Premise

The sixth season builds on the story line revealed in the fifth season finale, which showed that the real Raymond Reddington was already dead and that the man claiming to be him was an impostor. The two-part season premiere explored two characters who are crucial in this narrative: Dr. Hans Koehler, a master of facial reconstruction and Bastien Moreau or The Corsican. Elizabeth Keen begins digging into the mysteries of Reddington's lie. The season begins to unravel who the fake Reddington really is and whether the remains of the real Reddington found in the past season are those of Keen's real father.
