The Beat Goes On
Hitchcoc20 November 2022
Mr. Kaplan has indeed been busy. So she has been able to 86 bodies on the ice in a hockey arena, all victims in some way of Reddington. We have Philomena, who is herself psychotic, but who gives her aid in the process. A guy who used to be a detective on Cold Case is an old friend of Don's. He is determined, cocky, and brash. Don is caught between a rock and a hard place because he knows that his agency is closer to Reddington than he lets on. Don admires him, but he is bit of a loose cannon. Don isn't thinking much about how is friends are going to be affected by this guy. Kaplan is moving out for a while. Should be fun.

Where has Mr. Kaplan been for all the prior episodes?
theteamtracy9 May 2017
Where has she been? I missed her. She has been such an integral part of the series. Why the void? Was it intentional with the writers? Was there a medical issue? Please let me know. I'm intrigued. Thanks to any Sherlock out there. At least point me in the right direction. I'm happy she's back. A very well played character. Thanks.

Susan Blommaert as "Mr. Kaplan" ...
KenyaOne28 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The last several episodes of The Blacklist have finally showcased Susan Blommaert as the character of "Mr. Kaplan." I say kudos to the producers and writers for teaming up to create the most interesting backstory ever on The Blacklist. I've long wondered about this character and finally something that far too many TV series avoid: ANSWERS! Thank you.

SPOILERS NOW: It seems a bit last minute but perhaps The Blacklist saved the best for last. They decisively divulge that Katarina Rostova had hired (years ago) the prior incarnation of Mr Kaplan to be the incredibly capable nanny for her baby, who then grows up to be Elizabeth Keene. Furthermore, Raymond's compulsion derive from that Katarina really did never tell him if he was Liz's father. And now we see the reason why Kaplan is more devoted to Liz than to Raymond. The whole story comes together at last with these episodes and promises to come to the most exciting conclusions in episodic TV history.

Before these episodes, many had been growing a bit weary with the criminal du jour formula of The Blacklist. But these episodes are the most intricately told and capably acted yet. They are the Big Reveal and the big payoff for being a fan of the series. They show who everyone really is in this intrigue. My only regret is the audience hadn't previously been delighted with the true talent of Susan Blommaert. So tune in for a genuine entertainment treat.

Stupid !!

Warning: Spoilers
86 Bodies, "she has been busy" Seriously 86 how many people did she have digging them up. Take them out the coffin's get them to a ice rink. I mean COME ON. I love this series and the 1st 2 seasons was Amazing then halfway though the 3rd it started to go off the rails a wee bit. And its got worse and worse. I mean 86 Bodies, it's now turned into a comedy.
