I just saw the episode and they continue with ruining Liz for me... I didn't expect anything else because the Canadian promo made it clear. She made a promise, she broke it, AGAIN! I can't help it but her character might be the one who's driving me away from this show. Her relationship with Red is not appealing to me anymore because I start to realize that Liz really is a narcissistic woman who doesn't really care for anybody. Or shall we say for those who let her down the worst. But that's okay. They shall go there. And you know what? The thought of that blind item about a show killing down one of it's two leads being TBL doesn't appear too bad for me anymore. I so think that Liz really needs to fall down, really fall down without ANYBODY being there to help her to realize how lucky she was that Ressler, Red, Aram and so on all risked their lives, their jobs, everything for her... And she was still asking for more without somehow even trying to be of help.
Yeah, I know, I'm super pissed. I can't really think of anything that could make that better again anytime soon. The only thing that was really drawing me to that show is somehow gone for me. That special bond, that mystery that was connection Red and Liz.

I again really loved Samar because she has exactly the same opinion that I have. Liz should prepare to take responsibility for her action. Nobody forced her to shoot the AG, she made that decision. She isn't who she was anymore and she won't go back to her old life. This life is gone and Liz should finally be ready to accept that. I wish she'd at some point meet Samar and Samar telling her that exactly!

Besides I love it that Samar tried to make sense of the actions Red has taken so far and really can't make a sense of it. I can't either... And there is episode #4 again and I bet this one will be super important at the end of the season or for the mid-season finale because it was always #4! This page Red took out of the book... I'm wondering what it was.
Any ideas what his plan really could be? We know he wants to take down the Director in hopes to exonerate Liz but that for sure isn't everything...

Dembe and Mr. Vargas!!!! I didn't expect anything less because lets be honest, we all knew how easily Mr. Vargas could be broken. And he was, betraying Dembe, betraying Red and shooting Dembe!!!! OMFG! I want to know how he is. Mr. Vargas after all is a betrayer now. He got Niko killed for betraying Red and didn't do anything different in the end...
Did you see Red's look, hear Red's voice. I wanted to cry so badly when Red walked into that room Dembe was in just to see it was empty.

On another note I was wondering if Liz even is interested in what's happening to Dembe. This one question of hers, just nice and letting him distract her by her own 'problems' again just made me roll my eyes. She doesn't really care, I got the feeling she just asked to have asked. Otherwise she would have been more persistent. I would have been. Another reason why I so can't stand Liz these days. For her it's all about her, nothing more...

I loved that Leonard Caul was back!!!!!

Aram and Liz at the beginning!!!! OMFG! My heart

And when Aram told Samar that she looked beautiful What an episode!!!!

Miranda

This episode was so amazing!

We finally got a higher ranked blacklister. I really liked that. Yes she was a very sick and twisted blacklister but this is the kind of blacklister we are kind of used to. I was a little confused on who the Djinn was at first cause I thought it was the Alice, the blond woman. I didn't think it was Nasrim. '

I can not believe Liz. If Aram wouldn't have told her that Tom reached out to Ressler for help and that he was back, she would have never known and she would have not reached out to him. Yet again she broke a promise. I knew immediately when she made that promise that Red that she was going to break it again. Why does she continue to do that? I am so sorry Kris that you start liking her less and less and that she is ruining the show for you. I really hope you don't stop watching.

Dembe! He is out! I am so happy that he got out himself! and Mr. Vargas! WTH happened there?! If Red is going to find out that he shot Dembe, that he turned over to Mr. Solomon and the Cabal Mr. Vargas is so dead! I can not believe that he shot Dembe! I need to know how he is doing. I need him to be alive.

Pretty amazing that Leonard Caul is back again too!

Aram and Liz! He was so happy to see her and that hug was very sweet. And pretty awesome that we got to see his appartment. His reaction when Leonard Caul came walking out was priceless!

Aram and Samar! We finally had a little moment between them. He was so sweet for telling her how nice she looked.

I think we didn't have enough Ressler and Samar in this episode.

alt.er

Kris, I want to marry you post. Can I please?

It was so sweet. Did anyone notice the photo of the two of them on Aram's fridge? Have Saram been canon all this time without us noticing?

Also, Ressler's side-eye was epic. One of the few brightspots in the episode for me.

+1000. It's as if the writers want us to hate her. Apart from lying to Red, I was really put off by the shower, of all things. I mean, there was Red conspiring with Leonard Caul and she waltzes off to take a shower? No interest whatsoever in what was being said between them. Why do the writers insist on making Liz so oblivious, shallow and self-centred. And how long did it take her to enquire about Dembe?

I just can't take Dembe in pain anymore. This needs to end soon. Solomon needs to die in pain. I'm still holding out hope that Vargas might be playing the long game.

Aram is too good. Liz doesn't deserve him at this point. And did he have to mention Tom to her?
His reaction to Leonard Caul came across a little too cute to me. He's an agent for crying out loud. Some guy comes out of his apartment and he doesn't reach for his gun! I like to think Aram is a bit more alert and badass than that.

I actually liked Tom in this episode. He's not my favorite character but the actor is very charming. I was loving the get-in-to-character montage and then I remembered with a chilling effect that this is what he did to Liz too.

All in all, I liked the episode but didn't love it. Ressler, Aram and Samar didn't have much to do. I'm getting a little worried that this might be be the beginning of sidelining them like season 2.

Romantic In Denial

OMG! I'm afraid to watch this now. The episode sounds amazing and I'm not even sorry I came here to be spoiled a bit. Happy that Dembe got away - that's my favorite part and I also hope he doesn't die. I''ll be back after watching.

believer14

Agree with all that's said about Liz.

James and his monologues, FANTASTIC!!!

Ryan is a great actor, what alt.er said!

Can we somehow kill Tom so that we can enjoy Ryan in some other show? :O

The escape was also great, it's so Red-style.

What the father to the blacklister did was horrible, I was surprised, I thought at first that he raped her. :O

That's about it, not in a mood for a long recap/review.

oh, I forgot Dembe(he will live, right?), I have a theory (the negative theory), what if Vargas was already on team Cabal so they just throw him there that he can get close to Dembe to find out where Red is?
