After being dragged off by a mystery man last episode, she wakes up in what appears to be a very rustic hunting cabin where her cheek has been patched up with some very questionable bandages. Kaplan, The Blacklist’s resident loose end.

No, it seems he was doing some research because his plan is a little bigger: See, he was finding the pipeline’s most vulnerable spot in order to create an explosion with a blast radius that would reach hundreds of nearby homes and schools, a hospital, and… Stone Park nuclear power plant. But after Samar and Ressler chase Gaia through the facility and he manages to escape, they discover he didn’t have any sort of explosives or equipment with him.

Well, harmless, except for the fact that he’s a field inspector for a fracking company, a company that uses a practice that Gaia points out “messes up the water table.” As it turns out, Gaia killed this guy so that he could take his place inspecting the gas line at Borron Energy Services, and the Post Office is assuming it’s to do a little “accidental” damage with fracked gas. So, yeah, this guy isn’t all there, and that becomes abundantly clear when we see him fatally roofie yet another seemingly harmless man at a gas station.
