Birthing stories to Having Babies: Single Parents "Oh Dip, She's Having a Baby"/"A Night At Camarillo"

"Oh, Dip, She's Having a Baby"

Just as Poppy and Doug adjust to living arrangements at Doug's place, Sharon comes over as she's beginning labor and needs help finding Ron. Poppy, Doug, and Miggy get Angie and Will over to help and tell their birth stories.

We learn that Miggy delivered his son at a 76 gas station; Doug was sitting outside the delivery room; Poppy was upset with Ron for naming Rory after the smoke monster from Lost. Angie delivered Graham in Las Vegas while Will told three stories, one confirmed as it involves Regis Philbin.

Sharon delivered her baby at the same 76 gas station, and Ron arrived at the hospital after picking up a Shaq shoe from Arizona. Poppy sees the bundle of joy and thinks about maybe wanting another baby but with Doug.

"Oh Dip, She's Having a Baby" is probably one of my favorite episodes of the season, maybe even of the series. This episode had everything from solid character development to hilarious and emotional moments as they told their birth stories. Hell, who knew that Miggy could step up like that for a birth at the 76 gas station? Holy crap! The cast did such a fantastic job in this episode. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

"A Night at Camarillo" 

When Miggy finds out that Poppy has been ordering baby books, she tells him she's been thinking about having another baby and wants one with Doug. During their dinner that night, she was going to talk to him about the idea, but the restaurant had something different going on that got Doug's attention and battle with Dan Marino.

As soon as they got some alone time, Doug was evident with this vision of the future of not having kids, as she still hadn't told him about her idea. She talks with Graham, who watched the other kids at Doug's house. As Doug returns, Poppy tells him they might need to break up. Uh Oh!

I mentioned that Graham was in charge of the rest of the kids. They didn't think Graham could be bossy; he showed his good Italian side and got them to behave. He even needed to take five minutes as Poppy came back.

Meanwhile, Angie and Colin are hitting it off well. Colin is a bit creeped out by Will being around and copying off his clothing style. After Will hears from Colin's ex-wife that they still have an affair together, that sent Will to get to the bottom. Will sees from the air B&B hotel sign-out books that Colin had been with his ex-wife a few days ago.

As Will tells Angie the truth, Will kicks him out, and the two talk and enjoy the room Colin paid for. They even said that maybe Will has feelings for Angie, but they dodged that question again. But in the end, they got Colin back with the sweet revenge of putting the goose he hated in his car.

"A Night at Camarillo" was an excellent episode once again. While the Poppy and Doug story was sometimes weak, maybe the whole restaurant scene felt off. Maybe both Doug and Poppy should break up. Do I think that Doug would change his mind about having more kids? If he can change for her this season, he could change. The Graham story was so funny and different, as we've seen him build his anger and emotions this season. But the Will and Angie story was another winner for me again. I wish that these two would say what they want to say. I understand their friendship means the world, but they make that perfect couple. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Single Parents to return Wednesday, May 6th at 9/8c with a particular one hour on ABC.

Love is All Around: Chicago Med "In the Name of Love"

I guess old habits don't die off. Here's a recap!

When Will treats a patient that that has early-onset Alzheimer's, things didn't quite so good when the husband should up with her DNR. Will, of course, goes beyond for his patients and believes that she wants help and does. That upsets both Sharon and Dr. Charles, who believes that the patient's mental state is not so good.

Meanwhile., as Maggie and Ben head to their honeymoon, one of Ben's students wasn't well; learns that his foster parent forgot to take him to his dialysis. Meeting the foster parent, she decides to leave him with at Med and DCFS due to her not able to take care of him. That put the honeymoon trip on hold as Maggie and Ben decide to stay with the boy.

Crockett tries to help save a patient to give him more time to see the birth of his child but complications came and the patient died. Natalie, who was not in favor of Crockett's surgery study, tries to help him get over it. That is until his date comes.

