Roman’s clues lead the team on a search to stop a nuclear attack.
You see, everything is different now.
Theyre together again because they need to be, but that doesnt mean everything just clicks back into place.

Enemy Bag of Tricks doesnt begin with Weller, Reade, Jane, Patterson, and Zapata though.
Rather, it kicks off with two hunters walking through the woods.
That story is the least of their problems though when they run into a heavily armed mercenary.
He tells them to turn around and go back home, but the hunter wont relent.
He says its his land and that hes going to call the cops.
That doesnt work out so well.
A bunch of other mercenaries pop up and shoot the two hunters dead.
Its a common theme of the episode.
Back at the FBI headquarters, things are a little tense.
Before we get to that though, theres another tattoo to solve.
This isnt one that Patterson cracked though, as with previous cases.
This one is, in fact, ordered by Roman, though of course the team doesnt know that.
If he tries that, everything crumbles.
So, Weller shows up to work with the instruction to solve Perseus.
Weller and Jane linger while Reade walks away.
How do you know this is the right place?
Looks like theyre in the right place.
We also get a better look at who Roman is now, and just how evil he is.
Hes in Sydney, Australia, attending PTSD meetings.
As it turns out, Roman is specifically targeting a man who attends these meetings.
Its truly heartbreaking stuff.
The man mentions that his best friend from his time in the military killed himself.
Eventually, he mentions that the same friend left him millions of dollars.
Why did I tell you that?
he says, to which Roman replies that hes drugged him and that hes going to kill him.
Roman is the least of the FBIs worries at the moment though.
Oh, it gets worse.
Just then Zapata calls Keaton and, surprise, North Korea is prepping a missile launch!
(So much for escapist TV, huh?)
Also in that area is a number of cameras meant to track bear populations.
Again, there are secrets everywhere.
he immediately thinks of Roman and his current situation.
He sees her point, and despite the secrets, they continue to grow closer.
Theres only one problem: He was in the hospital all night.
That means Marcy was the leak and the one working with the North Koreans.
This is all a lot to process.
Much of Enemy Bag of Tricks is fun enough as is, but its also overstuffed with information.
The premiere did a much better job of finding that balance between all-out action and more subtle emotional beats.
Instead, theyll take down the shield on-site, opening up the United States to a nuclear attack.
That leads to a thrilling raid sequence, as the team storms the museum.
As always, they save millions of lives in the nick of time.
That was not fun, says Patterson.
My comms went out.
They can laugh now, but that was a close call.
Reade apologizes for overcompensating with his leadership and not trusting everyone to do their job.
On top of that, Jane and Weller continue to find their romance again.
No, Im talking about when Patterson goes to apologize to Stuart.
She shows up at his apartment and notices that the door is ajar.
When she goes in, gun drawn, she sees that the apartment has been tossed.
She calls out Stuarts name and he doesnt answer.
Then, she walks into his office and finds him dead, seemingly shot to death.
Throughout Enemy Bag of Tricks Stuart was working on solving a tattoo by himself.
Was he close to something and thats why he was killed?
Why was Stuart, of all people, a target?
How will Patterson respond to losing yet another person she worked closely with?
As always,Blindspotleaves us with a number of questions after a shocking cliffhanger ending.
