needs to cheer her up. So Kay had an idea to take the bowl from his ex-wife and rob it.
When Gill sees what's happening, he takes into action, as he's dressed as Spiderman. He knocks Kay out like what you would see in the WWE show.
This episode was felt laid back but relaxing and funny. You really didn't have to follow it to hard to understand what's going on. Loved how Anne and Jake were Lucy and Dezi, but also there seemed to be a bit of Will & Grace from season one when they did their Halloween episode with the kid.
You can catch "Marry Me" Tuesday nights at 9/8c on NBC.
About A Boy: "About A Will-O-Ween"
One thing to learn about Will-O-Ween is to know the three B's. Booze, Bros and Babes. Once you know the three B's you are set for "Will-O-Weens"Will is throwing his own Halloween party and as he';s doing that, Marcus and Fiona aren't much for the scary holiday because it's a holiday to celebrate diabetes. Marcus thinks he's cruse because of the horrible things that have happen to him a long time ago. Soon he will learn to have fun on Halloween and not be so frighten about it.
ps. He then goes out and see Marcus and soon they go out trick or treating getting candy and stuff.
There's a moment between Marcus and Will that helps Will get through the pain of his break up and as well as Marcus as he find out that he's not cruse.
This episode was funny from point A to point Z. So many funny moments, probably the funnest moment was when Will was seeing Andy so he could get him to come to his party, hence his bro at the party. Will sees Andy dress up as a green pea, which to Will look like the joy green wiener. Jokes kept coming after.
You can catch "About A Boy" Tuesday nights at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.
Chicago Fire: "Madmen and Fools"
This week's episode of "Chicago Fire" deals with a family feud but also a misunderstanding in a way.It seems Dawson doesn't think that being trained at the academy means that she's ready to do the stuff that Herrmann and others can do. That's little thinking as Herrmann tells it and gets her trained the sledgehammer and other things. She's doesn't seem to happy at first but hey, she's getting what she'd asked for...to be treated like any other candidate.
Meanwhile after a scene with a boy's head caught in the fence on a story high apartment building and after rescuing him, the mother doesn't seem to think that since her son is okay that he needs to go to the ER. Britt thinks so but after the doctor check him and saw his file that had records stacked high of abuse.
The child was taken away from his mother and soon the mother come to the firehouse to talk to Britt to ask for recommendation of her not being a bad mother. The mother tells her and Severide about how she was young when she had her son and got married to an alcoholic but after getting a restraining order on him and being clean for two years.
At first, Severide didn't want to get involved because of what happen with Shay last year. But Britt did encourage him and soon they visited the mother's place, asked questions and make sure that she's telling the truth. Soon they go down to DCFS and talked to a guy who has a ton of paper. He tells them that he'll look into it when he's got time.
Soon, Britt comes back and shows her bad ass side telling him that he needs to check and get the mother and child together. For the first time, I'm really like the character of Britt. She's someone that has heart but yet we're still learning about her.
Also, Mils and Newhouse are working on a little something. Apparently, Newhouse helps divorce people get what their stuff that was taken from their spouse. Newhouse takes away a dog from a guy and gives it back to his ex-wife. Pretty cool but he does pay the price as Newhouse was getting his phone from his car and get his ass kick from someone who tells him that he knows where he lives.
And the other thing, after finding out that his sister is being scammed away with very little money from her husband, Casey fights to get her something better in return. I was really hoping to see some blood between Brother and brother-in-law but that didn't happen.
Casey's sister didn't want to fight custody, so she decided to take the deal and get back into teaching. After seeing his niece talking to him, Casey asks Newhouse for even more help and got something to blackmail his brother-in-law to give his sister a better deal.
This episode was really good, had everything from excitement and just down right oh my god moment with what Severide did as he went to Las Vegas for the weekend, was hoping to some of the guys from squad would come but didn't and asked Britt to come but declined. Soon we see Severide playing by himself and soon a very pretty lady comes and soon he talks to her and then after a good roll, he kisses her and soon fires are lit.
What will this be for the Lindsey-Severide relationship? I would probably not want to piss Erin off like kissing another girl.
