Pushing the Limits: Chicago Med "Better is the Enemy of Good"/"Fathers and Mothers, Daughters and Sons"

 

"Better is the Enemy of Good"

When one of Will's clinical trial patients comes in with complications, he goes through everything to ensure that it's not the trial drug. Whether it's the drug or not, Will tries everything he can to find the answer. Even checking out the trial drug, he learns the patient was using the real medical. It turns out that it was a tumor that was causing her symptoms. 

After getting a package from his ex-wife, Dr. Marcel and Manning help treat a patient with aggressive cancer disguised as pneumonia. Seeing the patient and his husband got married after learning of how long the patient has to live. Watching those two getting married gave Marcel the courage to go through the package his ex-wife dropped off, which happens to be stuff from their daughter, including a tape of her first birthday.

After not receiving anything from that DNA search for a living member of Auggie and moving forward with the adoption, Maggie soon gets word that Auggie has an older brother living in California and that he and his adoptive parents want to meet. At the same time, Sharon deals with her son, who was upselling to Dr. Abrams during a procedure.

Dr. Charles helps a patient, a doctor, who begins to have a psychotic breakdown after seeing a colleague who died a year ago. After a toxic screen, Charles learns that the patient has been taking supplements that make him delusional. 

Meanwhile, after coming in late, Dr. Choi returns to Med, showing signs of pain and fever. After an episode with Dr. Charles' patient, Ethan Colipase told Charles and April he had a procedure at another hospital.

"Better is the Enemy of Good" was an excellent episode, Halstead being Halstead pushing the limits to save his patient and protect the trial drug. You could see the resemblance between Ethan and Dr. Charles's patient, that they have to be better. I don't know. I feel that Auggie meeting his older brother might turn into something more. Could Ethan and Dr. Virani be a thing? 

Overall, I give this an 8.5/10.

"Fathers and Mothers, Daughters and Sons"

After pulling a crazy stunt in the previous episode, Ethan needed to hire someone to help carry the workload. He sees that an old Navy mentor, Dr. Dean Archer, was on a list of candidates. But could employing a mentor be a good idea? Even April questions it as she gets annoyed seeing Archer giving orders to Ethan when treating a patient. 

Dr. Charles and Maggie help treat a patient suffering from a delusion that her deceased baby is still alive through a doll. Assisting the patient through the deception also helped Charles and Maggie with their issue with Charles' daughter moving to Arizona—Auggie's older brother's adoptive parents adopted Auggie. 

Meanwhile, Natalie deals with her mother suffering from heart failure, and having Will wanting help makes Marcel a bit jealous. Halstead suggests to Natalie a drug trial, but Marcel believes that the LAVD is the best for her until she gets a new heart. But Natalie and her mother went with the LVAD. 

"Fathers and Mothers, Daughters and Sons" was a fantastic episode. Of course, I ate up the Manstead scenes again and hoped that Natalie would go with the drug trial for her mother. Steven Weber's first appearance was good as well. But I thought Maggie's storyline in this episode was fantastic and heartbreaking as she has to lose Auggie and learned that she gave up a baby for adoption. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

I am so ready for the return of This Is Us. As much I enjoy a nice hiatus (due to work and other things), I'm ready to get in with what looks to be a Kevin center episode. Does anyone feel that we're in the Big Three trilogy for this season? Because after the previous episode with Randall, I'm thinking we're in the part of the season where we dive into these three characters. 

Emotions were high in the previous episode for me and it looks like this upcoming episode will be as high as well.

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.

To Take and Search: Chicago PD "Informant"/"No Regrets"

"Informant" 

When the drug carfentanil has taken the lives of children in the neighborhoods, the Intelligence Unit jumps on the case. Hailey uses her CI to get close to someone who's known to sell the drug, but by the time they are working on it, the guy makes a drug bust and dies from the drug that he is taking. Voight uses Darrius as their informant to stop the seller from selling the drug; while the plan is in play, Hailey's CI is made by Darrius, who later gets killed.

Hailey takes the death of her CI very hard and wants to put Darrius away, but after capturing the drug seller of the carfentanil, Hailey has a talk with Voight about how things get done that aren't pretty.

"Informant" was an excellent Hailey-centric episode that puts her on the spot of knowing what should be right and wrong when it comes to someone killing her CI. It was a powerful one to say because the character of Hailey's CI was entertaining and relaxed—good writing and character development in this episode. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"No Regrets" 

When a drug bust goes well, Burgess finds a dead woman in the alley. Burgess and the Intelligence investigate Jane Doe to learn that she was part of a messing case that included another woman. Soon, the Intelligence would have their suspect and go into the home where they found the other woman, but her child was taken from the suspect/kidnapper/father of her baby. After spotting the suspect at a local store, hell broke loose, and the suspect got shot and died. 

