The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 1 Recap: The Night Owl

Aram spots Redington in New York at The Met and calls him, but he doesn't respond.

He calls Harold, who reveals Raymond has been on a six-month sabbatical. As they speak, an explosion occurs.

Harold calls Dembe and informs him of the new development. He decides to go to the post office to look into it with Dembe.

Ressler opens up to his NA group. Dembe picks him up outside.

Dembe and Ressler go to the explosion site and learn that the building belongs to the Chinese government. The consular deny them access, but they enter anyway.

They find the body of a woman.

The consular calls Wujing and tells him of the developments.

At the post office, the remaining members learn that the dead woman is a former Blacklister.

Dembe reaches out to an associate of Raymond, who reveals they have yet to see or hear from him.

The team replaces Aram with Tadashi since they need a new IT guy. Dembe has to convince his mother, though.

The consulate files a motion to prevent the FBI from checking out the laptop. The judge hears the motion and stops them from doing anything.

Tadashi recovers a fraction of the files.

The team learns that Jennifer was looking to steal a sculpture called The Night Owl for the Chinese government.

While chasing down leads on the sculpture, Dembe and Ressler meet Meera's daughter, Siya.

They are taken to a secret CIA site where they learn that Siya is MI6 and everyone else is CIA. They know The Night Owl is a codename for a former Blacklister called The Freelancer.

Raymond searches for a new apartment.

After Keen had him released, The Freelancer was used to commit a crime disguised as a mass accident.

He reveals he doesn't know why Jennifer is looking for him.

Wujing attacks the CIA black site looking for The Freelancer. A gunfight ensues, and Dembe and Ressler realize there must have been an inside man in the CIA.

The Freelancer makes it out, while Dembe, Ressler, and Siya barely make it out alive.

Raymond visits the Post Office and discusses the new developments where former Blacklisters have united to hunt him with the crew.

Siya meets with Harold and reveals that he had made a huge impression on her, which was why she joined law enforcement. She begs to join the task force to learn more about her mother.

Wujing and The Freelancer meet.
