On the latest episode of "The Blacklist," there's an inconsequential case of the week, but who cares about that because Tom's jig, as they say, is up.
Case of the Week
Some hack-the-planet kid named Harrison steals the digital equivalent to an atomic bomb -- not to take out another country's infrastructure, not to sell it for a boatload of money, not to destroy it because no one should wield that kind of power. He steals it so his crush won't move away to Colorado. *womp womp*
The ending is like the bad part of "Speed" (the subway part at the end), but with lighting like Spike is going to show up and kill Lizzie, for she is the NYC-based supafly Slayer.
Moving on.
Tom, Lizzie and Reddington
Mr. Kaplan (hello, miss you!) finds Jolene and the Cowboy's bodies and Red calls in a "missing persons" report on Jolene. The...

If you’re like me, you’ve gone back and forth on Tom Keen. Is he a good guy, framed by the bad guys for things he never did and would never do, an innocent being used by evil forces to get to Liz and the FBI? Or is he a bad guy himself, lying to his wife and the FBI and up to no good? Tonight we found out the answer.But first, Red is trying to find out what’s going with Jolene Parker, a.k.a. Lucy Brooks, the woman who faked her death and is now pretending to be a teacher to get close to Tom. Red already knows where she is; he wants his investigator (Lance Reddick, Fringe fans!) to find out where she’s been and what she’s been up to. Meanwhile, Tom and Jolene are talking to other teachers about whether Lolita should be allowed in schools,...

"The Blacklist" had a fairly interesting case this week, but the real meat was in the last five minutes.
Case of the Week
Dianne Wiest guest stars as the episode's titular "The Judge," a woman named Ruth Kipling who founded the Amnesty Collective, a group that works with wrongfully-imprisoned inmates. But that's not really what she does. Instead, as the Judge, she gets payback on the prosecutors, judges, cops, etc., who purposely made mistakes or ignored evidence in getting their targets convicted.
She goes old testament on them, imprisoning them in her barn for the length of time their wrongfully-imprisoned counterpart is locked up. This case has a twist -- Assistant Director Cooper and his former prosecutor colleague are taken by the Judge for execution when a former soldier is killed by lethal injection.
Red swoops in to save the day for Cooper when he can show the Judge that...

Seems like we've been away forever, right "Blacklist" fans? The show didn't exactly come back with a bang with "Madeline Pratt," but there were some fun moments and perhaps another piece to the Raymond Reddington puzzle.
Case of the Week
A past associate by the name of Madeline Pratt comes back into Red's life, thinking she's enlisting his help to steal a valuable statue -- valuable because of what's inside. Red takes the case to the FBI team and Lizzie goes undercover as a supposed accomplished thief, since she picked up a few tricks of the trade from her late father.
Pratt turns out to be double-crossing Red, but once he figures that out, he double-crosses her right back and in the end, gets the statue and its contents. Originally thought to be a list of Russian spies from during the Cold War, it turns out the statue actually contains...

Was the mole revealed on this week's "Blacklist"? We think there is perhaps more to the story.
Case of the Week
The blacklister this week is no. 101, the Alchemist. He's Eric Trettel, who previously worked on the human genome project and was a DNA evidence expert. But when he was discovered to have falsified some DNA evidence in a mob case, he went freelance as a person who can make you "disappear" for the right amount of money.
Now Trettel is hired by wealthy, guilty people. He fakes their deaths by using innocent people for the bodies (including children, if needed) and manipulating genetic material/evidence.
As Agent Keen's team closes in on him, he kills the mob informant and wife (Peter and Catherine Madrczyk) that was hired to "kill" and then takes out his own wife and daughter, trying to eliminate any possible person who could lead the feds to him.

"The Blacklist" took a break this week for three hours of "The Voice" -- we know, we're dying too, so here are a few goodies to tide you over until next Monday, Nov. 25, which promises to be a game-changing episode.
First off, have you checked out the "Blacklist" interactive site? You can find it at http://www.042983.com, which if you'll remember is Lucy Brooks' ViCAP database number. Once there, you have to give it permission to access your Facebook but it then takes you on a fun journey of putting your friends and family on its spy board.
I decided that a friend is a "habitual liar," a colleague "pays cash for almost everything," that my mother-in-law is "most paranoid about her privacy" and then it turns out the man who presided over my wedding is likely on the Blacklist. Heh.
Secondly, good news -- ratings are still...

Monday's (Nov. 11) episode of "The Blacklist" introduced some interesting wrinkles to both Elizabeth Keen and Raymond Reddington's pasts -- and raised some questions of how they intersect.
We've dissected the idea that Reddington is Elizabeth's father here in our recap. The show heavily implied it last night, but it did not state it outright and if you go back and watch the scene between Red and Sam in the hospital, it conspicuously does not say what exactly Sam needs to tell her when he says, "I need to tell Lizzie. I know what we agreed, but before I go I have to tell her. She deserves the truth."
So, is Elizabeth Red's daughter? Jury's still out.
But Lucy Brooks might also be his daughter. At the end of the episode, Agent Cooper gives Red "one bite of the apple" by letting him access the Violet Criminal Apprehension Program database, where...

On the latest episode of "The Blacklist," Elizabeth's father is dying from cancer and Reddington steps in to "help" him -- and perhaps protect his own secret?
The Case of the Week
But first. Justin Kirk guest-stars as Nathaniel Wolf, a man purporting to be General Ludd, the leader of some modern-day Luddites -- a group aiming to "wash away the greedy ... oligarchs of corporate America who've destroyed the middle class on whose backs this country was built."
He uses some domestic terrorism as a way to make sure his trucking company is transporting money and, more importantly, the new blueprint for the 100-dollar bill, which he tries to swap out with a fake, thus ensuring millions of counterfeit bills are minted. But Reddington stops him (taking the blueprint for himself, of course).
Keen and Red
Elizabeth's father Sam has weeks to live, since his cancer has returned and spread to his liver.
