As I am re-watching this series, I have just seen this episode for the second time. I can wholeheartedly recommend anyone who saw this episode - but did not like and/or get it - to watch it again after it settled in, or perhaps even after you've seen more of the series.
The first time I saw this, I thought it was confusing. It took me a while to understand what was going on, and paid little attention to important details. It was only at the end that I realized what the story told exactly.
Whereas for many episodes it is a bummer to know the clou of the story beforehand (as it takes away the suspense), I think in this case it was actually a boon; it helps you realize that this is a goldmine of information that will ultimately prove pivotal in the deciphering of Reddington's character.
The first time I saw this, I thought it was relatively unremarkable, although I already realized how important it was as the series progressed. This is one of those episodes where that second viewing adds greatly to the experience. So - even if you did not like it: watch it again!
