The Blacklist season 8 episode 3: Did Liz try to kill Reddington?
The Blacklist
From the start, it was clear that 16 Ounces was insane. Liz first tried to go to Cooper to get his help on bringing in Reddington and when he said no, she sprung a plan into action to try and kill him. Not only that, but she tried to do twice.

Lizs first attempt came courtesy of a car door planted with an explosive, which she tried to use at a makeshift memorial for Dom. When that failed, she took advantage of Reddingtons health emergency to create a trap for him at the hospital even going so far as to use Essie as a pawn in her larger plot. Both showed a violent, determined side to the character its not a surprise that Liz is capable of murder, but taking out Reddington is another issue altogether. Gone are the notions of whether or not she wants answers; now, its all about vengeance. He killed her mother, so she wants to kill him in turn.
Is Katarina, or at least the woman who died, really her mother? Thats another question, and not one that we have an answer to right now. Ultimately, this episode wasnt so much about answers it was instead a device to push Liz further away from the Task Force. Her hospital bomb almost killed Reddington and Ressler both they survived, but clearly things will be different. Aram is burned potentially for good as she took advantage of him, and Cooper? Reddington wants to use him to push Liz up to the top of the Blacklist. Maybe this is the protect himself but maybe its also to protect her. It was telling tonight, the reminder that Reddington would never kill her even if, clearly, she does not feel the same for him.
