Yes I watched The Kaplan Episode.
Daniel Cerone in my opinion is one of the best character writers in the bizâŠ. I loved Kate Kaplan as a character. But I donât feel she shouldâve been the baddie. And I resent Red shooting her because in my opinion he never would have. He abhorred violence. In Marvin Gerard, spousal abuse crossed the line. So now Kate is a survivor but sheâs a bad person?
It does not compute. Itâs a heartbreaking twist that will lead Kaplan to join Annie at last. And for what?
To give Tom a story. It is unforgivable to lie to your audience. Itâs worse to have others do damage control inyour place because you canât admit you lied to your viewers.
So, be that as it may..,Iâm being asked about Red/Katarina Is he The Dad?
âThe Appearance of Truthâ is the theme and itâs a cop out. When it comes down to canon these writers are stingy. (Basically because they cannot agree on soul creative rights and Sony wants money off it.) Do they make it up as they go along? Yes. A lot of us do, but most show runners have the arc completed before, even next season halfway complete. This season they had no arc, and it shows through execution, lack of continuity, imbalance to character screen time, overabundance of cheap marketing, it goes on and on.
What you watched last night was a culmination of season 3âs Knauf arc infused into season 4.
If you recall in the Vehm by Vincent Angelli:
âIâm a bad man. I kill people. And every time I do, a piece of me dies with them.â
âI always wanted to be a boyscout.â
Recall those hints? Dembe saying, âthatâs enoughâ
Well thatâs what youâre seeing now. Everyone question Raymond, even the task force.â
âDonât fret Harold. Iâll be the declarer you be the dummy and together weâll win the hand.â
Well last season Cooper, Aram, Ressler, and Samar were tired of being the âdummy.â
âJust because youâve been bumped up to first chair in an orchestra doesnât mean you can compose a symphony.â
Last season Ressler *was* the mastermind of who betrayed Red and why. Red knew in Dawn Denoon he could not search and do a moral inventory of himself without Donald.
This Season? Oh it was âTomâ
I loathe agenda driven behind the scenes back stabbing garbage. Professional sets do not engage in such foolery but this circus reallyâŠ
This is no different they just changed Kaplan to the bad blacklister because they did not have one. I think itâs a mistake personally, because the hype on turning victim Kaplan into the baddest of the bad scorned means last season when they had her betray Red, according to Ryan Eggold who said Bokenkamp boasted, âit was Tomâs plan., is just deceptive.
No it was originally Resslerâs plan with a happy ending at S3 with Red leaving the task force and Liz life to let her have that normal life. Then all hell breaks loose. Instead, they fractured an intelligent plot, dumbed down every character and then in Season 4 never gave them a voice to express their betrayal. Its why Diego has had no storyline for 15 months, and probably, is on his last five weeks unless viewers donât speak up. This show will change things on a dime. They did last season. They did in Season 2. They did in Season 1.
The only character that deserves to die after this fallout are Tom, Kaplan, and Hitchin.
The rest is about cutting the budget and supplying serious shockudrama to get the ratings up, go into a new directionâŠ. and add two new Sony actors to the showâŠ
"Why because I didnât get Daddyâs permission?â
âYes, Elizabeth is my daughter.â
Sheâs his daughter, but heâs not her father.
Do we get this play on words?
When Katarina gave birth, she never got a paternity test. She only knew one thing she loved Masha so âthe truth doesnât matter. It is the appearance of truthâ that does.
Bokenkamp said last season âis it safe to assume Tom is the father of Liz baby?â
âI donât think itâs safe to assume that I think itâs good to anticipate that.â
Yes so what is it that Liz said in the Vehm?
âI assume Tom is the father.â
âI havenât told him.â
Liz has never said if Tom *is* and with Meganâs hint about Liz being unfaithful, that connects to Eli Matchett in S3 and itâs not Nick. So, now we see her mother fogging up the windows in the back of a car withâŠ.Raymond.
In Philomena you will see two forbidden lovers fogging up the windows kissing inna parked car.
In the Apothecary, the theme (donât you guys read the transcripts?) is Marriage, betrayal, the appearance of truth and infidelity.
Escaping to motels, and celebrating anniversaries and birthdays. Raising a family from prison.
In Natalie Luca you had forbidden love-the most romantic scene Samar ever seen. Watching the person you love die in your arms. They fell for each other at work, talk about forbidden love. It even explains how they could love each other without touchingâŠ.
Significant to Liz life and her parents.đđ»
Kirk was her husband. He was out of town a lot. On business. While he was away, Katarina wasnât faithful. She was having sex with other men.
Mainly, âthe American.â He was her mark, but their affair did not stop afterward it kept going.
But the paternity is down to three men. Two Americans, and Kirk. Both Red and Kat knew Sam. He was a grifter, a criminal trying to get his life straight.
âMy real father was a criminal.â Her mother died from weakness and shame.
âEverything about me is a lie.â
âCriminals are notorious liars.â
âYou will always be her father Sam.â
âNo your father is dead.â
âAnd I know what happened that night to my father. I shot him.â
âThatâs why you erased my memory. Youâre my sin eater.â
Right here the story shouldâve shifted. Liz trust for Red shouldâve grown not regressed.
