Red takes Weecha to the trailer to relax. Mierce (Karina Arroyave) shows up to look after her sister. Red exits the trailer to make room for Weecha and Mierce. Mierce assures her that she is not furious with Red, but rather sad for him.
Anger is a feeling I believe is impossible to inhabit in Mierce's heart. This little heart is hurt, and sad, but I still believe in love. ❤#TheBlacklist @JamesSpader #RaymondReddington #Mierce @MoonchildK2 @NBCBlacklist pic.twitter.com/lx6C8kr5hf
