The Avenging Angel returns what was stolen
The Blacklist Season 9 Episode 4 begins with Adam McHenry [Robbie Sublett], the CEO of a company called Genocyte being ambushed in his hotel room. A woman forces him to read a confession before having him thrown out the window to his death.
Dembe [Hisham Tawfiq] pays Red a visit and Red explains that McHenrys death was likely the work of a blacklister named Michael [Annabella Sciorra] aka The Avenging Angel. Michael commits murder, extortion, and other crimes to return what has been unjustly stolen to others.

Things take a dark turn for Cooper in The Blacklist Season 9 Episode 4. He wakes up in a parking garage and cant remember how he got there.

The task force discovers that Michael is choosing victims from an online prayer group. Aram and Dembe find where Michael has been hiding out while Michael finds her next victim.
A wealthy man named Derek Huntley [Scott Bryce] needed a heart transplant and bribed a hospital with a new pediatric wing to get to the top of the list. As a result, a steelworker named William Green didnt receive a new heart. Michael kidnaps both of these men and intends to right the wrong by surgically giving Green Huntleys heart.
