But when Liz returns to Tom’s boat later, and he patches up her wounds, Liz admits that she doesn’t want to regret anything - and her biggest regret would be saying no to a future with Tom (who I really should be calling “Jacob” at this point, but it just sounds wrong). True, watching a virologist die in your arms might not be the most romantic ambiance in the world. After they drive off, Liz holds Andropov as he dies, crying over all the information from her past that will die with the doctor. But when the men realize that Andropov has been followed, they waste no time in drawing their guns and putting a few bullets in Andropov’s chest. Before long, Liz and Tom have spotted Andropov and chased him down to an alley - an “extraction point” where he’s meeting a few important-looking men in suits. ( The Blacklist sure does love its symmetry, eh?) She tells Tom about Andropov, not only that he infected her with the virus, but that he may have the answers about Liz’s mother that she so desperately craves. (Scroll down now, if you must!)Īfter Tom tries to get in touch with Liz, to no avail, Liz takes it upon herself to visit her ex - on his boat, no less. There’s not enough time for Red to actually elaborate on what this all means, but it’s revisited later in the episode. While Red is chatting with Liz about how she can get out of her current legal pickle, Red tells her that he absorbs others’ sins, blackening his own soul in the process. Nope, you’re not watching an episode of Sleepy Hollow, promise. Not only did Andropov create the deadly virus, but he infected Liz with it when he knocked her down at the train station.
Cooper helps Liz get her hands on the surveillance tapes at Union Station, where she recognizes virologist Leo Andropov mugging for the camera. Try as she might, Liz can’t quite get the rest of the FBI to believe she’s being framed - especially not after her blood tests positive for the virus that killed Senator Hawkins.
While she was on the run, here are the seven biggest moments that went down:
But how did the hour end for Liz, and all the others entangled in her accidental web? First, Agent Keen was taken in for questioning by Tom Connolly and his creepy henchmen, but Red - who had someone on the inside, naturally - worked with Cooper to get Liz out.
