It seems that Ressler's troubles are finally catching up to him in this episode. When a gas attack killed many people at a gathering, Red seems that The Informant is the one that's behind it and gets the FBI team, without Liz, to search for him. Ressler and Samar catches with a suspect that when they catch him, Ressler gets the call from the real Informant and tells him to let the guy go or word of what he did to the National Security Adviser will be revealed. Of course, Ressler plays to him but stops when Red calls him and wants to talk to him about it. Red had known for a while that Ressler was apart of the informant, hell he didn't think it would last this long. Ressler and Red work together and meet with the judge that happen to get the informant out of trouble and blame someone else. There she tells Red and Ressler and agreed to talk but quickly jumps off out the building, killing herself. Ressler meets with The Informant in public along with his family and tries to arrest him, but quickly chases him til Red gives the guy a door to the chest. Ressler arrested The Informant and decides to take the consequences of what he did to the NSA, but apparently the Informant died in a car crash fire on the way to prison, thanks to Red. Ressler and Red chat for a while about what went down and Ressler steals a bottle of whisky, I would believe for what he just went through. In the meantime, Liz has been a real busybody when it comes to search for the man that was in the room when her and Tom were almost killed. She gets to one guy, who happens to be holding money and gets him to take her to his boss. Now the guy that she meets is the one who happen to be dancing and mashing stuff during that fall finale episode (just to remind you all). As Liz talks to the guy and demands answers to her questions, the guy attacks her again. But this time, she kills him as he falls into a glass metal coffee table.

In the winter premiere of The Blacklist, Liz seeks to peace but comes face to face with a challenge. After the events in the fall finale, we find Liz living in the cabin in the woods with a dog, trying to seek peace and quiet. But when her dog, Kate, spots someone hurt outside of her cabin she brings him in and helps him. But when a storm is coming and trying to seek help, she gets visitors, who says that they're with the injured man, but really not. Liz gets that feeling and tries to keep track of them and help the injured man out. That injured man tells her that he's not with them and soon tries to come up with a way to get help. With the transponder damaged and a ranger dead, she faces the challenge of taking them down. As she takes the injured man out of the cabin, she takes out the men one by one until the leader, who happened to be chewing broken glass in ice throughout the episode, chases her throughout the woods to the ranger station and get soaked in chemicals. But when they come face to face again, Liz let that guy have with a flair gun, burning him to death. She leaves the cabin and the woods like if she wasn't there: no finger prints or a photo ID. Hell, everyone in town only new her by her alias name. Soon, after Liz drops the injured guy at the hospital she splits and sees Red. She thanks him for not having her followed or protected and tell him that she's going to get revenge for Tom's death.  "Ruin" might as down as one of the best episodes of the fifth season, or probably of all next to "Cape May." Megan Boone shines through this episode with a powerful performance that I think that is worthy of an Emmy nomination. You can see the physical emotions of this episode for the character as we see her getting back to physical shape and meeting with Tom's mother to take Agnus away in flashbacks. I hate to say that this was a redemption kind of episode but it really is but I would go as far as part one of her redemption process with getting Tom's killer as the final chapter in that story. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.
