Before we get to the (kinda sad!)
Blacklister of the week and the (definitely sad!)
The sister of Red’s former confidant, healer, and lover Mierce Xiu?

The only bodyguard who ever came close to Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq)?
Yes, that was a subtweet about Chuck.
Mierce was done with Red’s obsession aboutLiz’s death, and he took both sisters home to Cuba.

Did I expect to see Weecha?
Did I expect to see them share a long, passionate kiss?!
Reader, I did not.
Okay, okay, we can get back to the rest of the episode now.
Alas, we quickly learn that there is no kidnapper.
Okello, whose real name is Kel, is an ex-con who works for a dowry scam.
He was recruited by Jemma Parikh (Anjali Bhimani), the office manager for the parole office.
Yes, this Blacklister broke the cardinal rule of criminality: one last job.
It’ll get you every time!
Herbie tracks financials to arrest the scam grooms and set up a sting to arrest Parikh.
She’s a thief who hurts people the way she was hurt.
While the team takes care of business, Malik is dealing with family issues.
Regina is delighted to meet Meera Malik’s daughter and tells her about Nigel’s death.
Saint also mentions another case Nigel and Meera worked in Kolkata, and Malik takes note.
“She picked up that baby and ran,” Red tells her.
“She ran all the way to London and never let go.”
Red tells her about Meera’s choice in Nigel’s death, predictably sympathetic to another very protective parent.
I warned you from the beginning!
It was very sad!
