In the fall finale of The Blacklist season 3, agent Donald Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) finally caught Elizabeth "Liz" Keen (Megan Boone) after she ran from the FBI, Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) got kidnapped by a group of robbers, and Liz gave up the only thing that could exonerate her in order to save Red's life.
Jon Bokenkamp, the show's executive producer, hinted what the back half of season 3 might have in store for viewers.
"We've had a lot of fun dealing with Liz being on the run, and her being drawn into being more like Red and having to act as a criminal, in some ways, as she is now. There is a natural conclusion to that, which is the win for the FBI of capturing her, but now comes the question of what does that mean? How does The Cabal handle this? They certainly don't want her to talk," Bokenkamp told Entertainment Weekly.
It certainly would be exciting to see what they've got up their sleeves for the rest of season 3 of the American crime drama.
In other news, Boone recently confirmed that she's expecting her first child, which means Liz will noticeably get a bigger tummy soon. It has yet to be decided if the writers will end up writing a pregnancy storyline for the character or if skillful editing will just be used to cover it up.
"We are still trying to figure it out," Bokenkamp said. "It plays in a number of different ways, both story wise and physically, for Megan in trying to figure out what that would mean to the show."
If the writers eventually decide to write Boone's pregnancy into the story, then it will surely be interesting to watch how everything will play out.
"The Blacklist" season 3 episode 9 titled "The Director" will return on Jan. 7 on NBC.
