Nicholas Obenrader is a man who audits and cleans up criminal organizations and currently works for one Neville Townsend. Red gives the case to Donald this week as they search for Nicholas, not to capture him, but to turn him over to Red so that he can infiltrate Townsend's organization. Red creates some distrust in Townsend's crew chief opening up a hole for Red to insert master thief Pria Lagari, not to steal from Townsend but to assassinate him.

Meanwhile Liz is working slyly with the task force to find Red's friend from the east by casing a cafe in Paris with Aram. Except Liz doesn't realize that her every move is being watched by Townsend. Liz and Ressler exchange info about our friend now known as Ivan Stephanov that is intercepted by Townsend's men. When Liz has Esi and her team try to abduct Stephanov, the gig is blown as Townsend's men get their first.

Communication is a two way event, even among spies. It just takes them a 50-year old typewriter to share the info!

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

Townsend, utterly disappointed at the failure in Kansas is at this wits end with Liz. He demands she do something to rectify the situation. Liz goes to her mother's storage locker to look into what might be a clue to bringing down Reddington. One thing she finds is a set of old Russian codes and seeks out an old Russian spy to decode them. He tells Liz the only way they can be decoded with a Russian Knot, a sophisticated typewriter that encodes a message on one and then the receiver can decode them on a separate Russian Knot on the other end.

Turns out there just happens to be a relic at a museum in Minsk and both Liz and the task force want it. The Task force thinks they are decrypting a message from Townsend about Red, where Liz is trying to decrypt a message her mother had about Reddington. In the end The FBI is duped with a fake message and Liz finds the real message, using a Cyrillic alphabet, "It's time. Mobilize all assets."

Misère is a game you play to lose and Agent Keen is now playing Red's game hard. But who will lose in the end?

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

#BooneIsBack! This week we see the triumphant return of Agent Elizabeth Keen, well 3 months ago anyways as the inevitable recap show of the season is upon us. But this is not like any other recap show you have seen in the past. This week we see what has happened since the disappearance of Liz back in episode 4 but from her point of view. We relive some moments from earlier in the season but are exposed to new ones as well. The scar makes a comeback and we find out that line about getting it at age 14 from the pilot...it was a LIE!

But in all the fun bits and interesting encounters between Townsend and Liz, the most interesting are the encounters Liz has with herself as she manifests her subconscious in the form of the former Mr. Kaplan played by Susan Blommaert. She helps convince Liz that she needs to be as ruthless if not more so than Red if she wants any chance of beating him once and for all. But how far Liz goes will leave shocked.

Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: Who is more a fault for Anne's accident, Red or Liz? Visit our feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278.

Here are a just a few of our favorite scenes from this week.

New Music this week brings us "Fa-Fa-Fa" from Datarock playing as the back track for the plan explanation from Liz to Skip and Esi. There is also what sounds like a haunting russian lullabye when we see kaplan again and then replays later in the episode.

We also get last week's songs again with "How Low" by Jose Gonazlés as we see the police station scene again and the chat between Kaplan and Liz (or is it Liz and Liz) in the car. Then "Angel of the Morning" by Merrilee Rush plays once more as Red returns to the house (again) for the showdown with Elizabeth.

We take a pause in the search for Liz to settle into the port of Kansas this week as Red visits Anne. Unfortunately for Red, Townsend never rests.

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

In a quiet small town in Kansas a woman named Anne lived a quiet peaceful life. She enjoyed Tennessee lilies, birdwatching and the occasional musical. One day she met a man, a sweet caring man, who took her out for wine and chocolates before standing her up at the movies. Anne is a forgiving person, a caring person, and she forgave this man and he has been visiting her off and on ever since.

But this is no ordinary man. This is Raymond Reddington who is currently being hunted down by Neville Townsend. On Red's fifth visit to Anne to play some bridge with her friends Lois and Bran, Red is discovered and tracked ultimately leading to showdown at the local police department. Don't worry about Red though, Anne's wrath is worse than any time in jail. But even though they are able to escape Townsend, Red can't escape Lois. That is until Anne steps in to help Red get free. Red foolishly though turns around to see Anne being held by Elizabeth Keen!

Our friend in the east distracts Red and Dembe so Rakitin can kidnap and kill Cooper. Unfortunately for Rakitin, Red has other plans.

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

Red is sent overseas to deal with our friend in the east, but it's just a ruse so that Rakitin can get to Harold; Torture him, kill him, and make it look like a suicide. He uses a congressman to lure Cooper out and then he dies in his sleep (with the help of some eyedrops). Well Red tells our friend to call it off, and he refuses. So Red calls Rakitin first to threaten him, then to have the post office track him. That leads to Rakitin's capture. And a much larger problem.

Rakitin knows too much. Therefore Red needs to get to him out of the post office. To do so, he reaches out to an old expert in poisons to craft a weapon that Red tricks Park into delivering, a letter sealed in an envelope, which kills Rakitin. In the end, Rakitin is dead, Cooper is still coming after Red, Park essentially murders a man, and Red threatens our friend in the east with his full force of will. Because for Red, it's all about the endgame and we are at the beginning of the end.

A geocaching middleman serves up a Saudi princess to her homeland after Townsend turns her over to Captain Kidd.

