‘The Blacklist’ episode 19 spoilers: First photo of Megan Boone, Ryan Eggold

Sadly, we start this “Blacklist” article off with the reminder that there is once again no new episode airing on NBC tonight. This is what happens when you want to have new episodes for the May sweeps! April just so happens to be the time when you run into all the repeats.

Luckily, there will be another new episode on the air next week in “The Pavlovich Brothers,” and we’ve got the first promo for it now! What stands out from this? Mostly, the intensity and the angles as we have yet another showdown between Liz and Tom Keen. So far, this has been more of a cold war between the two, but after the events on the show when it last aired, that is starting to change. Once Liz started to infiltrate the people that are involved in Tom’s cover, it was clear that there would really be no going back for him.

“The Pavlovich Brothers” will feature a new Blacklister for the team to take down, but also get us closer to answers when it comes to Megan Boone and Ryan Eggold’s characters. Before the first season ends, you should at least start to understand better what Tom has been up to … and how so much of it is ultimately connected to everything else in the story. Does Reddington, for example, know something that he hasn’t revealed to date? It is definitely possible, but what continues to make him so enigmatic is that despite how evil he comes across, he has also been very honest.
