The Blacklist is heading in a different direction -- what with Liz (Megan Boone) embracing her criminal genetics and moving toward the dark side -- and this quest for revenge and newfound moral bankruptcy will have huge affects on her co-workers going forward.

Agent Harold Cooper (Harry Lennix) is going to come in direct contact with Liz's new attitude soon, and Lennix reveals that Cooper will struggle with how far he's willing to go to protect his star pupil.

"Cooper's going to have to juggle his sense of right and wrong," Lennix says in regards to how he'll handle Liz, hinting that he'll go off book in order to keep Liz on the Task Force. And if Red (James Spader) is Liz's devil on her shoulder, then we all know who Cooper will be. But that doesn't mean he'll it will be easy for him. "Cooper trying to be somebody's angel is a little bit more... circumstantial than he would have it be."

But Cooper has bent the rules before, and he'll have to do it again. The question may be, "How will Cooper justify [handling Liz] to himself, but I think he'll find a way," Lennix says.

The Blacklist airs Wednesday nights at 8/7c on NBC.
