Though this love interest of his was one heвЂ™d never mentioned, he avenged her mightily. Two, it did substantial character work on several of the major players, including Reddington. One, it included an interesting subplot involving Tom (more on that later). But this episode was much more for several reasons.

Task force stops blacklister after x amount of collateral damage. Reddington intervenes with said blacklister as a means to a personal end. It started out remarkably similar to the old status quo. The episode still started out slow, but I was wrong in thinking that it lost a step. But listen up and donвЂ™t tell my wife because IвЂ™m about to admit something that I never do: вЂњI was wrongвЂќ. But with the fantastic television they have been producing so far this season, it largely felt like a step down. I loved this show then and I love it still. It felt a lot like a вЂњmiddle of season 2вЂќ episode ofГ‚ The Blacklist.Г‚В Which is fine, donвЂ™t get me wrong. This episode started out and I was underwhelmed.

The task force works to apprehend Alistair Pitt, while Samar is sidetracked by news of her exвЂ™s engagement, and Liz attempts to arrange an open adoption for her baby.ДЄlright, I admit it. Red puts the team onto a blacklister who appears sparingly to broker deals, with often violent results. This week onГ‚ The Blacklist:Г‚В Tom takes a job working with his ex-lover, Gina Zanetakos, to get money for his impending fatherhood. I was actually a little disappointed by the way the episode started out, but by the end I was riveted as I always am. Whether its the strength of an entire arc, or just a little story being richer and stronger than I thought possible, this show keeps finding new ways to entertain and intrigue me. The BlacklistГ‚В constantly defies my expectations.