April and Ethan's relationship could be on the verge of a breakup and after treating a patient whose husband tries to sabotage her diet. Ethan just needs time to still process it all.

"In the Name of Love" was a good episode, coming a bit own from the previous episode. That Will storyline brought back to season one memories; when Will treats a cancer patient that didn't want help but he did it anyway. I think, just like Jay, that Will has a heart of gold that he wears on his shelves when treating patients. That Maggie-Ben story was so good; even makes me think that they could be the adoptive parents to that kid. While the patient that Ethan and April were treating was a bit predictable, it did play to what the couple was dealing with in secrets and forgiveness. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Chicago Med Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC.

CSI: Fire: Chicago Fire "I'll Cover You"

Last week's episode of Chicago Fire had a lot to take in, from two mysteries to an inspiration and even a shocking ending that no one saw coming. Here's a recap! 

Changes to Come: This Is Us "Strangers, Part 2" Season Finale

The season finale of This Is Us gave us a whole of to take in but some much-needed comfort as well. Here's a recap!

"Strangers, Part 2" was a jammed-packed season finale that gave us a lot of taking in but let us feeling all right when it comes to a nice ending. We meet a few new characters that'll play a huge part in the next season. We see the present family celebrating baby Jack's first birthday with the announcement of Rebecca doing the study trials. Of course, that doesn't sit well Kevin who learns that Randall talked Rebecca into doing it. It sets up this argument scene in the yard that's just heart-pounding.

Meanwhile, a grown-up baby Jack and his wife meet their baby girl along with a family member that we learn to be his baby sister. In the pre

And as Kevin deals with Randall, he gets news that is unexpected. Madison is pregnant with his child and it's twins; a boy and a girl. While Uncle Nicky texts Kevin of his one-year celebration, we see Cassidy making a visit. As we get to the future of what looks to be the series finale, we see Kevin and Randall reunite in a forgiven way and Uncle Nicky with a ring on his finger.

This was an overwhelming season finale with moments of happiness and heavy emotions. While everyone had so many good moments, Sterling K. Brown and Justin Hartley were amazingly awesome in this episode. That yard scene was my favorite of this episode and come to found out that it only took one take to film that. Holy crap!

Now let me get this thought out of the way, we know that Madison is pregnant and it's a bit miracle for her; but what are the chances that she doesn't make it to the series finale and we see Kevin married to someone else like Cassidey or Sophie? Also since we haven't seen Kate in the future, where is she? She couldn't be that late to get thee as Kevin was the last one to get there, right?

Some many questions going into next season and the final season. This is going to be fun thinking about how next season will play out.

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

What did you think of the season four finale? Leave your comment below and tell us your thoughts.

You can catch This Is Us available on the NBC app, NBC.com, and new season this fall (if we get a fall premiere).

Putting a Team Together: Brooklyn Nine-Nine "Sicko"/"Suicide Squad" Season Finale

The season finale of Brooklyn Nine-Nine not only left us laughing out loud but revisiting past characters and even one shocking moment. Here's a recap!

In the season finale, Holt signs a case of a victim being murdered by a cannibal to Jake and Charles. Holt doesn't trust their work to solve the case. Instead, Commissioner Kelly tries to help by informing them about a new tipline app. But it turns out that the app isn't really what got the case was solved; Jake and the team realize that Kelly has been tapping phones all over the area.

After learning about Kelly's tapping phones all over the city; Jake puts a team together with a team that's known as Suicide Squad of The Vulture, Chief Wuntch, and Captain Stentely. Jake's plan was to have Stentely get kidnapped and hoped that Kelly's team would make a call. Instead, it didn't work the way they had hoped it would as The Vulture's team got on the case and got Jake's fingerprints.

It was when Holt and Wuntch went to the police ball that things took another twist thinking that Wuntch was acting like her old witch again but instead she was playing Kelly. As Kelly resigned, Wuntch takes over and not only to make things better for the worst. She gives Holt a demotion as she learned in the episode that he didn't complete his training and was assigned to traffic duty. And gives Terry Holt's position. 

