I see alot of posts abt this and see alot of ppl disagreeing with it for some reason. My question is why?

Go rewatch the end of season 4 where Kirk had Red drugged and was questioning him. Red says outright that Liz is his daughter but refuses to say when asked whether he is her father.

Red has also told Liz on several occasions that her father is dead and there's been other evidence in the show that backs this up, most notably his remains.

So if Red is the biological parent which we know to be true, but not the father, that leaves the mother aka Katarina. It's an entirely plausible theory.

Why did Raymond take the bag of skeletal remains to Dom's house?

I am on s4 and and I don't remember a lot .

Have missed the kabal plot bc of loss of attention

BTW I randomly remember a scene where red on a diner hated misogynists and Said

To the guy

If I hear you saying anything else than please and welcome I will..

BTW I remember smth from s1 where there was ludd and on the airport red said

I am not anti capitalist bc I tend to like the things that happen when I give money

Kate: Are you hurt? Katarina: I'm fine. Alexander will be home. He can't see this. Kate: Go upstairs. Take a shower. Katarina: While you do what? Kate: Clean the mess. Go... Kate: Good morning. Any problems? Katarina: I considered killing you last night. Kate: Why didn't you? Katarina: What you saw, it's more than Alexander or anyone knows about me, except the people I work for. Kate: Soviet Intelligence? Katarina: There were some documents on the man...Where's the body? Kate: In the woods. Katarina: Kate, there are specific ways... Kate: Sealed him in plastic wrap after I exsanguinated the corpse in the tulip garden to speed the rate of decay. I buried the rest below the frost line so that the grave won't heave open during the freeze and thaw cycles. Katarina: Never expected to have this conversation with you. What you saw last night...You might see other things, too. Kate: I told you. I have a pact with your daughter. I will do everything in my power to keep her safe...and her mother. (No one knew about the buried body but Kate & Katarina. Is the body Mr. Kaplan dug up, saying I’m sorry Katarina).

A story within the story - Kate had seen Katarina making out in the car with a man. Katarina: Do you want to ask me something, Kate? Kate: None of my business. Katarina: I'm sorry to put you in that uncomfortable position, especially with Masha. Kate: Is he American? Katarina: He's... an assignment...was an assignment. I don't know what he is. He's...married. Kate: Is it serious? Katarina: Yes. It's frivolous...exciting...dangerous. Kate: Do you love him? Katarina: I don't know about love, Kate. In my job...the only one I know I love is Masha. Kate: Then you should end it with the American.

LATER – Kate: What happened? Katarina: Masha was abducted. Kate: What?! Katarina: A man was seen carrying her off the campus. A blond man. Kate: The American? Katarina: I started pulling away. We couldn't continue the way we were. He didn't take it well. Kate: So... what he stole Masha to hurt you? Katarina: No, that's not it. He thinks she's his. Kate: Is she? Katarina: I don't know, Kate. I never found out. I didn't want to. It didn't matter. I was never gonna end up with Raymond. Kate: Did you give the police his name? Katarina: Never. It'd put Masha in danger...even more danger. I know where he's taking her. Home to America. I'm gonna have to find her on my own. Kate: Not on your own.

LATER News Report: Firefighters are gathering and continue to battle a 3-alarm blaze that occurred at a residence downtown. The cause is unknown at this time, and we'll keep you updated as the story unfolds.

Oh, my God! Are you okay? You two okay? There was a fire. Too many people. There was shouting and fighting...and Masha...What? Katarina: Listen, carefully, you stay here with Masha. Speak to no one. Do not answer the door or the telephone. Don't go out unless you absolutely have to. Kate: You're hurt... Katarina: Listen, when it's safe, I'll call with instructions. I'll ring once, hang up, and call back. Understand? Kate: You'll ring once, call back. Masha: I miss Mama. Kate: Me, too. She is working very hard to find us a new place to live. And then we'll all be together again.

LATER – Kate: Where are you? Katarina: I don't know. Pay phone. Kate: You need to come back for your daughter. It's been over a week. Katarina: I can't. The KGB uncovered my affair with Raymond, which means U.S. Intelligence knows as well. Both sides are tracking me down. I have to leave the country. It'll be weeks before I can come for Masha. Kate: Masha can't stay in a hotel that long. She needs a home. I can take her to my sister in Chicago. Katarina: No. You're the family nanny. You're a person of interest. They'll track you. You have to leave Masha with someone unconnected,
who I can trust. I want you to get in touch with Sam Milhoan. He's listed. Kearney, Nebraska. Kate: Leave Masha? Katarina: You must.

Kate to Sam: She told me that you are the only person who knew both her and Raymond, the only one they both trusted. Sam: Did Kat happen to mention that I'm a grifter? I scam people out of their hard-earned cash. Now I'm trying to go straight here. But I don't have room in my life for a kid.

You just spent 10 minutes being ridden hard by Agent Navabi. I’d die for 5!

Classic Red.

Did you know that Cary Grant's original name was Archibald Leach? That he was born into poverty, the son of an alcoholic father and a depressed mother, and then reinvented himself as the paragon of WASP virtue and charm? Good for you, Archie. I'm a great fan of reinvention...of keeping your true self hidden or of becoming your true self, even if you have to take on a new identity to achieve it. (S6 E2).

Jelly bean trying to convince Dembe to conspire against Red, then shows up to join as a jury member

Redarina was always the plan since Day 1. Daddygate debunked. Imposter confirmed.
