The Man in the Hat

I would have given this a 9, maybe 10. But Siya and her stuff is boring and not worth the time nor effort. Who cares about anything to do with her. Didn't really click with her, especially not when she decided to join the team. I don't care about any stupid, pointless storyline associated with her.

Reddington is the best as always, as is Dembe. Growing to not find the others of the team quite as annoying as they were at times during the early parts of the season (so glad Elizabeth went).

Great episode making you question what you may or may not have seen. Interesting the way things worked out. Generally great episode if it wasn't for the Siya stuff.

First of all, I agree with the reviewers that point out how boring Malek is. The fact that she was adopted is of no concern for this series. What does it have to do with the significant events of this case. What is good is a robbery of a convenience store and the fact that Raymond just happened to be there. He is still the most wanted man in America so he can't be picked up, even for an interview. Pennabacker is always so worried about her superiors and rightfully so. The task force is once again facing its possible destruction. So what makes this work is the fine orchestration of the people in the store. It is a very satisfying episode with all the bases covered.
