Every episode of “The Blacklist” leaves me with more and more questions—and not the bad kind. With all of the possible scenarios that could play out in more than one storyline, it’s time for some theories.

When it comes to the relationship between Red and Lizzie there is a general consensus going around among fans—Red is Lizzie’s father.

I have a big problem when I read this theory in the comment sections of “The Blacklist” sneak peeks or previews.

It is very possible and after last episode it seems like the likely idea. At the end of the episode Red reminisces in the house where he says he raised his family. We get to see him flashback to watching a little girl play in the house’s backyard. The assumption is that it’s Liz.

The problem I have with the theory is it wouldn’t take much thinking to have Red be Liz’s father. Everyone would expect it which means there wouldn’t be much surprise.

Nevertheless, while I hate the theory I do AGREE that Red is Liz’s father. However, I don’t think the girl we saw playing in the backyard is Liz. I believe Red had two daughters, Liz and another girl. He may have had to give away one and raise the other. However, we know Red probably kept tabs on Liz throughout the years.

This is where I think Tom comes in. He didn’t marry Liz for love. As I mentioned in this article, Tom’s employer is someone that Red fears and someone that knows Red’s life. It may be possible that person knows how important Liz is to Red and has asked Tom to keep tabs on her.

Don’t agree with my theories? Have another one? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

“The Blacklist” airs Mondays at 10/9c on NBC.
