Pleasantly surprised TBL picked up Mike Starr (as Bino Baker) but this episode was really about Liz Keen's final transformation. Megan Boone performed like she's never performed before - showing chops only a trained Broadway thespian might have. She was truly amazing - and I'm not the biggest Megan Boone fan to be transparent.
All the side characters were very good. Townsend's tall, bearded assistant has become a fixture of The Blacklist.

After all these years of Incompetent, petulant Liz... they're trying to turn her into Dirty Harriet!

Killer Queen
Elizabeth Keen

The magic of Elizabeth is she's doing all her slaughtering while she's either - a victim, held captive, under massive duress, fleeing the scene of her last crime, partnering with mega-villains or lying to Ressler, Red, Harold & Aram.
 

Another good Reiter-penned episode. Lots of action, Red shooting lots of bad guys, great job by Megan Boone expressing eight years of frustration over all of it. And telling Ressler that she loves him. Of course he was unconscious, but we heard it!

So, will Red actually tell her? Or maybe it will be more like what will he tell her.

Also, it looks like next week's "Godwin Page" is a continuation of this week's story. Then they are off for a week and then the flashback episode and then the finale. I'm pretty sure I read that the last two will be on Wednesdays of those weeks.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll check the schedule and mark that on my calendar so that I don't forget.
 

Wonder how LIz, Dembe & Red escape the clutches of Townsend, VanDyke & Co next episode. WIll it be the 1-woman killing machine, Agent Alina Park coming in for the save? Red's Regiment of Extras? Harold & The Red Aces? Or more likely Townsend, who absolutely loves smartphones takes a call in the midst of apprehending the TBL 3 from Godwin Page who provides a reason for Townsend's forces to withdraw (for now)?

I thought it was a solid episode with nonstop action, and I liked the cliffhanger ending. The Liz and Ressler romance doesn't bother me at all. I'm not expecting any answers, despite the promo for next week.

As for Boone's acting, I too thought it was exemplary.  But I have always been a Liz fan.

RedIsMyCopilot - Who is Walter?

 

Walter was one of Bino's henchmen - who was charged with driving the hearse. He had 2 excellent scenes - one with Liz and later and even better scene when he tried standing up to Red + Dembe. 

The actor playing Walter was Michael Stoyanov, who played one of Blossom's brothers in the self-titled TV comedy "Blossom". Blossom was played by a fairly young Mayim Bialik who later reached peak TV fame as Sheldon Cooper's love interest and full-time tormentor Amy Farrah Fowler on 'The Big Bang Theory'.
