The Beauties and the Beast: Wednesday Night Crime Night



The Mysteries of Laura: The Mystery of the Mobile Murder

This week's mystery of Mysteries of Laura takes a look around the business of cosmetics. When a woman is found dead on a party bus, Laura and the gang investigates more than just a wild night for the victim.

A janitor cleans up a party bus after one wild night, until he sees a sign on the bathroom door and when he opens it it's a dead woman.

While at the precinct, Billy and Meredith are signing up to the Rock'N Run, which is like American Gladiators meets Tough Mutter. When Laura sees everyone signing up she makes a crack about how much testosterone is in the room.    

That's when the kids come running from Jake's office. Soon Detective Pedilla comes into looking for Laura that was until he talked about the Run and soon Jake, in a bit of jealously, decides to enter the race. Then Laura got the call of the murder.

Laura and Billy investigates the crime scene and sees the victim hit with a moon shape object to the face and also covered in glitter. So they thought up of a club, a strip club, where they go in and saw a bunch of hunky men dancing. Laura was amazed and as she looks around, she gets stop by a stripier cop who then gives her a dance. As she was asking him questions about "her friend" he talks her and soon someone who carries drinks heard the conversation, stopped and the cop signed him to get out.

That's when he leaves and then Billy follows him to the back. That's when the stripier cop stops and leaves, but not until Laura stops him and shows him her badge.

Both Billy and Laura asked the men questions and soon find out that the victim was part of the cosmetics party with a group of friends. That's when they went up there and soon as Laura was looking around she sees a sign that matched the shape the victim had on her face. Billy was amazed.

They follow a bunch of women walking into a room where there was a convention. They see all these crazy women going crazy for Margo of the cosmetics. Soon after hearing what the crowd yells out, they question it.

After the meeting of the convention was over, Laura and Billy talked to Margo, talked to her for a little bit and she left. Soon, they bump into Heidi, who's a bit of a nut, trying to make it big to the business of cosmetics, talks to Laura. Laura takes her to the precinct, to sale some products to the female cops and Max and answer some questions.

Meanwhile, Jake is being trained by Billy for the Rock N' Run, and he's not looking too good for it. After a workout, he looks for his lunch and Billy told him that he took away his sandwich and his booze. Billy said one of the most memorable phrase, "You booze, You loose."

Later on, Laura goes talking with one of the ladies of the cosmetic group. She catches her about to get her tan. After talking to her, Laura then left and soon turns up the level of the tanning room, which later Jake told her turned her very brown.

Jake take Laura off the case for the evening, leaving Billy and Meredith to investigate at a warehouse. As they looking for the area, they heard a noise down the hall, where they found out there was an illegal cock fighting.

Didn't see that coming at all in this episode.

After catching and rounded up the guys, Meredith and Billy finally go into the storage where they saw a collection of Margo's work and photos. That's when Laura talked to Margo and later she took both her and Billy to her hotel room and showed her the safe and paper work.

Laura then asked to use her bathroom and took Billy in there with her. She snoops around and found something that proves otherwise why Julie was going after her. Then as the convection was going on, Laura interrupts and announced that Margo is not the age she say she is, that in fact that she's taken birth control and other meds and that she's really 43 years of age.

That's when Laura said that's what Julie wanted to expose, the truth about her and the products. That's when Heidi gets up and defends Margo. Laura then said that Heidi, who will stick up for Margo, will do anything for her even kill someone who was threatening Margo.

After Heidi's arrested, we catch up with the Meredith, Billy and Jake as they run the Rock N' Run race. Jake is just killing it and the race is literally killing him. At the end, they came in dead last but that didn't disappoint Jake at all after a couple of women were amazed at what he has done and being the only captain to do the race.


The show has really improved since the pilot. I really think that this show has gotten it's characters all at the same level that it should be even with Laura being the main character. This series has a great supporting cast that has such a great characteristic.

