Flashback: Life In Pieces "#TBT: House Destiny Introduction Retirement"

It's a real Throwback Thursday for the Short family this week.

"#TBT: House Destiny Introduction Retirement" refers to when the characters were at their memorable and happiest moments. From Jen and Greg faking an engagement to buy a house and then actually get engaged for real. They had to find the ring, thinking it was fake, in the trash, and Greg proposed to Jen. We see how the Short family met Tim, and it was quick to love John, but it ends up learning that Heather is pregnant.

Even the first time Matt and Colleen had their first "so-called" date, he was waiting for his blind date (that was blind) and had Greg take over for him while he comforts Colleen from a breakup. Seeing John on his last trip as an airline pilot, when his second pilot talked to him about the final landing, John decided to stay up in the air for a while. Trying to talk him down, Joan tells him that she's with him on this retirement journey, but when he lands, he is taken to his boss for what the hell happened in the air.

With hilarious, brilliant, well-performed performances from the cast, this is one of the show's best episodes. It doesn't have to be that big or that small compared to other shows on television. I just enjoyed watching these characters' backstories of what led them to where they are today, from buying the house they live in now to being married with family together and retiring. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Life In Pieces on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on CBS.

The Birds and the GED: Champions "Matt Bomer Poster"

With Matthew carrying a deep secret, Vince thinks that Michael having a Matt Bomer poster in his room leads to a discussion of the birds and the bees.

"Matt Bomer Poster" was hilarious, smart and very clever with a strong character development of the characters. When Vince sees a poster of Matt Bomer in Michael's room, he worries that he's doing something that leads him to having the talk. But after trying to make it fun and all, Vince tells Michael that when he's ready to have the talk, he'll be ready.

But a shocking moment comes when learning that Matthew didn't actually graduate from school. When Michael learns about it, after spying on him, he helps Matthew study for the GED but fails and tells Vince about it. But Vince helps Matthew put him back into school again.

I'd very much enjoyed this episode a lot. From the awkward moments between Vince and Michael talk about the birds and the bees to the funny moments of Matthew and Michael dealing with the GED and school issue. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Champions Thursdays at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.

Father! A.P. Bio "Walleye"

Does Jack's plan finally get Miles once and for all?

With Jack finally getting what is probably the well thought out plan to get back at Miles by pretending that one of Jack's A.P. Bio students to be Miles' son that he never knew. Using Devin, the plan worked quickly and as they spend time together Devin enjoyed it more and more and Jack's plan seemed to be not where he wanted it to go.

But when it finally came down, Devin does it in front of his classmates and Jack watching from outside the classroom. Miles runs being upset and Jack, coming in happy but soon runs off to apologizes to him about the whole thing. Miles sees that Jack was doing it because of jealously but really it looks like Miles is jealous of what Jack has. But it doesn't end there.

But I must get into the Principal Durbin having an idea for the school prom being the theme to the film Congo (based on the novel by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, Westworld and ER). When the teachers didn't think it was a good idea, he lets his disappointment show but then agrees to have his theme for the prom.

Getting back to Jack and Miles, after apologizing to Miles, the next day Jack gets a call from him about a surprising opportunity: to take his position at Stanford (the one that Jack wanted all along). But before he could say anything it end with a cliffhanger.

"Walleye" was another good episode that delivered enough humor and wit. It was a good story with mostly the humorist moments coming between Jack and his class about how to sell one of them as Miles' son. Also the Durbin and his idea about the prom theme was pretty good, but it did give me the idea to rewatch the movie Congo. The episode had good character development and the cast puts on a good and hilarious performances. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch A.P. Bio Thursday at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

Twist and Shocks: The Blacklist "Anna-Garcia Duerte (No. 25)"/"Zarak Mosadek (No. 23)"

With a new episode of The Blacklist tonight, here's a quick recap of the last couple of episodes.

"Anna-Garcia Duerte (No. 25)" 

As Red get in contact with an associate of the Nash Syndicate, he gets shot and killed while on the phone with Red. Thinking that it was Garvey, Red sets Liz and the Task Force on the case in order to recover the evidence that's they need to bring down him.

But the case takes a total left turn when learning that the associate's daughter happens to be his wife (now widow) and it doesn't end there when other "husbands" have been killed as well. The killings have been of the hands of Anna-Garicia Duerte, who was one of the girls that she helps killing their husbands. The one person that talked Anna to turn herself in was Samar, who might know a bit about what she's gone through.

In the meantime, Liz figures out that Red was the one that ordered the witness to disappear, but tells her that the witness isn't reliable for them to take down Garvey, but the guy is safe. But one thing is for sure, Liz will learn what's in that suit case one way or another.

The episode was very good as well as given a stunning twist to the case of the week. Also the build up to Liz getting Garvey has been breathtakingly good when it put the relationship with Red and Liz to another level. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

"Zarak Mosadek (Mo. 23)"

When Red gets the information about someone who knows Garvey, he tries to get Liz and the Task Force to come to Paris, but only getting the Task Force. There Red and the team try to get to one man who's son has been held hostage. Call it what you want, Red has one of the best times hanging and dealing with help to get to the guy. When saving the man and his son, Red get him to make a phone call to someone who knows Garvey, his boss.

Meantime, with Liz not going with Red and the team, she goes on her mission with Aram. They spy and steal documents about Garvey from another federal officer. Liz and Aram spy on Garvey at a pub, who doesn't do anything but eat and enjoy his time, but spots someone that he talks with and hugs when he leaves. There Liz takes her and asked her questions about Garvey, let alone show her the whole evidence board. She tells her that Garvey has been a good person to her, but tells Liz the shocking moment of the episode....that Garvey told her to keep away from her father.....Raymond Reddingotn.

