And, a tough goodbye.
Thelast time we sawDr.
Perillos is in prison, helping assist in the medical ward.

It’s a violent prison break.
Later, Wujing introduces himself to a now-impeccably dressed Perillos.
I love that they found the time to get her nails done.

That was a full set with a design it would take hours.
Plus that leather pencil skirt?
A gleeful psychopath she might be, but her sartorial instincts are on point.

To that, they first have to grab Dembe.
It’s option No.
2, in case you’re wondering.
Dembe does not go down easily; he leads Wujing’s men on a merry chase, shooting several.
They only manage to take him when they threaten to kill civilians.
Obviously, Dembe is not going to let anyone shoot a child in the head.
When any of us open our texting apps, the history is there!
you’ve got the option to see the last texts!
That’s just phone science!
This is, as Raymond Reddington might say,utter poppycock.
Perillos taunts Dembe for joining the FBI to redeem his past bad acts.
He loves Red, a truth the torturer homes in on with disturbing accuracy.
Cooper finally figures out that Dembe is missing, helped by Red.
Someone like season 3’sTroll Farmer, aka Bo Chang.
Vesco agrees easily but fakes a coughing fit to buy time before getting into the car.
Back at torture central, the Doc’s frustration with Dembe’s continued silence has escalated.
Luckily for Dembe and for us viewers, Vesco has been on the right side the entire time.
While he was fake-coughing, he texted his location to Red.
Luckily, they get him to one of the many medical teams Red keeps on call.
The trip to the Philippines is postponed in favor of guns and threats.
Dembe wakes up with Red at his side.
By the time Red finds him, Robert Vesco is dead.
I don’t know about you, but at this point, I’m rooting him on.