"Sick" and "Suicide Squad" might not have been better than the season five finale.  But it really was a good enough episode. It not only had a strong character development; but even brought back some past characters that you wouldn't think would be back. Also brought a moment that you would have thought to happen but turns out it didn't but it was still satisfying.

I really had thought that in the finale would have that surprising moment for Amy and Jake that would lead to having a baby. But Holt gets demoted was a satisfying surprise. It places the question of how the nine-nine would do without him as their captain. How will Terry be as the Nine-Nine's new captain? That would be something to see when Season seven comes next year. Overall, I give the Season 6 Finale an 8.5/10 and Season 6 a 9/10.

What did you think of the season finale of Brooklyn Nine-Nine? Would Terry make a great Captain in the Nine-Nine? Would Holt even last as a traffic cop? Will there even be a heist when the show returns in the new year? I call Valentines! Leave a comment and tell us what you think!

You can catch Brooklyn Nine-Nine coming back in 2020.

Come Together: Chicago PD "Pain Killer" /"The City"

"Pain Killer"

"Pain Killer" was another powerful episode in what looked to be an active shooter shooting a politician, but there's a twist as a blast from the past shockingly comes to Voight. 

After an event for Ray Price, shots were fired, hitting Price. Voight and the team search for the active shooter, which takes them to another victim, a judge that Voight knows. Soon, the pieces come together of where the shooter has been in the area to where Voight has been in the last day or two. Could someone be targeting Voight? 

After another shot at the courthouse, Atwater chases the suspect but gets away, leaving a backpack with the weapon. That weapon belonged to someone who had been out for a few days but knew the suspect. It was soon that the suspect was a blast from Voight's past as a kid that he arrested but got him a deal for turning in other bad guys. Voight learns that the kid didn't get out as they had agreed; he stayed longer till he was released just a month ago. 

After a call that the shooter had taken hostages, Voight tried to go in and reason with him. After letting two hostages go, Voight tries everything to make the shooter feel safe, but that wouldn't happen. As soon as the last hostage escapes, Voight tries to reason with him, but he walks into the window, where a SWAT sniper shoots him. 

This episode was a thrilling episode that, just when you thought that it was a police shooting, it was of Voight's past that would come back to haunt him. Jason Beghe gives another strong performance; the character of Voight has grown and developed this season as a man who's been suffering a lot but still moves on from it. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

"The City"

Can two Mayor candidates work together with the Intelligence Unit to solve a gang war before things turn even more deadly? Here's a recap!

"The City" is another intense and crazy episode with the Intelligence Unit investigating a gang shooting. Even though they know which two of the gangs it was, Voight has a meeting with both its leaders to have a peace summit. But it goes south quickly when another shooting happens and kills an innocent woman. 

As the investigation progresses, Voight and the team find an eyewitness of her sister's death and accept to testify in court after capturing the suspect. Just as things were looking good, Kelton made a press conference that just put a target on the witness and had to get her out of town before she got killed. That leads to Voight with the only option, letting one of the gang leaders take the suspect out, and it just happens to be the one that the suspect was a member of, so yeah. 

I very much enjoyed this episode. I'm not carrying much about Burgess' love life with this guy that's been on for the last few episodes. I wonder if it's so that she can have a relationship while Ruzek is having with Upton. Anyway, the writing was very good for this episode, with outstanding character development. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

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

Upset to Pleasant: Superstore "Cloud Green"

As Cloud 9 tries to stay clean for Earth Day, someone has a hard time letting go who's in charge. Here's a recap!

With it being Earth Day week at Cloud 9, Amy tells the staff that corporate wants everyone to be Earth-friendly when doing certain things. As Jonah tries to be the spokesperson for the team; it doesn't go so well and leaves it with Cheyenne and the rest to form their own Green Team. But Jonah comes back after seeing how fun they are having; soon worked together under Jonah in Charge.

