And for that, we can be thankful.

And hey, we might even have a little power in this dynamic too.

You were never on my side.

But Im done hiding, I wont do it anymore not with Elizabeth asking questions and telling ghost stories.

But Red still wont give Katarina the answers she needs, so she decides to let him bleed out.

Because she still has one other option: Dom.

Luckily, Nurse Mila is less inclined to let the nice man in the suit bleed to death.

The truth is, Mila, youve stumbled into a family squabble, Red tells her.

And the Rostova family can be rather eccentric.

Thats putting it mildly.

And Red would know something about eccentric family dynamics, wouldnt he?

But as it turns out, Mila was never the timid nurse she seemed.

Mila and Reds great escape was all a ruse!

So, between the four of them, they armor up, set explosives, and make a plan.

Gunfire ceases upstairs, and Katarinas footsteps are heard overhead.

1 most wanted criminal!

Mila has some questions aboutthatrelationship later, but for now shes tasked with saving Doms life.

Why is my grandfather dying in a lumberyard?

My question is: What the hell happened?!

You did, Red sneers.

You and Agent Ressler.

Oh, that is r-i-i-i-i-ich, Mr. Reddington.

Red tells Liz that her snooping around and asking questions about Katarina had consequences.

How many times have I asked you to leave it alone?

Now you see what that name will make others do.

NUH UH, NOT ON MY WATCH, REDDINGTON, AND NOT ON COOPERS WATCH EITHER!

Liz tells Red as much while he sits by Doms bedside, not knowing if hell ever regain consciousness.

Im sorry my questions caused this, she tells Red.

But they are questions I deserve answers to.

She tells him that someday when its less dangerous, shes going to insist on getting those answers.

It was all an illusion, created with a gunshot wound prosthetic and something to cover his pulse.

What this means for future illusions remains to be seen.

Has he forgotten that she also savedhislife (even if it was part of a ruse)?

On the plus side: Mila is sticking around for now.

Katarina Rostova is yourrelative, he responds solemnly.

Wereyour family and were not going to let anything happen to you.Coooooop.
