The season-ending episode proved to be a huge game changer for the NBC drama series when it finally confirmed the lingering suspicion that Liz’s (Megan Boone) mom, Katarina Rostova (Laila Robbins) is still alive and living in Paris.
However, her reemergence also showed how deadly she is, when she stabbed Red (James Spader) in the stomach before her henchmen threw him into a van, leaving his fate unknown until the show returns for Season 7.
Fans were left in shock after the heart-pounding ending to the episode, wondering what could possibly happen next.
Raymond: Katarina!

The season finale also featured a mysterious unidentified man who seemed know Red, Katarina, Dominic and Liz and did not reveal his identity during the hour, though he was the one who found Katarina’s location.
Red knew that meeting with Katarina would be a risk but he does it anyway to warn her she isn’t safe. The pair share a passionate kiss, before Katarina stabs him with the syringe before sending him away.
Here am sick every time I think Iโm getting to the bottom of the plot of The Blacklist thereโs another twist…canโt take these mind games anymore

#TheBlacklist @serial Never expected the Season Finale Obviously Red is alive Why would he expose his life like that and what is Katherina into? Guessing it’s worst time ever for Liz bringing back her child Katherina is still an agent & traitor

Season 6 was definitely a return to form for #TheBlacklist ,but I would like to see it wrapped up next season .. I like the actors, I like the show,but it would be a good move to use the season 6 momentum, and finish strong next year. @NBCBlacklist