Glenn gets his Pastor to come to Cloud 9 to advertise and speak out to those in faith, but it's a shock to Amy because Glenn never asked her for permission. After letting it slide, the Pastor drives Amy and Dina a bit crazy and kicks him out of the store.

This upsets Glenn and he throws one of the biggest Glenn fits that we've never seen before. It turns into one of the funniest scenes between Amy and Glenn when Glenn highjacks Amy's office to talk religion, but as Amy starts to write up Glenn for his behavior, Glenn started to help Amy with how to do things as manager and it was quite a scene ender.

"Cloud Green" was good but it got better as the episode moving forward. As much as I enjoyed the staying green at Cloud 9; it wasn't anything close to the Amy and Glenn storyline in this episode. That was probably the winner of this episode. I enjoyed so much watching the character development of Amy and Glenn that even if they fight, they are still there at the end when Glenn helps Amy with managing things that she still doesn't know how to do. I thought that the story was brilliant. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Superstore Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC.

Love in the Air? Chicago Fire "No Such Thing As Bad Luck"/"Until The Weather Breaks"

"No Such Thing As Bad Luck"

Boden meets a blast from his past during a rescue, while Cruz gets an award for his service with the CPD. Here's a recap!

During a house fire call, Boden meets a high school friend, but Casey and Severide think she might have set it up. Well, Boden got to the bottom of it and, later on, learned that her son was the one who set the fire as he was addicted to drugs. Boden gets between him and her, sees him drop the gun, and offers help at a drug rehab center.

After his heroic duty with Chicago PD, Cruz was awarded a commendation for his work. But after he learns about the award, he ignores Severide's orders during that house fire call. Later, when heiss about to get his commendation, he knows that Severide will be the one to give it to his play and sing it on his jacket.

Kidd and Otis thought they had made a colossal mistake when they learned that the dog statue was Molly's good luck charm, and giving it away had caused lousy luck. Herrmann gets word of the IRS auditing the bar. Kidd and Otis try to get the statue back, but when they bring it up at the firehouse, the figure is broken, and later that night,t Herrmann tells them that things are good to leave the statue broken.

Severide and Kidd's relationship takes an awkward turn as some think that Severide has stayed at the bar until Kidd leaves. Foster is in it and tells Severide that maybe he will give her space.

The episexcellentery is good. I thought that Boden's high school friend was going to go after him in a fatal attraction meets fire t, but it wasn't and well written. I couldn't get enough of the humor storyline of the hunt for the dog statue. And I think Severide is learning not to be so protective as he could win Kidd by not being always there. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

"Until The Weather Breaks"

Chicago Fire is back with an exciting new episode that will not only play with your heart but leave you on the edge of your seat. 

I enjoyed the episode "Until The Weather Breaks" as it's probably one of my favorite episodes of the season; I could reach up there in bottle episodes on this show. Firehouse 51 gets a surprise visitor, a kid hiding in the firehouse. Everyone tries to comfort the kid from Brett, Casey, and even Tuesday, but the reason is the real thriller as the kid was a witness in a murder, and one of the shooters happens to find him and looks for him.  But that got stopped when Otis called out on his game, and everyone tried to get him out and away from the kid, but thanks to Severide and Brett, the guy was caught.

Also, in the episode, there is more Severide and Kidd drama, leading to Kidd learning that Foster helped Severide deal with his feelings for Kidd. Casey wants to take an adventurous trip around the world, while Severide doesn't like the idea; Brett thinks it's fantastic and cute. She even asked Casey if he was down for a group trip. Why not?

"Until The Weather Breaks" is probably one of my top ten episodes of this season. It had an outstanding balance of dramatic and humorous moments that I can't get enough of. We get some good character development with Casey and Brett (not a lot), but Otis is affected by the gunman coming into the firehouse. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Fire on Wednesdays at 9/8c on NBC.

