And that makes perfect sense.
But we’ve seen Red do that before to deal with a problem.
We’ve never seen Red have to deal with life without Lizzie.

And we’ve certainly never seen an episode ofThe Blacklistlike this.
It’s not hard to kill off a character on a TV show.
The decision may be hard; it may be hard to watch; but the actual act?
As easy as a heart monitor going flat or a guillotine being released.
At least, that’s what I hope.
CAPE MAY
I will admit that I’m a little nervous to recap for two reasons: 1.
I’m, uh,prettyconfused, and 2.
Now, that is a throw in of mourning I can understand.
Post-bacon is where things get interesting…
NEXT: Lady in the water…
But the guy disappears, and so Red leaves to continue his very sad and lonely day.
Perhaps like the way Red told Lizzie that her mother killed herself?
She whispers to herself, “It’s not that he died.
It’s not even the way he died.
It’s the things I said to him just before he died.”
As they creep around the house she tells Red that someone is after her.
At dinner, he asks her to elaborate on the man she spoke of after nearly drowning.
She responds, “I was out of my mindthere was no one.
So Red speaks of his own regrets instead.
I could either save one or lose bothI chose the child.
It was the worst thing I’ve ever had to do in my life.”
Considering recent events, it’s easy to wonder justwhichHobson’s choice he might be talking about.
But he elaborates: “I was arrogant.
But no matter what I tried to do, all I brought her was misery and violence.”
So, Lizzie then.
Indeed a slew of men with assault rifles are on their way to the inn.
Red has already told her that he’s never killed anyone who didn’t deserve to be killed.
So she asks him is he’s every spared anyone who deserved to die.
He tells her of a woman he loved: “She was my life.
She left behind a little girl, one last precious piece of herself.”
Her mother’s goneher father is what she has left in the world."
NEXT: “This is my house, I have to defend it.”
Don’t get me wrong, I know who this woman isweallknow who this woman is.
But all these mothers and their babies…
I don’t know the truth of where they’ve gone, or how they got there.
So, this is the perfect time for an intermission full of some R-ratedHome Alone-style high jinks.
They’re quite the duo, really.
The woman wants Red to go on without her.
He interrupted her in the middle of her plan out in the ocean, after all.
The closer they were to the bomb, the more horrific the effect.
That’s every suicide… every single one.
An act of terror, perpetrated against everyone who’s ever known you.
Everyone who’s ever loved you.
I never wanted this."
Red tells her they have to go, and he goes to get the car.
The sun is up now.
And when Red comes back into the inn, the water is up off the floor, too.
And the sink, repaired and much less covered in blood.
About that time, the man digs up a locket in the sand.
It was the only way; you chose well."
Red looks at the locket…
“There’s someone I need to see.”
Were we or were wenotled to believe that Lizzie’s mom had blond hair?
Is it worth noting that Lotte Verbeek is credited as “Sasha Rotova” in the episode on IMDb.
No, really,is it??
My brain is officially warped.
And finally: JAMES EFFIN' SPADER.
