'The Blacklist' Season 2 Episode 5 Spoilers: Liz and Red Race to Stop Pneumonic Plague
"The Blacklist" is an American crime drama television series airing on the NBC network. The series was created by Jon Bokenkamp and revolves around the story of Raymond "Red" Reddington, a former government agent turned high-profile criminal. Reddington had eluded capture for decades but then volunatrily surrenders to the FBI, offering to cooperate on capturing hard-to-find criminals.
The show is currently on its second season, which first premiered on Sept. 22 last month.
Episode 5 is scheduled to premiere today and spoilers reveal that Liz has been infected by a virus and is admitted to the hospital. In the meantime, Red decides to get to the bottom of the biological warfare with the help of his allies in the FBI.
The synopsis for episode 5 is a short one and it reads: "An eco-terrorist cell searches for a destructive weapon; Liz tries to escape her guardian."
It reveals very little about episode 5 but clues could be found in the previous episodes. In the last two episodes, the duo traveled across the world to try and capture two elusive and very dangerous doctors. This time in episode 5 however, they will be dealing with an ecological extremist who is using disease as a weapon to achieve a rather perverted goal.
Apparently, this extremist has acquired lab samples of a pneumonic plague. Also, in a photo still released by the NBC shows Liz in a hospital bed and it's going to be hitting Red personally.
