Cooper wants to find out everything about the man, including his financial records. Liz and Ressler talk to the cabbie’s widow and find out he was dying of a brain tumor. Meanwhile, the Undertaker gets a woman to kill a man at a gas station by dousing both of them in gas and lighting them on fire. Red says they need a new case, and tells her about the Undertaker and the deaths of the cabbie and the woman. They agree that they have to make it look like nothing has changed. She wants to know why Tom came into her life because of Red and how they are connected, but Red tells her the only thing that matters right now is to find out who Tom really is and whom he is working for. She wants to know more about him, but Red says he doesn’t know much more than she does, only that Tom or whomever he is working for started to meddle in his affairs. Red explains that he has been monitoring Tom for a while. She then goes to a secret hideout and makes an evidence wall with his picture.

He leaves for school and she throws things around the apartment and looks through his things.

Tom makes pancakes for Liz and then says he wants to renew their wedding vows. He’s dying and the Undertaker promises him a ton of money if he’ll do something for him. The Undertaker approaches another guy, Danny, in a hospital. And he leaves their families money after each killing. Meet the Undertaker, who gets people to kill others (and usually themselves in the process). When a show opens with a scene in which a woman hails a cab that just happens to be driven by a taxi driver she knows, and that cabbie apologizes to her before slamming into a truck, killing them both, and that scene is followed by one involving the man who’d hired the cabbie to kamikaze, and the mastermind is seen drinking a gross concoction made in a blender while sitting in his underwear with blood on his body and then shown to be taking off his fake nose and putting it in a plastic cup, wouldn’t you call it weird? Yes, we’re in Criminal Minds territory again.

But I think they could have done it in a more subtle way, especially considering this was the series finale.Īctually, tonight’s episode (which wasn’t, in fact, the series finale) was weird, but it had nothing to do with robot clowns. I’ve watched the episode twice now and I’m not sure why the writers decided to put that scene in there, unless they did it to draw attention away from the way Reddington died in the explosion or the scene where we found out Tom was a good guy after all. The weirdest part of this week’s The Blacklist was the scene with the robot clowns.
