Yes, multiple houses!
What is he preparing for?
Your guess is as good as mine.

But what we do know is that this week, Red hosts the mother of all garage sales.
Included in the pickings:
Should any of these things be in a private collection?
Is it kind of disturbing that Red’s been hoarding priceless artifacts?

Will I forgive it because he’s my favorite criminal character on television?
(Insert soothing voice saying “thanks to viewers like you.")
Having discovered she was adopted, Siya is full of questions about her mother.
Luckily, we get some answers.
Through a series of flashbacks, we meet young CIA Agent Meera Malik (Nikita Tewani).
Sutton demands Meera get him the funds or he’ll expose her secrets.
So it’s no wonder that Meera does what she does.
Sutton dies, and Meera’s secrets die with him.
Conveniently, Siya is still on her Cooper-assigned stakeout of Red’s building.
And then she falls asleep during the stakeout.
Red wakes her with a pressed juice and an invitation for breakfast.
She gets the metaphor and asks him for whatever he knows about her mom.
That you were loved.”
She still wants more.
Hey, remember yourfavorite art appraiser Cynthia Mallet(Kate Bornstein)?
She’s back, on edibles, and bringing all of Red’s treasures for his garage sale.
She also lets him know that the specific buyer he was interested in would be stopping by.
“I feel seen, all the way from the third century B.C.,” Cynthia says.
Gurl, me too.
Red gifts the papayri to his loyal art expert.
As always, he knows how to spoil his best employees.
I give it five out of five black fedoras, no notes!
Their next stop is an extremely disturbing doctor’s office in Zurich.
Red is not playing with this horror show.
He pays Wittelsbach but lets him know that someone will be coming to collect the animal posthaste.
It’s all gross, and I’m happy to leave that and head back to the garage sale.
There, a fantastic bargain hunter haggles over the Tiffany lamp.
She clearly doesn’t know what it is, but Red is delighted to settle for $200.
“And what if she never learns its true provenance?”
“What if?”
That is not about lamps, y’all.
Another customer arrives the buyer Red has been expecting.
It dates from 1859, and the last one sold went for $2.6 million.
She just wanted to see it.
Her late husband loved stamps and always wanted to see the Sicilian.
She asks to take a photo, but Red offers to sell it for two.
Not million, thousand.
It’s Nigel Sutton, the man Meera Malik let die.
As per usual, none of this was random.
It’s always orchestrated by Red.
The last garage sale visitors are Agnes and Cooper.
Agnes gets the Pele soccer ball, and Cooper gets the original plans for the USS Constellation.
Red insists he’s just having a little fun.
That seems true, it just doesn’t feel like the whole truth.
The last gift of the day goes to Siya.
