‘The Blacklist’ spoilers: A crown for ‘The Kingmaker’; Liz learns a secret of Red’s

While you wait for new episodes of “The Blacklist” to come back on the air, we’re here with the occasional update to tide you over … including what could be an awesome episode. At least if it lives up to its name.

According to SpoilerTV, the title for the 20th installment of the season is “The Kingmaker,” which for some reason make us think of the “a crown for the king” line from Drogo on “Game of Thrones.” (We’re guessing that something different happens here than on the HBO show … just a hunch.)

The synopsis below gives you a little bit of a better idea of what to expect when it comes to two important things: The Blacklister of the week, and also some more development in the Liz / Red relationship:

“Red thinks the Kingmaker (Linus Roache), a strategist, is responsible when a politician in Prague is framed for murder; Liz uncovers a secret Red has been hiding.”

With every episode, we tend to learn a little bit more about who Reddington really is in Liz’s past, what he wants, and more. We’ve said it before, and it bears restating here: It’s okay with us if we don’t find out everything about their relationship and their history this season. Some things do have to be saved to keep things exciting. All we hope is that there is enough answered to at least keep us hooked, rather than just answering a question with another question. That is one of the most frustrating tropes of network TV: That producers expect that you will be willing to wait until the series finale to find out everything you’ve been wanting to know.

What do you think Liz could find out from Reddington in this episode? Share below.