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

Captain Kidd is a glorified nerd who takes his love for the web, stratego, and crazy fetish with geocaching and turns it into an enterprise acting as a middleman for criminals. He receives goods from Criminal Party A and then uses Droppers to hide the goods in a secret location. At which point he then conducts a transaction between Criminal Part A the Seller, and Criminal Party B the buyer. For this week's case Townsend is willing to sell Sophia Maroon an LGBTQ+ champion and ally from Saudi Arabia to the Saudi's so that they can kill her for her behavior against the the country and the royal family. Thankfully Sophia is pretty good with a a gun and takes out the Saudi buyers just as Ressler and Aram arrive to save the day.

Meanwhile, to move the mythos along, Park tails Andrew Patterson aka Rakitin to a block short of Red's restaurant. Once Rakitin loses Park he confronts Red about Cooper and the FBI. This in turn has Red confronting Cooper pleading with him to stay out of it for his own good. Meanwhile Rakitin visits our friend in the east who is growing impatient with Red and provides a kill list to Rakitin with Coopers name on it.

Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: What names besides Coopers are on the kill list? Visit our feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278.

Neville Townsend wants the Sikorski Archive and he uses Dr. Laken Perillos to kidnap and torture Dembe to lure out Red.

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

The stakes are raised this week a woman who has a fetish for dishing out pain takes center stage in the cat and mouse game between Red and Townsend. Dr. Laken Perillos uses pain torture and disfigurement to make people do what she wants them to do, or die in the process. Neville tasks the doctor to go to work on Dembe in order to get Red to turn himself and the Sikorsky archive over to him.

After Dembe manages to escape and stop Red for turning himself over, we get our best interpretation of what Dembe the FBI agent would look like as he discovers that the person responsible for his kidnapping was none other than bomb and chemical expert Max Ruetteger. Cooper has a chat with Dembe to let him know that if he ever wanted a different life, he would make a good cop.

Liz wants to have a meeting with Neville Townsend, yes that Townsend. In order to pull it off and stay safe she uses a Cyranoid to put her plan into motion.

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

The Commissioner runs a group of people that offer themselves up as avatars for people of importance. These avatars are known as Cyranoids, outer shells that can transport visual and audio cues back to the person that is contact with them. Liz works her magic still from behind the scenes to "rent out" a Cyranoid who looks almost identical to her from behind at least. Liz's plan for Chemical Mary also moves forward this week as we learn that she is the sister to one Neville Townsend of the Townsend Directive. Liz leverages Mary to get a meeting with Neville but not in person, through her Cyranoid doppelgänger.

Meanwhile the task force continues to struggle with how to pursue Liz all while trying to uncover more about N13. Cooper fills the team in on the contents of the flash drive, that he suspects Red as N13 and working with Rakitin. The team sets off to find Rakitin only to turn up with a corpse. But Park the only one not loyal to Liz, figures out that real Rakitin is still at large, faking the body they found.

Ogden Greely helped build the United States military satellite infrastructure. He also built himself a back door to take it over and sell it to the highest bidder. Now it is up to the task force to stop it since Red has decided to take the day off for a date with Ann.

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

A life-long member of the NRO and NSA, Ogden Greely helped to build the technology that helps the military keep tabs on not only our countries military assets but also keep eyes on the enemy countries as well. This is done via space through satellite technology that has suddenly gone haywire. Turns out Ogden built himself a back door to take over the infrastructure and offer it up to the highest bidder. This tech in the wrong hands could spell certain doom for the United States. Therefore they call on the one man that could help bring a stop to Ogden's dastardly deeds, Director Harold Cooper.

Or is it Senator Cooper? Turns out the Governors office is grooming Harold to take a sitting Senator's seat if he is willing to vote yes on The Black Budget. Cooper, unwilling to do so gives up his senatorial bid, but instead saves the day by getting back the countries satellite technology, with a little help from Red as usual. Speaking of Red his birdwatching friend Ann is back and she is taking in the shows and sights and we get a moment of everyday non criminal Red for a brief moment in this episode. Where they have a lovely day together it all turns sour in the end as Red realizes a normal life will never be in his grasp.

As Park and Ressler close in on Mia we hear Deeds Plus Thoughts Fatboy Slim Remix of "The World's Made Up of This and That".

Chemical Mary wants the world to have biological weapons, Liz wants Chemical Mary, The Freelancer wants to explode planes, and Cooper may have just exploded his life.

Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.

Liz's plan is starting to come together. Or is it? This week we meet Chemical Mary, a woman that believes if the world has nukes that it should also have saran gas and a host of other nasty chemical weapons at its disposal. She is working on a weapon, HeePhoxy, that even the mere touch of it to human skin will shut down all organs of the victim, suffocating them from the inside out. Why Liz wants Chemical Mary? That's a question for next week.

This week is the how she gets Chemical Mary through the use of the Freelancer. Liz tasks Alban to corrupt a plane's sensors so that it will crash into another plane. Chemical Mary is supposed to be on that plane but instead she abducts Mary at the airport before she makes it onto the plane and instead tips off red and the task force on how to prevent the crash from happening, giving the FBI the freelancer to put back behind bars. Aram and Cooper however have bigger problems with the flash drive and even though Aram figured out how to read what was on it, that act may have just sealed Cooper a fate of certain doom.
