(NBC/Facebook)

"The Blacklist" saw Red flirting with immortality in the show's last episode. In the latest one, fans will finally see Red and Liz track down a female blacklister.

TVGuide reports that a proactive female doubles up as a frame-up artist and frequently targets the elite. The title of the episode "Vanessa Cruz" reveals the daring damsel's name.

While the episode will see Cruz baiting wealthy men, much of the real focus in the story will be Tom Keene. In the last few episodes, Red was seen hunting Tom all the way to Germany in order to get him to Washington and prove Liz's innocence. She was the main suspect in the harbormaster's murder that was actually committed by Tom. Has his gesture of sacrifice made any difference to way Liz feels about him?

In a promotional clip of episode 18, viewers can see Keene asking for Liz's help to leave Washington as many of his enemies are after him. But Tom just doesn't ask for help, he asks for a chance to start over. Tom is seen saying, "I didn't know where else to go" and Liz is also seen saying, "Tom, our entire marriage, it couldn't have all been pretend". The couple kiss which implies that the two may have made up their differences.

However, Fashion & Style reveal that Red isn't too happy with Tom's appearance. The promotional clip shows Red pointing a gun at Tom and forcing Liz to choose. Now, the agent must choose between a man she loves and one who protects her. It definitely won't be an easy choice to make and will assuredly lead to repercussions in both relationships.

Red will also pressure Liz to give the fulcrum, claiming that now it is a matter of life and death. Watch "The Blacklist" on Thursdays at 9 p.m. on NBC.
