I keep falling asleep during The Blacklist. I may need to just wait to watch it instead of watching it live.

I may have used the wrong term. But I just found this episode lazy, using the current Ebola scare as some sort of underlying backdrop for this episode. Plus way to go on giving the terrorists an idea. I know that is not saying much as ideas are given in other shows. With that said, I still love this show!

Also, pneumonic plague is completely treatable with antibiotics, and a hundreds-years old version would likely have zero resistance to any antibiotics.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumon..._and_treatment
Pneumonic plague is a very aggressive infection requiring early treatment. Antibiotics must be given within 24 hours of first symptoms to reduce the risk of death. Streptomycin, gentamicin, tetracyclines and chloramphenicol are all effective against pneumonic plague.
Antibiotic treatment for 7 days will protect people who have had direct, close contact with infected patients. Wearing a close-fitting surgical mask also protects against infection.

Edit: It should also be noted that the last pneumonic plague scare in the US was in July 2014, so that was likely the inspiration for this episode, not the Ebola outbreak.

It wasn't explained in the episode. However, it was explained at the end of the last season that Redington was using the FBI and the Blacklist to find people/assets he needed to fight Berlin. I'm guessing the key was something that Red knew she had before the events in this episode even happened, and he wanted it, so he used the death of the wife to steer the FBI to The Front so he could find her and get the key.
