I want to say that The Blacklist finally confirmed Red is Liz’s father, yet Dembe’s comments about Red not “denying it” make me hesitant about the whole reveal.  It’s like we were given the answer we’ve been dying to just have so we could move on, something that seemed obvious, but a truth which was nice to finally lay to rest. And yet the show has played with perception and altered the truth from time to time, so having those seeds of doubt wouldn’t be too off base.  Either way, it will be interesting seeing Liz and Red’s relationship change and probably grow on The Blacklist Season 5 now that their familial connection is out in the open.  That is until it all comes crashing down with the reveal of whatever secrets that suitcase and the skeleton hold.

So there really was only one ending for Mr. Kaplan, and that was her death. It just so happened to set off a chain of events. Though, it is sad to see Mr. Kaplan go, as she, too, was a bad ass and a formidable foe for Red. Having that personal connection made their fight so much more intense and emotional.She will certainly be missed, but her actions have definitely gotten things moving that will affect the story and characters going forward.Red is going to be in some big trouble when that suitcase does find its way to Liz.
