Jay's Call: Chicago PD "Equal Justice"

 Has Jay taken a play from Voight's playbook? Here's a recap of this week's Chicago PD.

As the Intelligence Unit does a stakeout, their cover gets blown when they spot someone who's taken a car full of heroin. They quickly learn that the man, Lateral Wade, is not only working for the gang but also trying to find his son's killer, who he believes is the gang leader. 

Jay and the team try to work with the father, trying to get in with the gang, but they fail after the father sees the gang leader's car. After that deal has failed, Jay learns that the father's son might not have been killed over drugs but of a relationship with a young woman, who happens to be in a relationship with one of the gang members. 

Just as the Intelligence Unit made an arrest, gunshots were heard, and they found their suspect dead. Jay spots the runaway car and learns that it's the father. As Jay talks with Voight about the situation, Jay decides to arrest the father, yet tells him to lawyer up and keep quiet. 

"Equal Justice" was an excellent episode. Lawrece Gilliard, Jr. was fantastic as Lateral Wade, the father who seeks explanations for the death of his son. Even Jesse Lee Soffer was good, and the bond that the two characters had during this episode was delightful. 

It did leave Halstead with a situation that you would think he would just arrest. Still, during that scene, when talking to him about fathers and sons, he had a whole different feeling that not only had him capture Wade but advised him to lawyer up and keep quiet. 

Was it a play from Voight's playbook? We have seen it all the time. Had Jay become more like Voight? That's tough to say.

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

Understand This: Chicago Fire "Blow This Up Somehow"

 

Another exciting week on Chicago Fire. Here's a recap!

During a call to a crash at a gas station, Casey learns that Gallo has overstepped his order but instead saved a woman who was unconscious and surrounded by gasoline. Casey disciplines Gallo for a couple of days, but after a few days, he and Gallo talk about the situation and come to an understanding. 

Meanwhile, it looks like Casey's new love life looks to be taking off, but as she comes to visit him at 51, she notices the way that he looks at Brett, who is on a call. Soon, the two broke things off until Casey could figure out his feelings about Brett again.

Also, Brett and Mackey deal with discipline from the paramedic board as they are questioning why, after a max of fentanyl on a patient who sawed his leg off, wasn't working. They figured that the couple had ripped them off after a call. They finally busted them as someone made a 911 call using the same emergency. 

Kidd is stressing out not only about work and the Lieutenant exam but also over Severide. She talks with Boden about maybe taking a year off for the exam. Still, when Severide learns about what's going on, he talks with her about not quitting and soon tells her the truth about what's been going on; while she understands, she doesn't care as she's her person and doesn't back down and would never let Severide go. 

"Blow This Up Somehow" was an excellent episode and probably one of my favorite rewatchable episodes for the season. There was so much fun in this episode, not only with Cruz-Herrmann-Mouch and Mouch's tattoo, as that was too funny, but also the Severide and Casey moment in the loft talking about their situation with Stella and Sylvie. 

I'll admit I'm so glad that Severide finally talked with Stella, not only to encourage her but also to explain why he's been so distant with her. Even though I thought that it would take a turn for the worst, I was happy to see it end the way it did.

The Gallo and Casey thing was good, and it's good to see Gallo stand his ground and learn a bit from Casey's experience. And while agreeing to what Gallo had to do then, Casey was fitting that he should have radio quickly. 

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10. 

What did you think of this week's episode? With Stella and Kelly back together, is the next thing a ring? How long will it take for Casey and Brett to embarrass their feelings again? How long will it take for Cruz to tell everyone about the baby? Leave a comment!

Facing the Situation: Chicago Med "Don't Want to Face This Now"

 

Talk about facing the situation this week on Chicago Med.

