“Gold Rush” is another of those episodes where even when the FBI win a victory over Elena Federova (Morena Baccarin) they still lose. The episode, mainly dealing with the terrorist group’s control of the Federal Reserve, does see Val (Ryan Michelle Bathe) and Doak (Noah Bean) able to work together in the short term to save the country’s gold supply, at least for now. Doak’s moment of not being a corporate-ladder-climbing ass is short-lived, however, as things quickly go back to normal.

The games of Elena Federova (Morena Baccarin) continue as the latest puts Doak (Noah Bean) in danger and in prison Owen Turner (Kamal Angelo Bolden) and Sergey (Costa Ronin) deal with an unforeseen problem. Val (Ryan Michelle Bathe) tracks down one of Federova’s lieutenants, giving her a small win (and also ending the Doak stalemate without any big takedown by Federova). That isn’t the only win, as Val discovers how someone is communicating with Federova inside the black site. Now, can the FBI find a way to use this knowledge to their advantage?

Elena Federova’s (Morena Baccarin) machinations continue as events in one of the banks lead to uncovering a dark secret of a famous journalist and brings more publicity to the incarcerated criminal who continues to have no trouble leading her complicated scheme from behind bars. In terms of reveals, “Bury the Lede” does provide the first meeting between Val Fitzgerald’s (Ryan Michelle Bathe) husband and Elena and her husband when an undercover assignment goes sideways. It also suggests that Elena has been looking for a way to win Val to her side for quite a long time, and that Val may have a very large role to play in Elena’s still yet to come.

The games, and stories, continue in the second episode of NBC’s The Endgame.

For games, Federova’s men kidnap the Secretary of Homeland Security’s son and use evidence from one of the banks to expose her corruption. The show continues the trend of Federova being three-steps ahead of everyone else including Fitzgerald who learns of another connection between the criminal mastermind and her incarcerated husband but still doesn’t know what it means.

Feeling like it was inspired more than a little by The Blacklist, the first episode of NBC’s The Endgame introduces us to a super-criminal (Morena Baccarin) in control of a vast global network who allows herself to be captured the the United States Government to further her own plans and put herself in the path of a single agent (Ryan Michelle Bathe). While the heads of the various agencies are at first smug at the prize they’ve snared, they soon realize who is in a trap when Elena Federova (Baccarin) masterminds a number of bank heists across the city while still under FBI lock up.