Fun, suspense and most of all shocking when it comes to the final scene of the episode. It goes to show you that The Blacklist is still on it's game when it comes to shocking storyline moments like this one. I just can't wait to see how this Family Reunion will go now. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch The Blacklist Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC.

A Parent's Love: Chicago Med "The Parent Trap"

It was all about the parents in this week's episode of Chicago Med.

"The Parent Trap" serves the title purpose when talking about what this episode is all about: parents. From Reese's learning that her father is gonna die and figuring out if she should talk to him one last time, but she does it becomes an awkward moment as he talks out of his head. Either way, he did get the heart transplant thanks to Rhodes, who pushes for it.

For Rhodes, he learns that Bekker has been seeing his dad after she gets a huge basket of flowers. Or course, we know that Conner and his dad has had a family feud since the beginning of the series and after the heart surgery, Rhodes opens to her about it situation and his feelings for her.

Natalie and Will are forced to work with each other thanks to Maggie when a kid comes in with a bad bowel that's required surgery but learns that the kid has panda syndrome (yep it's real, look it up). But Will doesn't think the kid has it and that their family doctor is just pushing meds on him. It draws tension between Will and Natalie again but it opens up about how they're medical opinion isn't being heard. But the kid's mother holds a personal secret that her son doesn't have pandas syndrome but OCD.

April and Noah treat an elderly man, who comes in with what seems to be drug related but his daughter fights that he doesn't take any drugs. With the test results indicating that he's positive for drugs, it turns out that the man's coat contain powder of fentanyl, which turns the ED on emergency lockdown of that wing due to being the strongest type. It puts Goodwin in a bad situation with the hospital board committee when she confronts them about putting the ED on bypass til the drug is cleaned out.

Ethan get angry with his sister, as she doesn't return the car in time for his daily visit to the homeless kids that he's been helping. But when she finally comes, Ethan treats a kid who seems to have cancer, but needs to inform his foster parents, for which the kid doesn't want. Ethan's sister helps him by getting Ethan not to tell the kid's foster parents, but he does when the results prove right. But Ethan not only learns about the kid's decision to leave but also his sister's view on it too as she was a runaway as well. The kid did comes back to the ED, sees his foster parents, and gets treated but the relationship might not be there between them.

This episode was as good as it could be with the moments of Reese and her father being one of the best of the episode to #Manstead moments to even the worried moment between Goodwin and the board members when the hospital attorney tells her about how this could get her fired. The character development in this episode was as good with memorable moments and performances from the cast. Just three more episodes left til the end of the season, something big feels like is going to happen. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Med Tuesdays at 10/9c on NBC.

Acceptance: Supergirl "In Search of Lost Time"

Acceptances is the hardest thing to acknowledge.

"In Search of Lost Time" is an hour of an episode that dives into our characters dealing with and facing their feelings with the changes that they have gone through in the last year, mainly. But call it what you will, helping or not, J'onn's father's illness and prayers pretty much helped Kara and J'onn to accepting what was in front of them: Kara's feelings towards Mon-El (during their training with capes) and J'onn trying to help his father in a distress state.

But the main one happens to be with Lena helping Samantha, who figures out that she's Reign. When she wakes Sam up, Lena explains to her what is happening, but Sam wouldn't accept it. But after trying to piss her off, Sam did see the truth about her condition after seeing a video recording of her using laser powers and super strengthen. Sam does accept what's going on and tells Lena to not let Ruby see her til she's better.

And with all that Lena has been going through, she's pretty much accepts her relationship with James after he's been trying to check on her in the last week. But the episode ends with a creepy cliffhanger when Kara and Mon-El fly around the city star seeing dead birds flying from the sky, something to look forward to next week's episode.

The episode was such an emotional episode that dealt with friends helping friends, but a son stepping up to help his father in the most realistic and dramatic way that it hits close to home just a bit. The performances from Katie McGrath, Odette Annable and David Hardwood was outstanding with such strong character development and also gives moments that make you shed tears and feel their pain.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Supergirl Mondays at 8/7c on The CW.

Rewards Are Paidless: Life in Pieces "Portrait Plagiarism Renter Scam"

From getting paid by painting to thinking of an original story even though it's not, here's a recap of this week's episode of Life In Pieces.

"Renter Portrait Plagiarism Scam" was another episode full of laughs, life lessons, and how to check up on what you would assume is someone's work. Tyler and Clementine hosting an Airbnb in their tiny home leads to Tim and Heather dealing with their renter issues. Let alone when Jen helps her client, who's a painter, get paid with his art piece, a family portrait. The finishing product doesn't win Jen over, but Greg, Matt, and others with its unique style.

It doesn't stop there when Sophia listens to her classmate's story about where missing socks go when they can't be found and uses it to help Matt and Colleen with their second book idea. But when Sophia tells her classmate that she thinks she stole from him, she realizes that the concept is already a book, leaving both Matt and Colleen in an awkward situation with a publisher. 

But the last story leaves us with a life lesson about IRS scams, as it's been used in the other stories in this episode. But it comes to John and Joan, who think that after firing their accountant, John forgot something and tries to fix it until Heather comes over and explains that it's a scam. But do you think it ends there? No, as they get an email from Joan's nephew about how he needs money incorrectly using English.

It's another funny and well-written episode that proves that this show deserves another season on CBS. This show is one of my favorite family sitcoms and comedies from the Eye Network, along with Kevin Can Wait. Yeah, it's so different that you don't see, but also, the cast is fantastic, and the writing has been so good. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Life In Pieces on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on CBS.

Family Disappointment: Champions "Grandma Dearest"

When Michael ask Vince about his grandmother for school, but what Michael doesn't know is that Vince's mother hasn't have a clue that he exist yet.

