Recap / The Blacklist S 5 E 21 Lawrence Dane Devlin

Go To

With Samar missing, the Task Force works to find the man who took her before its too late. Meanwhile, Red travels to Costa Rica on the trail of Garvy in search of the duffle-bag.

This episode shows examples of...

  • Anguished Declaration of Love: Facing the every real possibility of dying, Samar tells Aram in no uncertain terms if he had proposed what her answer would have been:
    Samar: If you had asked me to marry you, my love, my answer would've been yes.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Continuing from the last episode, Aram shows how far he's willing to go to save her. He breaks protocol by receiving a Bible for Nicholas Moore in exchange for the name of his fixer, but its clear he doesn't regret the decision when Moore kills himself with a Cyaniade pill hidden inside it.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Played With as Dembe is all but stated to be Red's Token Good Teammate, but his anger and disgust at Muslim artifacts being sold on the black market which would in turn fund further terrorist activities in the Middle East. None the least, Red agrees with him calling it "cultural genocide" and buys the Syrian relief on the condition that the terrorists who stole it get nothing, later seeing it returned.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Sweet Adorkable Nice Guy Aram shows to be in no mood with Samar still missing, best shown when he plays the "bad cop" when interrogating Deviln's employee. He also didn't show guilt when Moore commits suicide thanks to a Cyanide pill hidden in the bible Aram gave him, and quite possibly had guessed what he wanted for.
