    The Defining Moment

    The end of a unique relationship. Dembe most emotional & complicated decision to open that box. Much respect for seeking spiritual guidance, praying prior to. I sorta felt his pain. It was intense for me to see when Red 1st presented the offer regarding that box. I actually felt it would never come that decision. I definitely understand Dembe position now that he's an FBI agent. It would have been interesting to see exactly how that process took place, for Dembe to transition into that role. I do recall a lot of the situations Red was in that stressed Dembe out. Lol! (😏Will miss the Red & Dembe Team.)

    Suprisingly good episode?

    Definitely one of the strong points of this season... The cinematography at the end was on point. But everything that happened in this episode, definitely what makes me keep watching the Blacklist.

    Loving This Season

    This has been the best The blacklist has been in many a years. Red Reddington is back to being delightful yet imposing. I love the arcs and turns and character depth that they are coming up with now. So refreshing to get Liz out of the picture and Red back to the forefront. Can't wait and hope there's many seasons more to come...

    This is the Blacklist

    I love it, I don't understand why people dislike this season (except Liz is gone and we don't know why Dembe and Red are appart) but I think this is a good one.

    The Cuban Brain Burner

    Some baddies and the Federal Government are working on a device that we heard about from ambassadors in Cuba. It supposedly messes up brain functions with some high frequency transmissions. It later showed up in other embassies, so it is probably real and a potential threat. Here, the inventor has put a high powered device in actions and kills all his fellow scientists. That said, there are other issues as well. Harold lost some time one evening and the guy who was having an affair with his wife previously, ends up dead. He is being investigated. Park believes she has cancer because of a screwed up effort to help Donald with a drug test. And, very significant, is Dembe's effort to have a life of his own. Good episode.
