'Blindspot' season 2 spoilers: Weller and Nas track down a fugitive in episode 6; Rob Brown discusses Reade's complicated situation
Weller (Sullivan Stapleton) and Nas (Archie Panjabi) hunt down a fugitive in the upcoming episode of NBC's mystery drama "Blindspot" season 2.
Titled "Her Spy's Mind," next week's episode of will feature a suspect who's on the run. According to the official synopsis for episode 6, Weller and Nas will head out of the country to chase a fugitive whistleblower in Bulgaria. Elsewhere, Jane (Jaimie Alexander) embarks on a mission for Sandstorm with Roman (Luke Mitchell), while Reade (Rob Brown) and Zapata (Audrey Esparza) must immediately deal with an important matter.
In the previous episode, Reade's problems with his repressed memories eventually boiled over and led to a fatal consequence. The unhinged agent went out of his way to unravel the truth behind his past, particularly whether or not he was sexually abused by Coach Jones (Brian O'Neill). After going to Jones' house, he found a secret closet filled with VHS cassettes with his and his former teammates' names on them. Much to his surprise, he also discovered Jones' corpse.
It remains to be seen if he was responsible for Jones' death, but Brown recently caught up with TV Guide to give new details on the unexpected twist involving his character. According to the actor, Reade may have felt a bit of closure upon seeing Jones' body.
"At the very least just closure that a bad person can do no more harm," he explained. "At the end of the day, he's an FBI agent who catches bad guys. If a bad guy goes, great. Personally, man. There is no closure with him gone. You can't speak to him, that's done. Now everything is empirical."
Although he won't reveal if Reade killed Jones, he shared his thoughts on the possibility of Freddy being the murderer. "Well that would make sense, victims would be suspects I feel like that in that regard," he added.
The second season of "Blindspot" airs every Wednesday night at 8 p.m. EST on NBC.
