Con Games: Poker Face "The Sleazy Georgian"

 

This week's Poker Face episode offers a fresh take without early murder. It focuses on a layered con that leads to tragedy, tension, and a rare justice win. With strong performances from Melanie Lynskey and John Cho, this installment stands out as a character-driven thriller about deception, loss, and a satisfying power reversal. Here are my thoughts.

Next Level Drama: Chicago PD Season 8 (Episodes 7-16)

 

The rest of Season 8 of Chicago PD (Episodes 7-16) was utterly unique! Once again, the show has stepped up and made it even better than the previous season. Here's a recap and thoughts!

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 can't wait for the return of One Chicago after a nice two-week hiatus break.  Looks like when the shows return next week that we'll be getting more great drama. Steven Webber returning to NBC as Ethan's Navy colleague. I wonder what will the outcome be with Dr. Charles's custody battle for his daughter. Could Maggie be given Auggie the chance to be with his brother? 

Also, Old Romance vs New Competition with Natalie as her mother comes into the ED and it's not just for a visit.  Crockett getting a bit jealous of how Will has been comforting Natalie during her mother's stay at Med. #TeamManstead all the way!

I'm already looking forward to Fire with Severide's story of this certain place that has given him mixed emotions. Wait, Herrmann is going on vacation? I wonder if Granger will fill-in for Herrmann since Casey isn't a liking the fill-in. 

Let the jealously of Brett and Granger begin for Casey, I guess. Yikes! 

And PD could this be the end of Atwater and Ruzek's partnership? Buckle up this episode will be one wild ride to watch.