As Michael tries to get Vince to introduce him to his grandmother. But in exchange to see Vince's mother, Michael helps Vince with his gym's website.

It takes the whole episode to understand that Vince and Matthew's mother isn't the right person to have a relationship. When they get ready for her visit, she shows up a no show but her husband comes and tells them her excuse. When Michael sees that he understands and decides that it's up to her to see him instead of him.

Meanwhile, when updating the Champions website, Michael recruits one of the gym members to be part of a website video of her journey. But when they get things ready, their recruit becomes a no show thanks to Ruby going on a date with her and abandoning her. It all became good thanks to the rest of the gm crew getting their recruit back and filming the video but also added to it with her asking Ruby for her hand in marriage.

"Grandma Dearest" was another hilarious and strong written episode I've enjoyed this episode a lot. The cast was amazing once again. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Champions Thursdays at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.

Chop Chop Glory: A.P. Bio "Eight Pigs and a Rat"

From Principal Durban trying to show how innervating the school can be to figuring out who squealed about Jack's plan for biology class. It all relays on one student to get through this nightmare.

When Principal Durban is a finalist for the innervating principal of the year award for his school, he gets his teachers to find something innervating so they can do with students and show the superintendent as well. But it turns out that all the teachers were doing the same thing in different subjects all with a volcano. 

With everything not going the way he wanted it, it all relays on Jack and his class. But for Jack, he's dealing with a snitch who told about what he did with the baby pigs for their class experiment. As Jack torched the class to his ability, he finally got the answer from Heather, but when he called his buddy, who had them and was about to shoot them at Devin's place: turns out they exploded in the canon.

But when Heather learns about the baby pigs are gone, she throws a fit and tries to trash his car. She explains that she was looking forward to the experiment and working with Dan, who she has a crush on. The next day, just as Jack brings a dead squirrel, apparently Heather brings a full grown dead pig to class for the experiment. 

When Durban and the rest come to watch, Heather takes over with some amazing set of skills, as she works at her dad's butcher's shop. But Sarika calls upon Jack to talk about one of the pigs organs, for which he calls her bluff and teaches as he really knew biology.

With the superintendent happy, Durban happy with some pork loins, Jack thrilled too but rewards Heather for what she pulled off by cleaning up the room with Dan.

"Eight Pigs and a Rat" was a hilarious episode from start to finish. The cast puts a good performance with character development. From Howerton, Brielle, Oswalt, but mainly Arm puts on her funniest performance of the season so far. Whether it's the teachers pulling the same teaching, volcanoes to Jack torching his students on who sent a message to Durban about given away the pigs away. Probably one of my favorite episodes so far. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch A.P. Bio Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c on NBC. 

Powerless: Chicago PD "Saved"

If you think that someone was going to be saved in this episode in this episode, think again as it holds another meaning and one hell of an hour for one member of the Intelligence Unit.

The episode starts off with Voight getting a call from a girl named Hannah that he remembers from the past, she asked about getting help but wouldn't tell him what it was about. When she leaves for the restroom, she actually leaves and Voight sees her get abducted by someone and drove off. Voight and Ruzek chase until they hear gun shots at a local bank where a couple of robbers where there stealing and shooting.

After the crew were gone, they see that it was the same vehicle that took Hannah. The Intelligence Unit work to find the car and find whoever knew Hannah. You can see throughout the episode that Voight was eager to find this girl and help her, even if she was later caught on camera holding a gun during an arm robbery.

But the truth comes out as Voight tells everyone that Hannah got his card from his wife, who was her school teacher at the time. Explains more that his wife thought could help her who wasn't going on a good path (the same thing what he did with Erin but making visits). But after Justin's death, he didn't hold up on his promise of visiting her and finds that being with this boyfriend of hers is the one leading her to the wrong path.

After finding the members from the shooting, they search and find where Hannah and her boyfriend where located at a car dealership. There it become a stand still and Voight decides to go in and try to talk them down, but it didn't turn out the way he wanted it as the boyfriend walks with Hannah outside and the cops shoot them both dead.

If that wasn't enough for Voight to handle, things aren't looking good for Al when it comes to getting the investigation off of his back. Voight is certain that he can get this fix and tries to get one of the Assistant  State's Attorney to help but really, Woods was just a step further to him and wants him to confess to his doings. Voight realizes that things are coming down pretty bad and even powerless to say the less. As he comes home, he views several of his family photos and picks up one with him, Al and Erin and just breaks it along with the rest of the photos.

"Saved" goes from the causal start for any Chicago PD episode to fast character driven and well developed episode that brings the emotions from the screen to my heart and mind. Whether it's Voight searching for Hannah to save or trying to help Al with the investigation, you would think that with Voight being Voight he would get the job done and celebrate with a glass of whiskey, but in this case you seem him become powerless to do anything. The performance from Jason Beghe's performance was amazing, probably one of the best episodes in a while to watch.

After this episode I don't know what comes next, will Voight come clean and help Al out of this serious investigation? I really don't think that Voight will take things to another level and take out Woods.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago PD Wednesdays at 10/9c on NBC.

Broken Hearts: Chicago Med "An Inconvenient Truth"

A simple surgical procedure goes wrong; a mother goes against the doctor's advice on her child, while one doctor deals with her father's illness, while another learns the meaning of "a break."

The Rhodes-Bekker relationship might not be quite as popular with the viewers, but it's been one hell of a story arc with balancing their feelings with one another with their work. When Bekker and Rhodes performed a surgical procedure that should be so common, it turns out that someone left an instrument in the patient's heart. When learning that it was Bekker, the one that left it in there, as soon as it was almost over, she let Rhodes finish it. It leads the two into another heated conversation, but he confronts Latham. Rhodes takes the blame for it, but in this case, he'll keep an eye on both of them for the upcoming surgical separation of the twins.

