A God Complex.

Three hugs, multiple assassins, a God complex, a bad ass Dembe, that pesky warrior gene...and the death of the "Vargas is Karakurt" theory.

Yep, this episode delivered all that and more! Props to the writing team of The Blacklist...cause boy are they bringing it in season 3! I loved this episode! It was certainly on par with last week.

MOMENTS WORTH MENTIONING:

* Red finds Ressler in a N.A. meeting. This was a great exchange between Red and Ressler. While I can't imagine Red doing opium, I can certainly believe he would find it very difficult to put anyone above himself...even God Almighty. (Perhaps Liz and Dembe). It was a humorous moment and Ressler's chuckle was fabulous.

* Pee Wee is a rat...shalI say more?

* Loved the addition of Christine Lahti to the cast but she has Cabal written all over her. Her and the director...bad news.

* Ressler's shining moment provoked me to shout at the TV tonight. So glad he coming to his senses. Great to see the rest of the FBI doing so as well. Gotta give Aram a high-five...you bad ass FBI agent you! "I thought you were great!" Ah, it's love!

* The Warrior Gene showed it's ugly face again in this episode...only it was Red this time. Did you catch the look on his face when dropping that bad guy off the side of a building? Definitely reminiscent of what we've seen on Lizzie's face. Perhaps she gets it justly?

* Enter the Russians. I'm a tad worried about Tom Bond and this undercover mission. Something doesn't feel quite right. I sense trouble around the corner.

* MR. KAPLIN returns. So fun to see her create a murder scene in stead of cleaning one. Have you guys noticed how she is free to not hold her tongue with Red? It's as if she is of authority just like Red. I look forward to learning her back story.

* I'm willing to bet Tom will see the Liz shot dead news and not know it was staged.

* Those hugs! Liz hugs Red in what appears to be Fatherly moment. Red hugs Dembe in what appears to be a fatherly moment. And the best hug of all...Aram and Ressler. To Aram...I wouldn't do that again if I were you!

* Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion..."The Protocols of the Elders of Zion or The Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion is an antisemitic hoax purporting to describe a Jewish plan for global domination. It was first published in Russia in 1903, translated into multiple languages, and disseminated internationally in the early part of the 20th century. The Protocols purports to document the minutes of a late 19th-century meeting of Jewish leaders discussing their goal of global Jewish hegemony by subverting the morals of Gentiles, and by controlling the press and the world's economies. Henry Ford funded printing of 500,000 copies that were distributed throughout the US in the 1920s. Adolf Hitler was a major proponent. It was studied, as if factual, in German classrooms after the Nazis came to power in 1933, despite having been exposed as fraudulent by The Times of London in 1921. It is still widely available today in numerous languages, in print and on the Internet, and continues to be presented by some proponents as a genuine document. The Protocols is one of the best-known and most-discussed examples of literary forgery, with analysis and proof of its fraudulent origin going as far back as 1921. The forgery is an early example of "conspiracy theory" literature. Written mainly in the first person plural, the text includes generalizations, truisms, and platitudes on how to take over the world: take control of the media and the financial institutions, change the traditional social order, etc. It does not contain specifics."

* Dembe saves the Day! And he played hurt with a gun shot to the side...I love Dembe.

* Solomon gets away and Pee Wee is put down! My theory about Vargas being Karakurt was dead and buried tonight...or was it? Check this out!!!!
