The Blacklist season 8 episode 3 is officially coming within a few weeks on NBC after more than a month of hiatus. Elizabeth "Liz" Keen (Megan Boone) is at the center of whatever's coming in "16 Ounces." She is determined to find out the truth and get revenge on Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader).
The Blacklist season 8 episode 3 is picking up where episode 3 left off. Liz is seeking vengeance on Red after witnessing how the latter killed her mother, Katarina Rostova (Laila Robins). This is going to be the major focus, and it could change everything between the two.
While there's still a mystery whether or not Red killed the real Katarina, Liz is angry about what happened. Katarina's intentions aren't entirely clear, but Liz saw her as a way of getting some answers to her questions. Over the past years, she has been trying to figure out Red's secrets, including his true identity.
The synopsis of The Blacklist season 8 episode 3 notes that Liz seeks revenge on Red. Since she saw what he did to her mother, this caused a huge gap between them. The situation further intensifies now that Boone's character is going on a darker path.
Speaking to a previous interview with TVLine, executive producer John Eisendrath teased that there's going to be a war between Liz and Red. Kataria's death is one of the major factors why the former is eager to find more answers. She's willing to cross the boundaries just to uncover the truth.
Entering The Blacklist season 8 episode 3, Liz might be plotting something in order to learn more about Red -- even if that means bringing him down. Yet, she might need the help of others to do this. She'll likely ask certain people what they really know about Red.
For instance, she may try to use some Task Force members -- such as Aram Mojtabai (Amir Arison). One of the latest photos of the upcoming episode features the two seemingly having a serious conversation. The question here is: Is Aram willing to help Liz achieve her plans?
After this episode, some of the events will continue in the next one. The title of episode 4 is "Elizabeth Keen," suggesting that Boone's character remains to be the focus. Also, this hints that something big is coming, and it could shake up the story.
The Blacklist season 8 episode 3 will be airing on Friday, January 22, on NBC.
