iariaKings of the Highway (No. 108)
+ I loved that we got Liz working to save Red. I want more plots with that happening. I liked how well she did in figuring out what happened to him, her taking down Jasper and how she said "Where is my friend?!" I loved how intense she was about finding him.
+ I loved Dembe sacrificing his freedom in order to give Liz a chance to get away.
+ I like that Liz [and Dembe] weren't really caught through any fault of their own but rather because of the incompatence of others.
+ Aram telling Ressler the truth was an interesting turn. Clearly he felt betrayed and I feel like it was Samar touching his hand while thanking him that tipped him over the edge. It appears that he acted out of impulsive anger and then regretted it once the consequences set in. I actually don't mind this little character twist. It's really not something I would have seen Aram doing but I think it adds some interesting dimension to him. I do love him making absolutely sure that there was a good plan to protect Liz after capture before saying anything. That is very him.
+ I loved how matter-of-fact Samar was when Ressler confronted her. She wasn't apologetic at all and I liked that because she thinks she's doing the right thing too. I'm betting, and hoping, that she ends up teaming up with Red in the next episode.
+ I enjoyed Red's interactions with the Kings and how much control he kept during his kidnapping. Red is never completely helpless.
+ Okay, but seriously, how the hell did the Kings manage to catch Red so unaware that they managed to kidnap him without anyone noticing?
+ Poor Reven. I'm going to guess that her last words 'Tommy Markin' are going to be instrumental in uncovering Hitchens connection to her disappearance/death and thus her connection to the Cabal. Possibly via Hitchens doing some research into the name, Aram coming across it and mentioning it randomly to Ressler which in turn makes him suspicious. Or at least something like that. I would love if Reven ends up being the person to take down her killer.
