I can't wait to see the new episode either... I again will start work later on Friday so I can right away watch it. I really hope that there won't be any problems with the link and it being available that early because we're back on wintertime already and the USA will follow next week...

Miranda

I have to work Friday so I can't watch it until the evening.

Lauren Helen Graham

Aww, Miranda I'm so sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll survive the day and it'll go by faster than you expect it to go...

OMG!!! What an episode! LMAO!

Aram hugging Ressler!! LMAO! Oh Aram! he just get cuter and cuter! hahaha!

Lizzie hugging Red when she gets in the car!!! Him holding her close and whispering, "Shhh." LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!

DEMBE!!!!! OMG!!! DEMBE!!!

Hahahaha!!! Vargas got a bullet! Loser! Shooting Dembe like that!!!

MR. KAPLAN!!!! fixing Lizzie into a DEAD POSE!! Loved it! lol!

alt.er

This was a much better episode than last week.

For me the best parts were

-when Dembe came and saved everybody. For once, Red was completely outmaneuvered and if it hadn't been for our badass of badasses, Liz would be dead.

-Ressler admitted in front of the whole world that he believes his partner is innocent. He took a big risk doing that and now has to deal with the Director. And NA meetings! Genuinely loved that the show hasn't forgotten about this. He is, as usual dealing with it the right away.

-Aram taking down that creepy website guy. And that Hug! Aram is like a golden retriever puppy, all love all the time. Revan catching them made it even better.

But Liz still had the minimal amount to do. But that too worked for me for once. And now there are three men who are blatantly shown to be in love with her. How can this end well?

Lauren Helen Graham

I really loved this episode as well. It was really good and fast paced and emotional still The perfect mix.

Dembe!!!!!! Him coming to their rescue And almost dying there, damn it, this guy! I love him. But where was Liz at the end when Red was with Dembe????? I'm really sad we never found out. Does that mean she's farther away or does it mean she's just waiting in the safe house?

Mr. Kaplan!!!! I so love this woman, it's unbelievable!

Red and Liz This was finally an episode where I really loved these two together. Liz hugging Red after she almost got shot. I so loved it. Or how worried Red was when he was on the phone with Aram and asked if one of the people dead were her. His panic, I'm not sure we ever saw him like that.
Or later on when Solomon said he'd kill her and make Red watch OMFG, that scene was sooo hard to watch for me. I first of all thought they wanted to rape her (oh bad, my thoughts ) But killing her wouldn't have been better. Red really wasn't able to do anything this time, he would have been damned to watch. That would have killed me.

Mr. Vargas though, we all knew he'd die by Red's bullet and he did. Now I guess we'll never know when Vargas switched sides or why I would have loved to know.

Ressler, I loved him in that episode. First of all getting to see him dealing with his drug addiction! Finally!!!!! A loose end is finished.
And him at the hearing, wow, I loved him there and I couldn't have agreed more. He was amazing there. I didn't see that hearing coming at all... I bet that the Director is behind all that because the task force refused to give the CIA and therewith the Cabal information on their manhunt of Liz and Red.
And now that son of a bi*** is going to be the leader of the task force with Ressler. I could puke, really. These people really have no clue what they are dealing with. Do you think that blond woman, that did the hearing, has some connection to the Cabal??? I'm really wondering and I'm wondering who exactly she is.

Still I think it really good by Ressler to decide to work with them. He can withhold information what he for sure will do! I'm sure it won't work for too long and I so wish he'd let Red and Liz know... Or Aram maybe or Samar. Somebody needs to tell them.

Aram and Samar, I loved these two again! The actions they took and thinking Ressler wouldn't like it but actually he did. He agreed! And Aram's hug for Ressler, damn it, it almost killed me!
Besides, Aram doing an interrogation, that was a first!!!!

Tom... Yeah, he had kind of his own storyline. It's as if we watch two shows at a time. All of the others being involved in something and him into something totally different. It doesn't fit for me.

believer14

Hahahah, that part about Tom was exactly what I thought... Like he is in his own world and then a reality check - desperate about Liz, get it together dude. But I love his scenes when he's not crying about Liz, give that man a spinoff!

So, many many many funny scenes in this episode. That Aram interrogation with Gavin or should I say Gavrilo Princip was like from The Big Bang Theory.
Caplan fixing Liz's pose.
Aram hugging Ressler, ahahahahah.