Lessons from Carrie: Fresh Off The Boat "Rancho Contento"/"Vice Mommy"

"Rancho Conteno" 

To set for retirement or not that is the question!

After celebrating a special anniversary, Louis gave Jessica a gift of retirement papers. Not liking the idea, Jessica turns down Louis' plan, but he won't give up. As Jessica signs up to take classes at a college, Louis shows her the place "Rancho Conteno" a place where retirees make something of themselves, but Jessica still turns it down. Louis finally understands the reason when Jessica tells him that the reason that she doesn't want to retire is that she hasn't accomplished and wants to make a legacy as principal. 

Meanwhile, Eddie tries to improve himself by writing in a journal. He asked Trent what his sister, Tina, is into and learns that she's a fan of Sex in the City. He learns to put his friends first and does that for the Dance, Dance Revolution. That wins him Tina's heart and when she asked him to hang out, he declined because of his plans with his friends but a raincheck was applied.

"Rancho Conteno" was another hilarious episode. There was plenty of character growth in this episode with Jessica, Louis, and Eddie, who might have had the best in this episode. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"Vice Mommy" 

Vice Mommy" was a good episode but it had some moments that was lagging at times. Louis awards Eddie for his work, but Eddie isn't quite liking it and tries to give it to someone who deserves it. As Jessica is going to school, Even takes on the responsibility when she's gone but also tries to still have their mommy and son time, which doesn't turn out well for Evan.

I couldn't feel where Eddie storyline was going at times and but I did enjoy the ending the episode when Eddie confronts Tina about how he wants to ask her out so bad; which she says yes. The Evan storyline was very good and hit its mark with hilarious moments and memorable moments when Evan tells Jessica the truth after Grandma threw a party. Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

You can catch Fresh Off the Boat Fridays at 8/7c on ABC.

Opening The Door: This Is Us "Her" Season Finale

The season three finale of This Is Us found the door that was not only comforting but also opens a new door that asked more questions. Here's a recap!

Let's just start with Kate and Toby because I think we should start with some good news coming out of the finale. As baby Jack is pulling through and breathing on his own; the doctor wants everyone to watch closing as he might forget to breathe. Rebecca is there to learn alongside with Kate and Toby of what to do when baby Jack forgets to breathe...by tapping his leg. During a moment between Kate and Rebecca, Jack forgets to breathe and Rebecca just tapped his leg while Kate was worried and trying to get a nurse. All is good as the baby was brought home.

Kevin and Zoe spend some time with Tess and Annie. Tess needs a new dress for the school dance, but doesn't know what's her own style and look. She talks about it with Kevin and the two connected as he helped with her problem. Kevin still thinks that he and Zoe being around Tess and Annie could change her mind about having children, but that's a no go. Eventually, they break up.

In the past; Rebecca getting into a car accident and had to stay a night in the hospital. Jack and the kids weren't too happy not having her around. He decides to go see her a few hours before visiting hours were to be; but the nurse allowed them to go anyway.

As for Beth and Randall, the two are having a hard time finding the door to the solution for their problem. As Deja gave Randall advice that opened his mind to resign his position; Beth found a way to make it all work: moving to Philadelphia as she wants to start her own dance studio. After thinking about it, Randall, Beth, and company pack up their things as they move.

As we come to an end, we see the future as Beth makes coffee and Randall and Tess come in. They are in apparently Kevin's home and everyone is coming that includes Toby and Jack. Kevin's son is walking around and tells Randall that Kevin is out getting take-out and soon Randall goes to see Rebecca, who's not only too good. Nicky is there by her bedside and Randall comes in to tell her, "It's Randall mom, your son."

"Her" was such an emotional and heartbreaking season finale with humor to help get through it. I had predicted that Baby Jack would make at the end of the season, plus Kevin and Zoe breaking up. I still think that Kevin and Sophie will get back together.

As for the Randall and Beth situation, I thought could go 50/50 either way. But watching them decide to move and seeing where she still has her wedding ring on when hugging Randall in the future scene; it seems that things are all right.

