The revelation is unexpected, and thus packs a certain emotional punch. As it turns out, Red put all those blocked memories in place, so that he could take on the role of a "sin-eater" and absolve Liz for shooting her abusive father. The big reveal that comes from Liz remembering the night her father died essentially refutes the notion that she's Red's daughter, by making her responsible for the death she's been trying so hard to recall.

Needless to say, with all the promos for the finale suggesting a revelation of sorts, there was a kind of heightened expectation that the end of season 2 would either deliver on its promises, or it would perform one heck of an up-and-back that would settle things nicely into a familiar status quo.Īs such, it's nice to see that while 'Masha Rostova' didn't exactly deliver the kind of bombshell the series had been teasing (with regard to Liz and Red's relationship), it didn't exactly shy away from it either. With Liz and Red hot on the trail of the Cabal, and Tom/Jacob ready to become Liz's sidekick in her quest to find out the truth about her past, things were lining up rather nicely.īut the series has been here before, and it has managed to reverse course or to stall in the kind of fashion you would expect from a show that has one story to tell, but desperately wants to do that over the course of seven or eight seasons. The series seemed poised to confront the biggest problems facing its unnecessarily complicated narrative, and to streamline the story in such a way that better defined where it was headed and why.