Goodwin deals with a challenging situation when her godson comes in with severe burns along with his friend. Thinking that his friend had a troubled past, her godson started it and tested positive for drugs. It led Goodwin to confront him to tell the truth, which led to his mother upset and maybe pulling their funding from the hospital.

Natalie and Charles deal with a child who looks like a girl on the outside but a boy on the inside. When the mother learns of her daughter's condition, she wants them to take her testicles out because she wants her little girl to be a girl. It puts Charles and Natalie in a challenging situation, which leads them to the hospital committee to make the decision, which goes to the mother. But when the child was suffering severe pain and had to go to the OR, her mother changed her mind and did not take all of the testicles out.

Reese deals with her father as he comes in with heart failure. Rhodes and everyone try to comfort her father, which she doesn't want anyone to do. She goes by her work but also watches a patient, who's on his deathbed, to have his son come, but instead, he doesn't when he says he did. April and Noah comfort him in his last minutes, even though the patient thought that Noah was his son, which was one of the heartwarming moments of the episode. In the end, Reese goes up to see her father but only to see and walk by his room without going in.

After taking care of Goodwin's godchild, Halstead tries to be there for Natalie when she's dealing with her patient. As he lends his ear to her, she asks him out for dinner, but after saying yes, Will decides if he should tell her about his one night with another woman. When he meets Natalie, he tells her about that night with another doctor and that he doesn't understand what "a break" is. She's shocked and tells him that "a break" doesn't mean being with other people, and quickly she leaves.

"An Inconvenient Truth" was another intense episode dealing with some strong storylines from Rhodes and Bekker to even Natalie and Dr. Charles and Reese, who's trying to figure out if she should see her dad or not. I think that in the next episode, she will see her father. I could understand why she didn't want to see him after what he had done to her. I wonder if losing a donor for the hospital will cost  Goodwin her job. I don't think it will. When all seems to go well for #Manstead, it turns terrible once again, but hey, at least Will told Natalie the truth about it. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Med Tuesdays at 10/9c on NBC.

Family Bond: Supergirl "Schott Through the Heart"

When a death in Winn's family brings him and his mother closer, revelations are revealed for another family, even the secret that Mon-El tells Kara. 

The gang is back, and what better way to be back than to do a Karaoke Night!!! With the night of fun, things are halted when Winn learns that his father, the Toyman, has died. While at the funeral, Winn's mother shows up hoping to talk and connect with him, but he isn't for it. But when the body of the Toyman was being lowered, it exploded.

Winn's mother tries to bond with Winn even at the usual time, even when Flying Toy Monkeys invade the city and attack the DEO. At a certain point, we learn about Winn's mother and why she hasn't been a part of his life for the last 20 years due to his father threatening to kill him. She also holds some skills, taking the Toy Monkey apart, thinking that maybe she's part of it, but when Winn's mother finds a card in the monkey and takes it, she finds the person who's been doing this, the Toymaker's former employee.

Winn, Kara, Jimmy, and Mon-El come to some obstacles with dangerous toys, from a giant T-Rexand flaming-throwing fire truck to even making Kara into a collector's toy in a special plastic. But Winn saves his mother but goes to his father's former employee and uses what he learned from his father against her, mainly the razor yo-yo to the leg as she was strangely him.

Meanwhile, after hearing that J'onn and his father are moving to a new apartment, Alex gets jealous for not being invited and invites her to dinner. But something is wrong with J'onn's father, as his memory seems problematic. Alex addresses J'onn's father. It tells him that he needs to tell J'onn about it, but instead, hees her out. Alex tells J'onn but only asks his father about it, and as soon as he does, J'onn and Alex share a friendly, fatherly daughter. There have been so many surprising moments in this episode, one being J'onn's father. Still, Mon-El tells Kara about the secret that Imra told him. That the real reason they are here in the 21st Century was to find the Third World Killer and that in the future, he would turn into Blight. And that's not all. Jimmy has been calling Lena for the last couple of days, but when she calls back, she tells him she's been working hard the last few days. But she's been working to help with Samantha's condition at Lexcrop warehouse.

"Schott Through the Heart" was a fantastic episode and one hell of a way to welcome back the show from its two-month hiatus. The Winn and his mother's storyline was brilliant, and Laurie Metcalf was also brilliant as always as Winn's mother. The episode had such a strong character development, and I think it sets the tone for the rest of the season. Do you believe that Lena figures out what's wrong with Samantha?  I don't know about you, but I got chills when hearing the name Blight (for those familiar with Batman Beyond). I can't wait to see where this will be going.  Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Supergirl on Mondays at 8/7c on The CW.

What's your Breaking Point? Chicago PD "Breaking Point"

What is your breaking point? That's the one question that's asked in this episode not just to capture a suspect but also during an investigation for a member of the Intelligence Unit.

When an Alderman is found murdered, Voight and the team try to investigate but gets pressure from the victim's family, due to their political status in the neighborhood. But as their investigation leads to the victim's son's doing, he gets shot in the process and gets Voight to realize that what they have is a drug business problem with local gangs.

The team gets a tip about a shooter and takes a suspect in, but instead of talking he doesn't give a whole lot. Voight and Al think that the suspect is covering for someone, which Voight gives the guy the boot but followed and placed a microphone in his coat and when he calls someone talking about how they are close and informs his cousin Lamar about it.

The both capture both Lamar and his cousin and try to get them to spell. None of them do, Lamar doesn't take the blame and his cousin does but Al and Voight pulls off the question" what's his breaking point?" Which happens to be that the cousin has sickle cell anemia and needs special pain relief but holds it to him to talk or he won't get it, so he talked blamed it on his cousin Lamar.

