The Blacklist season 5 episode 18 preview: Liz’s path to stop Ian Garvey

The Blacklist season 5 episode 18 is airing on NBC come April 11 and based on some of the information we now have, one thing seems fairly clear: The quest to take down Ian Garvey is going to be pretty paramount.

Of course, to go along with this is the methods by which some of thee characters are willing to utilize in order to take Garvey down once and for all. Liz and Reddington are both formidable in their own ways, and at this point it’s pretty darn clear that there is a major separation between them: Trust. They cannot get on the same page with each other and so long as that stays constant, it’s going

Below, the Blacklist season 5 episode 18 synopsis offers up a little bit more insight into what is going to be coming up next:

04/11/2018 (08:00PM – 09:00PM) (Wednesday) : In an attempt to apply pressure to Ian Garvey (guest star Jonny Coyne), Red (James Spader) and the Task Force head to Paris to track down a prominent heroin supplier for the Nash Syndicate. Distrustful of Red’s agenda, Liz (Megan Boone) takes her own path in going after Garvey. TV-14 L, V

The biggest thing worthy of excitement at the moment is precisely what we are building up to: A battle and a showdown for the ages with Liz potentially in one corner and Reddington in the other. These two characters have, really since the very beginning of the series, walked along what we have described as a delicate tightrope of trust. They have not been able to figure out ways in which one party has the other person’s best interest at heart. That’s going to be a problem that, more than likely, continues to plague them until the matter of the bones is resolved. Until that time, it’s hard to imagine them ever getting on the same page.

As a matter of fact, the problem probably does stem so much worse than this, given that it’s perfectly possible that the reveal of the bones sends their relationship down a ravine that they may not be able to recover from. The dishonesty and pain between the two of them is so steeped at this point that it’s hard to imagine anything that resembles hope creeping in between the cracks.
