Rip prudently shrank Ray down in order to get him away quickly after Mick knocked him out. How the heck did Sara manage to get Mick away after Leonard knocked him out? Also, why doesn't Ray always shrink down and hide himself whenever the group seeks to take action? Then, if there is an ambush, he might not be instantly defeated or trapped with everyone else. Isn't that the whole point of being able to shrink, that he do just that?

Should Stein still have existed in 2016 when Jefferson went back in time? His baby self had been removed from the timeline and was with Rip's "mom," which is why Clarissa didn't remember Stein when the Pilgrim took her (also from 2016). Of course, the Jefferson who was yet to be roofied shouldn't still exist in 2016 since he was taken, too. In fact, everyone except Kendra and Rip were removed from the timeline before 2016, but we were specifically told that Clarissa did not know Stein, the same as if he had been killed, instead of removed. I would think that only his bereft parents would have had any memory of him. I'm willing to accept that the time travelling versions still exist, for the time being, but unless there are alternate timelines....

The assassins/bodies/explosion were definitely figments since the hotel was later seen to be in perfect shape, not even a broken window. I think the cop was real only because Red showed him the table with the 2 place settings and made an excuse about his wife feeling ill. Also, his bag containing money and id's shouldn't have been in the house if he had actually rescued Katarina because he left it (and his hat and coat) on the beach when he brought her inside. I think the cop actually saw the lights Red had turned on while carrying out his imaginary rescue and its aftermath, and intruded on said fantasy, but Red's mind allowed him to satisfy the cop and then go right back to "talking" with Katarina about how he had known that Jack was dead.

Was the Chinatown hideout an opium den so that Red could escape his despair for awhile? What happened at Cape May was either all memories or a combination of memory and fantasy. Didn't Red say at one point that Lizzie's mother walked into the sea and drowned? Likely, in the past he didn't stay to help Katrina fight the assassins who were after her but escaped with Lizzie while she drowned herself and he was fantasizing that it had turned out differently. The cop and the guy scavenging on the beach were real, but no one else. Too big a coincidence that the necklace would be found just when Red was there, though.

Who watches Trixie when she's in bed and both her parents are at a crime scene? We know Grandma isn't around. Is there an instantaneously available babysitter?

Her "death" coincides with Megan Boone's maternity leave, I presume. They had to find a way to remove her from the show for a while.

My educated guess: she's not dead. Mr. Kaplan arranged something with her and the Dr. to make Red believe she was dead so that he'll be out of her life and so the baby will be safe, since if Lizzie is believed to be alive, the baby can be used to get to her. Don't know how she got the Dr. to go along with the plan, except that maybe he can get out, too, which we know he wants to do. He (the Dr.) was very convincing, though. For this plan to be effective, Tom can't know either, because he would lead Red right back to Lizzie.

Did anyone see Kingsman?

The Fulcrum is a blackmail file on the Alliance. I thought the device hidden in the rabbit looked like a mini music box. If I'm not mistaken, it would likely play the same song from Lizzie's childhood as the music box Red rebuilt in "Ivan." When she opened this mini box, she got a dreamy look on her face, as if she was hearing something familiar. (If any of this is accurate, the song can't be a trigger or she would have been triggered by Red's music box.) It sound like Red was with some others who wanted to get the Fulcrum from Lizzie's father, there was a fight, a fire broke out and Lizzie screamed, Red rescued her and placed her with her adoptive family and probably arranged for her memory to be suppressed for her own mental health.

Why is Red so fatherly towards Elizabeth if he is not her father? I posted my theory in the Speculation thread.

My theory: Red and Mary-Louis Parker had a (ballet-dancing daughter) before they divorced. Then, Mary-Loise had a 2nd daughter, Elizabeth, with a 2nd husband/boyfriend. Red's enemies tried to hurt him by destroying his family, setting the fire that killed his daughter and her step-father, Elizabeth's biological dad. Elizabeth's mom, Mary-Louise Parker, wasn't home at the time of the fire. Red saved Elizabeth, the younger sister of his dead daughter, and gave her to her adoptive father for her own safety. He did this on the condition that her mother, Mary-Louise Parker, never try to find her. Mary-Louise Parker took on a new identity/went into Witness Protection and remarried. For the last 20 years, she has kept her promise not to seek out Elizabeth. Red had her blindfolded when handed over by Berlin so that she would not see and potentially recognize her daughter, Elizabeth, thus revealing Red's culpability in the destruction of Elizabeth's biological family. Red feels fatherly towards Elizabeth because she is the half-sister of his dead daughter: dead as a result of his own deeds.
