What if Tom's absolutely nobody, the way he seems, and the whole thing is Red setting him up to get more control over Liz?
I didn't think the alchemist's list was about Meera. I think it was about the dead girl that Red did the computer search for earlier in the season. But maybe I misread that. Anyway, as I recall, he knew about Meera before Liz handed him that list - the guys piecing the shredded paper together found a report with her name on it.

I agree the episode felt off. I liked the idea of The Alchemist, but how does a guy obsessed with genetics and his family not know his daughter is diabetic. I thought they would use that as his reason for being obsessed...trying to find a gene/cure for his daughter.
Setting up Tom seemed to be the real focus of the episode. Who is behind this mystery woman and why?