This is the last episode until the show returns in two weeks (Nov. 11th) which will be the event of all events this fall season. The two night, three-show crossover episodes that no one should miss. Here's a link to the promo: Chicago Fire November 11th promo
You can catch "Chicago Fire" Tuesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

The Hunt: The Blacklist "The Mombasa Cartel"
So the question that we've been asking for the last couple of weeks is what is Liz Keen hiding behind that door that she has someone guarding? That answer was told but I won't tell right now.
This week's episode of "The Blacklist" deals with a group that poachers that don't deal with animals but humans. In a way the hunt was on for this and Liz's secret.
We come to a couple of back stories of human poachers killing people. One who was a witness to it as a young boy, may be a surprise to you at the end of who it was.
As we come to the present, we see Red and Liz in Red's apartment and Red is watching about Loins hunters. Disguised by what he starts talking about the next person or persons on the list. This time its poachers.
They hunt certain people, rich, poor or so and hunt them down, kill them and then skin them and stuff them. Sounds like this should be an episode of Hannibal right? Well anyway, Liz and the gang got word of the latest victim, who happens to be skinned off and left his bones, where you can still see some blood vessel marks on the bones at least, from my point of view.
The gang traces back to a place in Alaska. So Ressler goes there by himself and check things out. It leads him to a cabin out in the middle of the wilderness. He spots an elderly lady and soon her son. As soon as Ressler was about to leave, he sees what the son had under the truck and it was two people in cages tagged. Then Ressler was knocked out and soon put into a cage.
Ressler wakes up and soon the cages open for him and the other guys, both have a yellow tag on their ear. As they get out they hear what sounds like an animal call but it really wasn't. It was the hunter.
Ressler stops on guy and talks to him about what's going on until he starts to go through withdraw signs because he's getting a bit addicting on his pain meds. It's not who you think would be, not that son of that lady but her youngest, Matthew, who's 7 foot tall dude that looks like the character from Men In Black.
Ressler runs and spots a campfire along with he thought were people until he realized that they were dead people who were stuffed. Soon, Matthew comes by and talks to his stuff pets, if you call it, and soon Ressler gets a jump on him, but Matt pins him to a tree until Ressler grabs a knife and stabs him in the stomach.
Matthew then goes back home to his home and to his mother where he has a nice bubble bath waiting for him, mostly after every hunt. He comes in and she's upset so she puts him int he tub and as soon as Keen and the FBI Squad come in she kills him and herself by dumping the radio into the tub.
As soon as that event was over, Keen sees Ressler and without saying any word puts his head down and admits that he has a problem.
That's not what all went down in this episode. Peter Fonda guest starred in this episode playing the high rich man who tries to end poaching but encourages it since his wife and sons are the ones in Alaska.
Keen talks to him but it was Red that had that last conversation with him. Red who asked him for something and got soon then told him about a story of a little boy who witness murder and human poaching but his life turned around and he is a brilliant and brightest person that he has ever know. And that person that Red is talking about is Dembe.
Then Red kills off Fonda's character off. That was one quick guest spot for someone like Fonda. I have no problem of his character or the way the show used his performance status.
And of course, the story that we all wanted to know is what is Liz hiding. Well, her watchman got to see what was behind that door and threaten her to tell Red before he does. Well that backfired on her quick so she fought fire with fire and sent him to jail by saying he knows that where about of Raymond Reddington.
But soon at the end of the episode, we see Liz go in, the camera is on her and she talks and as she was down talking we see that the thing that she was hiding was a person by the name of Tom Keen. Apparently he's not dead and that Liz has hidden him.
I seen on twitter that most of the viewers and fans weren't surprised. I was mostly surprised because I knew that he wasn't dead that Keen let him go and he was going to same day get her. But still I love the surprised of this secret. Tom is alive and is in the hands of Liz.
Now what's going to happen is something that viewers should really stick around because there's only two more episodes until the show goes to a break until we see the two-part episode that starts on Super Bowl Sunday after the game and coutine on its new night Thursdays at 9/8c.
Side Note: Last week Marvel released the new trailer of the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" in which James Spader is the voice of Ultron and in this trailer gives a chilling look to the movie that comes out on May 2015. Here's a link to it: "Avengers: Age of Ultron" trailer
Spader's voice gives a chilling aspect for which I think fits him best to play the character. Even if I don't know much about Ultron but will very soon. Also the part where he says "I'm free. There are no strings on me" just sets goosebumps all over.
You can catch "The Blacklist" Monday nights at 10/9c on NBC
