The Blacklist Season 9 Episode 1 Recap
The ninth season premiere, titled ‘The Skinner,’ picks up roughly two years after Liz’s death. The FBI task force has disbanded, and Red has become a recluse living in Havana. Cooper is the legal guardian for Agnes while Dembe investigates a criminal syndicate that steals advanced microchips. During a meet-up with members of the syndicate, an explosion kills Dembe’s partner while he himself is hospitalized.
Dembe believes that Red can help catch the syndicate’s leader but does not have his contact, so he seeks help from Cooper to get in touch with him. Red informs Dembe that the person he is trying to catch is “The Skinner,” which is just a moniker passed on among the syndicate’s leaders. Red admits that he has no knowledge of the current leader’s identity. He refuses to help Dembe catch The Skinner but does return from his self-imposed exile to help identify the culprit.
Dembe assembles the rest of the gang, with Cooper, Alina, Aram, and Ressler agreeing to help. Red departs for Havana once again, but Ressler pays him a surprise visit. Despite resenting Red for Liz’s death, Ressler admits that The Blacklist could use Red’s help. He urges Red to return as a means to honor Liz, who poured her soul into The Blacklist. Red contemplates returning while studying the file on the current Skinner, which Ressler leaves for him.