With no whereabouts of the child, they search for the suspect's mobile home, where Burgess finds and helps give the kid his medicine. Meanwhile, Burgess learns that she's pregnant, and after telling Ruek about it, she decides whether to keep the child; in the end, she's keeping the child.

"No Regrets" was a good episode from start to finish. This episode was excellent for Burgess, and it was a fine, good one. The performance of Marina Squerciati was excellent. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

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

Decide and Love: Chicago Med "Who Knows What Tomorrow Brings"/"Too Close to the Sun"

"Who Knows What Tomorrow Brings" 

Let the party begin!!

"Who Knows What Tomorrow Brings" was an okay episode from start to finish. Dr. Charles and Will help treat a patient who believes he's a vampire, but it turns out he's got Hepatitis B. While Natalie and Elsa try to treat a daughter who was in an accident but died due to respiratory issues. Dr. Choi, April, and Marcil try to help a military amputee but get blocked by the army officers because of her status as AWAL. But as Maggie starts her chemo treatments, she meets a man she brings along for Dr. Marcil's crawfish party, which ends with April and Marcil kissing.

This was a good episode. Dr. Charles and Will's story was exciting and weird, but in a good way. This could have been a good Halloween episode. The story about the military soldier was a tough one as she was trying to get to her brother's wedding—good episode, well written and well-performed. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"Too Close to the Sun" 

Sometimes things come back and bite them in the butt.

Noah gets attacked, and April and Marcil learn that he's been keeping that patient they helped treat a few episodes ago. At the same time, Maggie discovers that Ben has measles and has to suspend his treatment to get treated for the measles. Will and Curry treat a patient whose transplanted kidney is in trouble.

But the story to take away from here is when Dr. Choi and Charles treat a patient who happens to be a live-streaming star who lets his viewers decide for him. It causes tension between one another, and the patient comes to his senses.

"Too Close to the Sun" was a good and powerful episode. Marlyne Barrett gives another strong performance as Maggie sacrifices to help fulfill Ben's wishes.  That story was the best out of the rest in the episode. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

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.

Standing Up for What's Right: Chicago Fire "Welcome to Crazytown"/"Seeing Is Believing"

"Welcome to Crazytown"

When 51 is called during a hostage situation; a fire breaks out and Kelly and Severide perform the Batman and Robin rescue. But during a high stakes situation, Herrmann and a cop have a beef with one another that doesn't go so well with Herrmann. The cop writes a report on Herrmann that might end his career.
Herrmann tries to make amends with the cop by apologizing and offering him a free beer at Molly's. But that didn't end so well with him. After talking to Severide about the situation, Severide, who's been offered a job but turns it down. But when Severide sees an opportunity that could help Herrmann and that was to take the job and make the report go away; which it did. 

Brett goes out for lunch but doesn't think it was a date; while everyone else thinks it is. When she goes after having lunch the guy was about to kiss her until she stopped him. Turning him down, she thought it was a friendly lunch outing and not a date. After using her method during a call, Casey bought her wine and told her that he's gonna bet money that she'll find that special someone.

And not to mention Cruz is about to give his slamigan public marker, for the wedding. After getting a spot by the bathroom; there was another firefighter who had the same model. After getting everyone from 51 t-shirts, Cruz hoped they would come to support and not only did they do but the firefighter's ripoff model broke down and Cruz made a big sale. 

"Welcome to Crazytown" was a very good exciting episode. It was intense at times between stories from Herrmann and Severide. The Cruz story might have been the humor story but it had a good story that if Cruz didn't win against the other firefighter, things will be thrown. And the Casey and Brett just seem to be like Manstead in away building slowly. Overall I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"Seeing Is Believing"

When Herrmann and the team go to a house fire; they learn that the fire was started by a lit candle that was too close to the couch. It just so happens that happens to be made by the factory that killed Otis. Herrmann goes far and beyond to talk to the CEO of the company to tell him that their products are dangerous.

Herrmann protested along with 51 to meet with the CEO outside the building. A week later Herrmann had a plan and needed the 51 team's help; which was to show the CEO what their furniture can do near flames. Later that day the CEO came down to show his respects to Otis with his kids and told Herrmann that things will change.

