‘The Blacklist’ season 2 spoilers: Meet Glen, Zoe, and more of Red’s past

The great thing about “The Blacklist” is that there are so many guest stars, it leads to being able to share a number of great stories before the new season even premieres. The bad news? There is still plenty of uncertainty when it comes to how most of these people tie in to the world that has been established already.

Per a new report from TVLine, one of the characters that you are going to meet in the show’s upcoming fifth episode is Glen, a short man with ties to the DMV. Yet, somehow he still has ties to Raymond Reddington. (To us, this definitely serves as some sort of proof that the DMV has all sorts of evil within it. We’ve know this all along!)

In addition to this, one other character you should look out for in this same episode is Zoe. She is described as “pretty,” but is also a woman who has been through quite a bit … and could be extremely important in helping us as viewers identify just sort of man James Spader’s character really is.

What is the most interesting to us right now is the idea that these two may be more than just the standard Blacklister. After all, remember here that neither one of them has a villain-of-the-week label attached to them, and neither one really sounds like they fit that bill, either. (We’ll just have to wait and see.)

Do either one of these characters sound interesting to you on some level? Let us know with a comment below.
