The duplicitous spy was looking forward to retirement and anonymity in the tropics, but instead, Lizzie's (Megan Boone) ex will come bursting back into the picture as the FBI's latest manhunt explodes across the national news. A suspected terrorist and confirmed murderer, Ms. Keen is in no position to turn down Tom Bond's (Ryan Eggold) criminal expertise.

Tom, however, will take a hard line stance on how he thinks Team Keen should handle The Blacklist's latest predicament. It remains to be seen whether or not Liz will agree with his plan of attack.

"Tom and Liz have almost flipped places," series creator Jon Bokenkamp teased, according to TV Line. "He knew that she had been framed and she was going to clear her name, but he had no idea that she had murdered somebody. When word of that reaches him, he will have a very specific opinion about how to handle the situation."

The Blacklist will return to NBC on Oct. 1, but Eggold's character will not feature until Oct. 8's "Marvin Gerard." Click the video below to see a preview for the premiere, "The Troll Farmer."
