After a few weeks off, Blindspot picks up right where it left off, as “Clamorous Night” sees the team fighting for their lives after Roman put a hit out on all of them. As Roman quips near the end of the episode, he’s got so many assassins on his payroll that he can’t keep track, and they’re all going after the FBI team. The attacks themselves are pretty much coordinated, and that leads to an episode with a unique structure, as we continually flash back to a single moment, and then follow each individual character arc from there.

It’s an interesting creative choice, and one that allows a fair amount of tension to be built with each new character arc. Essentially, once we know that the episode will be following one attempted hit at a time, it’s easier for the episode to play with our expectations. We try to fill in the blanks ourselves, wondering what’s happening to Zapata while Reade is being attacked, or whether Weller can take down his assassin and get to Jane in time. It’s incredibly compelling, and one of the more inspired structural decisions in a season filled with bold choices that haven’t always landed.

It all starts when the FBI team gathers at the office to talk about Crawford. It’s been two days since he escaped, along with Roman, and the team has no real leads. They figure he hopped a few planes and ended up in Hong Kong, but they don’t know anything for sure. They’ve been at the office for two straight days and it’s starting to wear on them, so Reade tells everyone to go home and get some rest so they can maybe see things more clearly in the morning.

Because Rich Dot Com can’t help but insert himself into everybody’s business, he tells Jane and Weller that they should skip the takeout food and go out for once in their lives before the romance dies. They resist his advice, but he hacks into the reservation system for a hot new restaurant named “Mr. Velvet” and books them a table with Weller’s credit card, meaning they have no choice but to go….
