Compared to the last couple of episodes, this one was definitely a filler. Slow-moving at that. Reddington is released from prison with a new appreciation for freedom and decides to go after a myth, treasure that supposedly sank to the bottom of the ocean centuries ago. Other than a progression of Samar's storyline, not much has happened but it was still entertaining all the same.
- Poor Samar. Someone so young and bright and had a long future ahead of her shouldn't have to suffer like she is. If indeed she goes away, she will be missed.
- Amar. Pretty sure discussing Samar's medical condition with her ex won't make her very happy.
- This show wouldn't be what it is without the supporting cast. Red's merry band of misfits make The Blacklist what it is. Glen, Ruddiger, Dembe, etc. They may be criminals but they're people you root for with every inch of your body. Hilarious! I miss Baz. I wonder what happened to him? I don't remember seeing him after he was loaded into an ambulance with a minor gunshot wound from Mr. Kaplan. Bring him back!
- Didn't Elizabeth used to have a baby? Did she decide to let her mother-in-law keep her?
- Vesco is so playing Reddington again. Don't fall for his act! Red isn't that naive. He won't fall for it. I hope.
- Aram and Samar are a cute couple. Though I don't see much use for romance in a show like this, they still make me feel warm and fuzzy.
- Dammit, Reddington. You're too trusting of your friends. And now you look like a fool.
This is an episode you can drop completely and not notice anything different. This was a mindless piece of fluff thrown in, almost like the writers went on strike but they needed an episode to fill their quota so they released a screenplay contest on the internet and here we are. It was fine but not usual Blacklist standard. Even Reddington seemed like he was just phoning it in.
