No. 1 - Who is Tom working for?
Tom and Jolene engaged in an intense makeout session and she later invited him up to her room. However, he went to her room and said he couldn't sleep with her because he loves his wife. Jolene retorted with the fact that Elizabeth Keen isn't Tom's wife - she's his target. Tom then asked if "they" sent Jolene to test him. He then admitted that he loves his wife because that's what he was supposed to do. That was his job. So who assigned Tom to Lizzie? Who are "they"? Is it the organization that Mr. Fitch (Alan Alda) works for? Does Jolene work for them? Why did she target Tom? Oh Tom, you always leave us guessing. Btw, does this make anyone else wonder if Tom knew Red the first time they met?
No. 2 - Why did Jolene start following Red?
For the longest time Jolene, who is really Lucy Brooks, was running away from Red. According to The Cowboy (Lance Reddick), Jolene/Lucy began to follow Red around the world. What made her change her mind? Red told the Cowboy that Jolene/Lucy must be on an assignment and he will wait to see what she will do. What made Jolene turn around and start following Red? Is she Red's daughter?
No. 3 - Will Cooper help Red when the time comes?
Red saved Cooper from this week's Blacklister, The Judge. The Judge, played by Dianne West, paid retribution to law enforcement officials and prosecutors who aided in the conviction of an innocent people. The inmate would make their plea to The Judge through letters (transferred through a private channel) and she would review them. If they were indeed wrongly convicted, she would either have the prosecutor in the case spend as much time in her "prison" as the inmate's sentence - or she would kill them if the inmate was executed. Cooper was about to be killed for his involvement in a past case but Red was able to save him. Red warned Cooper a war was coming and that he would call in his favor from Cooper in the future. Will Tom oblige? Or will he find out Red killed Diane Fowler and refuse to help the criminal mastermind?
No. 4 - When will Liz learn of Tom's motives?
We may not know everything about Tom, but we finally learned he's targeting Liz. When will Liz realize how true Red's warnings about her husband were?
"The Blacklist" airs Mondays at 10/9c on ABC.
