30 Day Blacklist Challenge: Day 24 (Paternity Result Theories)

Day #24 Share a theory or prediction on what you believe will happen in the upcoming episodes of The Blacklist.

Oooo Lord this is a tough one because there’s so many directions the show could take at this point.  I’ll share 2 theories that I hope ARE the case:

1)  Tom Keen is actually a major badass and not the boring, ever-so-perfect husband that he’s being portrayed as (or trying to portray?)  Whether this means major badass for the good or the bad guys doesn’t matter to me, just that there is SOMETHING else behind his veil by way of badassery.

2)  Red is NOT Lizzie’s father.  This is controversial opinion and there’s a part of me that really wants him to be, however I think Red being her dad would have been a REALLY awesome idea IF AND ONLY IF the writers hadn’t spent every single episode so far trying to make the viewers suspect that he is.  If it turns out that he is, it will seem anti-climactic now and would go against so much of how the show is written, shrouded in mystery.  I’ve described it as the attempts at making us believe he’s her father HAVE to be on purpose - they have made it seem TOO obvious now that this is the case for it really to be the case.

P.S. I’ve also toyed with the theory that Ressler is related to Red (which were only amplified when it was discovered they share the same very-rare blood type) and I’m not entirely sure how I’d feel about it, would depend on all the variables surrounding and following it, I suppose.
