The Blacklist Season 9 Episode 1 is finally premiering this week, and audiences can expect to see lead character Reddington (James Spader) making an important decision about the FBI Task Force.
Since the premiere episode will feature a two-year time jump, a lot of things already happened to Red and the other members of the FBI Task Force.
Not only is Liz (Megan Boone) dead; all the former members of the FBI Task Force have also gone on with their respective lives.
However, The Blacklist Season 9 won't make sense unless the FBI Task Force decides to work together again. So, there's no doubt that Red would eventually return to the team. The only question is when he would do so.

NBC just dropped the official synopsis for The Blacklist Season 9 Episode 1 titled The Skinner. And it was confirmed that Episodes 1 and 2 would be closely tied to each other.
"In the two years following the death of Elizabeth Keen, Raymond Reddington and the members of the FBI Task Force have disbanded with Reddington's whereabouts unknown. When one of their own is injured in the line of duty, however, the Task Force is drawn back together to bring down a conspiracy that could shatter global security," the synopsis reads.
Who Will Get Injured In The Blacklist Season 9 Episode 1?
The network recently released a photo of Dembe Zuma (Hisham Tawfiq) lying in the hospital bed. So, it's apparent that he will be the one to get injured in the premiere episode.
Since Red and Dembe have a close relationship, the latter's injury would most likely encourage Red to reach out to his old pal and the Task Force.
Other than his injury, Dembe is also expected to have significant storylines in The Blacklist Season 9. After all, he was with Red when Liz died. Dembe also pulled Red away from Liz, which shows that he is most loyal to him.

In the short clip, Red is talking to a mystery man. An unknown character tells him that it's not yet over.
Even though two years would've already passed since Liz's death, Red still seems to be in the process of moving on.
Days later, another trailer for The Blacklist Season 9 premiered during Late Night with Seth Meyers.
