Introduction to Blindspot - Season 4, Episode 12 TV Show Review by Ms. H

Blindspot - Season 4, Episode 12 continues with the same two plots from the previous episode -- namely -- the dire medical condition of Jane Doe, and a devious person’s plan for an airplane attack.  The difference this time is there is going to be supposedly a trade-off of a “book of secrets” in exchange for stem cells that will save Jane. Also a planned airplane attack by criminals is used as a cliffhanger for this episode.

Plot of Blindspot - Season 4, Episode 12

It looks like the majority of this episode is dedicated to saving Jane.  Since she is the main star of the series, this is not a problem. However, the problem is that since Jane is hospitalized, there is no chance to see her in action fighting crime and criminals.  Instead more time is allotted to the ex-FBI agent’s story and a hacker than appearances by Jane.

Puzzles in Blindspot - Season 4, Episode 12

It seems that whatever catches one of the FBI investigator’s attention is something that will lead to the answer to a puzzle.  The huge puzzle to solve in this episode is where to find the book of secrets which is to be used as a trade for stem cells. Two FBI investigators take a trip to Peru -- of course after solving a puzzle that directed them to this location.

More puzzles to solve followed including where the actual book of secrets is located -- which was not at the initial location where they hoped to find it.  More clues follow that include an app that magically directs them directly to where the book is located. Since all this puzzle-solving is being done to save Jane, I will not mention how unbelievable their puzzle-solving skills were.

Cliff hanger in Blindspot - Season 4, Episode 12

The good news is that after an unexpected sequence of events involving the FBI investigators trying to locate the book of secrets, Jane finally got her cure.  The cliff hanger involves the ex-FBI agent and the hacker as well as a suspicious individual -- who by the way -- seemed unperturbed that it has been quite awhile since she has seen the ex-FBI agent, Zapata.

Assessment of Blindspot - Season 4, Episode 12

Even though Jaimie Alexander who plays the role of Jane Doe had little screen  time due to her condition, this episode was sort of entertaining to watch. The FBI agent that has been serving as the show’s comic relief, had a few humorous lines that may make you laugh out loud.

However, the reason I’m reviewing the Blindspot series is to see how the female action star Jaimie Alexander’s character is being treated on her own show.  Since she was incapacitated

during all of this episode -- Jane, of course,  had limited screen time. Now that she is supposedly cured, the writers need to get back to focusing the  storylines on Jaimie Alexander’s character as she recuperates from her ailment and resumes being the action star of Blindspot.

Rating of Blindspot - Season 4, Episode 12

Based on a rating of 1 star to 5 stars with 5 stars being the highest, I rate Blindspot - Season 4, Episode 12  -- 2 ¼ stars.
