Solid episode of The Blacklist Season 2, a great story was telled this episode about a confused son and his mother. Action, drama and blood were all there. I like how Dembe's past is brought to this series it's a special role.

I am watching The Blacklist series again, which I never finished the first time. I enjoy the series immensely.

I am not alone in the question of how Dembe became Reddington's bodyguard/trusted lieutenant/confidante. He is a "silent" character, faithful to Reddington, and treated well. There are many forums dedicated to him, which I have no time/interest to peruse, but the interest into his character remains.

The episode explains briefly how Red saved him, and that the characters of Dembe and Red are different, Dembe being the better man. The writer(s), IMO, are spot-on. Both character types must co-exist in life.
