The Mysteries of Laura: "The Mystery of the Deceased Documentarian"
This episode went from solving a cold case to one of the most shocking endings in it's series so far and it leads to what I think will be a great and thank god a season finale.
When a bike messenger was looks to be delivering something get shots. Laura and the gang investigates that this murder isn't just about a message.
As the investigation goes, the victim turns out to be a filmmaker who was solving a crime that had happen 15 years ago. The victim made a film and sent it to a film festival but was rejected. Laura and Jake got to show a screening of it to the public and interviewed the folks who were there, that included the cold case victim's boyfriend.
But as their investigation goes on, there's someone who's also trying to solve the crime too. Casey, who's went to the same high school and is a podcast crime investigator, that's like Serial.
When you think that they found the killer who be the guy who hung himself in the flower shop, but as Laura would think it that if there's no note, it's not a suicide.
Laura and the gang dig deeper and that lead to going to the film festival that was going on in New York City and get the original copy of the bike messenger's movie. When looking at the final two minutes of it, Laura knows who the killer is.
That lead to the suspect's wife to come down and file paperwork to claim the earrings that apparently were left in the victim at the flower shop. Until Frankie gave the wife the wrong forms and she started to call her husband but didn't answer.
The suspect was at Casey's house being interviewed on her live podcast. When Laura made a phone, she talks to them and well, Casey did what Casey would do, spill out that he did it. The suspect gets mad but as Laura talks him down that his ex-girlfriend had cheated on him.
The suspect was taken down as Billy and Frankie got there. But it would be Casey that probably needed the protection from Laura.
Near the end of the episode, Laura and Jake have a moment. Laura is buying a summer house for the kids and her boyfriend. Jake doesn't feel like he'll be part of their kids lives after this but Laura tells him that he will always be. That lead to Jake going to the bar and joining him was Frankie. They talk about their plans and that freaky lamp that she brought in and sold.
But the shocking moment came when Jake went to a grocery store. He's looking for some zingers and when all of the sudden a robber comes in and demanded money. Jake gets ready to take the suspect down when a lady comes in and scared. The suspect points the gun and Jake takes the bullet for her and the suspect leaves.
Jake is on the floor shot in the chest. That was the most shocking and dramatic moment in the series so far and I think that come next week's season finale that it will be even more dramatic and a bit emotional as well.
I have to say I didn't see that ending coming at all. Yeah I'm feeling bad for Jake after that talk with Laura. He hopes that they would get back together and be together forever.
This episode had some funny moments. I enjoyed Melissa Joan Hart being the "Serial" character in this episode. It was so cool seeing Clarissa on the show.
I give this episode a 8/10. I think that this was pretty good episode. The one thing I literally take out of this episode was the shocking ending. and I'll just say this that thank god that next week is the season finale and not the series finale.
You can catch the season finale of The Mysteries of Laura next Wednesday at 8/7c on NBC.

Chicago PD: "Push the Pain Away"
After the aftermath of the death of Nadia, Erin isn't doing well to coup the lost. She went to see her mother, at a local bar where she works and drinks away.I think I would know for a fact that Voight told Bunny to stay away from Erin. Can't stop a mother for loving and caring for her daughter.
In the meantime, a case for the intelligence takes on a group of guys who want nothing but justice for what this chemical company had done to one of the suspect's little girl.
These gone in a YMCA and goes on a rampage but not like you would think. They planned it and shot only less than seven people.
Voight and Al talk to one of the suspects that was caught. Voight talks to him but doesn't budge at all. So, when Atwater and Roman takes a look underneath the highway, they spot a bullet case and soon sees a camera.
When they play back the video, the suspects had taken off in a garbage truck not even five minutes ago. Atwater ran towards and demanded an officer's car. Roman and Atwater chase the truck and it stops in a building. They hold fire until everyone gets there.
Voight talks to Erin after a quick brief with the Captain on the back story of these suspects. Voight doesn't want Erin to spin out. This is after Erin was dragging from a hangover.
Erin and Ruzek interviews the company executive and his lawyer. After dodging the question of why these guys would be going after these people. Erin goes off and the executives decline to talk any more.
Later on, Voight talks with the suspects, they have hostages and demanded things that they want in 30 minutes. Voight tells them the truth that they can't get it in that amount of time. The suspect tells Voight that he'll take out a hostage if their demands aren't meant. When Voight got a feeling after that conversation, he goes out there without a bulletproof vest and his gun and walks out there.
He talks to them Voight to Suspect, as Voight does best. He ask to see the hostages so he knows that they're safe. They show him one and takes them back. Then Voight starts talking and with an earpiece, Erin tells him the story of these guys.
Voight talks to one of them and walks a bit back near the open, which gave Halstead a clear shot to shoot the suspect. And after that Voight takes the other one down after the guy gave him a couple of hits.
But with these guys caught there's still one more that's out there. And it's a younger suspect that they're after. Burgess found out that she cleared the suspect because he didn't have gun residue on him. They got the idea of who the suspect is going after.
They get to the executive's board meeting where they search the place for the suspect. Erin goes by herself into through the kitchen and in the halls until the suspect puts a gun on her head. Erin talks to him and from what I got I think she took it behind too far when she tells him to shoot her. Bold but smart because the suspect wouldn't do it.
After that Erin just left and we see her talking with her mother again at the bar. As Bunny gives Erin her drink, she starts talking about an old boyfriend that she use to go out with long ago. Well, that turned out to be bad news as they went to his apartment and well, let's just say that there were drugs on the table.
Erin has really gone to the dark side. She blames herself for Nadia's death. We'll get a bit more next week of where she's going and what she's probably going to do. She might rethink her career. Who knows?
Overall I enjoyed this episode. I was at time on the edge of my seat. There were some tense moments in this episode. For one, Erin and telling that guy to shoot her. The way she was telling him I had no idea if she was playing him or telling him to do it.
It felt kind of weird seeing that Burgess and Atwater switch spots this week. Burgess hopes that she stays with the team but soon Atwater will be cleared from his accident last week and will be back with Intelligence and Burgess back with Roman.
Overall I give this episode a 8/10. IT was very good.
Next week is the season finale of Chicago PD. It's one finale that we can't miss at all. Along with Mysteries of Laura and Law & Order SVU, it's literally called Season Finale Wednesday.
You can catch the season finale of Chicago PD next Wednesday at 10/9c on NBC.
