'The Blacklist' Season 8 Episode 2: Is Katerina really dead? Fans praise 'cold-blooded' Red for finally shooting her

'Red is a natural born killer  #TheBlacklist Elizabeth is N-13  & Batarina would of killed her on @NBCBlacklist,' a user wrote

Two episodes into the Season 8 of 'The Blacklist', we've already had two deaths. First, we saw Dom (Ron Raines) die. Dom had been just recovering from a coma till he was abducted by Katerina and Liz (Megan Boone). Liz had been determined to extract answers from him, and to the point that fans now hold her responsible for his death. Yet, that wasn't the twist in this episode. Red (James Spader) shot Katerina. It was a long time coming, but it still shocked viewers nevertheless. Katerina taunted him about how Liz chose her over him, and then she says that she's coming for him. Without much haste, Red shoots her. Liz reaches there and sees this. She's furious and promises to wreak hell and havoc on Red, who just has tears in his eyes. This is the most cold-blooded that fans have ever seen Red.

Yet, fans are actually questioning whether Katerina is dead. This is 'The Blacklist' after all. "I have a feeling she aint dead #TheBlacklist," a fan tweeted. 

"Thank you for FINALLY killing Katarina!!  Love Red! Liz gets dumber each episode and I was kinda disappointed in Dembe tonight.  #TheBlacklist #RaymondReddington@HISHAMTAWFIQ#Dembe," another wrote. "Will Katarina's death stick this time? More secrets? No absolute clear answers? I've never seen more betrayal/favors from 1 character in a single episode. Damn, Liz...how much more can your team take? #TheBlacklist keeps tugging at heart strings every which way! Love it!," another fan asked.

"Spoiler alert!! Reddington did not kill Katarina Rastova instead harmed her to save her from "the Cabal". Only her has to be the only person to know Red's identity as N-13. She probably will wake up at the Eskimos, Damn plot twist #TheBlacklist #KatarinaRastovaConclusion," another speculated. "she should have died from Lizs hand but well.. dead is dead.. bye kaaaaaaat  #TheBlacklist, a fan tweeted. "Red is a natural born killer  #TheBlacklist Elizabeth is N-13  & Batarina would of killed her on @NBCBlacklist. Fanforever Ding Dong the B//! Is DEAD!," a fan wrote.
