Case Profile for The Sicilian Error of Color Arthur Hudson is still digging around to find out what the task force is about and it looks like he may have a new ally.  Senator Clayton Dorf likes tenacity and tactics just as much as he loves his Korean Barbecue.  The two agree to team up and our countdown to an Arthur Hudson showdown is on.  Speaking of showdowns, Red seems to be having a showdown of his own with either death or retirement as he offloads some of his most prize possessions this week including one stamp, The Sicilian Error of Color.  
 
This stamp has been sought after by one Kathleen Sutton, the widow of former officer Nigel Sutton, who just so happened to be partnered up with deceased CIA agent Meera Malik and Siya's mother.  Regardless of biological status Siya still wants to learn more about her mother so she teams up with Red on Herbie's advice to dig more into the past, which allows Red to wax poetical this week about his down, as he contemplates his life, those lost, and the mark he wants to leave on his legacy.  

Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: Do you think Red is more Dying or Retiring? Visit our feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278. 
Music For The Sicilian Error of Color We start the show with Mira and Nigel waiting for a prisoner exchange as “Roads” from Portishead plays. “Black Steel” by Tricky plays as Meera steals cash from the CIA storage facility. Later, as Nigel dies and Kathleen shows Red a picture of him, “My Cell” by the Lumineers is heard. Finally “Lucky Man” by the Verve closes the episode as Siya gets the check from Nigel’s widow Kathleen Sutton. 
You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.

Agnes is under the weather this week so Pinky pays her a visit with some movies and ice cream. While meeting with Agnes, Red receives a call from Dembe asking for his help to get Dr. Michael Abani out of custody in Yemen because Dembe needs a favor from an old friend, specifically the mother of Dembe's kid.

Case Profile for Dr. Michael Abani We dig into a little backstory this week on one of our favorite characters, Dembe.  Many moons ago, Dembe was a young up and coming university student who had a love of fine wine and fine women, mostly the women since he did not not drink.  He also had a knack for being a criminal as he helped support his friend Raymond who had rescued him as a younger child. One day as Dembe is delivering a pack to a handoff, he meets the love of his life Aissa. One night Dembe frantically requests Aissa to leave with him and she let's Dembe know that she can't and is going to the states, but Dembe can't leave Raymond either and they part ways.  Years later Dembe returns only to find out that Aissa had a daughter, Isabella. Yep Dembe... you are the father. 
 
Fast forward to today and Aissa is now preparing to web Dr. Michael Abani, but it turns up Abani was smuggling money and weapons to the rebels against the country of Yemen.  He is taken prisoner and Aissa realizes she can only turn to one person to save her fiancé.  Dembe.  Dembe then contants Red to see what he is able to do.  During the events they find out his partner John was the one doing the dirty work, setting up an account in Abani's name.  Red has a chat with the leaders of Yemen, turns over John, frees Abani, and gets a side deal in the process.  Dembe gets one last look at his long lost love as he begins to amend things with Red.   

Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: If you were Dembe, would you choose to go with Red or stay with your partner? Visit our feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278. 
Music For Dr. Michael Abani At the end of the episode as Dembe helps close the suitcase and Pops talks to Agnes we hear “Bless Me” by Moses Sumny.
You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.

A no numbered episode typically means some kind of big mythology reveal or information as the identity of one Raymond Red Reddington, especially one with a title like "The Man in the Hat". This week however it is a case of was he or wasn't he as Red stops at a convience store for some Peanut Chews.

Case Profile for The Man in the Hat As Red's question to live free as a bird continues this season we find our Fedora wearing friend caught in a pickle as he makes a stop at a convienience store for some Goldenbergs Peanut Chews.  He was coming back from Phildelphia to New York after picking up a present for Agnes. Turns out this is one conveinence that became an inconvienience as a armed robber locked down the store and took hostages.  Dembe and Ressler arrive on the scene as they beleive Red was in the store at the time and wanted to get him to safety freely before the local law enforcement caught up to him.  In the end Red found a clever way to escape as always, and sent Agnes her gift as well as a bar of those delightful Peanut Chews.  
 
Elsewhere Panabaker is hot and wants Reddington by the end of the day.  Cooper tasks Siya to make sure all their fiels and ducks are in a row pending an investgation from up the chain of command.  In doing so Siya is granted full acccess to the post office history including details of her mother.  Siya opens up the information and finds out more than she bargained for... she's adopted. Red does eventually confront Panabaker but in a strange move hands her the leverage Red had over her in the hopes that Panabaker would allow the task force to live to fight another day.

