What happened so far in ‘The Blacklist’ Season 9?

So far in The Blacklist Season 9, the FBI task force has been brought back together to hunt down blacklisters in Liz Keen’s memory. Fans learned that Liz’s daughter Agnes Keen has been living with Harold Cooper and his wife. They were also introduced to Red’s new companions, Mierce and Weecha Xui.

Things began to heat up as the season went on. Cooper unravels a dark mystery when the man his wife had an affair with turns up dead. Cooper has no memory of the night it happened and finds a round missing from his service weapon.

The Blacklist Season 9 also introduced Alina Park’s husband Peter. Park has been keeping the fact that she rejoined the task force a secret, but Peter learned the truth after she had a miscarriage in episode 5. Ressler dealt with addiction again at the beginning of the season, though he seems better now. Season 9 has also shown Red and Dembe at odds, now that Dembe is an FBI agent.
