That’s interesting. James T. Alfred studied at the Moscow art Theater School in Russia and holds an MFA from the school. Do you think the Russian connection might be something for his TBL role? Hmmm, the plot thickens.

I hope we get some mythology, Honey West. It's been a while.

As loathe as I am to admit it, I sincerely believe for the storyline and audience interest, they should make this season their last and maybe a half season next year. Too many of the fans are feeling distrustful of TPBL.

Some people have shared on tumblr an INstastory from Fiona Dourif from the filming at the cemetery on 5.20 (the same story scene that Mozhan shared on instagram). They wonder if she might be the woman Garvey kisses on the forehead in 5.18 and if she could be Jennifer. There was also another picture of her and her hair in it resembled that of the woman in the preview for 5.18. I can't wait to find out tomorrow. 5.18 is looking like a really good episode. The Blacklist social media sites keep talking about the #BlacklistSecret...does that mean they are going to reveal a/THE secret in 18? Or just preparing for the last few episodes of the season?

The synopsis for the episode has been released: "The mysterious appearance of an unidentified young girl sends Liz (Megan Boone) and the Task Force on a hunt to discover her connection to the secret Red (James Spader) is hiding. However, when her family steps in to protect their own secrets, the investigation turns into a race to save the little girl’s life."

Sounds really interesting...

Another child in danger story. Hmm...

I wonder if the little girl from Broadway who was cast on the show will be this girl? I don't know if they ever said what episode she would be on. But it sounds like it is safe to say she isn't Jennifer from the past if this is the episode where she appears. Perhaps Jennifer's daughter? Abducted by her father or something...

Gross afterthought: what if Garvey were the little girl's father? Oh honey...let's hope not. I hope Garvey is six-feet under by the time this episode airs.

There is one of Red in the graveyard too. There is a large tombstone behind that says Child on it. I think they are messing with us. lol

I meant to add that Bob Gunton is the Blacklister! The warden from Shawshank.

That "CHILD" gravestone was a huge red thumb, wasn't it? lol
From what Ive heard and seen, this is going to be an episode filled with the ickies and weirdos.

Eastcoast · 4/18/2018 10:29 pm

Tatiana, huge red thumb, your on a roll lately! Lol
I am not looking forward to the ickies and weirdos!
I guess I will be turning my head a lot for that one too.

Thanks for the heads up on the photos, Eastcoast! It's strange there are no photos of Samar. It makes me wonder if she's the one who is getting killed off. Red standing next to the Child tombstone is interesting. So many cemetery scenes this season!

lara1 · 4/19/2018 8:48 am

I believe that 5.20 is when Red meets with Lillian/Jennifer and tells her why he left.
Interesting that there are horizontal lines, like the shutters, like the blinds, running behind Lillian in the photos. Also the grey of the shingles etc. reminds me of a cabin. yeah its not a cabin but suggestive of one - maybe.

Is the Samar two parter supposed to be 19/20 or 20/21 - anyone read about that?

lara1 · 4/19/2018 8:50 am

with all of the cemetery images I wonder if the bones represent someone who was buried elsewhere - in other words, there is another corpse buried under a tombstone for person X, whereas person X is in the duffel bag. Just a thought. I'm just thinking also of Red asking for those animal skeletons to make the fire at Critter Cabin look "real" as he was not going to make the Critter Cabin animals victims of his scheme. Only a partial parallel but there is a connection between "fake skeletons" and fire maybe

I know, tombs everywhere this season. They always make me think of Bones. So I guess it is an appropriate background so to speak.
I looked on IMDB and other places and they are keeping it tight about the finale.

lara1, post 55,
I am thinking after hearing what Lillian says about Garvey being a nice man and comparing that to what Liz told the Dr. that Red was good to her. I do not think after Red hears that Lillian has an attachment to him that he will want to kill him. He knows that would put him in a worse light with her. It will be interesting to hear what he tells her and what Garvey and Naomi have told her.
I think Red left because being around them put them in danger.

I am also hoping they speak of Naomi and tell us her new name she now has.

lara1, post 56,
I thought of that, but I was thinking they wouldn't be in Codis as a person someone is looking for if they were already considered dead and burried.

Tatiana and lara1 - The latest spoilers are looking like a combination of your theories. Is it time travel or just people living like they're in a time warp? In the latest Sneak Peak on Screen Spy, Red is seen hiding a newspaper article about the mysterious unidentified girl who is connected to Red's secret. Here's a still of that newspaper article on Nancyjo's tumblr:
https://nancyjocom.tumblr.com/post/173463500659

The girl has some strange mark or tattoo on her head.
Here's the visible text of the newspaper article:

A Girl from Another Time

A girl emerged yesterday from White Mountain National Forest - and from another time. Sources say the young woman was found wandering the side of the road wearing 50s era clothing and extremely agitated. She was brought to a local hospital by a Good Samaritan and assigned a social worker. As police worked to discover her idenity, ...
