Directed by Michael W Watkins

Written by Jon Bokenkamp, John Eisendrath, Amanda Kate Shuman, Brandon Margolis, & Brandon Sonnier

Lord Baltimore (No. 104) provides examples of:


  • Child Soldiers: Reddington gets kidnapped by three Cameroonian child soldiers. He reveals that he got captured intentionally, so that he could talk to the warlord Yaabari.
  • Made of Iron: Liz resists a 50,000-volt Tasering long enough to shoot her assailant.
  • Rape as Backstory: Nora Mills was molested as a child by her uncle Rick. No one believed her and she ended up growing more aggressive and anti-social as a result.
  • Spare a Messenger: Berlin takes Naomi and massacres all of Baltimore's men but leaves one barely alive so he could give Reddington an address.
  • Split Personality: Lord Baltimore has two identities: Nora Mills, the original identity, and Rowan Mills, an identity based off of the twin sister Nora murdered. Rowan switches to Nora every time someone plays We Three by The Ink Spots.
  • Wham Episode: This episode introduces Reddington's ex-wife, who is kidnapped by the titular villain and delivered to Berlin. At the end of the episode, he mails Red a finger that is supposedly hers.