Good Ressler stories, past and present, nice to see.
I think Hitchin (the blonde woman!) is working with the Cabal, and I don't know how they easily believe whatever The Director says... So, that brings a question, what do you think The Directors number will be? Top 5, for sure?

And this is the worst blacklister in the history of the show. And he is no. 50 because of what? She posted a bounty on Liz's head, yeah, BIG THING, anybody could post that, Wendigo was way better. Or the blacklister could be Gavrilo Princip (can't write that without bursting in laughs ), would be a better choice. I really don't understand, the whole point of this blacklister is that Liz can sympathize with her.

The whole beggining, we all knew that it was stagged, right?

It's good to see Dembe back, but that action sequence was poorly written, directed, everything. You see Dembe aka Rambo with two guns in his hands shooting everyone while already got shot the day before in the abdomen, and of course, there is no bandage or anything, he is invincible, and then that hug just putted him down, c'mon. And Mr. Solomon just vanished like that. Ok, right...

Miranda

THIS EPISODE! I want to scream how much I loved it! The blacklister was really great! Never though that a young girl could do something like that. That was a good plot twist.

RESSLER, dude I want to marry you! I love you so much. He finally said that he thinks Liz is innocent! I knew that deep down that is what he thought and him telling Aram and Samar that he scared broke my heart but Aram hugged him was the best ever! and afterwards the "don't ever hug me like that again." was awesome!

Liz hugged Red!!! Finally she showed some affection! I never expected that she would do that. It was such a sweet moment. She was really worried. Red's face when Liz was lying on the table with Mr. Solomon threatening her, it broke my heart. I thought the same thing as you Kris, I thought they where going to rape Liz as well. Luckily they didn't do that.

Dembe to the rescue! Where did he come from?! I was so glad he was there and popped a bullet in too those guys! He saved Red and Liz! The hug between Dembe and Red! I hope he will recover soon. Seeing Red at his bed side at the end was so sweet.

Mr. Vargas. Told you he was going to be a dead man. Value loyalty above else. You double crossed Red and now he paid for that.

Aram had his first interrogation! And he did really good. He should do more of that.

I never expected Liz to call Samar. I liked their conversation.

Mr.Kaplan! She is finally back, just sad it was so short.

Well I have to say believer that in the beginning I was scared that Liz was really dead but after a few seconds I figured it was staged. Thank god.

i never learn

i loved tom's message to liz at the end! *SQUEE*

Romantic In Denial

What an awesome episode!!!

I was totally shocked that the young girl was behind Liz being on that website. Good job writers!!

Ressler to Aram: "Don't ever hug me like that again."

Dembe!!!! So happy that you'll be OK. Loved how he saved the day.

I could comment on every scene - all were compelling and kept me on the edge of my seat.

Lauren Helen Graham

Exactly my opinion Although I'm not sure what such a spin-off should be about. But yes, Ryan did a great job. The problem just is that all of Tom's stuff so doesn't match for me with the show right now... Sadly.

I was really wondering why they would believe the Director that much. I'm almost certain that Hitchin is a member of the Cabal. Her whole behavior, it so screamed Cabal. Sadly.
And the number, I was wondering about as well... I'm going with 5 but not any higher.

I partly agree, yes Mr. Solomon ducked away when he realized something was wrong. I'm not sure if the first bullets were fired already. But still I'm wondering where he vanished. Are there that many exists in a hangar?
And the Dembe stuff really was strange. The way he strode in and especially untied Red and Liz and then broke down. Maybe it was adrenaline? And how did he get there with that wound? Did he kind of bandage it? Or was he brought into a hospital and right away left after they bandaged it up? I don't really get the time line either.

The funny thing is that the blacklister actually wasn't the girl but her father... He was Arioch Cain and so he was the blacklister. Some kind of a false blacklister though But I loved that girl and why she did it and how all of it was connected.

Did anybody think that scene when Red let that guy fall down the rooftop really intense, too? Him saying that Red would never be able to stop them, that was all Red needed to let go and let him die. And when he looked up finally, at Lizzie That moment still gives me goose bumps.

About that I only liked the way they edited it in the end. Him speaking on her voice mail (btw, the phone is dead, she lost it when she was shot at) and all of the other guys being shown while Tom was talking.
