Ilya is more spy than assassin.įinally, it struck me very odd that when Dom called out for Lena and the doctor asked who that was, Katarina responded with 'She's his wife', not 'She's my mother.' If I'm right about this, it re-affirms that she and Red may in fact, be half-siblings, with her possibly never knowing that she had a brother. My wife thinks that Ilya is N-13 and while it's quite possible, I don't think he fits the description of a cold-blooded killer of that ilk. Reddington insists on being prepared for all. Red would never kill her, no matter how many times she fucks up and disappoints him. Wouldnt Dembe have been able to access at least one of his accounts Last season Mr. Is Red really N-13? I think not, as for one, it's just too damn convenient, and Dom specifically said to Keen that saying that name too many times would get her killed - by N-13 himself, no less. Certainly, the two had a father/son type of relationship. Spoilers Post Episode Discussion S3E4 The Djinn 77 comments. The gentle kiss on the forehead certainly struck me as a son saying goodbye to his father. Reddit discussion threads for The Blacklist.

Let's just say that Season 8 officially gets underway in January.Īfter witnessing Red's reaction to Dom's death, I am now firmly in the belief that Dom was his father. My understanding is that because last season was cut short because of the pandemic, Season 8 will begin with the unseen/unused ideas from last year - as the half live-action, half animated ep we got as a finale was never intended to be the Season 7 finale. It also seemed to me (and the rather long break until January) that these first two shows were really in fact, what had been intended for the end of Season 7. And that sets the stage for the beginning of Season 8, set to debut on NBC on Friday, November 13 at 8:00 P.M. I really think there's more to it than what played out on the screen. It's out there, I know, but we've seen a number of far-fetched things on this show. The Blacklist signed off sooner than initially planned, with Season 7 coming to an early end via an impromptu finale that shocked viewers as much as it entertained them.As promised, Episode 19. Red seemed almost hesitant to kill Katarina, despite all the trouble she's caused him (not to mention being essentially responsible for Dom's passing), and I can't help but wonder if this wasn't some elaborate ruse to once again, make it seem as though Rostova was dead, but that this is some way to once again make her safe. Which brings me to my first speculation, that being that what we say (and by extension, Liz) may not be exactly as it appeared.

Clearly, Liz's main agenda now will be to take down Red in any way possible, as she believes that he just killed her mother right in front of her. I hate to use the old cliche, but I think last night's episode was something of a game-changer, in more ways than one.
