Ohdo you, Tom?
But thats at the end of the episode we havent even gotten to the hotbox yet.
Were living in a post-numbered-Blacklister world, sure, but that doesnt mean everything has to change.

There are still cases to be solved, Blacklisters to be found.
At the top of the list: whoever attacked Liz.
THE ARTAX web connection, NO.
Cue one of those aforementioned brutal voice-cracks: I think we all know different.
She was humble, self-effacing, and very, very special.
The man can wear a spectacle.
I think I speak for all of us when I say: SAY WHAAAAAAT?!
But he probably shouldnt because Red immediately goes to his outdoor workshop and starts rooting through all his stuff.
He apparently has an explanation, though: I was just imagining young Katarina covered in glitter.
You forget the wonder it creates, the light captured…
It renders even the darkest days sparkly.
And without her, hes totally falling apart.
First Katarina, then Masha.)
Attempting to put the pieces back together on the homefront are Cooper, Samar, Ressler, and Aram.
while rushing out of his hotel room with two body guards.
They ask if he has any connection to Elizabeth Keen, to which he responds, The fugitive?
Only what I hear on the news… Whatever happened to her anyway?
which sounds like something a liar in a cartoon might say.
But Ressler and Samar seem totally cool with it and let him head out to his important international travel.
Where is Aram during all of this?
Hes there to plead with Red to come back to the Post Office and help the team.
Actually, hes kind of there todemandit.
I do, and Im truly sorry.
But Im here to collect on your debt.
ARAM FOR THE MIC DROP!
And do you know what Red does?He doesnt go back with him.He says no!
Can you imagine saying no to that speech?
This rubble is well and truly collapsed.
So Aram returns to the Post Office with his head held low.
But it seems that just being momentarily in the presence of Red was enough to get his wheels turning.
Based off some negative aside from Ressler (ugh, so negativeallepisode!)
And would you look at that… Theyre not so inactive after all.
But Aram,reallyfeeling himself at this point, has yet another lead.
He had what looked to be a very memorable discussion with a very memorable woman in the lobby.
Famke Janssen, much noted guest star.
Dom wants to know what Red is really doing there…what he wants from him.
A way forward, Red responds.
I cant live for long with what I feel inside.
I dont see how anyone can.
But Red doesnt have to do that.
And that must do it.
A FEW LOOSE ENDS:
ARAM!!!
Man, Ilovethat guy.
If Toms stunner shades at Lizzies funeral taught me anything, its that every loss has a silver lining.
Which is more than I can say for you.
Just a thought (said with waggling mental eyebrows).
I dont even know what to say; it was perfect just as it was!
A bunch of sad FBI agents smoking weed in a car with Ressler being a total buzzkill just perfect.
What did you think of tonights return to a more normalBlacklistformat?
Did you pick up any little clues from Reds time at Doms house?
Are you expecting to see him again?
And what do you think of Famke Janssens thus far silent character?
Katarina Rostova, or just someone who looks like shecouldbe a beautiful Russian spy.
I can think of one man who will definitely know the difference…
