The official synopsis of the episode reads as follows:

The second season of the NBC series ended with Liz killing the attorney general of the United States and then fleeing with Red. Speaking about the upcoming season, creator Jon Bokenkamp told Yahoo TV, "She's [Liz has] murdered somebody. She's had Reddington in her life for a couple of years now, so the idealistic young FBI agent that she was in the pilot has been completely flipped upside down."

Megan Boone, who plays Liz, said on the other hand that there will be a lot of action scenes now that her character has turned fugitive. Fan can expect a car chase with Ressler "sprinting to jump a 15-foot fence", the actress said. "They're really trying at first to escape from the city, and so it requires a lot of ingenuity... and relying on Red's criminal underground connections, because they've got the city on lockdown."

"And there is a lot of action. What I really like, and I've continued to like about playing [Liz], is that she's sort of an unlikely action hero. She wasn't meant to be an Arnold Schwarzenegger or a Sylvester Stallone or even a Charlize Theron. She is more of a relatable woman, an everywoman, who is forced into this position of being in these highly dangerous circumstances in which she has to defend herself, " the actress added.
