Trivia
The title is Russian for "beginning."

Goofs
The entire convoluted backstory fails to explain why "Reddington" did not simply reveal to Liz that the woman he shot in front of her was not actually Liz' mother. He would not even had to tell her who she actually was, or revealed much of the backstory. All it would have taken would have been to make Liz take a DNA sample from her for comparison with Liz' own DNA. It would have ended Liz' trauma about Reddington killing her mother and avoided sending Liz on her revenge-fueled rampage, at zero extra risk and next to no effort. Liz would have had further questions but "Reddington" has never been bothered by refusing to answer any of them.
