In "Mr. Kaplan Conclusion", Liz is informed by Harold that he had done a DNA test between her and Red and she'll know within 24 hours if he is her father. She later tries to appeal to Kaplan to end the war with Red, and she wants to show her a secret. On their way there, Red's men block the attempt, and despite Kaplan's warning not to leave the car, Liz does. After opening an envelope containing the DNA test and believing it to be Kaplan's secret, Liz confronts Red for not telling her the truth about him being her father and having to find out from Cooper. She tells him that she was upset that she had already lost her mother, her nanny, and Sam, the people who knew her the best. Despite this, Liz mentions that she can't let Red deny the fact that she's just like him and that anger, despair and love is part of a normal family. Liz also realizes that Red wanted her to grow more as an FBI profiler and embraces him.
