Case Profile for Mid Season 7 Premiere
In the first hour a copy cat art thief, Victoria Fenberg, is not only making counterfeit art items to profit from the originals, she actually is stealing from her own families personal collection to help her accomplice fund a lawsuit against her father’s pharmaceutical company. This episode is just the setup to the real plot at hand which is the second hour where Red and 5 of his closest criminal friends made a deal to each hold onto one of 6 gold caskets that apart are a jewel of their own, but together are worth a fortune.
The second hour turns into a game of Clue as one of the six dies unexpectedly followed by another and then another. Turns out on the smallest of the 6 caskets contains a micro dot that is a list of Turkish assets working in the American government. The Turks want it back and hire Cornelius Ruck to play "The Butler” Arthur Rodman in this game of who done it. In the end Red gets the best of them all and splits the sale of the caskets with Casandra, an old flame he left behind long ago, similar to Madeline Pratt, because he had to intervene in Elizabeth’s life.
Be sure to answer our profiling question of the week: Would Red have gone with Casandra had she not stopped him? Visit our feedback page to leave a response or call +1 (304) 837-2278.

The Music for the Mid Season 7 Premiere
As Vataras makes a distraction for Victoria to steal the Hoekstra piece of art we hear “Starts Right Here” from Battle Tapes & Valerie Broussard. In the second hour during the open we hear “Ancient Aviator” by Serpent Power as Red arrives at the mysterious island in the Baltic Sea. Later as the Turks and Cornelius do battle with Casandra and Red we are treated to “Killing Strangers” by Marilyn Manson.