âI never wanted you [Beat] to grow up like me.â
âI donât know Kate I never found out.â
âItâs Raymond. He took Masha because he thinks sheâs his.â
âYour mother was ever the same after that. The man she loved killed by the child she adored it was too much.â
âSo I killed both of my parents.â
âYou were a child. None of this was you fault. There never shouldâve been a gun around for you to grab.â
âI ran out of gas.â-Madeline Pratt
Katarina and Kaplan left the Summer Palace for America after Masha. Because Red took her.
But Liz lives in Summer Palace again because sheâs young in the yard with her mother in Mato.
Ressler and Red are the only men that have been to Summer Palace.
Liz will go back in these final episodes.
âYour parents loved each other very much. The Cold War was hardâ too hard for your father. When the Soviet Union was collapsing, he took you from her. She gave up everything to follow him, to follow you.â
âThe night of the fireâ thatâs what they were arguing about?â
Nope it was the fulcrum. Liz lived in Summer Palace when she wasnât a baby because the night of the fire is five years into the future.
Red was married, had Carla and Jennifer. And Liz. Red took Liz as an infant.
Katarina gets Masha to Kaplan night of the fire because of âthe dead man on the floor.â Sheâs looking for a new place for them to live.
A week later she canât go home she calls from a payphone. She wants Kaplan to give Masha up to Sam.
Go back to Cape May: the arson Katarina had. The dead man on the floor.
âHeâs coming.â
âWhoâs coming.â?
US intelligence and KGB. They know about her affair with Raymond.
âYour mother, despite what heâd done, she wanted him back. She wanted them to be a family. As much as it pains me to say it, he was probably⊠the only man she ever really loved.â
âIt was an accident.â
Liz accidentally shot âthe bad man.â
âYouâre a monster.â
âHow can you live with yourself?â
âBy saving your life.â
Katarina and Red at that point were enemies. He wanted the fulcrum he needed it to blackmail US intelligence so to leave them alone otherwise theyâd kill him and her. Itâs why he sold secrets to North Korea and Soviet Union:
Katarina set the fire. But it was Red who pulled Liz from the flames.
âTell me. I need to know. Your mother was never the same after that. The man she loved killed by the child she adoredâ it was⊠just too much. Two months later, she went to Cape May and left her clothes on the beach, walked into the ocean, and was never seen again.â
âSo, that night, I killed both my parents.â
âYou were a child. There should never have been a gun for you to grab. Looking back, Iâm not sure I shouldnât have raised you myself. I donât want you looking back with that kind of regret.â
Now lizâ regret is coming.
But focus on the man Liz shot. The scars on Redâs back. He and his family were to die in that fire.
âThere was so much blood.â
His family. Carla and Jennifer are in WITSEC
Red was gone all this time recuperating. Where he was is the next leg of the mystery. He knew after stealing secrets, he was safer dead than alive. So you have him blackmailing, building an organized criminal empire for 25 years through Russian Oligarchs, collapse of Soviet Union, the cartels-burning down the earth in order to one day walk back into her life but this time with ammunition to protect her.
In the farmer parable Red explains when he comes home from work one dayâŠcrops are burned, his children gone, âit is now he who burns, he who slaughters, and in the end he knows that he must pay.â
He also mentions children. Two.
Red wasnât a good man. He had affairs on Carla, abandoned his other daughter to appease Liz, and keep her safe. He wanted to raise her but if it got out about who she is, who her âfather is,â the danger was too immense. To protect Jennifer and Carla he abandons them and turns the other way.
In Mako Tanida, Red warns Ressler to stay in the light, âgo home!â Red didnât after the fire. He wanted revenge and Justice. He became a criminal. Stole secrets betrayed his country.
What is Ressler about to do?
Hitchin cannot be arrested, she runs the courts. She will pay off judges. So now Ressler like Red knows, once he crosses over, thereâs no turning back.
Back to Liz and why the mystery s being revealed aside from the fact that they dismantled a fine piece of television just to do a spin off nobody wanted for a character audience feels is worse than Mr. Kaplan because he hurt Liz the most.
That logic right there doesnât make any sense.
Liz is the target because of who and what she saw happen in that house. The Fulcrum was only part of the story. Who wanted it besides Red and Katarina *Is* the story. Red wanted to know what happened the night of the fire. Diane Fowler knew. Fitch knew. The Director knew.
âI know who you really are, Raymond. Who you are to her. And I know why you did this. Does she?â
âI know what happened, that night, Red. To your family.â Mr. Kaplan cleaned up Diane Fowler. Her body is about to be revealedâŠthe task force has no idea about this.
Legally, no. Her father is dead. âYou will always be her father Sam.â
But yes, Elizabeth is his daughter.
He had no legal claim to her when she was a child. She was Kirkâs.
Now: liz and Katarina are similar.
Both are known to be unfaithful. Liz was seeing someone when she first met Tom. Liz was also seeing someone after Tom re entered her life in S2.
âHe worked, I didnât.â
âHow did that work out for ya?â
Liz too, is keeping a secret. Like her mother.
And Kaplan knows. Itâs why she can gain access to Liz apartment. She knows everything.
Hold on to this because Iâm not doing another.
Red believed Liz was his child. Red wanted Liz to be his child. Red loves Liz like a father. Red fell in love with her mother a Russian sleeper agent. Red had a longtime affair with Katarina.
You cannot do Red/Liz in the romantic sense after that. Period.
Even if he turns out Red to *not* be her bio dad-It never mattered to Raymond. He loved Liz that much. In his mind, âyou will always be her father Sam.â
But Yes, Elizabeth is his daughter.
