• Title: The Blacklist – Dr. Michael Abani
• wiki: link

While foreshadowing the next big trouble for the task force, the final season of The Blacklist offers up a Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq) episode as the love of his life reaches out for help after her fiancé gets into trouble overseas. In yet another episode of the season without a new Blacklister, something even the task force themselves begin to discuss internally, “Dr. Michael Abani” does provide several flashbacks to Dembe’s time with Aissa (played by both Zainab Jah and Sibongile Mlambo) and reminds us what Dembe gave up to serve Reddington (James Spader) all those years ago.

“The Man in the Hat” is an unusual episode in that it offers very little of Reddington (James Spader) with the task force searching for their missing consultant they believe might be a hostage in a gas station in Pennsylvania. With Reddington MIA, the focus is on Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) and Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq) helping local authorities to handle the situation and life back at the post office for the rest of the team where Harold (Harry Lennix) is given an arbitrary deadline by Senator Panabaker (Deirdre Lovejoy) not helped by the missing Red and Siya (Anya Banerjee) discovers a secret about her mother she wasn’t prepared to learn.

Things get back to normal on The Blacklist with a case of the week as Reddington (James Spader) sends the team off a man who is known to be able to smuggle anything into prisons. In a twist, the man the FBI is working for spent 25 years in prison for a crime that Harold (Harry Lennix) helped send to prison as one of the man’s jurors. “The Postman” has the feel of a script that had been kicking around the writer’s room for awhile and, despite still not being quite ready, got greenlit in the show’s final season.

• Title: The Blacklist – The Troll Farmer: Part 2
• wiki: link

The final season of The Blacklist continues to play back its hits with the return of the Troll Farmer (Aaron Yoo) from Season 3 now working for Wujing (Chin Han) to steal a cutting-edge cyber-weapon from the NSA. The theft goes off without a hitch, althought the task force is able to capture him somewhat easily afterwards. While getting their hands on the Blacklister, and another couple familiar faces, Wujing continues to illude the task force’s grasp and the exact target he had for the malware remains a mystery.
