Warning: Spoilers
Deception, Lines Crossed; these words are synonymous for the infamous Raymond Reddington. But the Taskforce doing it and that too with Mr. Red, takes it to a whole different level . Reddington assigned the taskforce with a blacklister, Helen Maghi; not to find her but to release her from FBI's investigation so that she can help him find a lead on Agent Keen's murderer/Cooper's blackmailer. Upon digging, the taskforce found that the blacklister was supplying weapons to some terrorist organization and Amar being the new taskforce head (yeah, no one saw that coming) refused to release her. Upon request, Aram did allow Reddington to seek Helen Maghi's assistance but soon after the work was done, Aram dispatched an unit (Reddington had no prior knowledge about Aram planning this to do) to capture Helen; this incident upset Reddington who almost went for not continuing to work with the taskforce anymore; had it been Harold making him understand about the situation.

Reddington on another scene, demanded Panabaker to pull some strings to give Harold a few weeks to proof his innocence. Upon Panabaker's denial, Reddington reminded her about the incident that happened few weeks before and make her remember about her desperate situation; eventually that made her compelled to pull some favors for Harold.

Overall, this was a good follow-up episode. The situation and conspiracy over the current investigation is getting intense and does point to a higher authority/powerful people involve over the incident. Until that comes out, this season is just giving me goosebumps. 10/10 on the episode, and specially to Aram for showing that bold statement.
