'Blindspot' Season 5 Episode 9 Preview: Will Jane's confession to Madeline be an act of betrayal?
Just a few more episodes left for 'Blindspot' to wrap up and bid goodbye. But being the nerve-wracking drama that it is, it won't slip away quietly, it's going to go out with a bang. Hopefully with the end of Madeline Burke (Mary Elizabeth). For fans, just her arrest won't do, she needs to be heartlessly terminated once and for all. Tasha Zapata (Audrey Esparza) came close to doing so, and let's be honest, most of us cheered when we saw her strangling Madeline in the previous episode. A few more seconds, that might have been the end of Madeline and Tasha, as well.
Madeline and her minions closed in on the FBI fugitives and in the upcoming promo, we see that each one is being interrogated separately. Patterson (Ashley Johnson) seems to have died with the fireworks, but fans are unshakeable in their belief that she would have escaped and will return with Allie and Boston. That's a lot of hope, but you never know with this show.
The synopsis for the episode 'Brass Tacks' reads: "With the surviving members of the team captured and held in FBI custody, Madeline and Ivy are in the final stages of their plan, but a few unlikely allies come out from the woodwork trying to stop her before it's too late."
In the promos, Jane Doe (Jaimie Alexander) says she will confess to everything, and Madeline seems more than satisfied with this turn of events. However, going by the synopsis, there is hope that old allies will come and rescue the team before it's too late, and hopefully put Madeline behind bars. This could be a stretch, but Madeline's son who was seemingly zipped by her, could return too and play a role in his diabolic mother's downfall. And one ally better be Patterson.
Season 5 of 'Blindspot' has been full of zingers. It started with Reade's (Rob Brown) death after Madeline attacked the team's cabin with a drone strike. She killed Brianna in front of Matthew Weitz (Aaron Abrams) to prove that she means business. In the middle, she's been busy transporting dangerous chemicals that can wipe out people's memories, to different cities. Her game is far from over.
'Blindspot' airs on NBC on Thursdays at 9pm.
