Did… Did Red just lie to Lizzie?
The things is, I watch this show, and I hear Red lie to Lizzie all the time…
In Reds head, where all the dangerous secrets are stored, Red does not lie to Lizzie.

Of course, theres always the possibility that he was talking about a different, non-Katarina Rostova.
But theres also the chance that Reds ledger or rules and regulations are changing.
It seems very possible that Red isnt so much lying to Lizzie as he is simply uninformed.
And wouldnt that be an interesting new twist: Raymond Reddington not knowing something.
And hes not the only one with a one impenetrable system of secrets being torn apart from the inside…
THE CARETAKER, NO.
Red said it best last week: Hes not Lizs Tom problem Tomis Lizs Tom problem.
Its a pretty solid safety precaution if youre the key in of person who dabbles in espionage.
NEXT: Exactlywhichthings are unforgivable?
and shes marrying Tom (less than thrilled).
Exactlywhichthings are still TBD.
And very early in the episode, the tube intel leads right to the Blacklister.
Thats where hes quite literally buries his secrets, of course.
Bad move, buddy!
But who needs the German government when you have Raymond Reddington?
Now, disarming a bomb might even trump Red, but not Amar.
Ressler texts him a pic, and Amar immediately starts giving instruction on which wires to snip.
Oh hell no, not on Arams watch.
He demands that Ressler apologize to Agent Navabi before he gives the last instruction.
Its very silly its also great because Ressler has become a real asshole lately.
She admits to the FBI that she kidnapped herself when she discovered herself on a missing persons list.
He got in a fight with the man and then simply walked away with her.
Yeah, Lizzie has some secrets of her own now.
He tells her once again that Katarina Rostova was just a name.
Its the hope of a little girl the hope of someone who has been repeatedly lied to and misled.
I dont blame Lizzie for latching onto it.
But he adds, Now Im not sure I ever want her to know.
He takes a wax-sealed red letter out of the canister and burns it.
