The repercussion of Liz's (Megan Boone) decision to fake her death will be seen immediately when "The Blacklist" returns for season 4.
Series creator Jon Bokenkamp revealed when a fan asked him about it on Twitter that the events of the fourth season will pick up exactly where season 3 left off, saying the plot will start literally moments after it was revealed that Liz chose to fake her own death to break free from her ties with Red (James Spader).
@mollymorey @BlacklistRoom @NBCBlacklist @MeganBoone yes. We pick up literally moments later. And it's CRAZY.

But when Red arrived in Cuba, he discovered that Liz had been abducted by Alexander Kirk (Ulrich Thomsen), who claimed that he is her real father.
This means that the viewers will finally learn more about Kirk's real intentions with Liz. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, executive producer John Eisendrath said that more details about Kirk and Liz's relationship will be unveiled in season 4.
"It's definitely an, 'Oh my God, who really is this person, what's his agenda and what is going to happen to Liz?' We're left with Red and everyone aware of the fact that Liz is alive, and she's also been abducted," Eisendrath said.
Could this mean that Liz and Red must reunite to uncover Kirk's real agenda in the upcoming episodes of "The Blacklist" season 4?
Also, fans could also expect to learn more about the ties that Liz has with Red, and why he cannot simply allow her to be by herself even if she wanted to get rid of him. Is he keeping more secrets from the FBI consultant?
"The Blacklist" season 4 is slated to premiere on Thursday, Sept. 22, on NBC.
