Unanswered Questions[]

Elizabeth Keen
1. Why did Keen overreact at Red’s money laundering operation?
  1. A: She has always had a strong sense of justice, but knows Red is needed to capture high profile targets. Now that she's back to being an agent again, she's flexing her leverage to keep Red in check.
  2. A: It may be spillover from her feelings since she just found out from Dembe that Red killed Nemec.
Raymond Reddington

2. Why was Red worried about Maureen Rowan?
  1. A: He harbors regret over killing Kathryn Nemec.
3. Who is Red’s new enemy? Baldur Magnusson was certainly a pawn.
  1. A: Kathryn Nemec.
Harem
1. Except for Keen, the Harem members seemed to be thrill seekers that lacked emotional stability. They all seemed addicted to alcohol and the thrill of the crime.
2. The demand to kill an innocent person to prove their loyalty is similar to an episode from “Alias”.
3. Why did Emma Knightly use the fake pregnancy?
  1. A: It gave her an excuse to bend over to take the car keys from the man's pocket.
4. Why did Sasha Lau use a remote-controlled sniper rifle?
  1. A: A computer is more accurate.
5. Why did the Harem steal only from criminals?
  1. A: The victim will not contact the police.
6. What did Liz steal from Margot Rochet's suitcase?
  1. A: The diamonds from the prior heist.
7. What happened in Majorca with Craig Gaynier?
  1. A: Unknown. It's implied he did something to slight her.
8. Why was Sasha Lau unable to find a job?
  1. A: Unknown. It could be because of some past history that prevented her to get one, she got passed up for someone more qualified, or any other reasons. It's more common than people realize.
9. Why did Margot Rochet tell Tony Giannusa to burn down the Vegas Strip Club?
  1. A: She didn't like the place.
10. Why were only 2 darts carried for the Hong Kong break-in?
  1. It was planned to just take out Helldritch and most likely had a second as a backup. Jessica, being the reckless one, fired both without thinking.
11. Will the Harem members turns state's evidence?
Harold Cooper
1. Why did Cooper not know that the United States Federal Witness Protection Program (WITSEC) list had been stolen?
  1. Reddington typically gets this information first. Cooper would have found out, but sometime later after the FBI had more information to launch an investigation.
Will Tony Giannusa be arrested?
