‘The Blacklist’ season 3, episode 11 preview: Will the real Reddington please stand up?
“The Blacklist” on Thursday finally uncorked part of the story that we’ve been following all season long, and that is a journey to figure out whether or not Liz Keen can ever be a free woman again. With that being said, you had to know that there was going to be more trouble awaiting her no matter if she was freed or not… and you’ll see some of that on the show next week as she begins to adjust to life again.
Before we do anything else, let’s pose the same question as the promo below: If he isn’t the real Raymond Reddington then who exactly is he? Has James Spader been playing a faux-Reddington all this time and if he has been then what for? There have been some pretty serious twists on this show (“The Blacklist” has never been afraid to take big risks), but this would be a huge one to suddenly make all of the viewers entirely re-imagine this character as who he really is. As is typical with this show, we imagine so much more is going on with this premise since nothing is as it seems.
Next week’s new episode is entitled “Mr. Gregory Devry,” and you can see the synopsis for it in full below:
“With her name finally cleared, Liz (Megan Boone) attempts to reclaim her former life. Red (James Spader) works with the task force to infiltrate an assembly of high-level criminals at large in a rare, risky opportunity to capture the heads of the world’s most lethal organized crime syndicates.”
Also, let it be known that just because Liz is out of her current situation does not mean that the surprises and life changes will stop (it’s not like she got out of this without a little blood on her hands). There are some more key events coming over the next few episodes that should set the course as to where we are going the rest of the season.

My sister has said since the very beginning of the show that the Red WE know is not the real Red. Her thoughts are that The-Red-We-Know was undercover and following the Real-Red. Somehow he was betrayed while in deep, the Real-Red was killed and The-Red-We-Know took his place. He was betrayed by someone who works either in the Cabal or who is The Adversary from season one…(Not Berlin, of course)

If he is not the real Ray Reddington thne he sure has the Reddington organization believing he is, Two years of running the syndicate. A bag full of fake IDs. Alan, Ranko, Luther, Carla,Sam, King and Anslo, all acting like he is Ray. He burns down Ray’s old house.He flirts with Madeleine. He is tracked by Mossad. His picture is on the FBI posters. If he is not Ray then Ray talks too much and yet no one recognizes him as this Ray knew about the Fulcrum, how to find it, about Liz and how to activate her, and about things a ghost would not reveal. He is the Talented Mr Reddington and Ray would be a fool to come forward.

” Someone’s been helping the FBI, imagine as I will as it was me Ray Reddington ”
My opinion. . Any help.. me and my wife are arguing over what he said..

What I am curious about is that I thought maybe (and the way the camera kept following Liz as she left jail kept me very tense) the Cabal would like kidnap her and now force the team to actively have to engage with Tom (and not just Cooper) as he does find people easily, to accommodate Megan Boone’s pregnancy.
I think in the immediate future, they will likely recall that Elizabeth Keen actually is a criminal profiler by training and that will be how the task force hires her as.
