‘The Blacklist’ season 3, episode 22 preview: Who is Alexander Kirk? Setting up big James Spader finale

Tonight, “The Blacklist” brought us a story in “Susan Hargrave” that could up becoming a foundation for so much more. It’s almost ironic that this spin-off pilot was announced long after “Chicago PD’s” own “Chicago Justice,” and yet it aired earlier. You’ll get a chance to see that show tells its own spin-off story next week.

When it comes to “The Blacklist,” though, let’s focus in the rest of this article on “Alexander Kirk.” The May 12 episode will serve as a foundation for the upcoming finale, which is simply the conclusion of this story. It’s yet another two-part story for the show that will feature one of the most dangerous enemies for Reddington to date. Get ready for yet another fantastic performance by James Spader as we march closer to the end.

Take a look at the synopsis below to get a few more details on what is coming up next:

“The FBI task force’s hunt for revenge nears its endgame. As Reddington (James Spader) and the team close in on the mysterious arch-criminal responsible for recent tragic events, they’re forced to operate outside their comfort zone — and outside the law — in order to take down their enemy once and for all.”

Is Elizabeth Keen truly dead? We know that there are many out there still wondering the answer to that question, and we figure that said answer will come in due time. However, we’d personally be surprised if the news comes out one way or another before we get to the finale.
