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.

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.
In the following scene, we see Red with his lover and bodyguard, Weecha, portrayed by Diany Rodriquez. Weecha seems reluctant about Red's plans to leave the country and "chase the moon across the world." However, Red remains optimistic and invites her to come along during his departure on his private jet.
