The Breakdown
Agent Cooper is talking to a figurehead at the FBI about Red’s deal that includes immunity. The FBI is not going to give Red immunity no matter what kind of information he has. Red and Lizzy take a lie detector test to find out if they know each other or if Red has a connection to Lizzy or her husband Tom.
Red gives the FBI a hint as to where the next “incident” will happen. It is near an industrial district in D.C. The FBI is on the scene and nothing is happening. About to wrap up the investigation a train derails.
Red is giving more information about “The freelancer” and what he may be planning next, but he needs to know if his immunity deal will go through. It seems that Agent Cooper has gotten the higher up to go along with Red’s deal on the surface, but they don’t plan to give him immunity, only to use Red for information.
The Freelancer is being investigated and gives up that Redington is the one who hired him, but he is a diversion. Reddington is in the room with Florina Campo and it is noticed that the two know each other. Apparently Campo wanted to cut Red in on her business. Agent Keen comes into to save Campo as she thinks Red is the one sent to kill her. As it seems Red is the one who want to expose Campo, as he had her drugged her and has the antidote. Red will not give Keen the antidote unless Campo admits to Keen that she is in charge of the Everheart Cartel, had her husband killed and is behind women sex trafficking.
The Analysis
It seems that the path of the show is to set Red up as the person that is at first the individual that is starting the crimes. Later, when we see his plan unfold, he is suddenly the hero. There is definitely a connect between Red and Lizzie has even the writers lead us on countlessly throughout the show, even having Red make the joke that she could “be his daughter” as the cover in the restaurant in Montreal. The other underling story of this show is who is Tom and has Lizzie life be carefully crafted by someone the FBI or Reddington?
