Iowa Watcher - None of us knows how that address adds up to Red's new immunity agreement. I guess we will find out next week.

Tuxie, I kept thinking, enough already! It was a huge overkill.

Didn't like the bugs stuff either!
Loved the courtroom scene - and am now anxiously awaiting Ken Leung's attractive 2nd to utter something interesting.
By now we know our show-runners can be rather erratic - but beyond erratic they are extremely miserly with clues and specific reveals.

BBB - I thought Leung's assistant might say something during jury selection, but apparently she's just there to carry his briefcase and refill his water.

Or maybe she has other duties....

I am not to fond of his character. I am wondering how Red is going to handle him when he gets free?

I skipped over the comments, but I had to say
GNOMES!
Three of them on the steps going up to Kendall's house. Ressler walked right past them.

Yes! I saw that HW and was cracking up! I was waiting for him to kick one.

Michael Falkirk in London, England was the name on the address that Dembe took from the binder.it was a shipment address. Red keeps referring to this person as he, so it’s a man.
Whoever this person is, he is Red's ace in the hole. I am guessing it’s someone who can influence the outcome from behind the scenes. Falkirk. I wonder if it would be too far fetched for that to be an alias for Alexander Kirk?
I wonder if Liz is going to go to work on Dembe to get her answers? A new approach. She seems to be confiding in someone in the previews. I wonder if Ressler? Unless she’s recapping things to Jennifer, or Toms ghost again.

And Ressler didn't even kick one of them!

Not far fetched at all!

I think the gnomes are some sort of inside joke for the writers/producers.

Iowa Watcher - You are right about the gnomes being an inside joke. Kurt Kuenne directed The Lindquist Concern, which was the episode where Ressler kicked the gnome at Cooper's house. He has directed four more episodes since then, and he's put gnomes in all of those too. Before this episode he tweeted that fans should look for the gnomes.

Eastcoast - You asked about the sound in the background at the beginning of the episode. It's Mongolian throat singing. In this singing technique, the singer uses the vocal resonances inside the vocal tract to produce more than one pitch at the same time. I would be happy to never hear it again.

I thought it was interesting that Cooper made it clear the task force in taking a case from Reddington is now operating illegally and could be charged with aiding and abetting.
Cooper: Our immunity deal with Reddington has been invalidated. He stands accused of treason.
Samar: is this your periodic reminder that we may be viewed s aiding and abetting?
Cooper: Especially if we pursue cases in which his agenda is, to be polite, obscure. (I would think pursuing any Reddington case at all would now be outside the scope of the law.)
Aram: We're all in, if that's what you're asking.
I always thought the task force would end up on The Blacklist. I just didn't know how. In this episode, they have become the criminals.
I'm surprised Ressler goes along with this as much as he's complained this season about Reddington.

Wonder why they brought in Glennington?: Just for comic relief?
He really accomplished nothing other that irritating Ken Leung & the judge (tall drink of water lady)

Everybody loves Glen, and after seven weeks with virtually no answers on the imposter, fans need comic relief.

Glen not only went off - he went off with a vengeance. Makng up for lost time, I suspect?
I hope it wasn't just a 1-off to postpone essential reveals!

Speaking of our Jellybean, that was strange when he was taunting Dembe about leaving Red in jail and taking his money.
Offline
What I'm wondering is if Jellybean managed to get anyone else on the jury who would be sympathetic to Red.
I didn't think Jellybean was serious when he was talking about taking Red's money. You know how he's always joking.
Surely Glen would have known a convicted felon couldn't serve on a jury. He's not stupid. I thought that was pretty weird. But I always enjoy Glen!
