RECAP:NBC's The Blacklist Season 2 premiere 'Lord Baltimore'
September 29, 2014
One of the
most anticipated NBC shows The Blacklist returned last Monday for
season 2. If you have seen this show then you're probably obsessed
with this show like I am. James Spader is the king of Monday night!
Last week's
premiere of season 2 opened with Raymond Reddington in the trunk of a
car speeding down a dirt road in a country in Africa. We soon find
out that Red has intentionally gotten himself caught by a warlord in
hopes of obtaining information about Berlin. He's armed with $3
million in cash as incentive for the warlord to give up whatever
information he has on Berlin and the names of the other people Berlin
has hired to find Red. The money doesn't seem to be enough to
convince the warlord so Red secret weapon, hellfire missiles, seem to
be a bit more persuasive. We now have a name...Lord Baltimore.

A new
Deputy Attorney is not convinced that the resources that Reddington
has been given are being used wisely and she demands to speak to him.
Agent Ressler is the one to fill him in on the fact that “Reddington
only talks to Elizabeth Keen”.
Elizabeth
Keen is back but doesn't seem to be the Keen we know and love. She's
in a dingy hotel room staring at pictures of her fake husband, Tom.
Later we see her in a hoodie going to meet with Reddington for
information.
We then
find out that Lord Baltimore is actually a woman and that she is not
searching for Reddington but for his ex-wife, Naomi Hyland
(Mary-Louise Parker). Naomi has been living in hiding under the
witness protection program. Red tells Keen to get FBI agents over to
Naomi's house to protect her.
Agents rush
over to Naomi's to warn her and to put her in protective custody.
Meanwhile, Lord Baltimore who we learn is a twin with dissociative
identity disorder is activated, gathers her team, and goes to Naomi's
place. They quickly take out the guests and FBI agents at Naomi's
house, except Keen, and kidnap Naomi. Keen is able to act quickly and
arrests Lord Baltimore.