Meanwhile, Al is being questioned and investigated about how a witness seen him and another woman, Erin, dumping a body at a construction site. Al asked Voight for help with money but he wouldn't help due to the money being a trust fund for his grandson. But Voight gives his word to help him out no matter what, but when it comes down to the end of the day the question that hangs to Al is what's his breaking point? That kid they got to talking was his sickle cell, for Voight it's Erin, but what's Al's?

"Breaking Point" was a very good episode with exciting drama, mainly between Al and Voight as Woods tries to bring down Voight for anything. Hell, even Ruzek can't get anything from Woods, as his talking goat. But the case of the week was good but not as strong like the others, but given the car chase scene was a killer to watch. I can't wait to see where this is going how Voight and Al will handle this and if their partnership/friendship will be in jeopardy. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Chicago PD Wednesdays at 10/9c on NBC.

"Both Sides Now" was a thrilling of an episode with good character development and performance from mainly Krys Marshall as Julia Freeman/Purity, with such thrilling and chilling And not to mention the bond between J'onzz and Mon-El was not only a heartwarming moment but solid character development and watching Mon-El opening up to Imra about his feelings and then get a twist from her was a total shock. I'm thinking that they're there to help Kara or maybe that both Kara and Mon-El are meant to be. I guess we'll find out soon. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"For Good" was a good episode, had a good mystery story between Lena and Edge about who's attacking who. The Alex and Samantha storyline was really good. The performances was good from the cast and the writing as well. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

Making Friends and Celebrate: Champions "Vincemas"

When Vince and Matthew plan on a weekend camping trip for Michael, it may not be the kind of trip for Michael to go.

"Vincemans" was another installment of great character development, writing and performance from he cast. The episode deals with how Michael tries to fit in and make news friends because Vince gives him advice and wants him to be like he was in high school, but it leads to Michael joining an Indian group that aren't really who they seem to be, mainly going clubbing at night for example.

Also with Vince planning to be gone for the weekend, Ruby and the crew plan for a "Vincemas" event but Vince learns about it and makes one hilarious of a scene when coming up behind a partying Ruby about how Vince isn't hear.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch Champions Thursdays at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.

Best Buddies: A.P. Bio "Durbin Crashes"

This episode was one of Patton Oswalt's best ones yet.

As Durbin hears the rest of the teachers talking about how they love a hit sci fi show, that seems to be Midnight, Texas, and wants to ignore any spoilers because he hasn't seen any of the episodes yet due to his wife not ready to watch it with him. After asking Jake for advise about the situation, he takes what Jack agrees and implies it, which leads to him getting kicked out of his house and living staying with Jack.

But when he stays with Jack, it because one weird stay as Durbin has sleeping walking issues and also tries to be Jack's wingman when meeting his former ex high school girlfriend, who happens to be split with her boyfriend. Jack tries to fix it between Durbin and his wife but it turns that they are both weird and lets Durbin stay for another few weeks.

Meanwhile, after getting his students to search Devin with disturbing words to get it trending, the students had a better idea that would help Jack but also get them to learn Biology, which was to find a way to plant murderous evidence on Devin. But after it seems to go well and too much learning, Jack stops it and gets them to use google to search Devin with disturbing words connecting to him.

"Durbin Crashes" was a good episode, mainly watching Oswalt's performance really stood out with good character development and just darn funny. Even the students trying to come up with a way to plant a murder on Devin was pretty funny with the way how they pursued Jack to allow it. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch A.P. Bio Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

Searching and Confronting: Life In Pieces "Sitter Dating Sister Mattress"

This week's episode of Life In Piece was another full of funny moments.

Whether it's from Greg and Jen finding the perfect babysitter from an email online babysitting app, that quickly lands awkwardly for both the sitter as she's a bit wacky. But Jen and Greg make it awkward as they act like they're picking a first online date that lands them back to watching Lark again. Even Sam and Heather's story of learning about Sam's boyfriend, who seems terrific, turns out that he wasn't too faithful and had more than a few girlfriends.

The two best stories of the episode were Matt learning that Colleen's sister would be a surrogate for their baby but thinks he might have slept with her one night years ago. But when confronted about it, they didn't and announced to the family until Greg realized that he had slept with her more than four times.

And when Joan and John search for a mattress for their bed, it turns into an all-day, trying out and testing each one. Overthinking is more like it, and watching Joan sick and tired of it puts the situation between her and John as something downright funny.

This episode was satisfactory; like other episodes, it made me laugh and connect with related stories. There was good character development, and the performances from the cast were good, too. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

A Trouble Friendship: Chicago PD "Payback"

When a robbery turns into a homicide, the intelligence unit will investigate to find out that the suspect is someone close.

When Ruzek and Atwater meet up with Ruzek's CI, Ray, who happens to be a former cop, trying to get information. They get a call of an apartment robbery that also turned homicide when a little boy got shot in the head while just laying on the couch.

The investigation lead to a Latin gangs, but it seems that the Intel that Ruzek and Atwater got was false and questioned Ray about it. But the investigation lead to another way that all of this could be connected to a dirty cop, who happens to be in the narcotics unit, who's had records of making connections to gang members. But it turns out that the cop happens to be set up after she realized that she let her Intel use her place a couple of times. That Intel happens to be Ray. 

Ruzek and Atwater try to stop him as Ray was packing up at his boat but Ruzek crashes his party and the two meet face to face as he tries to get Ruzek to shoot him. But that wasn't going to happen as Ray was bluffing to Ruzek about having a gun thanks to Atwater tough tackles.

