Secret Is Revealed: The Blacklist "Sutton Ross (No. 17)" Season Finale

Image result for The Blacklist Sutton Ross

In the season finale of The Blacklist, the secret will be revealed one way or another. Spoiler Alert!

Let's recap it: We meet Sutton Ross as he pretends to be FBI agents and steals Data and information on someone as he tries to steal someone for money. He's the guy that Red and Liz are hunting down, because he has the duffel bag of bones. After both failing to get him, Liz finally got to Sutton with his own game, pretend to be a buyer.

Just as Liz demands answers from Sutton, he tells her that he'll tell her only alone, which happens but til he starts to hold her hostage. Red thinks that Sutton is bluffing, but Aram and Cooper can't take it and lets both of Liz and Sutton go. Sutton calls Red to demand to see him or he'll kill Liz.

After making an arrangement and distracting the FBI on where Red went, Red gets there tied to a chair in-front of Liz. With Red not talking, Sutton takes Liz to the other room and being beaten. It was until Red decides to talk til the FBI came in with Dembe and Red goes in rescuing Liz. He soon leaves with the duffel bag and shoots Sutton point blank in the chest. Red walks out and heads to Dominic's house to burn the bones, thinking that Liz doesn't know, but that's not true.

As Liz is standing over Tom's grave, she's talking to him like he's actually there and tells him what really happen that as soon as Sutton talked that he needed to get out and that the escapee was Liz's plan. Plus Liz meets with the person that helped along with this, Jennifer. They planned to get Red talking, even if Liz had to get hurt badly for it. But she finally tells Tom that she knows the secret of the bones that it's Raymond Reddington and that she'll take down Red one way for good.

So okay, this season finale was everything that I had hoped and more as it was exciting, dramatic, emotional (with Aram and Samar: ALL GOOD!). But the point that I really didn't believe was Liz taken hostage fro Sutton at the Post Office. I would know that Liz would kick Sutton's butt in that situation. Megan is a great actor, but Liz wasn't so much. But I will admit that I was shocked to see Jennifer there as I really didn't think she was involved. To see two half-sisters come together and working against Red was pretty creepy and shocking. This really sets up a terrifying season six, unless Red can figure it out before Liz takes him out with her soon to be assembled team. 

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10 and the season a 9/10.

You can catch The Blacklist as it will return next season (mid-season on Fridays sometime in January) on NBC.

Breaking and Pushing: Chicago Med "The Tipping Point" Season Finale

Image result for Chicago Med The Tipping Point



The season finale of Chicago Med had everything you were hoping and still leaving you wanting more but it left with some pretty shocking moments.

Let's begin with the most biggest part of the episode: the separation of the twins. Even after Rhodes' stepped down after he lost a patient in last week's episode, he still has a hand in it no matter if he's scared of not. Playing more of viewing from behind the scenes, he did leave his mark and got in there to help perform a difficult procedure that required a shunt in the heart and later helping with the separation. It left with a very nice offer to Rhodes a position at the Mayo Clinic and after telling Bekker about it, it kind of broken things with them.

Ethan get worried about his sister running away with April reminding him that what she did was wrong to take and steal pain meds from the hospital. But when Deb and Kiki come in with pain, throwing up and liver enlarge, turns out that they have Hep. A and both him and Manning headed out there looking at everyone else to make sure they're okay. They find Laura and Ethan's sister as well, all brought back. Laura got the worst of the case and that also includes Hep. C. With her diagnosis, Laura's baby, that was adopted, had to come in to get tested and after seeing her for a few minutes and learning that she will be okay then Laura's condition took a tumble.

Reese has been trying to take care of her dad by helping him pick a nursing home for his rehab and let alone helping him get exercise too (walking). Charles gets word about the parents of the college student was murdered and after a couple of minutes talking with Haywood, he managed to have a chat with the parents and finding a item from her room (stuff monkey) which would later be found in Haywood's apartment.

Goodwin not only had to deal with the big twin separation news, but also was asked to be at board meeting but it was Burt, her ex-husband, that came in after trying to kill himself. Halstead tried to talk to him, even Charles tries to talk to him (even as a friend) but that didn't work til it was Sharon that tells him to think of what he still has, their three children, which kind of helped get him to admit of seeking help.

