'Blindspot' Season 5 Episode 4: Pregnant Tasha sees Reade's ghost, fans 'get the chills' but miss him more
'Blindspot' brought on the waterworks in the latest episode, amid all the intense action. While trying to track Madeline Burke's (Mary Elizabeth) sinister plans that involve procuring deadly chemicals and spreading it to ten capital cities, the team had their own personal dilemmas to deal with. Kurt Weller (Sullivan Stapleton) learned that his daughter is unwell and in hospital, and Tasha Zapata (Audrey Esparza) revealed she is pregnant with Edgar Reade's (Rob Brown) child. Tasha has been overcome by grief after losing Reade in the drone strike and is struggling to move past her trauma. In the earlier episode, she froze during action as she remembered him, and now, during another crucial sequence, she saw his ghost and this motivates her to get into the battle.
The most painful part for fans, was to watch Reade flashbacks. In order to understand Madeline's motives, the team had to ask Zapata to think back to a case that took place 10 years ago and it happened to the day where she first met Reade. At first, it hurt her too much to remember details, but with the help of the team, she slowly remembered crucial details from that day. She remembered the flirty banter with Reade, their fight and how they saved each other's lives at the end of the episode. This left fans in tears, who are still hoping for Reade to make a miraculous return. But sorry folks, this is the best that we're going to get-flashbacks of him. Perhaps his ghost too. *Sigh*
"We’re seeing how Tasha and Reade first met!!" a fan tweeted. "Awwww Reade in Tasha's flashback. This will be a tough hour, #Blindspot," another noted. "I'm in my feels again. Remembering how Reade saved Tasha's life in the premier," a fan wroted, with several crying emoticons.
"Reade standing there with her though...gave me chills “I got you Tasha, #Blindspot," a fan wrote. "#Blindspot Glad Reade was there in spirit so Tasha can take out those men," another tweeted. "Reade is always with you, Tasha," another emotional fan wrote.
