After what seemed like a pointless diversion to redeem Tom Keen, The Blacklist got somewhat back on track this week, dealing with the Syndicate, and the Fulcrum, and Red’s precarious position as a man with a mark. Sadly, Tom is still around, and sadly the show continues to indulge whatever lingering feelings that Liz is supposed to have for him, but the meat of the show, the compelling part that deals with Red’s mysterious business and his more mysterious motivations, finally came back to the fore. On top of it all, the case of the week, though somewhat contrived, offered an interesting character and interesting result courtesy of the Blacklister of the week: Vanessa Cruz.
Vanessa, basically, launched an elaborate scheme to get revenge on the conspirators in a fraud scheme, a group of powerful men who ripped off millions and then framed her husband, the last honest man,...

The Blacklist is all stylized storytelling with complicated characters and a fondness for making us look at right and wrong from a slightly skewed angle. We might call it ethically challenged. "Vanessa Cruz" gave us the familiar formula with an almost clinical execution. We saw Liz facing her usual internal conflicts, Red trying to get the mystical fulcrum, and a Blacklister who offered up much more than a cliched, all bad villain. But it's those twisty, unexpected turns that truly deliver a quality drama week after week. Unlike so many shows that say "just wait for those last ten minutes" and then give a yawn worthy conclusion, The Blacklist shoves those final moments in our face like a slap executing an ending that could drop any jaw.
