'The Blacklist' Season 4 release date, plot spoilers: Will Red forgive Liz for faking her own death?
The third season of highly successful drama thriller "The Blacklist" ended up with high emotions and unexpected twists and turns. Perhaps the most shocking sequence in the finale episode of Season 3 is the revelation of a character that many believed to be dead. However, the upcoming fourth season of the TV series might still have the repercussions of this revelation.
"The Blacklist" Season 3 featured one of the most heartbreaking scenes on the show with the death of Elizabeth "Liz" Keen (Megan Boone). Her death was shown in an episode titled "Mr. Solomon: Conclusion" and it showed Liz dying after the combined effects of labor as she gave birth to her baby daughter and the injuries that she sustained from a car accident.
However, as the viewers watch the intriguing final episode of the third season, Liz appeared alive and well. It turns out that Liz faked her own death and she planned this all along with Tom Keen (Ryan Eggold) and Kate Kaplan (Susan Blommaert). She revealed that she needed everyone to think that she has died in order for her to get away from Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader).
Spader's character went to a roller coaster ride of emotions in the season finale upon learning of Liz's faked death. At first, she was delighted to know that Liz was alive. However, he also felt betrayed as Liz and Kaplan made him look like a fool for keeping all these secrets from him.
In an interview with Spader via News Everyday, he revealed that Liz and Red's relationship may still go well in Season 4, as Red really understands why Liz had to pretend as a dead person for a few episodes in the third season.
"Listen, Liz has pushed Red away many times before and he's always waited patiently in the wings. So despite the fact that she's gone to extreme lengths to get away from him, I don't think he'll be changing," Spader said. "I think he would have an understanding for what led to this."