Now with all those moments, lets put those that left us with in shock state of wishing for the fall season to start. After treating  his sister, Ethan is determined to help Emily but April thinks that she can't get the help due to being damaged but Ethan isn't given up on her and tells her that she's coming back to stay with them that quickly turns into just being with him. After a successful day, Sharon gets word of a new Trauma chief on the floor and a new CCO of the hospital that she might need to keep an eye on. Rhodes and Bekker might have broken things up again.

After losing Laura, word about the twins being separated was celebrated among the hospital and even Frisch comes over to Halstead and asked if he wants to celebrate with him, for which he turns down and  Natalie finally learns who it was that he had a one night. After that went south, he's plan for a proposal up on the roof turned to being in the parking lot and asking on the spot.

But real moment came when Charles confronts Haywood about stories of murders around the campus where he taught and as they talked Haywood tells Charles that he can't admit that he had won his daughter back over what he had tried to do. But when Charles talks more about the case, it pushes Haywood fall to the ground with his new heart stopping leaving with Reese to come in and see both of them on the floor.

"The Tipping Point" seemed to be the tipping point of where are characters are with life challenges. With all the good things that had happen for the characters, it could be broken with one little saying or not informing or pushing to the limits. I thought the season finale was as strong of an episode as ever with strong character development and leaving us some major questions about certain characters: like for one did Natalie said yes or no? Even that was awkward proposal. But the big one was Haywood collapsing to the floor in front of Charles and Reese coming in at the end. Is he dead? If he is I assume that he caused his heart to stop in the way that he had Reese played to his hands an all. Probably not going to make the relationship between Reese and Charles good again. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10 and the season a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Med when they return in the fall Wednesday night of #OneChicago at 8/7c on NBC.

Fight For Love: The Blacklist "Lawrence Dane Devlin (No. 26)"

Image result for The Blacklist "Lawrence Dane Devlin"

The hunt is on, not just for the bag of bones for Red, but also for Samar as her life is in the balance.

Picking up where we left off in the previous episode, all hands are on deck to search and find Samar and her abductor and that includes Reddington to help too. Aram goes beyond, once again, to find Samar even if that has him getting answers from Moore, but in exchange for answers he wants his bible, for which Aram got him.

The only answer he would give was of a prolific killer that he had hired to kidnap the girl and Aram took that information and went with it. From searching they wind up finding the suspect Lawrence Dane Devlin, who happens to be a man who likes to kill and feed mother nature of them.

Finding the guy's hide out and lab, missed Samar and Lawrence, who happen to be driving Samar to another location to kill her. But she tries her best to stop him by stabbing him with a broken metal rod from the van but the final blow was for Lawrence was a bear attacking and killing him (thanks bear!). But as Samar grabs Lawrence's phone, the bear knocks the van that she's trapped in and it rolls down to the river, where she quickly calls Aram. Aram thinks of where she could be and when driving up he stops and after looking around seeing dead body and drag marks, he sees the van and runs down there. There he tries breaking in, finds and searches for the right key and as soon as he finds it he gets her out as quick as possible but would she be alive or dead? So far she's alive and on a breathing machine where Aram talks to her about getting married and that he won't leave her side while playing her song.

In the meantime, as Red goes out to searching for the bag of bones, he learns of where it might be at an auction under another crime boss. Red tries to arrange a meeting with him but turns him down til Red shoots the place up and demands to see the man. After they talk and asked about the bag and Ina Garvey but the guy never say a bag til they search at the video tape and see that Ian met with a man that Red thought was dead, Sutton Ross. After looking, he bumps with Liz as she too got the same information as Red did.

The two are at a stand still as both says that they'll find the bag of bones before they do, and leave it left it at that. Red leaves Liz there without given her a ride back home on his plane.

This felt like an episode that deserves a two hour time slot instead of a separating a week apart. As much as Red and Liz's story arc this half of the season has been a thrill ride and unlike any other Red-Liz relationship that we've ever seen, this episode was definitely an Aram and Samar episode. Showing hoe much they each love one another. It's a touching love story for the characters. Even the song playing while Samar is at the hospital was enough to be grabbing the tissues.

Anyway, the season finale is coming next week and with the news coming less than 12 hours before the NBC fall schedule was released the show gets picked up for a six season. And with that calming my mind, I believe that the finale will be unlike anything the show has ever done and that's just watching the promo and where we are at with everything on the line with Sutton Ross.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch the season finale of The Blacklist Wednesday, May 16 at 8/7c on NBC.
