Elizabeth Keen finally returns to our screens to share her side of the story.
So where does that leave us with our two players, Raymond Reddington and Elizabeth Keen?
How could either of these people possibly win when it comes to the other?

If this episode makes anything clear, it’s that they have countless ways to lose, especially Elizabeth.
She’s seeing thingsseeingsomeone, to be exact.
MISERE
All good?
The woman is Mrs. French, alleged wife ofMr.
French, alleged “guardian angel” of Liz’s mother.
It’s where she devises her master plan, recapped above.
And it’s where she returns when said master plan fails to get any answers out of Reddington.
“Every mother does!”
Mrs. French exclaims, Frenchily.
“The love for her child, isn’t that what savedyou?
Didn’t you tell me your mother gave up everything foryou?
Don’t you thinkyoushould pay that forward?”
And, like, maybe some of that is true.
But I don’t enjoy seeing Dembe tricked!
Of course, we already know how that goes.
This is where Townsend and Liz decidedly part ways in their pursuit of Reddington.
“You’re right,” she tells him.
From the passenger seat, Mr. Kaplan gives her a sly smile.
And even though Anne doesn’t tell her anything, Liz finds out soon enough.
“Maybe he will now,as a deathbed confession!”
Boom, Liz turns the gun on Red!
And then,bigger boomAnne lunges at Liz to prevent her from shooting Red!
Red’s only thought, his only concern, is for the woman he loves.
Mr. Kaplan tells Liz to pull the trigger, not to hesitate: “Reddington wouldn’t.”
So it seems like Mrs. French was right after all: Lovedidwin.
Or at the very least, it wasn’t a total misere game.
