The Blacklist season 8 episode 17 spoilers: Who is #5 on the Blacklist?
Already this season, we have learned that Elizabeth Keen is #1 on the list, and that does make a great deal of sense. After all, she is the biggest threat to Raymond Reddington out there — he won’t kill her, and as of late, she’s been more than fine plotting against him at every turn. We’ve also learned recently that Katarina Rostova is #3 on the list.

Thanks to some promotional photos that have been released for Friday’s episode, we now know that Ivan is none other than #5 on the list! This obviously solidifies that he is a person of great importance to this mythology, not that this comes as a surprise. With Ivan holding the #5 spot on the list, this means that the #2 spot is really the only major question mark now. Our assumption is that this would go to our current Big Bad Neville Townsend — the only other explanation is that Neville is somehow lower and there’s another Big Bad for season 9 we haven’t met yet.
Of course, we presume it’s also possible that Reddington himself is #2 in a weird, “I’m my own worst enemy” kind of way. Yet, since this is Reddington’s list, we’re not sure it makes all that much sense for him to include himself on the list.
