iariaRobert Vesco (No. 9)
+ The lack of any significant reaction from Liz and Ressler to Samar's decision to leave was really off. It was as if they didn't really care, like she was some distant co-worker not their close friend. It especially stands out after that "we're family" plane scene a couple episodes ago. They're family! We didn't even get a scene of Liz and Ressler discussing it. It bothered me a whole lot. I find it inexplicable. The more I think about it the more aggravated I feel.
+ "You wouldn't dare drown my cat." - Vesco
"Maybe not. But I will take the toes." - Red
The threat amused me. But also he absolutely wouldn't dare drowned the cat because meta-textually the writers know that would lose so much audience support, so that part amused me too. Plus Red likes cats.
+ "You're really tall." - Aram. Awww, that was adorable. We went on a roller-coaster with them and I love so much that it didn't end with her breaking up with him but him refusing to let her dump him for 'his own good' because all he wanted was her. I think this was actually the most I have ever liked them.
+ Liz breaking down in laughter after they discovered the gold missing was hilarious. She was having as much fun as Vesco with the situation.
+ The Red/Dembe 'egg on face' picture was cute.
+ Red took Vesco's second betrayal surprisingly well considering how he usually deals with betrayal.
+ Vesco seems rather high on The Blacklist considering how the episode played out.
