And yet, there's no un-ringing this Reddington bell | Or as he tells Reddington when he informs him the deal is off: "Bottom line — I'm more scared of him than I am of you |

Reddington says he keeps Liz in the dark to protect her, but if he just keeps saying "I told you so" without ever telling her why she's in danger, Liz will never understand his secretiveness as protection—she'll just see that he doesn't respect her | Because toddlers are hardwired to push limits and explore boundaries, and you only have to spend a few minutes with one to know that "why" is their favorite question |
As Reddington is insisting to Cooper that nothing the FBI can do through their legal pipelines will be enough to protect Liz from Townsend, that convoy is, indeed, infiltrated by Townsend's men.
23But here's the thing: Liz isn't a toddler | Also hoping they make it out of this alive! It's not great, but it's not enough to make him a Reddington-level threat |

And I love you for that | When Liz opens Ressler's shirt to tend to his wound in an abandoned building, I briefly thought things might get sexy, but instead, they just got… squishy |
Because Ressler knows that Reddington is the only one who can get them out of this mess — and Liz knows it too.
3"I live in a world where people aren't who they seem to be, and it's hard to know what who to believe," Liz tells him | But when Ressler hands the phone over to Liz…it's Reddington on the other end of the line |

So Liz reminds him that it's not exactly saving her when he's the reason someone wants her dead | And they're both sort of right |
" Now that's not something you hear everyday on The Blacklist.
