(Read on your own risk as there are Blacklist Season 2 spoilers ahead) So we finally know who is behind the door in a basement that Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) keeps on visiting. It is Tom Keen (Ryan Eggold), Liz's ex husband. As you can recall, Tom is not really the female protagonists' life partner. He was one of the enemies who pretended as someone who is into Liz so that he could get information. As for who is working for, we still don't know. In the upcoming episodes of the Blacklist season 2, things will get more difficult for Megan Boone's character. Will she kill Tom or does she still have feelings for him?
According to the latest the Blacklist season 2 episode guide from the Entertainment Weekly, that is the kind of dilemma that Liz will be in. She still cannot answer why she hasn't ended the life of the man who betrayed him and why she's keeping it a secret to Raymond Reddington (James Spader). Quoting Boone, the EW's Natalie Abrams said that it is possible Liz remains in love with Tom.
"She decided to keep Tom alive because it was in a misguided effort to reclaim her dignity and her power," Boone said as per the Entertainment Weekly. "She was so mislead by him. Ultimately, she was made a fool. There will be suggestions in upcoming episodes that she may still have feelings for him, but these are not simple acts of trying to rekindle a romance. She held him prisoner for months and denies him medical care and proper nutrients and everything. This is something much more complicated. It has much more to do with ego than heart."
Now, the question is how long can Liz keep things from Red. As what we've seen in previous the Blacklist episodes, Red already has someone following Elizabeth. Yes, the female FBI agent get to evade her guard by getting a double but knowing Reddington, he's not the type who easily gets fooled.
