Looks like some more story about Lizzie's husband. Good to see Margarita Levieva get some work after Revenge.

More focus on the husband or even background on Red and less "operative of the week" would be great.

I'm wondering why it's not evident that Reddington has had this plan in play for a long time basically so that he can now get rid of his competition.

I believe this episode showed that someone else out there greater than the people on his list that is his real enemy.

Red and one of his men mentioned the advisory last week. Red used his one favor from the NSA guy to get the file for Liz instead of information on his unknown advisory.

Yeah, I got that part but he was set up in this episode wasn't he? There was no reason to burn the bridge with her this early on. The surveillance guys that seemingly aren't connected to anyone we know mentioned the husband wasn't working for Red. Most likely the "adversary."

It's pretty obvious that her husband is not some innocent school teacher, but a highly advanced undercover operative that's good enough to withstand all of FBI/CIA's intense scrutiny. I was half expecting him to reveal himself at the end of the episode, but it looks like this will take several more hours to resolve the situation.
And yes, it's highly probable "Tom Keen" is working for the upcoming big bad...

Enjoyed this episode. Was worried about the split plot (husband and blacklist member), but when it all came together, it worked out.

I didn't particularly love this episode. I think it was twofold. First I'm usually fine with situations, but a few stood out as too casual. First how her husband was brought in and handled. Second the speed with which everybody hopped around the country or world. And how they disposed of the vehicle. How about you lower into the water instead of the dock?
The other issue was that this felt like a filler or stop gap. Does anybody think for a moment her husband still isn't who he claims?
Still enjoying the show, but this ep felt too disjointed and I didn't buy into the plotting.

The husband is obviously something in the spy world or has a much more complicated backstory than he is letting on. I think he's the one with a personal connection to Spader, possibly his son. I think he might also be Spader's main adversary. Spader is trying to get to him through his wife, explaining the interest in a lowly profiler.
