'The Blacklist' has been back for all of two weeks but tension still runs high in the aftermath of Katerina Rostova (Laila Robins). Elizabeth (Megan Boone) has been aching to seek revenge on Red (James Spader) ever since the day he killed her mother, Katarina, and tonight's episode might even see that escalate to the ranks of Liz doing something so potentially dangerous and harming that there is no coming back.

But fans can rest easy knowing that this fiery exchange of bullets will take a swerve in the upcoming Episode 5 of the final and eighth season. Read on to find out when it airs and what unfolds.

According to TV listings, 'The Blacklist' Season 8 Episode 5 will air in just a short week's time — next Friday, February 5, at its usual 8 pm time slot on NBC. The episode titled 'The Fribourg Confidence' will see "The Task Force investigate an organization of bank robbers with special expertise in stealing from other criminals. Meanwhile, an old blacklist case resurfaces." 

Sure it's all teasing and titillating as an old case resurfaces, but will it be the burning question of who is N13? Will the world finally learn of what Red told Katarina in her final hours or is this going to be a random tension spiked cat and mouse chase as usual? This comes after tonight's Episode 4 titled 'Elizabeth Keen' follows the titular FBI agent at large.

The official synopsis reveals "As Red and the Task Force search for Liz, she sets a new plan in motion that has catastrophic consequences." Photos for tonight's Episode reveal Liz has gone full rogue, prowling the streets with care and caution, dressed in all black, her head and luscious locks tucked away under a beanie.

The episode will see a full circle arc for Liz as from the hunter she goes down to being hunted, with her name at the top of the agency's all-time blacklist. There's also been word on how Liz might indulge in recruiting the very people she had spent eight years capturing and putting to justice, so it's all going to be very enticing.

'The Blacklist' Season 8 airs on Fridays at 8 pm on NBC.
