Case Profile for The Harem
Liz goes undercover with a group of ladies known as The Harem this week to recover a stolen WITSEC list before Red can get his hands on it for himself. Unbeknown to Liz, Red has planted one of his operatives in the Harem as well, a former MI-6 agent known as Emma. Turns out however that Emma wants out from under Red’s thumb and sets a plan in motion to steal the WITSEC list for herself. She also gives Liz a bit of advice about working for Reddington. Speaking of Red, he wishes to continue his empire of the seas by adding some ships to deliver goods to the ports he controls, but it turns out that his money laundering account had a “heart attack” and one Baldur Magnusson bought out the cruise line from under Red’s nose. War has been declared and Red isn’t taking it lightly.
Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: Who has declared war on Red?. Visit our feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278.

Great episode. See you next week!!
Thanks Eric! Looking forward to it!
I don’t think that Emma’s comments to Liz about being ‘star struck’ and feeling special was suppose to inform the viewer that Red is using Liz. I think it was included to shape Liz’s perspective on herself in Reddington’s world, which though it might be true for other women who Red has enlisted in his services, is not the true for Liz. This little conversation points Liz in the wrong direction regarding what she is to Red.
