'The Blacklist's' Hunt For Reddington Just Took Its First Casualty Before The Series Finale, And It Hit Me Hard
- 8 months ago
Spoilers ahead for Episode 20 of "The Blacklist" Season 10, called “Arthur Hudson.”
Only days are left before the final credits roll on "The Blacklist" in the 2023 TV schedule, and the show didn’t wait until the super-sized finale to raise the stakes sky-high for the task force. In “Arthur Hudson,” Congressman Hudson used the information he’d gathered thanks to Pritchard to move on Cooper and Co. Reddington was in the wind, however, prompting the attorney general to pull the agents off the bench and start a hunt for their longtime criminal informant. By the end of the hour, the characters experienced their first casualty of the final hunt for Red, and it was rough to watch.
The casualty was none other than Pritchard himself, who was overcome with guilt for tricking Ressler and taking advantage of his trust to bug his phone. He fell off the wagon at the end of the previous week’s episode (which will be available streaming via Peacock Premium subscription), and Ressler got a frantic call from Pritchard’s wife that he was missing and his credit cards were being used at bars. Pritchard was still alive when Ressler found him at a motel, but certainly not alive and well, as his NA sponsor found a stash of alcohol, drugs, and pills.
