It’s a race between Red and the Task Force to find the traitorous Marvin.
I’m not going to lie, I sympathize with Marvin.
This episode explained Marvin’s motivation well and just how much he cared about Red.

Heddie and Marvin who both dedicated their lives to Red’s business felt overlooked by him.
Marvin knew the ins and outs of the business.
Of course, Marvin isn’t the “hero” in the story, but neither is Red.

Our main concern should be clearing Cooper’s name.
Let’s begin the recap.
Marvin Gerard (No.

Marvin is in tears watching his friend go through the worst pain imaginable which he caused.
In one scene, the pair share a drink while Marvin complains about Red.
Tyson tells Marvin about theGPS medical pill.
Flash-forward to two years after Liz’s death, and Marvin is running things while Red is away.
Tyson advises Marvin to finally take Red out, but he refuses because of their friendship.
Mierce (Karina Arroyave) is upset that their lives were put in danger because of Red.
She blames him for all of this.
As Mierce uses sage around Weecha, Red begs for them to stay.
The Task Force has been ordered to find Marvin.
Red wants to kill Marvin, but Cooper still needs him to clear his name.
Cooper’s main priority is taking care of Agnes, and he can’t do that from jail.
Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq) asks Cooper to help protect Red.
But unfortunately for them, Marvin has bugged Red’s vehicle and knows where they’ll be.
He calls Henrick Fisker (Pawel Szajda), the head of assassin operatives, to take out Red.
He tells Fisker to make it quick and painless.
Red meets with his business partners to go over the situation with Marvin.
As Red is strategizing a plan with his colleagues, they are ambushed by Fisker’s men.
After Red is shot in the arm, he and Dembe hide from the gunfight in the pantry.
They later come out to find Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) and a team clearing out the cabin.
They find one operative, and figure out that the man works for Fisker.
Red knows a guy who works for Fisker.
They track Fisker down and torture him into revealing where he’s meeting Marvin.
Dembe tells the Task Force where Fisker is, but refuses to reveal Marvin’s whereabouts.
He tells the gang to get the information from Fisker himself.
They’re able to find the location, but aren’t sure they’d make it before Red.
Suddenly, there’s Red, right in front of his former lawyer.
Marvin confronts Red for choosing Liz over him to initiate the company.
Red tells Marvin he was always meant to be a follower, never the leader.
Marvin takes the opportunity to escape from Red.
Realizing Marvin got away because of the Task Force, Red calls Cooper and terminates their working relationship.
Ending his relationship with the Task Force isn’t going to help Red in the long run.
Dembe is still an FBI agent and Cooper is Agnes' guardian.
I just hope Redfinallyrealizes that killing Marvin isn’t going to bring Liz back.