The heartwarming moment came when watching Jack pleading with the nurse for them to be with Rebecca after a long night without her. But the heartbreaking moment came when we see Randall walk to Rebecca's room to see her not looking so good. Could she have Alzheimer's? I had a feeling that the series finale would be around the death of Rebecca in one of the most joyous endings.

The writing and performance of this episode were outstanding. There might have been some predicted moments.  Overall I enjoyed it and I thought it was another great episode and another great ending. I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch This Is Us available to watch on Hulu, NBC.com and other platforms. 

Searching for Answers: Supergirl "Shelter from the Storm"/"The Fanatical"/"Dark Side of the Moon"

"Shelter from the Storm"

The hunt is on for Reign as she's trying to find Ruby.

Reign attacks Lena and James in search for Ruby, after Lena uses her man-made kryptonite on her, she runs away. After telling and showing Kara, it doesn't put them on good speaking terms until the it helped take down Reign.

Lena tells Kara and Alex where Ruby is staying: Lex's mansion that's been protected from the world. Alex heads over there and stays with Ruby, until Ruby makes a phone call to her mother which brings Reign over.

Just before Kara moves in, Mon-El and Brainaic comes back to help and finish the mission. Mon-El and Kara stops Reign with the help of Lena's kryptonite that Mon-El uses in the machine gun.

After the capture of Reign, Alex confronts Ruby that what she saw wasn't her mother, but tells her that she won't lie to her to protect her anymore. It looks like Kara forgives and thanks Lena for the help but even though it looked like things look well for them. That is until Kara meets with Lena on their way to see Ruby and Lena tells her that Supergirl crossed the line and can't trust her.

We are left with a cliffhanger of Tonya, a Conville follower, taken the Coville's journal.

This was another amazing episode. There were many moments from Lena and Supergirl back and forth on what's right and wrong to the moments of when J'onn ask for his father's help, most of his memory is almost not there anymore. Even coming up with Coco Coffee, which I'm up for.

Overall, I give this episode a8/10.

"The Fanatical"

As Kara talks to James about Lena's mistrust in Supergirl, Tonya brings them Coville's journal to give to Supergirl. But when Olivia comes in looking for Tonya, she plays James and kidnaps her. Guardian chases them and fights them til James gets shot blowing off his mask and the cops come, but escapes with Tonya.

Olivia demands James to release Tonya or they'll release video that he's Guardian. It brings a bit of fear and deja vu to James as he tells Lena about his first time getting handcuffed by the cops.

Kara and Mon-El investigate Coville's cult place and seeing remnants of a nuclear explosion. They look into Coville's journal and Kara realizes that the cult is trying to make a new Worldkiller using Harun-El ( a small black krytonite staute).

After coming to terms, Tonya gives herself up to the cult and brings Mon-El. Soon, Olivia starts the ritual to transform herself into a Worldkiller, Mon-El sends a signal to Supergirl to locate where they are at.

After a brief fight, Kara reasons with Olivia enough for her to give up the desire to be a Worldkiller. But when the statute couldn't come off her hand, Kara uses her leaser vision to take it off and ice breath to cool her hand.

Later on, Winn and Lena find more about the Harun-El, which can be used to help Sam, on a meteor. But when Reign's power over the kryptonite is overpowering, Kara and Mon-El deiced to take J'onn's spaceship and headed over there as fast as they can.

Also Alex tries to cheer up Ruby, who's still dealing about her mother. When nothing seems to work, both Alex and J'onn take Ruby and J'onn's father to an arcade place. After things not going so well, Ruby and J'onn's father bonded while playing Foosball.

I thought this episode was simply amazing. The one moment that really stood out was the Ruby and Alex but Ruby and J'onn's father too. It was just a beautiful performance and so well written.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

"Dark Side of the Moon"

As Kara and Mon-El reach the meteor, they discover there is a city on it. They get attacked by the caretaker droids but uses disguises to blend in while traveling through the city towards the rock.

