The Blacklist season 8 episode 9 is still a few weeks away from airing on NBC but the network already shared a few details on what lies ahead. The title of this particular episode is "The Cyranoid" and it will focus on a certain company and its operation.
According to the synopsis of The Blacklist season 8 episode 9, the Task Force encountered a nefarious enterprise that "provides doppelgängers for criminals." This is a complicated case for them, but it looks like some secrets might be revealed along the way.
This enterprise might be related to certain characters and it raises questions regarding their identities. For instance, a lot of theories emerged that Katarina Rostova (Laila Robins) was fake and the real one is still alive. There's also speculation that Reddington (James Spader) is not the real one.
For now, it's yet to be seen whether this storyline continues to play out in the future or just a case-of-the-week in The Blacklist season 8 episode 9. Aside from taking on the matter, Reddington also deals with Liz's (Megan Boone) bold move.
Liz hasn't been seen over the past few weeks and her whereabouts remain unknown. Yet, it's clear that she is plotting something to take Reddington down. There is also a possibility that she's associated with the aforementioned enterprise, given that she's been trying to get the former Blacklisters on her side.
Two more episodes are set to air before The Blacklist season 8 episode 9. Although nothing is confirmed, some details teased that Liz might show up within these episodes. The title of episode 7 is "Chemical Mary" and it'll see the return of the two dangerous Blacklisters.
Liz potentially enlists to go after Reddington, prompting the Task Force to race against the time before it's too late. This is something that makes her completely different now -- she seeks the old Blacklisters not to arrest them but to team up with them.
Meanwhile, the bird-watcher Anne is appearing again in episode 8. She is a mysterious character who appeared earlier this season and formed a connection with Red. She met him on a park the time he's been going through a lot -- especially with his issues with Liz.
Based on a recent preview photo, Anne and Red meet up again. They're out having dinner together and it looks like there's already a deeper bond between them. Their relationship is something that might be explored in the future.
The Blacklist season 8 episode 9 airs on Friday, March 5, on NBC.
