Here's another edition of the weekend catch-up.
Suits: "Uninvited Guests"
The
In this week's episode, things could take a turn for the worst for not just Rachel and Mike but for Jessica and the firm.
With Mike and Rachel's wedding still in the planning, Rachel's mother has some ideas and dates for the ceremony. But when she shows Rachel the list of who's invited, it puts her on the defensive and to protect Mike from his secret.
Of course, there's always an argument between mother and daughter, but the mother wants to give what her daughter always dreamed of. I find it a perfect story this wedding might not happen. This is when Mike and Rachel finally talk and discuss it after Mike has spoken to her mother about this situation. But they love each other, and it looks like they're still in the process.
Meanwhile, Harvey apologizes for his action towards Louis as the partners will vote to either not suspend or to suspend Harvey. It was split, and Harvey stayed. And well, hell's lazing when Jack mentions that Daniel Hardman has made a deal to take back his firm.
It draws both Harvey and Mike to take care of this, and with Mike's ideas, one shitty and the other brilliant (something he's been doing to Harvey for a long time). They stop the bleeding of Daniel from coming back, but it just puts more and more pressure on Harvey and Jessica.
Harvey talks to Charles, who's in prison, trying to scare him, but it doesn't work. For this to stop, Charles wants Harvey to resign from the firm. As for Jessica, she double-crossed Jack, thinking he would be a partner in the firm, but not quite. It turned into a heated match of words. Jessica is never afraid, but she should be when Jack votes for her to leave.
This episode leaves up to a perfect season finale. This episode had plenty of drama carrying from last week's episode. There's no doubt that things will happen. Things are differently going to change. Will Jessica be voted out? Harvey Quit?
Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
You can catch the season finale of Suits Wednesday night at 9/8c on USA.
Mr. Robot: "eps1.8m1rr0r1ng.qt"
Last week's episode was jaw-dropping. This week's episode was yet another.
So, in this case, Mr. Robot is Elliot! Holy Shit!!
This episode had some backstory when Mr. Robot had an electronic store called "Mr. Robot." And when a customer comes, he says his kid took $40. Robot doesn't take this crap and tells the guy to leave. It was then that he called out his son, Elliot.
Of course, Elliot has been freaking out since he kissed his sister Angela. So, Elliot has been talking with his dad, going from his place to his old childhood home. He was thinking that we saw Elliot push Mr. Robot through the window. We see them walking to the cemetery, where they stop at a grave, and Robot sits down, but just before, he tells him that he loves Elliot and that they're trying to take him away from him. From then on, it was getting too freaky until Darlene and Angela found him, and soon, Robot was nowhere to go.
Elliot freaks out and soon realizes that he's Mr. Robot.
In the meantime, Tyrell is a father and soon gets fired. How interesting is that when joy comes to you, and soon it's taken away?
Soon, Tyrell goes to Elliot's apartment and talks to him about what has been happening with the hacking and all. Also, he killed his neighbor and had discussions about that. So, Elliot shows Tyrell the place where everything has been happening and tells him that he's the one who's been doing it.
It seems like Tyrell wants to help Elliot and get revenge from Evil Crop for his firing. I guess Tyrell was right in the pilot that they'll be working with Elliot in the future.
I enjoyed this episode. This show is a lot different from any other television show this summer. Some so many twists and turns keep me interested and wanting to watch more. I think that something big is coming, and when that happens to Elliot, it will be something he can't stop.
I give this episode an 8/10.
You can catch the season finale of Mr. Robot on Wednesday night at 10/9c on USA.
Aquarius: "Old Ego Is a Too Much Thing"
In the season finale of "Aquarius," Ken and Hal return to Charlie for help. Hodiak tries to deal with his son's service records, and life and death come into play.
Ken gets into such deep stuff that involves a dead girl. He goes to Hal's place and tells him that his girl wasn't there that night, so he had to settle with this girl. Suddenly, things go wrong, and he leaves the body at Charlie's place, which isn't a good idea because Charlie will use it as leverage for both of them. We see a flashback of both guys in 1959 when this incident happened, and Charlie made Hal kill the girl.