Kara realizes that the meteor is a surviving part of Krypton (Argo City) and discovers that her mother is alive. Alura arranges for a meeting of their High Council to discuss the issues of the Harun-El, as it is sues to sustain the life and security of the city.

Kara manages and convinces the members to give her a small quantity of it to defeat Reign. But later, Selena, a member, is revealed to be the Dark Priestess.

Meanwhile, Alex is attacked while spending time with Ruby. She believes the suspect is the killer sheriff her and Kara helped capture ten years ago, but a second attempt is made on her life. J'onn sets a trap for the killer posing as Alex but he targets the real Alex before she captures him.

As Kara and Mon-El come back at L-Crop, Reign's immunity increases to Lena's Kryptonite and escapes the containment.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Supergirl on The CW.

Overwhelming: Chicago Med "This Is Now"

A massive park shooting turns Med into a war zone of treating and saving with everyone they have with everything they've got.

"This Is Now" turns into one hour of intense, emotional fast pace episode that they haven't really done since last season's blizzard episode. But in this case, this was like five times as big with everyone at Med trying treat victims of a park shooting who can be saved and quickly move on to the next one. Meanwhile, while all of this is going on, Natalie deals with the thought that her son, Owe, might have been there during the shooting and tries to make the calls to her babysitter but no word and Jay was busy trying to find the shooter, who happens to be in the hospital with a severe neck wound but is saved by Rhodes.

Meanwhile, #Manstead fans would be all in the happiest moment when Will made some calls and went to get Owen and brought him over to Natalie. After seeing and hugging her child, all three were together hugging.

After what felt like three months of non stop action, the situation gone down and Goodwin tells the hospital lawyer that her demands of a new CT scanner is not enough of what they have just gone though and asked to more than CT scans and even a bigger ED to handle a massive causality.

This was one of the best action episodes since last season, with such driven and fast pace stories from one character to another.  It brought me back to the days of ER. Putting characters into situations that they are not normally felt comfortable, that goes for Latham who had to perform surgery in the doctor's lounge in the ED. Even the event put not only put April overwhelmed but even Ethan, who was shaken up after. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch Chicago Med Tuesday at 10/9c 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.

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.

Dating with Food: Kevin Can Wait "Wingman"/"The Whole Enchilada"

"Wingman"

With Kyle bragging about using a new dating app, it sparks Vanessa and Kevin to use it as well to find their perfect match.

When Vanessa and Kevin learn of a new dating app "Be My Wingman" that Kyle has been using, and agree to help each other out finding someone that's perfect for one another. But at first they weren't into the app and tried being each other wingman at the bar, but that failed after meeting weird people. So they turn to Kyle for help using the app and soon they find someone for each other.

When Kevin and Vanessa double date with their perfect match, it goes well for Kevin but not well for Vanessa as Kevin chosen a guy that's quite like Kevin. When Vanessa tells Kevin that she doesn't like him, he tries to change his look and makes him look a lot better and gives Vanessa to go for a second chance date. But when things turn to be so good, both Vanessa and Kevin's dates leaves them and goes out with one another.

"Wingman" was a good average episode that had some funny moments. Even if they aren't trying to get Vanessa and Kevin to grow more in their relationship, they still put them in situations like this episode that makes you think that they could be the perfect match for one another. Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

"The Whole Enchilada" 

Maybe the proof is in the food, unless Kevin can see it or not.

When it comes to reading signs, Kevin isn't the smartest in the department when his neighbor Wendy comes by with food, enchilada, that's one of the best. But when Wendy ask where this relationship is going, even though there wasn't, Kevin tries to explain but agrees to go out with her to the movies.

Kevin tells Vanessa about it and she thinks he needs to dump her but when tasting Wendy's enchilada, she agrees that Kevin is screwed. But when she helps him to dump Wendy and cook for him, it's not the same and Kevin goes through depression and tries to win Wendy back, for which he did.