Case Profile for The Postman 30 years ago a man named Lawrence Nelson was put on trial for murdering his boss outside their place of business. A young Harold Cooper was on the jury for the case and was the sole member to vote not guilty.  In the end, Cooper finally gave in and Lawrence went to prison for 25 years.  While in prison, Lawrence befriends his cell mate Eugene who turns out to be chemist and a plan is put into motion.  25 years later Lawrence is released and for the last 5 years Lawrence builds up a criminal empire and is known to prisoners around the world as The Postman.  
 
As The Postman, his long term plan was to take out the man responsible for putting him away for a crime turns out he was not guilty of. To do this he delivers packages to prisoners by way of a super high tech drone, and one of those packages is some chemicals needed for a lethal toxin that Eugene is assembling for Lawrence. Once Lawrence has the chemical in hand, he enacts his plan to take out the Maryland Attorney General but Red and Friends intercept his delivery re-routing it to the Post Office.

The Troll Farmer returns to spread disinformation in order to steal a secret computer virus that will hopefully help Wujing find the task force, take down Red, and build his empire.  However red has some duplicative plans of his own!
Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.
Case Profile for The Troll Farmer Parts 2 & 3 Wujing is closing in on the proof he needs to prove Red is working with the FBI. So what does Red do? He hatches a plan so dastardly, so demonic, so dangerous that even I can't come up with more D words.  Instead of stopping Wujing from find proof, just give it to him.  Yep Red literally invites Wu Wu to the front door step of the task force the answers he seeks, or is it?   See red has been building something all year, a fake post office, complete carbon copy down to the last detail. The purpose to draw out Wujing, trap him, and end this war once and for all. 
 
Meanwhile the team is concerned with their Reddington Archives and those are kept safe inside the post office, the real post office, and can only be accessed from onsite.  To gain access one would need a program to hack into the archives and that's where HEXROOT comes in.  A secret malware software buiit by the US Government and now lost to the hands of Bo Chang, The Troll Farmer.   
 
But this biggest twist of the episode isn't that Chang got the device, no.  It is that Change escaped from the fake post office so that the task force would think he would lead WuJing back there.  Instead Chang is working with Red the whole time, Red gives Change the real location, Wujing shows up as expected and Pop Pop go Wu Wu and his henchman thanks to bad ass Red we have all be waiting for.  Reddington then uses Hex Root to wipe the Archives and takes off effectively making him #1 on Cooper's hit list.

Music For The Troll Farmer Parts 2 & 3 Along with a duo of classical pieces in the first hour we hear “Run for Your Life” by Cody Crump which plays immediately after the phone call to Flynn’s wife goes to voicemail, Flynn next checks out the news on the laptop, then rushes over to the hospital.  No songs were featured in the final part of The Troll Farmer.
You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.

The Freelancer is back and has a list of mass casualty events on his docket but not to assassinate someone as his typical MO.  Why is he on the rampage and how does it tie into Wujing.  Plus if you are in New Jersey, say hi to Red on the turnkpike?!?!
Support the Show! Be sure to #FillTheFedora on Patreon.
Case Profile for The Freelancer Part 2 Three weeks ago men from Wu-Wu's (yes that is what we are calling him forever now in honor of the late Robert Vesco) from Wujing's team met with a team of Mercs that helped out Marvin last season in his war with Red.  They won't join forces with Wu-Wu unless they have proof that Reddington has betrayed them and is working for the FBI.  So Wu-Wu calls upon The Freelancer to stage some high profile catastrophes in order to draw out Red and the Taskforce. A photographer that snapped a photo 6 years ago of Red, Dembe, and Rojellio is back and taking pictures of the task force arriving on the scene of Freelancer's handiwork, in order to get the proof Wu-Wu needs. 
 
Meanwhile Ressler is one year sober and about to become a sponsor for a fellow in the same line of work he is. Red is traveling the New Jersey Turnpike picking up snacks for Agnes who apparently likes a boy at school.  Cooper never saw himself as a family man but is really becoming attached to Agnes, and Herbie pays a visit to the Post Office.

Music For The Freelancer Part 2 During the cold open this week as The Freelancer goes to work on the engine room of the ferry we hear “Time is Off” a collaboration by Flash Sendeic and Neoni. While the ladies are tending to the Egyptian cotton sheets as Red arrives at Rojellios place we hear “Rondo Alla Three” by David Stienberg. Finally as Ressler and Dembe question the 9th floor after the building fire we hear “Smile With Your Teeth” by the New Mystics. 
You can hear these songs via the official Blacklist playlist on Spotify or the same playlist recreated by us on Apple Music.
