But will she be able to clear her name in part 2 of The Director?
It really is a fun episode.
Hes bringing everyone back together in a very scrappy, deconstructed way.
He has a plan, and its a really fun one to see play out.
She is really in the passenger seat.
She really has very little control.
Theres very little she can do from the inside.
Shes our protagonist and its a very strange situation to have her hands quite literally shackled.
Ressler finally believes Liz.
How does that change their dynamic moving forward?
He believes in what hes doing for very good reasons.
It has to do with the death of his father, as we found out.
Ressler is somebody who is struggling with that.
And yet, I think Liz respects what hes done.
Theres a righteousness and a goodness within Ressler that she admires.
Ressler also believes Laurel is to blame for Revens (Adriane Lenox) death.
Will he get he be able to get justice soon, or will she be sticking around?
This is, by no means, an ending.
There is closure to it, but these characters, I think, we might see more of.
The logline says that Red delivers a final ultimatum.
What can you tease?
His plan is one that is rooted in a really twisted view of the American legal system.
As perverse and strange as it might be, its rather sound and strangely so.
It involves both the laws, blackmail and crime.
Its a rather unique ultimatum, and one that I hope wont soon be forgotten.
Will we actually get information on what Red wants from Venezuela?
Mr. Solomon believes hell get out of jail rather quickly.
Is that the case?
Because I really want to see you knock him down a peg.
Edi is so fun.
Yes, he plays it with such arrogance.
Is he going to be knocked down?
Maybe a little bit, but hes not a guy who is going to stay down for very long.
The Director mentions the connection between Liz and Red.
Might she get more information on that in the coming episodes?
Yeah, in the coming episodes, absolutely.
Thats one of the story lines thats been parked in having them on the run.
Katarina Rostova, her mother, that has been outed that shes the daughter of a Russian spy.
The Blacklistairs Thursdays at 9 p.m.
