'The Blacklist' Season 7 Episode 3: How long will Liz, the FBI profiler, take to figure out the Russian next door is her murderous mother?
Season 7 of 'The Blacklist', which is only two episodes in, is already one of the most intense and thrilling seasons in the NBC series. It starts off with Liz's (Megan Boone) mother Katarina (Laila Robins) kidnapping Red (James Spader) and torturing him in more ways than one before tracking him to Liz's grandfather's — her father — hideout, before the FBO task force catches up to them. Even though everyone was saved, they are far from being safe because Katarina is still out there, and not just anywhere — she lives right next door to Liz, and has taken up the fake identity of Maddy Toliver, a peaceful old woman who is surely going to befriend Liz and earn her trust.
And at this point, our primary question is — isn't Liz an FBI profiler? Why then is she not able to decipher that the Russian woman who moved in next door out of nowhere is her murderous mother?
At the moment we are extremely concerned about the safety of Liz's daughter Agnes, especially after watching that chilling new trailer for the upcoming Season 7 Episode 3, titled 'Les Fleurs Du Mal'. which is the namesake of a volume of French poetry by Charles Baudelaire from the 19th century. The trailer sees Katarina seemingly reading a children's book to Agnes: "Once upon a time there lived the prettiest creature who was ever seen," to a creepy background.
Liz seems to be looking on lovingly as Agnes and "Maddy" play together and bond together, while getting lost in the story of the Little Red Riding Hood, and if she has any suspicions regarding her new neighbor she is definitely not showing it. In the previous episode where Maddy is first introduced we see a momentary hesitation in Liz and her wondering if something is out of place. Unfortunately, she does not seem to want to validate that hunch and it may be too late before she realizes that something is wrong.
Meanwhile, Liz has something at work to worry about, with Aram (Amir Arison ) having gone undercover to infiltrate a secret society of wealthy thrill-seekers. Hopefully, she puts two and two together quickly, but we are sure excited to see Season 7 Episode 3 of 'The Blacklist' which airs on Friday, October 19, to find out how this all pans out.
