It also helped that Red has promised Liz that she will eventually get the quiet life she has been looking for.
But instead of moving towards the fulfilment of her plans, the 16th episode of “The Blacklist” saw the couple and Red going back to hunting down criminals.
The episode saw Tom making a risky decision which made Liz rethink her decision of keeping the baby and looking for a quiet family life with him. Apparently, Tom’s decision has something to do with him looking for Gina Zanetakos to get his share of the money from a past jewelry heist. It seems like Tom wants some sort of security and comfort when he and Liz retire to a quiet life.
While Tom gambles on Gina, Red and Liz ran after a criminal, known as the Caretaker, after a State Department official is killed in Beijing, China.
The Caretaker is described as a shadowy keeper who maintains a safety deposit vault for criminals.
The Caretaker is turning out to be similar to Red in his work but he does not collaborate with the authorities and works on his own. He wants the authorities to take care of the criminals so that he can focus on his work all by his lonesome.