Meanwhile, it seems that Al's luck isn't going the way that he or Voight was hoping for as Voight got inside information about the witness who saw Al and Erin dumping that body. Al remembers him, who was trying to break into his car that night, and wants to see him. But Voight won't let that happen as he doesn't want him to jeopardize this.

Voight meets with the witness, who thinks that he was selling drugs but was just lending some money from a friend and not to mention spotted him at an addiction group meeting. Al gets worried and tries to call their bluff by filling out his retirement papers, but later on Al battles with demons as he plants drugs in the witness' car and gets busted for it. But word gets to Trudy and Voight that Al's pension has been on hold.

"Payback" was a good episode from start to finish. It may not be one of the best episodes this season but it sure was entertaining and satisfying to watch. I find the character development between Ray and Ruzek okay as there wasn't much to go on but just that it seems that they were former partners but never really give why Ray was like this to Ruzek. Overall, I give this episode 8/10.

Bold Decisions and Shocking Revelations: Chicago Med "Devil in Disguise"

From a bold surgical procedure to two bold medical cases and even a bold decision that could help someone's career. Here's a recap of this week's Chicago Med.

When conjoined twins comes in, a couple weeks early before their separation surgery, for a heart issue, the team thinks that the best way is to move ahead the separation and to save one over the other. But Rhodes thinks there's a better way to save both and it divides both him and Bekker of their opinions on the situation. With the team informs the parents of the first procedure without informing them about Rhodes' plan.

But Rhodes gets the final word as he sneaks and talks to the parents about how he could save both and they agreed with his plan. With the team pissed, mostly the pediatrician, Rhodes performs with some complications at first but goes smooth and the twins are safe and ready for their separation in the weeks to come.

Meanwhile, Halstead tries to help a father, who might be suffering from a misdiagnosis, but when they learn of what he has the only thing that he's concern is the payment. This was due to the father's decision of getting a cheaper insurance so his son could go to college with the money he tried to save. He gave Halstead an earful of why couldn't he let him die. It's given Halstead another week of trying to help a patient even if they don't want it. He tries to talk to Natalie about it but she tries to avoid him at all cost after she wanted a break. But it gave us a nice Halstead-Rhodes bromance at the bar but leaves with that pediatrician sitting next to Halstead and ordered him a drink. Looks like that break with Natalie might be soon break up.

Talking about medical cases, Charles and Reese tries to diagnosis a patient, who's mother thinks she's possessed by the devil. But the father, otherwise thinks it has to due with her mother trapping her at her home and gives some bad vibes from Reese, who's kind of reliving what she sees in her relationship with her father. But when Charles and Reese tries to talk with the patient, she was talking gibberish and wetting the bed, which lead to Charles to talk with the parents and asked them about a certain book that he figured out she was saying.

Once he read the book, the patient was freaking out and even talking in words, for which the mother figured out why she was scared of the book. The father has done bad things to her when she was a little girl and as soon as he had enough, he walks out but Reese gives him a earful til Charles orders her to stop. 

Also Maggie could be facing termination from last week's doing but she gets word that if she had her EMT licence with an updated card, she would be safe. But wasn't the case as her card had expired two weeks ago and goes beyond to Barry for help to get a card renewed before her hearing. But as she got her card and headed up to the hearing, the heating was cancelled due to the family sticking up for her for saving their daughter.

And Ethan accepts his sister to stay with him for a couple of weeks. But when April finds out that she disobeyed his order of not having anyone over, she gives her a chance.

"Devil in Disguise" was amazing episode that kept me intrigue for the whole hour with some of the most interesting stories and character developments, mainly Charles and Reese's patient (which was  my favorite storyline of the episode), Halstead's third encounter with another patient that doesn't want help and trying to get Natalie's opinion. The Rhodes' story was good, there wasn't much doing between Bekker and him that I thought there was going to be. I was worried that Maggie would be the one to go, but glad she's staying. I would assume that her and Barry are okay with how things went while back. I'm not liking the last scene with Halstead and the pediatrician getting equated with drinks. Wouldn't that make the break move into break up with Manning?

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

Beauty is Within the Items Itself: Life in Pieces "Pageant Bike Animals Jerky"

From a toddler rising to star beauty pageants to a musical about keeping your stuffed animals, this week's episode of Life in Pieces was another hit episode.

"Pageant Bike Animals Jerky" was a nonstop laughing episode of fun humor and outstanding performances. From Colleen getting Lark into the beauty pageant by dressing up, shaking her padded butt, and dancing like she was about to be on Toddlers and Tiaras to trying to get Joan's bike back after it was stolen, finding it on Craigslist and take it back with the help from Greg, Matt, and Tim.

But the one amazingly brilliant story was the musical story of how Sophia should keep her stuffed animals even though Heather doesn't think she's using them anymore. It was catchy, witty, and caught what I believe was the emotion of the connection between child and their toys that means that most.

The last story wasn't as much as the other three, but it still was funny enough to be a little story.

It was a brilliant episode, and after it aired, it should be renewed for a fourth season. If the other shows on CBS's Thursday Night all be renewed, why not this one? The writing seemed to be good, and the performance from Giselle Eisenberg, Hanks, Brandt, Angelique Cabral, and Wiest. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Life in Pieces on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on CBS.

Playing the Favorites: Champions "My Fair Uncle"

Just as questions are being asked about how Vince and Matthew are taking care of Michael, until an unexpected guest makes his a visit.

Questioning how Vince takes care of Michael, the school has him and Matthew read Michael's paper about his daily morning that describes his father gets to sleep with a ton of women. Matthew tries to get Vince to hold off on dating for awhile, but when an attractive woman comes up to Vince about wanting to go out with him, he turns her down.