Severide begins his new job and looks into an arson case that turns out to be accidental. But it's his partner that could be an interesting tag team, even though she might have a crush on Casey. Stella had a difficult time balancing out work and her new training class session that even not Casey upset during a call. And while Foster is in need of money, Brett gives her the solution of being the bike instructor at the local spin cycle gym. Even though Foster was rough, she got the company to have signups that crashed their website.

"Seeing is Believing" was such a great and powerful episode; mainly Herrmann who deals with the mattress factory that killed Otis. Not only was the scene when Herrmann and everyone from 51 in front of the company building were powerful but that scene when Herrmann talking to the CEO and liting the couch on fire was so damn good. I think Stella will adjust to her jobs, at first it might be overwhelming but she'll pull through. 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.

HOLY SHIPS!: Stranger Things 3 "Chapter Six: E Pluribus Unum"/"Chapter Seven: The Bite"

"Chapter Six: E Pluribus Unum" 

Oh man, shit just got real in this episode. Here's a recap!

Just as Dustin, Steve, Robin, and Erica learn what the Russians are doing, they open up the door to the upside-down. Soon, they would get busted; Steve made sure that Dustin and Erica escaped without harm. The Russians interrogated Steve and Robin and veveninjecthem ted with the truth serum. But by the time the boss knew who they were, Dustin and Erica made a distraction to get Robin and Steve out of there, too. Tissues, please.

 After making a deal with the scientist, Hopper has had enough of it and gives him a choice of either leave or stay. You would have thought this would be Hopper's biggest mistake, but it turns out that he was right. They learn of the secrets of this machine called the key that opens up the cups upside-download. Of course, that freaks both Hopper and Joyce, and they approach the government for help. 

After saving Nancy from the mind flayer, Elusese uses her power to locate Billy. But from where he's discovered, that could be where he and the mind flayer wanted. El uses her power to discover what happened to Billy; instead of going through the actual events, she starts seeing parts of his past that always make him hiss today. Asarns where the source of the mind flayer is, Billy sends El to another part of what will happen when the mind flayer takes over. Eventually, El got out of there, and just as the residents of Hawkins were at the town fair, they all got to the factory where the mind flayer was and disintegrated to make the mind flayer grow. Holy Fuck!

This episode was another on-the-edge-of-your-seat kind of thrill. Not only did we see our character learn about the mind flayer's plan, but Billy's backstory of how he got to be who he is today. And after that, I still don't have a good connection with the character and believe he'll probably die.  I thought Erica stood out way better in this episode than in the previous episodes this season, and the relationship between Dustin and Steve got even more heartwarming. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"Chapter Seven: The Bite"

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD!!!!

As El and the gang figure out that the Mind Flayer is coming from them, they are just in time before it starts attacking Hopper's house. But as El fights the tongues-tongues, she gets bitten and dragged towards the flayer. Mike and the rest hang on to El as Nancy and Lucas try to stop it, and just as El is released, she snaps the Flayer's head in half, and they escape.

El is badly hurt, but as the gang tries to find stuff to help her, Lucas and Will find something that could help with a bit more firepower in fireworks. Just as Mike talks to El and tries to tell her that he loves her, Dustin finally reaches them through their walkie-talkies.

While communicating with Mike, Dustin, Steve, Robin, and Erica hide from the Russians at the mall's movie theater of Back to the Future. Just as Dustin comes back asking Erica for batteries, Robin and Steve, who are high, leave and soon not only get sick but share some deep feelings, Steve having feelings for Robin and Robin having feelings for another woman. Both are on good terms anyway.

Hopper and Joyce got a dose of reality from Muarry by sleeping with each other and getting it over. They stop at the fair to find the kids but are hunted by the biker and the Russians. Alexi gets killed by the bikers, and Hopper diverts them to the funhouse, where Hopper not only redeems from fighting one of the guys but escapes with Joyce and Muarry.

As Dustin, Steve, Robin, and Erica are hiding from the Russians, when you think that they are goners, El saves the day by throwing a car at them. But as everyone catches up with what they know, El is hurt very badly, and Mike and the gang see the severe wound and a wormlike creature in her leg. El screams with pain!

This episode tugs at my heart with emotions and throwback to Back to the Future. Millie Bobby Brown was excellent, and the scenes with Finn Wolfhard were terrific and so heartwarming. Alexi's death was expected, with him helping with Hopper and Joyce. Strong character development with such strong writing, as well. The episodes get better and better, and the season finale sure feels like something big is going to happen. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.
