Red (James Spader) then informed Liz of Zanetakos, an assassin who engaged in corporate espionage and terrorism, who was also Tom’s lover. Unlike the fate of most Blacklisters, Gina wasn’t killed, but offered a deal by the feds in exchange for her testimony.

When Gina returns in an episode slated for early February, the sultry jack-of-all-trades criminal will shake things up between Liz and Tom.
