I definitely think Liz has her own agenda.   Probably thinks it's the only way she will get answers. 

I wish they had just finished the season doing this. Or at least one more episode to give us a proper finale.

Honey West - I can see Dom getting smothered with a pillow too.

Tuxie, that's a good point. 

If lara1 was still on here she we would have loved the 3 way shot of KR! 

I was wondering, do you believe KR didn't know why they are after her all these years?  I think she knew about the file.  Why else would she have been asking Red to give her what she needs in the beginning of the season? 

I cant help but wonder what else she really wants? 
She called that guy and said they might have a problem. 

If Townsend thinks she's dead and has paid the bounty, why is she still worried about it?  Get a new name, hair color and move on. 

Liz also led her to where Dom is, so the pillow scene might be coming.  KR isn't going to let that place go.  She knows Red got medical help there, and she might figure Dom is there. 

Now that I've rewatched,  I'm rethinking the end.  Liz said at the end of season 5 that she was going to destroy Red.  When they came back in 6, she lost that attitude.

HW: (re: online meetings -- a piano in the background sure beats the stack of dirty dishes I saw this morning! I think I would've sat on the other side of the kitchen table so something else was in the background.)

Tuxie and Eastcoast -- what if part of Fakerina's mission is to locate the real KR's body or find out that really happened to her? That would help explain to me why she didn't call off the meeting (and expose her whereabouts to Red).

The more I think about the episode, the more I think I'll rewatch it and the first one of the season with that in mind.

There might have been some changes of mind on the part of the show runners about whose side Liz would be on as the end neared. Since they were renewed for Season 8, I'll bet that has an impact on how they will need to revise the story arc.

"I'm also wondering about what Dembe said. I went and looked at it again.  When the guy asked him if Townsend knew, he said no.  How Does he know?  Does he know him?"

Ooooh, EastCoast, that is an excellent question.  I'll be pondering the angles on that for a while, grateful for a break from Liz-angst. C

Cate, good to see you on here again! 

The whole thing doesn't make sense.  I'm sure Red knows Townsend if Ilya knows him.  I'm wondering why he paid the money without a body?  Red was the one who saw it with Dembe.  Is it possible Red told Townsend?

Thanks to Aly for retweeting the link to this little video at emmys.com.

So I finally re-watched the episode last night. I figured, well it's Friday night, I'm not going anywhere why not? 

I guess I watched the animation so much the first time that I missed a lot of little things in the story. LOL! In the "previously on the Blacklist" part at the beginning Dom definitely says he knows who Red really is. So unless he was lying, then he is one of the people who knows/knew who Red really is. I have a feeling that before he regains consciousness he's going to have a close encounter with a pillow much like Sam did.

Somehow I totally missed Katarina telling Liz why she was saving Red. Because he is important to you - and he was important to me once. Hmmmm.

The Kazanjian Bros. were "taken for a little ride". I guess we won't be seeing them again.

You guys brought up a good point about Townsend and paying the bounty. What if Red is Townsend? Or Townsend "works" for him? Maybe T doesn't even know it.

People want this Sikorsky Archive. It sounds like a Fulcrum of some sort. A blackmail file. They think Katarina stole it. She said that Red knows she didn't and that he probably knows who did steal it, but he won't come forward and clear her or tell her where it is, if he knows. I wonder if Red stole it?

Anyway, just some extra random thoughts after the rewatch. I still don't know how I missed some of the stuff when it first aired. Preoccupied, I guess.

Hope everyone is well and staying safe and healthy. We are seeing our 2 1/2 months of lockdown go for naught as cases are skyrocketing out here. Luckily I don't work and don't need to go out except for groceries and to check on the old folks in the family. I had been planning a lot of travels this summer. Hopefully next summer will be better. My sweet old kitty has been doing pretty well once we got her over a major crash in May. Her official birthday is next Wednesday and she will officially be 20 years old. I've never had a cat this old before, and her age presents unique challenges in caring for her. So maybe it's okay that I can't travel right now. I guess things happen for a reason after all.

Stay well, and I will probably post a new thread when the DVDs come out in August.