But that would change when Michael's uncle makes a visit and asked to hang out with him and take him around New York. At first it didn't seem right to see how an uncle treats his son better than he can but when Vince gets a message from that girl earlier, he accepts the offer.

Just as Michael is having a great time with his uncle, Matthew jealous calls Priya about it and learns that her brother is a user of drugs. He stops Vince and the get going to get Michael back just in time as Michael was asked to pee in a cup for his uncle.

Later on Vince apologies to Michael about the way that he has been around him since living with him and Matthew and will hold off dating for a while. But at the end when Dana comes in with the new plunger, there were something between them that could spell out romance.

"My Fair Uncle" was another strong episode that had good character development and down right hilarious moments. So much mentioning of the Broadway show Mean Girls, for which if Tina Fey sings at the end: I want to go to there and see. I really thought this was such a good episode and performance for Andy Favreau as Matthew. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Crying on My Mind: A. P. Bio "Rosemary's Boyfriend"

When Jack gets a knock at his door, he doesn't expect to see who will be reputation there. At the same time, the students face the life of caring for babies that aren't like any other babies. Here's a recap!

Just as Jack starts his morning off, he gets a knock at the door with a surprise to him: his mother's boyfriend. Brandon comes with gifts of flowers and condoms and hopes his mother will be there, but sadly, he doesn't get the memo of her death. All of this pisses off Jack, and even to make things worst for him, Brandon asks if they could both be at her grave and have a good cry moment.

Jack takes his issues to his students, who are dealing with the crisis of being parents with loud artificial babies. Trying to get some ideas from them, he separates them into two groups to reduce the noise. But Sarika finds Brandon's daughter, Sadie, a lawyer, and Jack visits her to talk about her dad, but soon has sex.

The next day, Jack brags about his one night with Sadie and tries to use it on Brandon, hoping that would piss him off. But it doesn't, and it just grows him closer and more pleasant, for which Jack tries to sucker punch him but fails and gets taken down.

The following day, Jack returns to class and talks to the students about what had happened. He suddenly snapped and took every baby in the school and had them go for a swim, which got those babies quiet and made him think that Brandon wasn't such a wrong person.

Meanwhile, Stef gets asked out by the janitor, who turns him down and tells him that her friend Mary has a crush on him. He confronts her about it and turns her down, but she isn't going to take it. He tries to get him to fall for her but instead gets the other janitor to fall in love with her. She then turns the tables on him about how her friend Stef has a crush on him.

"Rosemary's Boyfriend" was a much better episode than last week. It had good humor and wit, not to mention good character development. I couldn't get enough of watching how Jack deals with his students dealing with their artificial babies. Michael Gross was excellent, not Emmy award-worthy, but still good. All in all, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch A.P. Bio on Thursdays at 8:30/7:30 on NBC.

Serious Circumstances: Chicago Med "Lock It Down"

When a baby is missing at Med, the place goes on lockdown, which leads to severe circumstances.

As Halstead treats a baby and is about to send him up for more tests, it turns out that the baby has gone missing, and leads Goodwin to lockdown Med til the baby is found. Goodwin gets Dr. Charles and Reese to help understand who would take the baby and where they would take it. As they search the hospital, Charles and Reese express their opinion that the person could be a mother who had lost her child before, and searching for records leads to one person who happens to be caught on camera dressed as a nurse.

She thought that she went to the newly built OB/pediatrics ward, but it turns out that she was in the old building holding the baby. Charles tries to reason with her, but Reese not only reasons with her but lies to her when she takes the baby, and the CPD takes her.

With the lockdown in effect, it doesn't do well when a trauma patient needs a cardiologist, but instead gets Ethan and April trying to fix the guy's heart. They face-time Rhodes and Bekker, who are at a banquet. While it's not going well from Rhodes's end, he heads to Med as Bekker instructs  Ethan on working the patient's heart; Rhodes sneaks into the building in an old passage that leads him to the hospital and performs a successful job on the patient.

But it didn't end there when Noah's patient couldn't breathe, and he wasn't around, let alone any other doctor. It leads Maggie to make the unthinkable but rational decision to help first, trying to tube the patient but couldn't, and that leads to placing a tract in her throat. It doesn't go well when the patient has suffered from a stroke due to the lack of oxygen. It doesn't look good for Maggie, as she's suspended for a week.

But it could get worse for #Manstead fans as both seem to be coming into good terms, and planning to talk about what had happened in the last couple of weeks turns worse for them. When they treat a patient suffering from respiratory issues, they learn that their cancer has grown and that there isn't much they can do. But when Natalie tells Will that there is an experimental drug to help shrink the tumor and thinks it's the best treatment, Will shoots her idea down.

Natalie pursues the idea with the patient and wife and gets the treatment going, but later, the patient goes into cardiac arrest and dies. Later, Goodwin learns about what happened and the experimental drug used, and Halstead blames Manning for it. It pissed off Natalie that he did it, and when the test results showed that the drug didn't kill their patient but helped shrink the tumor down. Will tries to give the credit to Natalie, but Natalie doesn't want it and tells him that she wants to be respected as a doctor and not be protected, even if they are in a relationship. But it put their relationship on a break for now (I hope).

"Lock It Down" was another intense episode that put the doctors and nurses of Med in tough decisions and circumstances. The character development was good, along with the writing. I thought Maggie and her decision as a nurse to put a tract for the patient was fantastic storytelling and should start a discussion: why can't nurses tube or tract a patient? Also, not to mention the storyline of Dr. Charles and Reese, as she learned that Charles talked with her father as a patient and wouldn't tell her. It also opened that she could or couldn't be like her father after she lied so well to the mother who stole the baby. And the #Manstead storyline takes a dramatic turn as their relationship takes a break. Not only does it hurt as a fan, but I also understand where Natalie is coming from, seeing how Will has protected her in the work area. Hopefully, he will change. And not to mention Rhodes and Bekker, as Rhodes still has a thing for her. But what the hell was that look between Rhodes's father and Bekker that seems very questionable?

