- Title: The Blacklist – Dr. Michael Abani
- wiki: link
While foreshadowing the next big trouble for the task force, the final season of The Blacklist offers up a Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq) episode as the love of his life reaches out for help after her fiancé gets into trouble overseas. In yet another episode of the season without a new Blacklister, something even the task force themselves begin to discuss internally, “Dr. Michael Abani” does provide several flashbacks to Dembe’s time with Aissa (played by both Zainab Jah and Sibongile Mlambo) and reminds us what Dembe gave up to serve Reddington (James Spader) all those years ago.
In terms of kicking off the longer arc, we are introduced to Junior Congressman Arthur Hudson (Toby Leonard Moore) investigating the funding going to the task force and pulling a loose string that could eventually lead to problems for everyone involved. Also of note, we also get more of Red and Agnes (Sami Bray), and a shocked Harold (Harry Lennix) who realizes just how sees his relationship with Pinky.
