The NBC series returned to set on Friday, and the casts' arrival signals the start of the drama's new direction. Following the season 2 finale, Liz's (Megan Boone) entire FBI support system has become a thing of the past. The agents who once kept her safe are now ready to hound her to the ends of the earth...

...and Donald Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) will be the one leading the charge.

Who can blame him, really? Liz may not be a terrorist, but she certainly did kill a man.

"Liz will turn to a very unlikely place in her bid to escape, which enrages Ressler, who is very gung-ho about catching his former partner and will go to great lengths to do so, even if it means putting others in danger," Entertainment Weekly reported on Friday. "Twist: Ressler will be forced to save Liz during her escape."

Well, at least Ressler still cares for his partner deep down. Deep, deep down.

The Blacklist will return to NBC on Sept. 24 at 9 p.m. ET. Check out the clip below to see a teaser for the season 2 finale.
