And by the end of the episode, Ressler is concerned that whatever Red is searching for will wind up getting Liz killed. They’re searching for something and it’s something more than just leverage to exonerate Liz with. Because as Samar notes, Red and Liz are fugitives, but they’re not running and hiding. And I, like Samar, am also wondering what Red’s endgame is in all of this fugitive stuff. While “The Djinn” is ultimately disappointing in the sense that I know the show is capable (and has proven it is) of creating more compelling, less case-of-the-week dependent episodes, this particular episode still had some really intriguing elements to it.

It seems far too generic and cookie-cutter, but the way that Red looks at her during this scene makes me think that maybe that’s his fantasy for her: to be able to see Liz live a normal life, free of pain and suffering and actually, genuinely happy for once. She tells Red in this episode that her deepest fantasy is to walk through a park with her husband and a little daughter, but I’m not sure I buy that, either. I honestly am interested to know what it is that Liz craves more than anything else in the world, since it’s not revenge on the Cabal. In their defense, though, this episode is still far better executed than seasons one and two. Mostly because The Blacklisthas now decided to do that thing I hated in the first two seasons –– ask more questions and not deliver answers, while leaving plot threads dangling in the wind. Until the final few minutes of the episode, I really wasn’t entirely invested. This week, the case felt more serialized and was complete with yet another escape executed by Red and Liz (man, the FBI is REALLY bad at their timing these days).

It feels like now, the series is reaching back into its stale hat of tricks, rifling around for something to use again. This week’s “The Djinn” and last week’s episode are a bit of a letdown after the stellar first few two episodes of the series (see, I shouldn’t have said anything because I jinxed it).

Vargas found his way into captivity alongside Dembe.

More stuff about corn and corn fields happened, too. Then Liz shot an agent and then immediately felt remorse so they rushed him to the hospital. Lots of boring stuff about GMOs and corn (yeah, CORN) was the focus of “Eli Matchett.” And Ressler and Samar nearly caught up with Liz and Red like, three times. Tom ended up teaming up with Cooper to find Karakurt as a way to exonerate Liz.

Before we talk about “The Djinn,” let’s recap what happened while I was out of town during last week’s episode of T he Blacklist : Tom wanted to help Ressler find Liz Ressler refused.