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Search and Get: The Blacklist "The Capricorn Killer (No. 19)

With ever so close to catching Tom's killer, Liz gets called to a cold case from her past that has reopened.

After the death of the detective that was helping Liz in the case, an eye witness has come forward and identified the man who did it as Ian. It's just one step close for Liz to bring that man to justice for Tom. But instead of bring the witness back to D.C., she gets assigned to a cold case that asked for her personally to help on.

Known as The Capricorn Killer, it's one of Liz cold case that she has yet to solve and dives back in thinking the the killer has returned. But looking at the evidence of the sword and where it was made, gave that they are messing with a copycat.

As they got close to the suspect, but escapes, Liz believes that the copycat is a former officer and gets help from Red on getting documents of former officers. That would lead to one officer and has Liz follow him til he spotted her and taken her to a cabin in the woods where she meets with her own therapist. She tells Liz how she's been trying to find a way to get her into her side of things, in a way like Reddingotn. But that quite ended when the FBI showed up and she escapes with Liz following her. But Liz let her get away and in hopes that they would work together as part of her network team (like father, like daughter, right?).

In the meantime, Red tries to get to Ian to make an exchange waver, for which Ian wants Red to stop the witness to make it to D.C. Red did that as Aram transfers the man but gets ambushed and taken. Aram feels terrible and tells Liz that he's working to find him til she tells him that the witness is already dead, but really isn't as Red still has him for control over Ian, but mark his words that soon things will get small for him and when he figures out who Ian is, he'll strike.

Of course, with the witness gone Liz is upset and mad at what happen and when she talked to Red about it, she asked him if had anything to do with it. We all know that he did and that soon, maybe in the next episode that she'll figure out and the boiling point between them will go another high point.

This episode was another good one with it building up to where Red and Liz's relationship will go again after this episode but also even though it might be far now, but closer to Ian as well. Anyone thinking that Ian could be a long lost brother of Raymond or Liz's mother? He must be someone that's high on the crime rate to try to take down Reddington. But that scene with Aram and Ian was not only intense but when Aram tells him to back the hell off I jumped off my seat screaming "hell yeah!" Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch The Blacklist Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC.

Jealously Name Calling at Needle Party: Life In Pieces " Graffiti Cute Jewelry Shorts"

From a new job to a jealous family member to even a needle party, this week's episode of Life in Pieces was funny from start to finish.

"Graffiti Cute Jewelry Shots" was another hilarious episode from Greg's new job at a company where he has to work with millennials and tries to fit in with them by writing something terrible about himself. But it worsens when the boss gets fried, and Greg takes his job. Sophia gets jealous of Lark when everyone in the family thinks she's so cute during Easter and tries to get them to think she's pretty, too, but it doesn't turn out how she hoped.

Meanwhile, Joan accidentally gives Jan a necklace that belongs to Heather. The relationship between Jan and Joan is at a perfect point, but Joan asks for the chain back after Heather and Tim guilt her into taking it back. With Matt and Colleen trying IVF, it's hard to use shots, and with Matt not perfect doing them, Colleen asks Tim to give them to her, but their needle party turns into a special relationship of needle pointing.

This episode might be one of my favorites so far. The performance from the cast was good; the writing was good, and the characters developed well. I've enjoyed this episode a lot that I recommend you to watch it where ever you can watch it. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Life In Pieces on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on CBS.

Changing Ways: Champions "Lumps"

When the gym has a declining in female members, Vince has to complete against an all female members gym.

After seeing that there has been a decline in female membership at the gym, Vince learns that another gym has taken most of their members in an all female gym called Lumps. Vince tries to talk with the owner but wouldn't come to terms of what he was asking so that lead to sending Ruby into the gym to try and convince the members to join champions. But it didn't turn out the way they had hope for as Ruby wasn't just a member but also a trainer as well.

Vince learns from Michael what the gym really needs (mainly television that airs SVU reruns). Meanwhile, Michael tries to get out of math, due to his poor grades, but when getting help Dana it just turns to helping her relationship issue.

"Lumps" was a good half hour of fun and entertainment that's filled with laughter throughout the episode. The performance from Holm, Feimster and Totah were amazing as each had their best moments whether it's Vince talking to Michael about math or trying to win back the female members as his gym. Ruby trying to convince but gets convince herself to join Lumps and Michael trying to skip math lessons and helping with his knowledge of relationships. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch Champions Thursdays at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.

Party, No Party: A.P. Bio "We Don't Party"

As Jack tries to win his ex-girlfriend over by helping with her fundraiser, the bio class tries to have a night to remember at the same place where Jack's party is held.

"We Don't Party" was a good episode with good moments and bad moments. Mainly, the thellousyyd moment was mostly between Jack and his ex-girlfriend friend Friewhere IreIi thought that Jack would have the upper hand in out-smarting the doctor with what we've seen throughout the season—even the teachers who came to the party didn't have much to do but comment. Even Mary's meeting a man who happens to have a thing for dressing up toes was weird.

 The good moments came with the AP Bio students having their party at the same place as Jack's at Victor's house. Whether it's watching the students drink and dance to music li, listening to Heather about cutting someone, or Victor comforting his friends about being scared to drink and yet taking a shot.

Also, watching Patton Oswalt's character trying to go to the party, even though he wasn't invited, had little to no effect on the story and was still funny.

Even though this might not be the best episode, it has its funny moments, but you will probably forget this episode after it's done.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch A.P. Bio on Thursdays at 8:30/7:30 on NBC.
