Glenmay be getting his final wish.
The Blacklistpaystribute to the late Clark Middleton on Friday's episode, which serves as a loving homage to the actorwho died last October, and his fan-favorite character, Glen "Jellybean" Carter. In the episode, titled"The Wellstone Agency," Reddington [James Spader] receives notice that Glen -- his longtime tracker and irritable DMV manager-- has died.
One of his last wishes is to have Huey Lewis, yestheHuey Lewis of Huey Lewis and the News,attend his funeral. ConsideringGlen was one of Red's closeloyal friends, it'd only be appropriatefor him to do everything in his power to give Glen the send-off he asked for.
"I'm here because a dear friend of mine passed away recently, a pillar of his community, loved his mother, Paula... and he, well, heabsolutelycherished your music. He knew every word of every song.Really!" Red begins his pitch to the "Power of Love" singer in ET's exclusive sneak peek.
"Now I realize it's a bit of a long shot but I was wondering if you might consider -- for a price, of course -- attending his memorial service," he continues, before quickly running through the location, "at the Rockville, Maryland DMV. It's tonight at 7 p.m."
Huey's bewildered expression says it all when he asks Red, "The DMV?"
"Yes, Glen was regional manager," Red says without skipping a beat, as if that would be the part that wouldpersuade Huey to say yes.
"You do know that Quincy Jones asked me to play on 'We Are the World'?" Huey replies, even more befuddled by the request. Will he grant Glen's last wish? We sure hope so.
Middleton died on Oct. 4 at age 63 as a result of theWest Nile virus, according to his wife, Elisa. A few days after his death, she took to his Twitter page to remember her late husband.
