Yes, Raymond. Are you okay?
It was one other hour of occasions on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 13 as we discovered one thing about Meera’s previous whereas Raymond acted like he’d misplaced his thoughts.
This was additionally the second episode in a row the place there was no Blacklist case, and the Task Force’s operation was predicated on a relentless provide of very unhealthy gamers within the legal and human world.
In D.C, Congressman Hudson discovered an ally who would give him a direct ticket right into a committee, kickstarting his investigation into the Task Force.
No activity pressure must be working with seemingly zero checks and balances.

When Raymond is engaged on one thing, he effortlessly retains it a secret from the Task Force, which is how he’d gotten away with loads for therefore lengthy.
His newest escapades noticed him reclaim antiquities wherever they have been stashed in several corners of the world. Sometimes it took an everyday dialog; different occasions, gunshots would ring.
If one thing grew to become clear, although, it was that Raymond was on a private journey of redemption. A reader made me conscious of this concept, making me notice I had been wanting on the complete problem from only one angle.
There existed a connection between the previous and the current, and that was by means of Meera Malik, Siya, and Kathleen Sutton.
We met an bold Meera who was on the peak of her profession, caring for a child.
Her companion Nigel was caught up in some points, and in attempting to assist him, Siya dug herself deeper into his mess. It was relatable how a single mistake or a couple of may dig you deep into bother.
Nigel grew to become erratic and unreasonable, placing Siya in a troublesome place. To be a girl in regulation enforcement throughout that point and have a profitable profession was not a minor accomplishment.
We skilled the unique corrupting act of Meera in letting her companion be murdered by withdrawing a warning or assist when she may have.
And in doing that, a girl misplaced her husband and was left with solely reminiscences.
In the current, Raymond had collected all his prized possessions and made a rapid storage sale for pennies on the greenback.
As regular, what he was doing was suspicious as a result of if there may be something we learn about Raymond, he by no means does something out of the kindness of his coronary heart — not less than not consecutive issues.
But as we spent extra time with him and the opposite characters, he listened to their tales and instructed some of his personal. That was when the purity and selflessness of his acts grew to become clear.
He had spent his total life working in direction of cash and costly stuff as a result of he thought of himself invincible.
Age has a approach of bringing issues into perspective, and as we get older, we notice that we nonetheless have extra to be taught. Yet, he’d lived lengthy sufficient to be taught sufficient, and so far as he may see, his finish was across the nook.
He had gotten all of it besides what was essential.
In the method, he’d harm many individuals. Whether he’d rationalized it as needed evils, his actions had actual penalties on these dwelling like Meera’s motion has long-lasting results on Kathleen’s life.
When he discovered that Siya was wanting into her mom’s previous, he nearly got here out with a warning.
Maybe what issues most, Siya, is what you already know. That you have been beloved and cared for by Meera and your stepfather. Un-redacting the previous will not change any of that.

And it was true. Siya had been beloved and cared for. She by no means lacked something as a result of Meera and Siya’s stepfather had given her all the things they may and all the things she wanted as a baby.
It is at all times advisable to not dig into the previous since you may not like what you discover.
Letting Nigel be killed and mendacity to her boss straight within the face should have modified Meera, and it will be a good assumption that she had performed some extra questionable issues all through her profession.
It wasn’t as if Siya wasn’t conscious of what occurs whenever you fiddle with evil.
When I began on this activity pressure, the very first thing Agent Ressler warned me was to not get in debt to Reddington. It looks like a slippery slope I’m undecided I need to begin sliding down.
Siya
Raymond knew that no matter she discovered would considerably have an effect on her thought of who Meera was, and nothing can be the identical.
I feel taking her on his excursions was a lesson in how somebody good can do unhealthy issues given the circumstances. Nothing like a crash course in self-defense by being dumped within the center of a shootout.
And when she did not look deterred, Raymond let all the things take its course.
Now, there’s in search of absolution and being an fool.
On The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 13 spoilers, we ran by means of the historical past of the Sicilian Error of Color stamps, and once they have been final bought in an public sale, they went for $2.1 million. Selling it for $2000 was insane, however perhaps you possibly can’t put a worth on happiness.
Charlie Pélé’s World Cup ball was given to a preteen lady who was mediocre within the recreation at finest. The ache I felt.
And perhaps it was noble to redistribute wealth like that. Most of these issues would have ended up in a millionaire’s (billionaire, god forbid) assortment. Let a girl benefit from the mild of a lamp!
But nonetheless, the numbers have been dizzying.
Cooper took the chance to ask concerning the instances, and one may nearly swear he’d introduced Agnes as a result of he thought it was the one approach Raymond would open up.
Reddington: You become older, and also you notice we make life so difficult when it does not must be. We complicate ourselves to dying.
Cooper: That could also be, however proper now my world, the world of the Blacklist, is difficult. Made extra so by your absence. Fret not, Harold. We’ll get again to enterprise quickly sufficient, I promise.
If Raymond retains his promise, the brand new instances he brings could be the distinction between freedom and jail for the Task Force.
Congressman discovered an ally whose motivations have been within the fallacious place, and if we thought Hudson was harmful, the senator was a much bigger risk.
There’s little question one thing rotten’s happening round that Task Force. We’re gonna root it out.
Hudson
“The Sicilian Error of Color” tried to relaxation some issues concerning the story and charted a transparent course on Meera and Siya, what Raymond was as much as, and the Hudson drawback.
The lack of a Blacklister the place we often get the motion left a niche however not too massive of it.
What did you suppose? Is Raymond being selfless, or that is what he desires us to consider?
Are you satisfied that the Congressman and Senator are important threats? Chime in within the feedback part.