This Is Us "A Long Road Home"/""Birth Mother"

 

"A Long Road Home" 

While Kate and Toby visit her ex-boyfriend, we revisit the 18-year-old Kate when she's planning to get an abortion. During the mandatory waiting period, she sees Marc, but after hearing him apologize, he's still the same person and decides to leave and have the abortion. Meanwhile, in the present, Kate visits Marc, who's not doing too well, and tells him that he hurt her, but she's happy now with what she's got with her family and leaves, driving off with Toby. 

Randall and Beth try to figure out whether or not a stranger (Hai) knows his biological mother, as said in a letter. After figuring things out and talking to Kevin, Randall, and Beth called Hai and chatted and even planned a visit to meet with him.

Kevin learned that his film will be relocated shortly, close to Madison's due date. Kevin revisited when Randall called to tell him he should leave Sophie after meeting a talent agent. Kevin calls Randall, and while they talk, they make their peace. 

This was a great episode from beginning to end, with great performances from Chrissy Metz and Hannah Zeile. That moment when Metz's Kate meets with Marc for the first time in years and returns the disease" that he left with her (the pain). That was a powerful and applause-worthy performance. The Kevin and Randall scene when they made their peace was a bit short, but after watching it for the second time, I loved it, and it had me grabbing the tissues. 

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"Birth Mother"

Beth and Randall travel to Louisiana, where they meet Hai and listen to the story of Randall's birth mother. The first 

I love this episode! This episode will probably be my favorite of the season so far. This episode was well-written, with well-developed characters, and the performances were from Sterling K. Brown, Jennifer C. Holmes, and Angela Gibbs. 

This episode is worthy of an Emmy nomination for writing and performance. If you haven't watched this episode, please do so.

Quick Thoughts

I can't wait for this week's episodes of One Chicago. Looks like Fire and Med will be once again high drama. It seems that Dr, Charles might be learning soon about his daughter's pregnancy. Will and Ethan, let's see who wins this battle. I'm going with Will. 

While on Fire, Severide and Kidd's relationship looks to be not going the way we had hoped. Come on Kelly, tell her already! Looks like Gallo might have gone heroic again, but does going against Casey's order was the right thing or not? And looks like we get a little Brett and Casey scene this week (oh boy!). 

PD looks to be another good one with the team teaming up with a victim's father, who seeks revenge. I really don't have to worry about this one because PD has really stepped up the stories when it comes to crime-solving mysteries. I just wonder what we'll be getting without characters, maybe Halstead and Ruzek talking about their relationship with one another. That would be interesting.

Scary Reunions: Single Parents "Welcome to Hell, Sickos"/"Xander and Camille"

"Welcome to Hell, Sickos" 

Happy Halloween!

"Welcome to Hell, Sickos" was a hilarious Halloween episode. As Will tries to be there for Sophie's Halloween party at school, he gets distracted by his girlfriend's birthday party and her family at one of those locked room games. As Doug takes the kids to their party at school, he forgets to decorate for the party but gets surprised when the room is all decorated ten times scarier.  But Doug learns that his twin girls decorated the place for him.

Meanwhile, Angie and Poppy have a night after their kids tell them they don't need them to trick or treat. They drink Doug's wine and soon invite teenagers to the place to have a party to see if they could be fantastic. But after a fun time, they learn that those kids have stolen all of Doug's liquor and gotten them back just in time for Doug and others to get around.

I immensely enjoyed this episode, but it's par with last season's Halloween episode. It had some perfect moments of humor and heart, but overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

"Xander and Camille" 

As Angie and Poppy have a night out, Angie spots a man and soon gets a one-night stand. But Angie learns that the man she slept with is Doug's son. Soon, Poppy gets them together for a reunion, and the two handle their hard feelings to one another while playing golf.

Meanwhile, Will teaches Miggy how to discipline after taking their devices away from them after stealing Miggy's credit card for things. But soon, the kids pull a fast one, and both Will and Miggy discuss with the kids their demands. But as they get their phones and the kids get their devices, Will and Miggy pull a fast one with the Wi-Fi shutoff.

