With so much plot twists and action unfolding at a spectacular speed, NBC continues Blindspot Season 3 with Episode 6: Adoring Suspect. Jane Doe (Jaimie Alexander) and Kurt Weller (Sullivan Stapleton) are back together solving the cases behind the mystery tattoos.

While Jane confronts the news she might be a mother, Tasha (Audrey Esparza) and Patterson (Ashley Johnson) have no luck in convincing Edgar Reade (Rob Brown) that a traitor is in their midst. Forced to bring in Weller, Patterson reveals that FBI Director Eleanor Hirst (Mary Stuart Masterson) is linked to Stuart’s murder. Jane believes Roman (Luke Mitchell)’s master plan is to bring down the FBI.

In a show within a show, Kurt is teaching an actor Keith Rhodes (Malcolm David Kelley) how to be real FBI agent. This is all part of a sting operation that Kurt is secretly planning. The production company is actually a front for a terrorist organization. Niko (Misha Kuznetsov) pays for Keith’s movies while bringing in his weapons of mass destruction.

After saving Keith from an assassination attempt, a gun prop gone horribly wrong, Kurt takes the actor back to headquarters. Richdotcom (Ennis Esmer) is so excited because he is Keith’s biggest fan.
