More inferences about Red's relationship to Liz. Looks like some of it MIGHT get cleared up next week.

I liked the episode, even though they never showed...

How he got that briefcase into the courtroom

Not as far as we know. I'm sure they would test the drug before thinking of giving it to the boy. He has a death sentence anyways, but who wants to accidentally liquify a boy?

Didn't like this episode. Wasn't really feeling like Barnes was badass enough for the Blacklist. Almost felt like I was watching a goon from Hawaii 5-0.

It wasn't a great episode, but I was glad to see Robert Sean Leonard again.

I thought blond agent who makes dumb decisions (you're really going to waste time undressing a firefight to go half in and exposed yourself?!) mentioned the kid was essentially dead. Lizzy commented that he was a by standard, piggy backing off their previous conversation about the guard at the courthouse.

I really really hope they are not family. Not only is it too obvious, but it's cliche.

Would like to get more answers on husband as well.

No surveillance team this week.

Sorry, meant to say courthouse. I was wondering how it got into the building itself. There should be metal detectors and X-ray machines to go through in order to gain entry.

I would really enjoy this more if the lead actress wasn't so horribly miscast.

+1

People keep talking about this is such a great show, but the female lead really prevents this from being more than just so-so for me.

I came to this same realization this week.
