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.

Connecting: This Is Us "In The Room"
Just as we're awaiting the arrivals of the new generation of Persons, this past week's episode might have outshined with another story that's well connected than just being related.
"In the Room" was another amazing and moving hour episode that's while playing with the emotion and sometimes intense. Whether it's Randall and Beth being there for Madison, as she's dealing with intense labor, until (spoiler alert) Kevin gets there in time to see their two kids. Kate thinks that Chloe might have second thoughts, but meets her new baby girl.
Let's not forget seeing Jack and Rebecca taking a trip to the cabin without the kids for the first time; while dealing with a busted pipe that has ruined some of the kid's artwork, except for one. And Kevin and Randall finally having a short talk but meaningful talk.
But while those had such amazing and powerful moments, the one literally really connected to the theme of this episode. The episode tells the story of Nasir and Esther Ahmed from the time that they met, the birth of their son, and learning about the work that Nasir had begun to work, developing a program that will have people connecting virtually through computers.
The story was beautifully well-told and pretty much won over this episode. It's gotta be right up there maybe top five, top three of the best so far this season.
Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.
