As Liz continues to work with Raymond ‘Red’ Reddington, played by James Spader, in search of the Cabal in order to exonerate herself, they eventually learned that Mr. Solomon and his men wanted them both dead.
Liz initially pretended to be dead in order to allow her to freely hunt the person or persons who might be responsible for putting her name in the blacklist. But it seems that everyone in the criminal underworld knows that she is alive, details the Ecumenical News.
But it is not just her and Red who are doing their best to have her name removed from the blacklist but also Liz’s ex-husband Tom, played by Ryan Eggold.
It was a thrill-a-minute ride for the fifth episode titled “Arioch Cain” as Liz continues to run away from the FBI pursuing her and also the assassins who are after the bounty placed on her head, notes the Christian Post.
Still catching their breaths
By this time, fans are still catching their breaths for that suspenseful and really exciting episode five of “The Blacklist” and it seems that the TV series will keep up the tempo in its upcoming sixth episode.
Titled “Sir Crispin Randall,” episode 6 will air on November 5 and will see Liz fending off assassins for another round, according to the show’s synopsis。
Apparently, in addition to Red and Tom who continue to help exonerate Liz from her crime of killing the Attorney General, a concerned friend will appear in the next episode that shall also be facing various troubles to help clear Liz from all the dirty accusations thrown at her.
It remains uncertain if the person who will be trying to help Liz is someone from the underworld of criminals or if he is among the FBI agents trying to get Liz. But one thing is sure is that episode 6 is another action-packed show where Liz may finally be able to strike off her name from the FBI’s blacklist and possibly help her conquer the Cabal.
In his effort to bring justice to the name of his ex-wife, Tom will reportedly end up in a brutal fight club where he will be finding a man whom he believes shall be able to exonerate Liz.
Meanwhile, assassins will continue to hound Red and Liz on episode 6 but it remains unclear if the same people who attacked her on episode 5 will be the ones whom the pair will encounter.
