Many fans believe that Red is actually Liz's biological mother, Katarina Rostova. The theory explains that Katarina underwent facial reconstructive surgery and other operations to assume this new identity. This way, Katarina could protect Liz from afar without putting her in danger.Nov 15, 2021

For Elizabeth Keen, her memory is a big empty space: Its potential is limitless if only she could access it.

It's time to get Liz's side of the story. This season on The Blacklist, Elizabeth Keen ( Megan Boone) put down her FBI badge and has been waging war against Reddington ( James Spader) for killing her mother.
"They all died because either they knew the secret Red didn't want Liz to find out or they were investigating the secret, " Bokenkamp says. When Liz puts it together and sees how many important people he's taken from her, all because he doesn't want to reveal the truth, it's a harrowing realization.
In the pilot episode, Reddington asks Liz about the scar on her hand, which is revealed to be from a traumatic childhood event, and that's a tangible example of the pieces of Liz's life that she doesn't have.
Katarina's entry into Liz's life changed her and The Blacklist. Her methods aside ( like pretending to be Liz's neighbor), the mother and daughter formed a bond and decided to work together to uncover the truth. Not only was watching Red kill Katarina devastating, but it was also a defining moment in terms of Liz's assessment of Red, according to the EPs. Liz has tried to figure out if there's good in Red or what his being in her life means, but this one event moved her past it. "It's a complete break, and it shattered any illusions [Liz] might have harbored about where Reddington's allegiance lies," Eisendrath says.
The murder of Attorney General Tom Connolly (Reed Birney) was more about Liz than it was about her executing him. "It reflected to the audience about how far Liz is willing to go," Bokenkamp says. "That murder is very telling of who she was, and perhaps even who she was in the process of becoming." It gets at the core of a debate the writers have had for years, which is whether she's destined to embrace her darkness or it's free will that she chooses to do these things. Liz's desperate action was not just a considerable character turn, but it sent her on the road with Reddington. Spending time with him meant seeing that she was more like him than she wanted to admit.
Liz's landing on the top of the Blacklist is an exciting change for the show. All that time spent by Red's side means Agent Keen has watched how he operates. "You get to see what she has learned from Reddington about how to be a bad guy and how to operate in the criminal world," Eisendrath says. "So part of the fun is to see the pupil mimicking the master trying to become someone who can compete with him."
Connolly and Cooper, 11 years after getting a confession from him, observe as Alan Ray Rifkin is executed for his crimes in Afghanistan. After the execution is over, both men agree that, while they did the right thing getting him to confess, they didn't do it the right way. Connolly asks Cooper about the special task force at the Post Office he's heard about, saying it's gained the interest of many important people in Washington. He wants to know about the “secret weapon” his friend is using to catch so many high-priority criminals. Cooper dodges the question. Laughing, Connolly tells his friend that when he becomes Attorney General, and he gets Harold confirmed as Director of the FBI, he'll want to know all about it.
Connolly went on to become a prominent member of the US Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., and stayed good friends with Harold Cooper over the years.
During the events revolving around Justin Kenyon and a bomb plot, Connolly visits Cooper at the Post Office, telling him that he is about to be confirmed as the next Attorney General of the United States. He wants Cooper to join him in the administration as Director of the FBI. Cooper, though very thankful, declines. Saying he won't take “no” for an answer, Connolly asks why Cooper won't take the job. Cooper tells his friend about his serious health issues (it is implied to be some sort of cancer) and that the prognosis is quite bad. He also tells him about the trial group he had recently been declined for, and how it was pretty much his only hope. Obviously saddened by this news, Connolly leaves, still insisting that Cooper will take the job.
Connolly is revealed to be a new member the Cabal. Peter Kotsiopulos states that betraying Cooper was the price of a “seat at the table”. Connolly is visibly shaken by having to betray his friend, and seems to be wondering if his new position is really worth the cost it demands.
After his friend, Harold Cooper has a seizure and is hospitalized, Connolly hears about Elizabeth Keen's impending indictment for the murder of harbour master Eugene Ames from Reven Wright. Having been briefed about the task force and Reddington due to his upcoming appointment as Attorney General, Connolly is aware of all the good work Cooper and his agents have done bringing the people on the Blacklist to justice. Connolly immediately sets out to save Keen, as well as Cooper, from any criminal charges. He threatens Richard Denner, the judge in charge of the case, with arrest unless Denner ends the inquiry, as the judge had used his position to learn a great deal about the task force and about Raymond Reddington. Since everything he learned was classified and Denner had no authority or clearance to ask the questions he had asked, Connolly told him to drop the case, or he would have Denner arrested for compromising national security, as well as make sure his career would be destroyed in the process. Denner drops the case, but makes it clear to the court that federal abuses of power are a threat to the constitution.
