Oh, my gosh! I'm still processing all that. Well done! That was the episode we needed to tie some things together.

Eastcoast, no cake for me tonight: huge stuffed baked potato with bacon and sour cream! I needed the fat.

Very nice episode. Now I think most of you know how hard it would have been to de-humanize Liz with Megan Boone on-screen. She's just a naturally born face - hard to portray her as evil with her acting - so by taking her off the show for a few weeks they managed to de-humanize her. Tonite - she was totally re-humanized by letting Reddington live while he was tending to Anne.

On a totally separate note - I loved the reference to one of my favorite books of all-time. The Phantom Toll-Booth by Norton Juster. Juster just died a couple weeks back, he was 89/90. Phantom TollBooth was published in 1961. 

Its a children's book for children 10 to 100. . . . pick it up, give it a try and pass it on to a child or grand-child, 9 to 14 with an active imagination. Its just a beautiful book, especially if you like word play!

I knew when I saw it was written by the Johns  that we would  get some good stuff. I’ll bet they were happy to write something for Kate.

Kate reminded me of one of those cartoon devils that sit on people’s shoulders telling them to do bad things. Of course she was representing Liz's dark side. And Liz hasn’t crossed the Rubicon yet, which is why she was still having that conversation. The whole time, since Red shot Katarina, Liz has not been able to kill Red face to face. She tried the Wile E. Coyote route with bombs, and then decided to use Townsend to do it. And when she finally had him, it looks like she still couldn’t do it.

I agree, we needed to have things tied together. I found that last bit interesting, when Liz asked Red if he could see Kate and he said he knew she was there.

I need to watch again, but were they saying Liz got her scar at 14 again?

I don't think they're saying Liz got her scar at 14.  They're just saying she tells people that.  She told Kaplan she does it to hide the truth.  Kaplan told her, "[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.95)]"it isn't only part of your past, it's the key to your future."  So does that mean the scar does hide something, as many of us have suggested in the past.  Are there treasures hidden in scars just like Tommy the Courier had back in Season 1?[/color]
