BLINDSPOT Review: Weller = MacGyver in “Older Cutthroat Canyon”

Oscar Knows More than he’s Telling

Tonight’s episode was non-stop action from beginning to end. We had bombs exploding, gun battles, doors exploding, more gun battles – it was intense. Fans on Twitter were using commercial breaks to breathe. However, the fights in this episode overshadowed Jane’s backstory, which added another piece in the form of Cade.

Cade is one of the founding members of Taylor’s tribe, but what did he do for her to kick him out? And why is he trying to kill everyone, including Jane? I think we’ve officially found our new big bad after Carter, and I can’t wait to see what he has in store for Jane and the team, especially since Oscar is clearly keeping something from her.

Weller’s headstrong need to save Jane was back this week, and he’s doing everything he can to protect her. He even said himself, he’s already lost her once, and can’t lose her again. This frustration and fear definitely was shown when he lost his temper, telling her she couldn’t run off and do her own thing again.

It was also clear tonight how deeply Jane cares for Weller, and how badly she wants to keep him safe, which will prove difficult for her to continue doing missions for Oscar, while trying to stay with her FBI team.

Mayfair is on to her, and Reade has only been thrown off because of the threat. Undoubtedly, he’ll work around that threat soon, and once again be looking into Jane. I can definitely see this season ending with Reade and Mayfair working out Jane’s true identity, and her connection to Orion.

Next week’s episode looks to continue the intensity of this week’s, and I’m looking forward to what it will bring.
