As the final season of The Blacklist progresses, Reddington finds himself on the run, discarding his formerly low-profile strategy as an outright police pursuit ensues. "Arthur Hudson," the 20th episode of season 10, proves the longevity of the popularity of The Blacklist, putting Congressmen Hudson, played by Toby Leonard Moore, and his gathered evidence against the FBI Task Force under the spotlight. Nevertheless, Red, true to character, doesn't surrender without a fight.

By the end of the episode, he manages to tip the scales back in his favor, returning to his pre-show starting point. 

The episode begins with an anxious Cooper, played by Harry Lennix, preparing to encounter Hudson and discuss the fate of the Task Force. The recent illegal activities of Red, along with the Task Force's increasingly apparent bending towards working for Red rather than with him, pose difficulties in defense against Hudson. Establishing this, Red has already begun dismantling his criminal empire via Task Force investigations to shift responsibility.

Yet, absent Red, the Task Force begins to question its purpose. Without Red, would there be any need for a Task Force or Blacklist? As they ponder over their future, the agents may need to start job hunting soon.
