WARNING: This article may contain spoilers for The Blacklist season 7 episode 12. Read at your own risk.
The Blacklist season 7 episode 12 is coming within a few weeks on NBC, with the title "Cornelius Ruck." This episode will see Raymond "Red" Reddington spending some time with someone from his past. However, things wouldn't be easy for them as they need to accomplish some things.
In The Blacklist season 7 episode 12, Red reunites with an old flame Cassandra Bianchi, played by Joely Richardson. Based on some photos from the episode, it looks like she's surprised to see Red standing in front of her door. She's also wearing a robe, so Red may have not called ahead.
Cassandra could be a significant character in the episode, as she's likely the one who could help Red. In addition, she's also Red's former romantic interest, so many were delighted to see the two spend some time once again. Yet, they didn't reunite because of a romantic reason.
Cassandra and Red reunite in The Blacklist season 7 episode 12 because of a very important mission. Red will be working with Cassandra to uncover the truth about the stolen-art operation. The two were on a secluded island, but their plans quickly derailed after guests on the island show up dead.
Meanwhile, it's also uncertain whether or not the rest of the Task Force will be seen alongside Red. But some photos of Liz were also shown, wherein she's spending some moments with Agnes. Cooper was also seen in some photos sporting a very intellectual set of frames.
In another related report, the series has been off-air for about three months, so many were excited to see it back on the small screen. The midseason finale featured an episode titled "Katarina Rostova," with some fans wondering whether the character's arc will continue or wrap up this season.
Katarina is the number 3 on the Blacklist, which hints that she might be significant moving forward. She's also Liz's mother and could be the key to Liz discovering the secrets about her past. It was confirmed she's alive in season 6's "Robert Diaz" episode, where it revealed she's living in Paris.
Liz helped Katarina faked her own death, while Red thought Katarina's already dead. The midseason finale also left a huge cliffhanger about the character's fate, so her story might be featured in the two-part midseason premiere as well.
The Blacklist season 7 episode 12 will be the second part of the back-to-back episodes, which will air on Friday night, Mar. 20, on NBC.
