Finally Liz gets some depth and at the same time it opened up new possibilities as Liz is now on the other side of the wanted poster, I look forward to see where her character goes. This is the kind of season finale I hope to see in other shows, As it was exactly how it should be, As it brought closure to some lingering questions that we've had since season one and at the same time raised some new ones, Like how will Liz get her name cleared, Is it even possible After what she did? I actually think that Megan Boone is more suited to a darker character.

I want to mention J.Spader's outstanding performance, Not just for the season finale, But overall, As he raises the show to a whole new level.

Every now and then a show comes along which exceeds even the expectations of the fans. I have always (see prior reviews) felt that Blacklist was such a series.

However, going into Season 2 the constant teaser re the relationship between Liz and Red was becoming .... annoying? The long arc and the short arc were starting to chafe a bit, one against the other. Like when you wear jeans a size small.

In this excellent closer to Season 2, writer/creator Jon Bokenkamp personally took over the story arc and even went so far as to borrow a page from the "JJ Abrams Handbook of TV Scripting" ... namely, when in doubt, burn the main story arc to the ground and start over. (Which is why Season 3 will offer a completely different dynamic...) The production values are stellar, crediting not merely Bokenkamp and Spader (never less than wonderful) but the whole cast digs deep and keeps the viewer enthralled from top to bottom.

Great TV.

I absolutely love this show. I have been on the edge of my seat since the first episode. It is never a let down. I have gone back and forth about whether or not I thought that "Red" was Liz's father. I came to the conclusion that he was not in season one when she asked him. But others still wondered. After watching season 2, I now have to wonder how "Red" became Liz's "sin eater". I have a feeling it has something to do with her mother being a double agent. I actually think that Reddington is a good guy that is trying to set the world and mostly the US straight. And most of all get rid of the Cabal. I think he, of course, has his own motives behind his escapades. But we will have to see. Bring on Season 3!!! Note: This was required to be at least 10 lines. I only wanted to add that since it took me forever to figure out what was said, at the end of season 2, Liz says, "You are my sin eater."

This episode begins with Liz who is framed by Tom Connolly, he wants to frame Liz for infecting Hawkins. Connolly send Cooper away from the task force. Liz got arrested by Connolly. Liz her fingerprints are on the bomb. Hawkins past away. Liz was tested positive for the virus. Red organized that the lights fall out at the task force, Liz tries to escape, she succeeded. Andropov infected Liz at Union Station in their fight. Tom and Liz found Andropov, Tom is chasing him with his car. Andropov got shot down by two man, he died instantly. Liz and Tom coming closer to each other, they sleep with each other and had sex. Cooper threatens the Levin, he tells Cooper that he isn't sick at all it was all fake. Tom Connolly set Cooper and his task force up, he wants to reveal the entire secret of the task force to the police force. Liz shot Tom Connolly down he died instantly, she escaped. Liz remembers everything about the night of the fire. Liz has a flashback of she shooting her father to death. Cooper got arrested for Connolly his death. Liz is now on the ten most wanted list. Really great Season final of The Blacklist, it was a episode full of tention and exciting moments with the dramatic death of Tom Connolly.

Apart from that, the episode is fantastic. It continued the trend of leaving more questions than answers, all the characters were great. tom Connolly continues to remind me of Dick Jones and the end of his storyline was perfect(except for the reveal about Liz) and it will be interesting to see where Season 3 goes. Better than the previous finale and continues to keep the show as one of the best on TV

So here are the spoilers . . . . . . . Smithers runs into the room, shouts "MAGGIE SHOT MR. BURNS AGAIN!" and everyone looks at the camera and groans. Which is what I did.

THAT is how stupid Liz's big reveal is. It was bad enough that she turned out to be Russian in a twist that made no sense to anyone.

I know the writers' room for The Blacklist didn't contain any biologists, but I do kind of wonder if that played into how ignorant they make every character. Liz is like a Ph. D. I think, and it takes her how long to realize that the plot was to infect her with the virus so in the course of saving the Senator she'd infect him? Like, seriously a 5 year-old would have been yelling at the screen for the first half of this episode, it's that simple a mystery.

Liz actually demands her blood sample's chain of evidence, like she's thinking she isn't the one infected, or that her being infected shows her guilt somehow. She's literally dumb. It's a virus spread by touch and the Cabal can do anything, in a world where you brush pass somebody and can steal their wallet, badge, weapon, literally anybody swipes hands on the street and she's infected. And she's too dumb to comprehend it... and they try to make a big deal of the Union Station event! And he uses some dry ice inhaler thing to shove up her nose and give her the virus. She just killed somebody by touching them!

And then when they confront Connolly, he's all like "I am the Senate!" and says no government organization will look into their evidence, nor will any judge consider it, but of course it could just be on NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox that night. What would they do then? And of course any of them could have recorded Connolly or the CIA Director for that matter because they discuss their crimes constantly.

It was all quite funny, typical for this show, just especially silly because they had so much "plot" to get through. Also Ressler is like, "I'll hunt you down," but he's just an agent, he wouldn't get to decide to what cases he gets to do, or the right to repurpose the task force, and they never show he gets permission for that, he just decides. Which also made me laugh.