Hodiak tries to save his son from his actions of telling the truth about the war. Arranging a meeting with an officer with a good enough deal, his son goes to LA Times and soon gets arrested and taken away.
Meanwhile, a case breaks, and he and Shafe go to the suspect's home, where guns are a blazing. Hoak took one of the suspects who was caught and used him to stop his brother from shooting, for which he shot him a couple of times. Then Hodiak tackles and fights with him until he breaks the guy's neck.
Shafe and Hodiak were awarded a medal for their duties in this killing case. Soon after Hodiak was awarded, a guy from internal affairs came and told him he had questions because a witness saw what happened.
Grace and Hodiak are a couple now after all this mess went down. She finally gives up on her daughter after being in jail and just isn't listening to her. I did predict that Grace and Hodiak would wound up as a couple.
Charlie, on the other hand, became a father, but the baby wasn't breathing. Then, one of the girls, who was jealous of Charlie, steals a baby from the local hospital and brings the child back.
This episode was pretty good. There didn't seem to be any closing storylines except for Emma and her mother—a cliffhanger for Hodiak of the incident. I look forward to seeing what Season Two will bring.
In this episode, I give it a 6.5/10.

Hannibal: "The Number of the Beast is 666..."
HOLY SHIP!!!!
I CAN NOT BELIEVE WHAT I'VE JUST WATCHED!!!!
The hunt for the Red Dragon is still on, and Will and Jack have an idea. With the help of Fredrick, they're going to draw the guy out and attack them by putting out an article describing the dragon.
That did work, but instead of going after Will, he went after Fredrick (who, in my opinion, got what he deserved). As Fredrick was heading out, the dragon snatched him and took him to his place, where it was the episode's best scene.
The dragon is talking to Fredrick, making him fear him. Soon, Reba comes by with chicken soup but tells the dragon how much she likes him. After that, the dragon shows pictures of his work to Fredrick and soon gets the photo of him and Will.
The dragon takes the video camera out and records, telling Fredrick what to say, and soon, the dragon is unleashed and goes to Fredrick, biting off his lips and fashioning the shot of Fredrick screaming with blood and teeth, showing so gruesome but so fantastic.
But if you think that was the end of Fredrick, not at all. The dragon later poured gasoline on him and lit him up on fire, pushing him down the pathway toward the water fountain.
Hannibal, of course, might have set it up for the dragon to hurt Fredrick. After all, he did get his lips in the mail from the dragon and ate one before Jack could see it.
Never have I seen such a gruesome scene in my life on television. This episode is as gruesome. Hannibal mentions that the lamb will soon be a loin. I think that in next week's episode, that lamb will become something of a loin.
I enjoyed this episode so, so much—mind-blowing scene with Fredrick and the Dragon. And Hannibal and Jack's conversation was good as well. The actors were just so damn good.
Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.
You can catch the season finale/series finale of Hannibal on Saturday nights at 10/9c on NBC.
Sports Talk:
What a weekend the Chicago Cubs have had, sweeping the Atlanta Braves and winning today's game 9-3.
The player of the game, Kris Bryant, hitting two home runs today, was flat-out remarkable.
Cubs seem to be hitting at the right time, and pitching is good enough to get through. But I can't stress enough on the offensive side that this team is red hot.
I know it's getting my grandfather, a Cardinal fan, worrying about how they're playing.
We've only had less than 40 games; things can happen. But I do hope that what the Cubs are doing keeps going and hopefully shows a tremendous playoff run.
Hell, last night's game was literally the best game I've ever seen period. Kyle Hendricks was pitching near his best, just given up one run. Maddon takes him out in thr 4th and beings in Jon Lester, who had a rocky start but calmed things down in the next few innings. Then Aroldis Chapman comes in and struggles after throwing in Game 5 in 2 2/3 innings and Game 6 too. The Indians were only down two and Rajai Davis comes up and hits a bomber out to tie the game.
