When season 3 finale showed that Alexander Kirk is Elizabeth Keen's (Megan Boone) biological father, the fans began to wonder if that is true or just a plot twist. While his announcement is sure to impact the relationship between Liz and Red (James Spader), but news reports indicate that Kirk is not the bad guy of "The Blacklist" season 4.
According to latest news, the relationship that Red and Kirk share between themselves is that of dishonesty. The fans already know that Kirk is a wealthy entrepreneur and runs a successful energy empire. Kirk will not shy away from using his wealth and influence to strike against Red, his longtime enemy. In season 4, the fans will see Kirk and Red in a face-off battle. While Kirk is not the villain, Red is convinced that he is.
"That's definitely a cliffhanger for next year," "The Blacklist" EP John Eisendrath said. "It's definitely an, 'Oh my God, who really is this person, what's his agenda and what is going to happen to Liz?' We're left with Red and everyone aware of the fact that Liz is alive, and she's also been abducted."
Meanwhile, Liz and Red will continue to have their trust issues in the upcoming season. Liz will have a hard time choosing sides between Red and her biological father, Alexander Kirk. It will be difficult for Liz to ever trust Red again after she made him falsely believe that she is dead. Moreover, her close contact with Kirk, who is also her biological father, will be a big problem for her relationship with Red.
