Recap / The Blacklist S 1 E 17 Ivan

Go To

Directed by Randy Zisk

Written by JR Orci & Amanda Kate Shuman

Ivan (No. 88) provides examples of:


  • Chekhov's Gun: The Uncle Flippo toy that Liz gives Tom: at the end of the episode, she finds it among the evidence from his and Jolene's observation base, thus finally proving to her that Tom is a spy.
  • Idiot Ball: Abby Fisher, in the middle of a city-wide blackout, decides to leave home without telling anyone, on the word of who she believes is her best friend, who suddenly begins to demonstrate heretofore-unknown-to-her hacking abilities by lighting a set of specific streetlights without a problem. Of course, it turns out to be someone who is an actual hacker.
  • Techno Wizard: High school student Harrison Lee, a teenaged hacker who framed Russian cybercriminal Ivan by using his alias.
  • Teens Are Monsters: The Skeleton Key was stolen not by Ivan, but by Harrison Lee, a 17-year-old boy who was stalking the daughter of one of the Key's makers.
