'Blindspot' Season 1 Ep 4: Zapata's Gambling Problems, Crossover With 'The Player'?

In 'Blindspot' Season 1, episode 4 “Bone May Rot,” Agent Reade notices Agent Zapata talking to a mysterious man and assumes it's Zapata's new boyfriend. Near the end of the episode, the mystery man suddenly pops up out of nowhere and confronts Zapata in the evening. It is revealed through Zapata's phone that the man's name is Randy and he has been trying to get a hold of her throughout the episode, but Zapata ignored his phone calls.

Zapata tells Randy that she was going to contact him after she got out of the subway and asks him why he is following her. Randy said that if she picked up her phone, he wouldn't have to chase her down. Zapata already knows what Randy wants and says that she will pay him as soon as she can.

Randy lets Zapata know that the Jets (probably the New York Jets football team) lost, so she owes him 40 Gs (40 grand) now. Zapata wants to go again, double or nothing. Randy says no and wants his money. He gives her three days.

I bet that Zapata won't be able to fork over $40,000 in time and Randy will resort to threatening her family. Perhaps Reade will find out and get Agent Weller and Jane to help. Or maybe Alex Kane from NBC's 'The Player' will show up in town looking for Randy because he himself owes money to some very wealthy people. Maybe these wealthy people gamble on crime and place their bets on Kane to stop the new crime that is Randy not paying his debts on time.

A crossover between 'Blindspot' and 'The Player' would be amazing and would reunite the actors who play Agent Weller and Alex Kane who previously worked together in the action military series 'Strike Back.'