"Xander and Camille" might be one of my favorite episodes of the season. I thought the shocking news of Doug having a son was so good and funny. But I couldn't get enough of Will and Miggy in this episode, along with the kids. It was just too amusing and with memorable moments. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Single Parents Wednesdays at 9:30/8:30 on ABC.

Close to the Suspect: Chicago PD "My Brother's Keeper" /'False Positive"

"My Brother's Keeper" 

When a man is murdered, the Intelligence Unit investigates that'll track back to the family member of the victim. The father of the suspect would take the fall knowing that his son was killed in for revenge on the real murderer who killed his uncle.

Meanwhile, Ruzek gets a patrolman upset because he doesn't like the way he is abusing his recruit. It led to an investigation, but mainly during their investigation, the Intelligence team didn't get the backup they needed. To settle the score, the officer asks to fight Ruzek for the respect he wants.

"My Brother's Keeper" was a solid story after the big crossover event. IT felt like an easy investigation for the Intelligence, but the story for me focused on the Ruzek vs Patrolman. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

"False Positive" 

When two young boys are found murdered, the Intelligence unit investigates the killing as it leads to guns, money, and drugs. During the investigation, the Unit uses a new device that's new to the police that takes a photo or video and identifies it. After getting a suspect, it turns out that the device doesn't work well with people of dark color, and their only suspect ended up attacked and dead.

Voight believes it was someone from the inside who had to have done it, and when looking at the gang members, he found one person who happens to be second in command. After talking with the gang boss, their suspect gets his butt kicked and ends up dead. Halstead, on the other hand, didn't take it so well, knowing that he put an innocent man to death and that Voight had the real suspect get killed.

"False Positive" was another excellent episode. I thought the performance between Jesse Lee Soffer and Jason Beghe worked so well in this episode. The writing was good. All in all, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

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

A Path to Growing: Fresh Off The Boat "Chestnut Gardens"/"Practicum?!"

"Chestnut Gardens" 

The Chestnut is back! Matthew Chestnut returns and it makes Jessica, Eddie, and Trent all suspicious on his return. Jessica sees that Chestnut has taken Louis away from his passion idea of starting a garden and sets up a plan with Eddie and Trent to get Chestnut out of Cattlemen. After Louis learned what had happened and tells Jessica he was disappointed in her; she learned that Louis did start that garden but handed it off to Jenny. Jessica tells Louis that she's happy and that his career move is a business consultant.

Meanwhile, Honey asked Emery and Evan to babysit Marvin while he's on his boat. Emery thinks that Marvin is just old school when it comes to being disrespectful to women. But after teaching Marvin the ropes on how to be a gentleman in the 90s but it turns out the trash-talking comes from Honey herself. But it does give Emery asking about his perspective on women but Evan gives a pep talk that helped him.

"Chestnut Gardens" was a good episode. Bring back Matthew Chestnut and having a conflict wit Jessica, Eddie and Trent with Louis was very good and had very good character development for both Louis and Jessica. At first, I thought the Evan/Emery/Marvin story was going to be a snooze but the ending had a very surprising and heartfelt moment. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

"Practicum?!" 

When Evan starts wearing a necklace, Jessica starts to worry about him and investigates by using her shadow teacher at Evan's school. There she meets Evan's new friend Geoff and starts embarrassing Evan with remarks about things including his boom booms with applesauce. Evan tries to get his mother out of his school and when Jessica sees how he's been acting, she turns to Emery and learns that Evan just needs his space as he's growing. As she confronts Evan at Geoff's party, they both apologized.

Allen Iverson is coming to Orlando and Eddie wants a signed jersey from him, but Jessica and Louis won't let him skip school. That is until Louis learns that Eddie is writing a paper on his hero for a scholarship that happens to be about Iverson. A jealous Louis picks up Eddie from school to take him to see Iverson but tries too hard when he fakes a car problem that turned into an actual car problem. Soon Eddie learns the truth and forgives Louis, who finally took him to get that jersey signed and even get banned from all NBA games.

