Kirk and Red are sworn enemies and both are engrossed to throw dirt at each other just to prove their innocence and clear intention on approaching Liz. But to whom will the lady protagonist devote her trust if both claims to be her father and each has stories to tell?
Is it to Kirk-the man who kidnapped Liz identifying himself to be her father and trying to convince her that it is Red whom she should be cautious of? How could she trust a man who claims to know every bit of her flesh but who purposely abducted her for reasons unknown to both viewers and Liz?
Or is it to Red-Liz's superman who saved her multiple times but mysteriously hides multiple secrets from her? Although trusting Red may cause her a lot of effort because after he learned of her fake death and her close contact with Kirk, she has to convince that she is not another spy of Kirk and that she can be trusted.
Fans speculated that Kirk may just be the ultimate bad guy in the next season but this was easily contradicted by Executive Producer of "The Blacklist" John Eisendrath. In his statement given to Entertainment Weekly, the EP gave out vague details that Kirk may not be the big villain to look forward to in "The Blacklist" Season 4.
Does this mean that fans should not crash out Red from the list of bad-guys-to-be? Will Kirk turn out to be just a father who longs to meet and help his daughter? And what will be the consequences Liz has to face after everybody learns about her death ploy? This is the ultimate cliffhanger that makes fans probing for more juicy details.
Truly, Liz is caught on a big loop between Red and Kirk with a lot of issue on who can trust who. Is there anyone who will not move mountains just to watch the show unveil answers to these mysteries?
"The Blacklist" Season 4 premieres on Sept. 22 on NBC.