"The Whole Enchilada" was a way better episode than the previous one that brings the classic elements to this show: Kevin, food and relationships. It may not be the smartest episode but it was sure the funniest with James, Spreitler, Remini and Florencia Lozano as Wendy. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch Kevin Can Wait Mondays at 8/7c on CBS.

Stand By Their Partners Chicago PD "Ghosts"

When a drug deal goes wrong, a blast from the past comes to one of the Intelligence Unit member.

When a drug deal goes wrong, Upton sees someone that she had worked with before, who happens to be working with one of the biggest case before joining the Unit. She decides to take on and bring her undercover character, Kelly, back from hiding and try to make a deal with the top drug boss, Booth, but it gets pretty intense when Booth questions her and Halstead to make sure they aren't lying.

We learn the reason why she left the case when Halstead confronts her about it with photos of her beat up from Booth. She wants to take him down no matter if Voight told them to shut it down or not and does and goes on with the plan. As the plan comes together, Booth takes advantage on Upton in front of Halstead but things get dicey when Booth's nephew sees Halstead about to grab something. Upton breaks away from Booth and chases after him. As Booth takes her to town, she finally gets the chances to beat the crap out of him and almost killing him, but Halstead stops her just in time.

With the the Unit at Molly's to celebrate, Upton stays home and gets a visit from Halstead, who is there for her in a time of need. She tells Halstead that her partner that Booth killed was someone she was very, very close with and the two drink their sorrows.

"Ghosts" was such a strong, intense, thrilling and such well developed character for Hailey Upton. This was Tracy Spiridakos best performance since joining the show as it gave such an emotional and intense background story of her past. Not to mention Jesse Lee Soffer was amazing in this episode too. This was definitely the perfect #Upstead episode. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

CPD will be off for the next couple of weeks.

You can catch Chicago PD Wednedays at 10/9c.

Take a Deep Breathe: This Is Us "The Wedding" Season Finale

The season finale of This Is Us, left us grabbing tissues and not to mention some surprises into what happens in the next season.

It's Kate and Toby's wedding and things were looking up til Kate was missing her something old: her dad's old Dayton shirt. With Kevin and Randall handing the wedding stuff, they look for something old that belongs to Jack. But Kate goes on herself a journey not only to find something that connected her with her dad, from the ice cream shop to the stump in the woods where they talked. This going while she talked to Rebecca about these dreams (flashbacks) of the wedding but it was Rebecca and Jack's renewing their vows with everyone there, except for Toby. What could that mean? That Toby isn't the one? He won't live as long as Jack?

In the meantime, Randall and Beth try to handle with the Deja situation as she's showing no interest of going to the wedding. As Beth reconnects with her cousin, her cousin talked with Deja of her experience with her mother leaving her. Thing were going good until Toby's mother makes a comment that she looked like Randall and after that it was Deja pulling a scene from Beyonce's Lemonade video.

With where this season took these characters, it felt that they've come to acceptance of their father's death and who they are as Kevin and Randall making a great toast to Kate and Toby. But as the episode comes to an end, we see flash forward of Randall with Tess asking if she's ready to see her (who? Beth? Deja?), Kate walking into the bedroom of Toby, who doesn't look too good, in bed, and Kevin on a plane looking at a photo of his dad and uncle from Vietnam along with Beth's cousin.

I'd very much enjoyed this episode like every other episode this season. This seemed like a bit of that cherry on top with the stomach for wanting more when finished. I thought the writing was strong and the performances from the cast was amazing. I think that this was Chrissy Metz's best episode performance. Not to mention Chris Sullivan, who's scene with Toby's parents was so good as he stand up to Kate after they didn't think she was the right person for him. I literally couldn't get enough of Kevin and Randall's scenes in this episode from trying to find something old for Kate to trying to find Kate. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10 also the season a 10/10.