"Practicum?!" was a very good episode from start to finish. While I've been loving the dynamic between Eddie and Jessica; the character and relationship growth between Jessica and Evan through the last couple of seasons has been amazing;y well-written. The Eddie and Louis story was just hilarious at times and even the pop culture references in this episode couldn't be denied on how funny it still was. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.


You can catch Fresh Off The Boat Fridays at 8;30/7:30c on ABC.

Friendship and Brothers: Supergirl "Confidence Women"/"Tremors"

"Confidence Women"

"You jump, I jump right?"

"Confidence Women" was a nice backstroy between the relationship of Lena and Andrea. As Andreawas trying to break into the DEO and take Rip Roar; she fails and ask Lena for help. We jump back to fiftheen years when they first met and it was besties til they upon their search for the medialian. But when Andrea got the medialian, the relationship between hers and Lena went bad and we see how they're relationship with Kara and even Russell, Andrea's boyfriend and Rip Roar, had developed.

Even though Lean agreed to help, she gets the medialian; even though there were no powers from it. Andrea tries to get Russell out but ailed when Leviathan came and killed Russell. Andrea will have the power of the shadows; but both Lena and Kara know of the name Leviathan.

Good writing and character development. As much as I thought this was a good episode for Andra's point of view; I was a lot interested in of Lena's as it had more of an understanding of how people she cared for had disappointed her. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"Tremors" 

With Lena keeping the medialian, a new threat comes in the name of Rama Khan, the movement of Earth. Lena and Kara go to the Fortress of Soiltude for a weapon to use against him; but it leads to Lena using the fortress against Kara and tells her the truth about how much she has hurt her.

J'onn goes to his father for advice about how to deal with his brother's loss; but learns that his brother isn't too far that he's at Lena's lab. As he meets his brother, they share memories of what J'onn has done and the two reconnected.

Alex and Kelly could be on the verg of a brekup but I don't think it will after what had happen between them.

"Tremors" was a good solid episode. The most that I would get out of it is between Kara and Lena and J'onn and his brother. Those two stories holds up this episode with strong character development and good writing. Katie McGrath gives her best performance in this episode so far. Overall, I give this epsode an 9/10.

You can catch Supergirl Sundays at 9/8c on The CW.

Hang On to Your Butts: Chicago Fire "Buckle Up"/"What Went Wrong"

"Buckle Up"

After a rough but heroic crossover week, firehouse 51 deals with strange car accidents that have been occurring and more. Here's a recap!

After being called to multiple car accidents, one of which Mouch is in trouble for getting an independent worker to help, Seveide investigates to which comes to learn that the independent car towing company is the one causing the accidents.  Of course, Halstead comes in and busts them out of the business.

Stella goes off to fire training camp, at first it seemed to be like a new kid at school with no one bonding with her. But that all changed when she showed off how good of a firefighter she is by answering the questions correctly and even thinking that she's got a future.

Mouch comes up with an idea to have the firehouse informed more by creating The Burn Notice, the weekly newsletter. Well, that idea didn't turn out the way that he had hoped as Brett and the others get involved to be more informed. When Bowden sees whats been going on he had ended the letter altogether. All Mouch wanted was some cake for his birthday.

And not to forget, was last week the end of Cruz and Chloe? Oh man, I'm glad it wasn't and thanks to Brett by talking with her about the life of a firefighter; I'm so glad that she went back to Cruz with a lovely cake pops to ask him to ask her.

"Buckle Up" was a nice easy episode after an eventful week. Yes, it was fun, even with the newsletter storyline. The Stella story was very good of showing how she's the better firefighter than the others that are a bit higher up. And the mystery of the week was good but not as solid as the others. I don't blame the writers to come up with something light, I can understand. But that ending was so well damn good! Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

"What Went Wrong"

When a house fire kills a family member, was it an accident or on purpose?