Meredith is probably the one character that has shown a lot of improvement since the beginning. She's not just some pretty cop sitting at the desk, oh no, she's got game when it comes to playing video games, she's got attitude and the guts to go after the criminals and suspects.

Even though, next week "The Voice" will be on three nights, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The show will be back in two weeks. Also the People Choice Awards have been announced and the show including Debra Messing is nominated for a PCA. So if you love the show, I recommend you to vote for "Laura" and Messing.

You can catch "The Mysteries of Laura" Wednesday nights at 8/7c on NBC




Chicago PD: "Prison Ball"

Sometimes when a crime happens, it hits close to home. This week's episode of "Chicago PD" deals with a killing of a ten year old girl.

We see Burgess at Atwater's place playing video game with his sister. He gets a phone call about a crime and soon heads up there. Voight and Erin get there and sees that the victim was a ten year old girl, a drive by shooting right to the head.

The new commander tells Voight that this is the only thing that they are going to work on. Soon the mother of the child runs out but Atwater hold her back. He tries to calm her down and tells her that he'll do everything he can to bring justice.

As the Voight and the gang get their information about the girl and the suspects. Atwater gets a source that the suspect is actually the man who is in state prison.

Soon Atwater makes a convincing argument that he should go into the prison to Voight. Voight then makes a call and tells him that no one will no about it expect for the team. We see a bus coming in, criminals comes out and we see Atwater and Ruzek coming out.

They go through the process, they look around the place but not looking at anyone. Soon Atwater see's the suspect that they are after. Later on we learn that both Atwater and Ruzek are not alone, that Dawson is there with them as a prison guard.

Meanwhile, Voight and the rest of the gang try to find the suspect that did the shooting. Erin and Halstead found the owner of the car but got information that it was being tolled away because of the parking tickets, but it really was taken.

Soon, Voight and Al went to the car pound, and talked to one of the guys there, which turned out to be the owner of the place. He starts running and Voight and Al run after him and then gets caught under a car thanks to Voight bumping it.

The guy mentions someone that took it. They run the name and soon the gang went to the guy's place. As they got there, the music in the building was playing very loud. As everyone was set up, Voight decided to go up and knock soft at the door and announced in a low voice, "Chicago Police Department."

That was one of the funniest moments in the episode. I couldn't stop laughing after he did that.

Voight and the gang move in. They got the guy and brings him in.

Meanwhile, Atwater tries to make an impression with the main suspect. Soon he is taken into protective custody. Dawson tells Ruzek about it and soon Ruzek picks a fight with Atwater. They both brawled until it was broken up and Atwater was taken into protective custody.

Atwater gets in and tries to talk to the suspect. After the first attempt, he tries it again and tells him that the guy who did the shooting wants more money from him. He tells him that he's getting five percent and soon his buddy tells him that Atwater is a cop.

Then a fight was being played out. The suspect's bodyguard, sort of, get's his butt kick and falls on his back into the table. Atwater and the suspect fight and after knocking the knife off his hand, he starts kicking his ass by punching his face. Dawson then runs up to him and stops him.

Both the suspect, the shooter and the nephew of the suspect is arrested and taken into custody. Atwater seems to taken this case very personally, since he has a sister, who is the same age as that little girl.

This episode was a non stop episode of drama. I felt that Atwater had a very good storyline. Also the Brugess and Roman storyline was pretty cool and funny. I didn't mention it in the recap because the Atwater storyline was better. But I will say that we do learn why Roman is pissed off at Al.

Apparently, a couple of years ago, when Roman's partner was shot, Al decided to go after the suspect and not help his partner. After telling Roman that he would do it again and bring his partner and he'll tell him the same. That was when Roman told him that he was in another place and on disability.

Next week is one that no one should miss. To all you Chicago PD fans out there, try getting your friends and family to turn in for this epic two night, three show crossover event. It all begins on Tuesday with Chicago Fire then carries into Wednesday with Law & Order SVU and concludes with Chicago PD.

You can catch "Chicago PD" Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.
