Lizzie finds herself at taking cover from an assassin, the Wendigo, who concerns Reddington so much he seeks aid from Ressler and the team to keep Lizzie safe on this week’s episode of The Blacklist. During the course of their investigation they find that the Wendigo did not have a contract to kill Lizzie, an open bounty had been placed on her head instead.
Meanwhile, Ressler heads to a presidential commission looking into his failure to capture Agent Keen and Reddington and also questioning why his department is not sharing key information with the CIA. His tries to explain that he is wary of handing information to the Director while there are allegations that he runs the Cabal. The director outperforms him resulting in Ressler being forced to work directly with the CIA.
The episode also saw Lizzie and Red attempting to make contact with Dembe during a brief reprieve. Reddington’s associate Vargas (who we know has betrayed him) shows up and takes them to an airport under the guise of regrouping with Dembe. They are ambushed by Mr Solomon and his team, who threatens to torture and kill Liz in order to properly grasp Red’s attention. These threats are cut short when a wounded Dembe comes to the rescue, catching Solomon’s team off guard and dispatching them swiftly.
And elsewhere we see Tom taking steps to strengthen his cover with Asher Sutton and locate the Russians who may be hiding Karakurt.