When 51 gets called to a house fire that kills a grandmother; Severide and Cruz question the fire as it might have been set up by the grandmother's son-in-law. Soon after looking through and bring in CPD, it was the grandmother's daughter that did it.

Meanwhile, during that house call, Galo was ordered to open the backdoor to vent and not to go in. Well, after seeing the kid who lived in that house come running, Gallo goes in but almost gets burned from the backfire when Cruz and Severide went in. Casey knew after seeing him what had happened and asked him for his perspective of what had happened.

But instead, he tells how it went but Casey doesn't believe him. After being ordered to do a whole bunch of chorus around the firehouse, Gallo finally opened up to Casey about that night he was rescued and his family died in the fire. Turns out that's what Casey wanted to hear from the beginning and talked to him about talking about those moments will make him a better firefighter.

Oher around the episode: Brett, Foster, and Stella take on the idea of a female lounge. While it seemed like a good idea turns into a disaster with other female firefighters trashing the place. Also, with everyone knowing about Cruz's engagement (thanks Brett), he asked Severide to be his best man. All I got to say is watch out.

"What Went Wrong" was a very good episode from beginning to end. Loved the storyline between Casey and Gallo, while things start off good turns bad after Gallo's bad decision making; in-which got him to tell Casey the events of that fire that killed his family. That was som great writing right there. The case of the week was pretty good; as I thought it was the son-in-law and not the daughter that killed her own mother. And the female lounge was a nice humor story, didn't win overall the best one but it was good. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

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

Wake up and Smell the Roses: The Good Place "Chapter 45: A Chip Driver Mystery"/Chapter 46: Help is Other People"

"Chapter 45: A Chip Driver Mystery"

The Good Place isn't just about being good over bad; but how you should never give up on something when trying to make things work. In this episode, Michael tells Bad Janet, who's in Janet's void, a story about what had happened in the last six months with their group and how much things seemed so doomed that really turned into a positive outcome.

It was basically how the group tries to get Brent to be apologetic after a book that he wrote was totally offensive to the group. But after what seemed to be a failed attempted, Eleanor and the group started coming up with another plan. That's when Michael tells Bad Janet that that's what they're doing coming up another plan after the other had failed because they don't give up. Soon instead of turning bad Janet into a marble, he lets her go and gives her a book to take back.

"A Chip Driver Mystery" was a good episode from start to finish. It was a good character development with some of the supportive characters from Brent and even John. There are still on the edge moments in this show when it comes to when John learns that Jason isn't a monk and Brent trying to apologies. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

"Chapter 46: Help Is Other People"

With only hours till the experiment is over, will Eleanor and gang make it? Here's a recap!

As the clock is clocking down to the end of the experiment; Eleanor and gang feel pretty good about how this all will end; that is until Simone has been putting the pieces together of what she really thinks is going on. When Tahani and Jason learn of this, she tries to blow the idea away until John blew Jason's cover of not being a monk. 

With only a few hours till the celebration; Eleanor and the team figure out a way to stall until the clock strikes midnight. They use Michael and his sad magic trick show and when bringing up Brent for a trick an earthquake comes and shallow him only hanging on. Eleanor and Michael get Chidi, Simone and John to stay to help Brent while they wait to see what happens next. Turns out only Chidi stayed with Brent while Simone and John left. 

With minutes to spare Eleanor and Michael pull off one more trick: admitting they are in the bad place. While leaving Chidi and Brent to think; they were hoping that Brent could pull off a hell mary that ended up not happening at the buzzer. 

"Help Is Other People" is a hilarious episode that really kind of gave us the perspective of what Michael was going through in the first and second season of the series. The pace and the development of the characters were brilliant as we just hope that Brent would pull off that one miracle moment of saying, "I'm sorry." Now with the experiment over what will happen now? Hell, what happened to Simone and John? Could Michael and Eleanor pull off a reset? Oh man, I can't wait to see where this will be going. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch The Good Place Thursdays at 9/8c on NBC.
