The Blacklist's Mr. and Mrs. Keen have a fairly...complicated...relationship, to put it mildly, and executive producer Jon Bokenkamp has revealed just how much sway Tom and Liz's relationship holds over their decisions.

Who Is Red's Greatest Foe On 'The Blacklist'? Will Berlin, Fitch, or Liz Be A Greater Threat In The Final Episodes?

The NBC drama is inching toward the end of its freshman season and, as it does so, Liz (Megan Boone) is contemplating turning Tom (Ryan Eggold) in to the FBI (see video below). Considering Berlin will soon be on the loose and Tom will have orders to off his fake wife, will Liz's rage and Tom's romantic feelings work to muddle their decisions?

"I think [Liz] is someone who -- as hinted at in the pilot when she stuck a pen into Reddington's neck -- can be volatile," Bokenkamp explained to TV Guide. "She can not be good at hiding her emotions at times. Sometimes she lets that get in the way of being an agent. She's not just an FBI agent. She's a woman and wife and she's been betrayed. That's really difficult to bottle up and see it through the lens of the prism of an FBI agent. This was a man who she built her life with."

Liz's feelings of betrayal have resulted in a few rash decisions, and the fact that Tom may have actually grown attached to his wife during his mission may actually help to save her life when Tom is ordered to take her down.

"I think [Tom's feelings are] something that we are not ignoring," Bokenkamp said, according to TV Guide. You can't live with somebody for as long as they lived together and have a life together, whether it's pretend or not, and not in some way have some truth to it, some truth to the relationship...Where that goes, who knows? But it's something that we're aware of."

Catch up with Keens when The Blacklist airs it's two-part season finale ("Berlin" and "Berlin: Conclusion" on NBC starting this Monday at 10 p.m. ET.
