Jane Doe is no longer the only one crossing lines on “blindspot.” The double/triple agent kept her fair share of secrets in season 1, and bodies dropped as a result. For all intents and purposes, it looks like Reade (Rob Brown) may be ready to follow in her footsteps. In fact, the FBI agent might already be off the reservation.
Picking up a thread from season 1’s "In the Comet of Us," Reade launched an investigation into Coach Jones’ illicit activities. A former mentee of the Hudson University football coach, Reade vowed to get justice for Jones victims.
Once he learned he may have been one of the instructor’s victims, however, all bets were off. The next time viewers saw the agent’s foe, he was long gone from this world.
Does Zapata Think Reade Is A Killer?
So, did Reade kill Jones? Zapata (Audrey Esparza) certainly thinks so, and she’ll do whatever it takes to keep her pal safe.
“You’ll have to wait and see,” executive producer Martin Gero told Entertainment Weekly. “Certainly it tests his relationship with Zapata. Reade is like a brother to her. She’ll do just about anything to keep him out of jail — even if he did do it.”
Does Reade Know The Truth?
The cast isn’t any closer to the truth than the rest of us, however. According to Brown, he’s not only unsure if his character had blood on his hands, he also doesn’t know if Reade is actually a victim of sexual abuse.
Whatever the case, the FBI agent is glad another villain is off the street.
“At the very least just closure that a bad person can do no more harm. At the end of the day, he's an FBI agent who catches bad guys. If a bad guy goes, great,” Brown explained to TV Guide. “Personally, man. There is no closure with him gone. You can't speak to him, that's done.
Now everything is empirical.”
When the credits rolled on "Condone UntidiestThefts", "Blindspot" managed to solve neither Jones' alleged crimes or the identity of his killer.
