Unanswered Questions

1. Elizabeth Keen
   1. Keen is applying a double standard to her actions.
   2. Is Keen luring Norman Singleton into a trap?
      1. A: No. She took a gamble on Detective Singleton and believes he wants to also find the crooked cops who killed Tom.
2. Raymond Reddington
   1. Does Red need Sinclair for a future doubling operation?
      1. A: In “Ian Garvey: Conclusion”, Red recruited Sinclair to have a double pose as Garvey.
   2. How did Red find Sinclair’s car?
      1. A: As Sinclair meticulously planned everything, he likely noted the meeting location and time in his file, which Red took.
3. Raleigh Sinclair III
   1. Sinclair's number of clients is identical to his Blacklist number.
   2. Why did Sinclair leave the file open in the laboratory?
      1. A: It seems that he expects everyone to act to his standards.
      2. A: It was probably a test to see his employee's adherence to the rules.
   3. Who did Sinclair kill in the laboratory?
      1. A: A potential double for his client.
   4. How many of Sinclair's clients will be convicted?
      1. A: 27. Because of the double jeopardy law, the 24 that were already acquitted or found innocent can not be charged by an eligible jurisdiction for the same crime.
      2. A: The conspiracy and accessory felonies may apply.
   5. Why did Sinclair kill the possible double? He was going to meet Brian Barrett.
      1. A: The double became aware of what was really happening and wanted out.
   6. What did Sinclair do when a double was not available?
      1. A: Sinclair would continue looking until one was found. He's very obsessive by nature so he would not have given up. This is evidenced by the fact that he found a second double for Brian even though it took several months.

Slanders on the FBI and Police

1. Why did Cooper not consider the possibility of the car being stolen or Sinclair using a car registered to a woman?
2. Why did the police not review the automated teller machine camera at the coffee shop.
   1. A: It's never stated the police didn't look at the ATM camera, but Aram does mention that the facial recognition software they use is something only accessible to the Bureau. Normal officers would not have been able to catch the difference between the original and the double without that technology.
