Surprises & Shockers: Wednesday Night Drama


The Mysteries of Laura: "The Mystery of the Fertility Family"

When a fertility doctor is missing and found murdered, it's Laura and the gang to see who would want to kill the miracle man to bring life. As the case is about to be solved, a secret will be revealed that no one but Laura and Jake knows. 

We first start by seeing someone in a horse barn; the man is stabbed in the chest with a needle. As soon as the guy goes down, the murderer runs off and leaves the victim to die in front of a horse. Of course, the horse must be the witness in this. I had to say that. 

Soon, we meet up with Laura as she talks to someone distressed about what we think is about the murder that we first saw, but it's not. It turns out to be a mother complaining about Laura's twins and bullying her daughter. Laura does tell her that she will ground them. 

Laura talks with Jake about it, and as they talk about the boys, Jake tells Laura that he needs to pass a physical or his insurance will go up, which also makes her go up. Laura helps him by dodging all the wrong foods, from pizza to cookies. And in return, Jake gives a missing case to Laura. 

Laura and  Billy head to the wife of the missing husband. The first thought would be that he cheated on her with some young lady. As they looked into his office, they found a photo of the missing with a young lady and a horse. 

They then go to a horse race, looking for anyone who might have known or seen him. Laura talks to one of the guys who sets the betting. In that scene, that was one of the funniest scenes in the episode. Soon, Laura speaks to the bartender; he tries to hit on her but then talks about the missing doctor. 

Laura and Billy then look into the horse barns where the horses are before the races. They look into one and find the body of the missing doctor. The victim was stabbed in the chest, and an air bubble killed him. 
So Laura and the gang looked into who might have killed him. They looked into his work, who was a fertility doctor. They find that the victim has been conning his patients into believing that they are pregnant and later telling them that they have miscarried.  And to ensure they get evidence, Laura and Jake make an appointment and learn that she's pregnant.  That's where they busted the doctor and brought her to talk about the scheme the victim was pulling. 

Then Laura and the gang go through some of the doctor's clients, who might hate him. Meredith talked to the one who had attacked the doctor. After they spoke, Meredith talked to Billy about marriage and having kids. 

Soon, Laura and Billy make one more stop at a client who says she has seen the doctor and also that she's pregnant. As more quickly asked a question to the lady, they left, but soon Laura got the most significant clue on this case. She started sneezing; she's allergic to horse hair. They went back and asked her if she had been at any horse races, and she replied no, but her husband had, and they went to meet with him up on the roof. 

Laura and Billy meet and talk to the husband. He admitted that he spoke to him and knew what he was doing to him and his wife. He didn't like it, but he also didn't know that he killed him. Soon the husband was freaking out—Billy texted for backup and not to make a sound. 

Soon, Laura talks to him and tells him she understands what he's going through. She mentions how one day you think you can be happy, then the next you're not. She talks about how she and Jake were pregnant with a little girl but then had a miscarriage. But then mentions the twin boys. 

That scene was a moment that I didn't see coming at all. Talk about a show that balances drama and comedy in a police procedural; this was amazing. 

Also, one of the funniest moments of the storyline was with the twins. They are suspected of bullying a little girl, so after more than once, the moms of New York City came to Laura's house and had an intervention. It was hilarious, along with other great moments with the babysitter.

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




Chicago PD: "Called in Dead"

When Erin gets a call from Nadia that her friend has overdosed on a drug in Erin's apartment. As Erin learns about the drug, she and the gang make an Ocean's 11-style steal. As soon as they take the drugs, they watch the club's owner freak out. 

Soon, Voght and the gang pick him up and talk to him. They want him to get his boss to come out and talk. As things are set up, the club owner meets with Blue and his guys carrying heavier weaponry. The Voght and the gang move in. 
The one thing I love about this show is how they do these stakeouts and come in. There are times when you don't know what's going to happen or who will come from. 

So Voght talks to Blue, but the guy isn't talking. So, the rest of the gang is trying to find out about him. 

As they do that, Al comes home and surprises his wife with flowers and wine. But things aren't expected; it's quiet, and Al hears her speak softly, scaredly. Blue's gang members are in the house, and they want the drugs back. 

So one of the guys takes Al to get the drugs. As Al takes the back, he comes back in the car and soon shows him the drugs but also offers him a shotgun and blasts him right there in the car. 

Soon, Al and Voght get to his house and take the other guy out. They bring him back to headquarters and put him in the cage. Al talks to him about how he killed his brother. Al has been around so long that he's zen about it. 

Meanwhile, Burgess and Roman are out on a psycho K-9 run with Roman's ex-partner. Both Roman and his ex had some perfect moments. But it would then later get them in trouble. 

As the CPD gang comes up with something, the one connection they have is that a judge has been letting them go after being arrested. So they pick up the judge at his home where he was having a nooner with a young lady.

As Voght and Al talk to the judge, the Commander brings them out to talk. Soon, information came that it wasn't the judge but the court clerk handling the gang's release. So the gang picked him up as soon as he was about to run. 

Also, as Erin has been dreading whether or not to join the task force, she talked to Voght about it and then announced to the squad that she's taking the job. I would think that what Erin has done is something she loves and cares about. 

And I mentioned that Roman and his ex would get in trouble arguing. At the end of the episode, Burgess, Roman, and his ex make another round and check at a house. Soon, Roman and his ex argued; Burgess then moved on and went to the door. She told them to shut up, but then, as she rang the doorbell, a blast of gunshots went through the door, hitting Burgess. 

We are left with two shocking moments that came one after the other. Talk about a fall finale; I loved it but was shocked that Erin would take it. I thought she wouldn't. Also, the last minute of the episode of Burgess getting shot was another shocker. 

Well, we'll have to wait and see how our ladies will be come January. 

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