This week on The Blacklist Aram takes center stage as he goes undercover working for The Wellstone Agency, a group that arranges interpreters for criminals. Turns out Liz hired Wellstone to broker a deal with a criminal as she continues to build out her empire. In a nice twist on the interpreter angle it turns out the head of the Agency is deaf and Aram needs to sign for his life as Red and the Agency leader broker an arrangement. We also learned that Aram can speak 6 other languages and Latin but that's only useful for talking to the Pope. Meanwhile Agent Park aka she-hulk strikes again as she goes after a man that torched and killed one of her best friends. Much like the rest of the task force she reaches out to Reddington to cover up her transgression.

But the big focus of the episode was all about Glen, and saying goodbye to the late great Clark Middleton. Red and Dembe arrive at Glen's house where we finally meet his mysterious mother Paula. She informs Steven (Red) and Bill (Dembe) that Glen had passed and that he had one last stick it to Red letter for him. His dying wish was to have Huey Lewis, yes that Huey Lewis to play his funeral and have his ashes spread at the statue of liberty. Which Steven, Bill and Huey do over a heartfelt eulogy by Reddington.

While Red and the head of Wellstone chat as Aram signs for his life "No Turning Back" by Claire Guerreso is heard. Later at Glen's life celebration we hear "Get Up Let's Go" by Richard Myhill followed by a classic Huey Lewis and The News track as we finish up at the party "We're Not Here for a Long Time, We're Here for a Good Time".

An old bank robber shares the family secret with his next of kin who in turn steals something of value from Reddington.

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

Abraham Moores is an old thief contact of Red's that he tracks down after he is handed a love note from Elizabeth Keen. Liz apparently has stolen something of value through Abraham at least that's what Red believes until we find out it was his daughter, Jennifer Ann Moores. Ultimately we learn Jennifer was estranged from Abraham, but when he came back into her life, it became obvious that her gift was either imitation or genetic. She was a natural thief. This parent may not have wanted a life of crime for his daughter but she is in the thick of it now. Sound Familiar?

Meanwhile Liz and Skip are hard at work to spring #145 on The Blacklist, The Freelancer from prison. You remember this guy from the second episode of the show's first season, the guy that stages big accidents to kill thousands just to take out 1 person. Why Liz wants this guy out of prison can mean only one thing, she is out to kill Reddington in a big way.

At the beginning of the episode this week as the birds attack we hear "James Bond" by Iggy Pop. There is a cool bed called "Hands Up" that plays when Aram tries to be James Bond at the coffee shop. Then we close out the episode with "Diviner" by Hayden Thorpe as Cooper and the US Government are hacked by the Russians for sticking a thumb drive in his computer.

Liz works her own version of "the list" in a fight for survival and to protect the only thing she has left, her daughter.

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

Elizabeth Keen has lost her father, her grandfather, her husband, and according to Liz her mother all because of one man, RED. What started out as a list to catch the worst of the worst Elizabeth has found herself to be enemy numero uno at the very top of The Blacklist. As Liz looks to escape into hiding to plan her next move against her on again off again crime fighting partner, she looks to take down Red's empire from the inside. See Liz has a list of her own and she is doing everything she can to get these big names to flip. Names like Brimely, Chuck, Morgan, Rutteger, Hede, even Marvin Gerard yes all of them are targets

But remember Red's cardinal rule, value Loyalty above all else. Every single attempt Liz makes this week to try and get one of the Syndicate to flip fails at every turn including even the man that went to prison for Red. Luckily there is a new man on the payroll in Skip Hadley and he knows how to play the long game for now. With Liz finally thinking like a criminal she convinces skip to flip and as a result steals $41M US from Red, scoops up her daughter and flies away to fight another day. Of course not before she hooks up with Ressler for a one night stand.

A few wires, a radio transmission device, 16 ounces of semtex and one finger is all it takes to finally take down Reddington, or is it?

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

A pound of flesh, and eye for an eye, Revenge isn't a passion as Reddington once said, it is a disease and right now Liz is the one who is sick. In this week's non numbered Episode "16 Ounces", we pick up right after the death of the woman claiming to be Katarina Rostova. Except the crime scene is clean and Red and Liz are nowhere to be found. Liz begins her revenge quest by turning in her badge and then systematically saying goodbye to each member of the task force while at the same time using them for her personal gain. She is able to steal 16 ounces of semtex to build a bomb to kill Reddington once and for all for taking her "mother" away.

