More than two years have passed since the fateful night when Liz Keen was shot in the back by Vandyke while trying to kill Red. And it wasn’t until the most recent episodes of The Blacklis season 9 that the man who protected her for many years is searching for answers that will lead him to the killer.
In season 9 of The Blacklist things are heating up. Red continues to investigate what is behind Liz’s death, after recently exhuming her body and finding a tracer in her stomach. A device with which Vandyke was no doubt able to trace her whereabouts the night he killed her.

In this installment of The Blacklist that aired on Friday, April 8, Red announced that Andrew Kennison is the next name on the blacklist, while Dembe Zuma (Hisham Tawfiq) and Donald Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) continue to investigate, and are they realize that it is Cooper who has the man they are looking for under protection. It was here that the FBI Task Force wondered if Lennix’s character had any connection to Liz’s death.