Liz's PI is now in deep with Liz since she was the one that planted the bomb that ultimately failed. That failure, that revenge disease almost cost Liz the one person she holds most dear, and certainly destroyed any friendship she may have with Aram in the future. Thankfully Cooper and Reddington, Liz's two father figures in her life, still want to save her from this dark path by making her the top of The Blacklist. How will things pan out? Tune in next week.

Harry Lennix aka Director Cooper on the The Blacklist stops by to chat about life as a Black Actor, his journey as Cooper, and his new African American Museum for Performance Arts.

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

Terrence "Dresser" Williams, Commander Lock, General Swanwick, Boyd Langton, and – of course – our favorite FBI agent, Harold Cooper. These are just a few of many characters Harry Joseph Lennix III has portrayed over the many years of his enduring career. Each one, different in personality traits, yet carrying one similarity that is quite inescapable: the acting prowess of Harry Lennix. On this special episode of The Blacklist Exposed, Troy and Aaron sit down with Harry Lennix to discuss much more than simply The Blacklist. For an actor with such a storied career, we wanted to learn as much as we could about the only man who dares go toe-to-toe with Red Reddington.

From Lennix's humble beginning in Chicago, IL, to how his brother almost accidentally inspired Harry's acting ambitions, to his initial aspirations with the church. Then we segue to Lennix's lauded career, 30+ years of work with filmmakers including Spike Lee and Zack Snyder (with even more details on that Justice League news), his love of musicals and Shakespeare, before ultimately tackling the role many of us love him more, Harold Cooper. PLUS Harry has also created a new organization in the African American Museum for Performing Arts (AAMPA) which exists digitally today and soon will have a permanent home on the south side of Chicago.

This is an interview any fan of The Blacklist will appreciate, followers of Lennix's career will love, and any aspiring artist will respect. THIS is our interview with Harry Lennix.

The battle between Red and the woman Liz thinks is her mother finally comes to a head as the identity of N-13 is revealed.

Liz wants answers from her grandpappy and sadly he is not giving Liz or that woman claiming to be Katarina Rostova any satisfaction. In fact Dom is willing to die to protect the secrets he has. That is until he has a seizure and then starts hallucinating visions of his daughter Katarina played by Lotte Verbeek this week. Turns out according to Dom that Katarina stole the Sikorski archive and now Red has it, but so does Katarina. Confused just you wait.

The task force is on the hunt to find Liz and her "mother" but Red gets the head start via a tracker placed on Ressler via Dembe. Red essentially kidnaps Liz and has Dembe hold her until this last part is done, killing a man named Heidiger to draw out blonde Katarina and end the conflict once and for all. Except, that conflict ends directly in front of Liz who will never be able to forgive Red.

Welcome to a new segment we call Katarina's CONversations that part of the show where we relive some of our favorite Katarina moments from this week's episode. Then you can vote for your favorite here.

This week our first clip is the convo between Dom and his sort of daughter. The second is the fateful ending to the Red and Kat relationship. Which was your favorite? If you truly felt you saw real Kat one final time vote #KatDaughter. Or if you despise the fact that Liz has truly picked Kat's side vote #KatMother.

A masterful stroke as always by John Bissel and Dave Porter both this week. Dave's backing tracks were on point and the pull of "Martha's Dream" by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis from The Proposition Sondtrack was perfect to close out the show. The dramatic pause for the gun sots, simply the best!

A criminal mastermind that helps other criminals disappear, Roanoke is tasked with helping Katarina with her escape plan, or so the FBI thinks. Turns out Roanoke is living his life out in a nursing home and Katarina has used the man's name to invoke a plan to kidnap her father and Liz's grandfather Dom, right from under Red's nose. Meanwhile the task force is is played like a fiddle in this elaborate scheme all the way up to the bitter end when Liz and Ressler finally connect face to face, literally. Having chosen her side will Liz get the answers she is seeking? Will we finally learn the truth behind Red?
