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.

Chicago Med, Fire, and PD return Wednesday, March 10th beginning at 8/7c on NBC. 

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.

I'm really looking forward to this week's episode so much. I just wonder (if possible) that Kevin will get to Madison before the babies are born. But from the short description of this episode, it looks like he may not.  I'm sure that the writers will have come up with a magical moment. 

I just wonder what the milestone moment would be for the flashback storyline in this episode.

Helping and Answering: Fresh Off The Boat "TMI: Too Much Integrity"/""Lou Wants to Be a Millionaire"

"TMI: Too Much integrity" 

Louis tries to start a new way to start a new business consulting. But soon finds away by using Honey's mommy blog called TMI (True Mommy Insights). Honey sees that Louis is taking the fun out of her new blog when he pushes her and the website too far after getting sponsors. Louis apologies to Honey after he took off the post from her blog and posted the original post.

Meanwhile, Jessica is jealous to see her boys having more fun at the new neighborhood piazza that's in their circle drive neighborhood and tries to stop it by using a fun wheel. She tries to ruin the piazza for the boys by taking over the park; which got the boys upset. Both apologies and played boccie ball.


"TMI: Too Much Integrity" was a fun and good episode. It wasn't the best overall episode this season but it was entertaining. Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

"Lou Wants to Be a Millionaire" 

As Lou goes on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, trying to win a million dollars; while filming he and Eddie argue over the idea of adding Asian fusion to the restraint menu. Meanwhile, Emery and Jessica are locked out of the studio but he uses acting to get back but Jessica doesn't follow him as she believes it's dumb.

After a while, Emery comes back for Jessica and talks about him loving acting and wants her support. After she accepts, as they go in Lou gets one question that uses the phone a friend to Eddie and tells him that his idea was a good one. As for the answer, Lou got it wrong.

Evan awaits for Lou's phone call from millionaire but gets distracted from Marvin's accident phone switch and Grandma's phone call to the all science question hotline.

"Lou Wants to Be a Millionaire" was a very good episode. I've very much enjoyed it from start to finish. While Eddie and Lou's story was good the Jessica and Emery's story was the better out of this episode. Seeing Jessica, who's not a fan of acting, finally accepting her son as he wants to be an actor. I hope that producer calls back soon for Emery. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

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

Family and Education: Single Parents "Every Thursday Should Be Like This"/"A Place Where Men Can Be Men"

"Every Thursday Should Be Like This"

"Every Thursday Should Be Like This" was one of the season's best episodes. The episode had hilarious moments, and Tony went at it to cook the turkey to the kids trying to figure out a play to put together for their parents. And while Miggy and the kids' school teacher are a thing, the moment with Doug was also perfect. 

But it was Angie, Amy, and Will who had the moment. As Angie tries to bond with Amy, things get out. Amy tells Angie that she thinks that Sophie is annoying and soon realizes and leaves. Angie tries to fix it by telling Will and taking him to her at a local restaurant where singles go on holiday. But Angie never told Will what Amy said, and the three got back in time for turkey. 

But it was the final moment as Angie sat at the table that Amy thanked her for not telling Will about what she had said but also for keeping Angie's secret. I'm guessing she has feelings for Will. 

This episode was so well written, with moments of emotions and hilariousness. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10. 

"A Place Where Men Can Be Men" 

It's time to tell the birds and the bees after Graham got suspended from school after bringing Doug's porn magazines for show and tell. Will and Doug try to help Angie give Graham the talk, but things get complicated when Will learns that his father had cheated on his mother after seeing a secret letter and photo in a math book. Doug tells both Will and Graham the meaning of how sex can be curious and confusing. 

Meanwhile, Poppy Miggy and the girls see Rory's new look. But after he reveals the new look, it looks like one of the girls wants to look different, too, but the other sister isn't for it. Poppy tries to help find each other with their look while Angie and Sophie bonded. 

"A Place Where Men Can Men" was a beautiful episode of learning about life, role models, and finding your looks.  The cat gave an outstanding performance that was funny and heartwarming. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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.

Family and Reunion: All Rise "Maricela and the Desert"/"How To Succeed in Law Without Really Re-Trying"

"Maricela and the Desert"

"Maricela and the Desert" was a very good episode from start to finish. It had a very nice balance of seriousiness drama with enough humor to carry this episode well. Judge Carmichael takes a case of a murder that a child testifies that the suspect is her father. But as everything leads to her father being the suspect; Emily Lopez gets the detective on the case to look back and arrested the suspect and learned the truth about what had happened to the child's mother.

Meanwhile, what happens in Vegas might as well come back to the court room. When Mark and Luke, who's chaperone for the day, takes on a case that involves an injuried college student trying to get into a college fraternity; their own witness ends up in Vegas arrested. Mark and Luke head to Vegas to get their witness out but if they want him out they must play the Vegas way with the judge that ended up with a win and another as they won their case.

As I said eariler that I very much enjoyed this episode from start to finish and the performance from the cast was so good. While Missick and Camacho give another strong performance, It was Bethel and Brinson that really was enjoyable to watch that had a buddy-buddy chemistry between one another. If Luke does become a laywer, I hope he works with Mark as I think it would be a real cool duo. Overal, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"How to Succeed in Law Without Really Re-Trying"

When a blast from the past case has been re-opened for appel it turns out to be one of Lola's biggest cases and to make things worst her old nemesis is back.  As Mark takes the case the edvidences doesn't quite hold up like it did years ago, but after many times talking to one of the witness to testify; Mark and even Lola gets the win.

Emily deals with a client that tries to fool the system but while that wasn't the main story for Emily; she comes to terms to sign the divorce papers and even ask Sara if she could be her roommate, which she accpeted.

This episode was good but at times the build up was a bit overdone with Lola and Felice, her nemesis, about the re-trial case. But watching Mark and Lola back to back going over what worked and what's not going to work was very good. Throughout this season, I've very much enjoy watching these two playoff one another as they really show the meaning of friendship. Emily's story was awkward and yet enjoyable as she comes to terms on moving forward with her life. The writing was good with character development between Mark, Lola and Emily. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch All Rise Momdays at 9/8c on CBS.

Divide, Conquer and Purpose: Supergirl "The Wrath of Rama Khan" Fall Finale

Is there any good in people anymore?

Moments after the previous episode's events, as Alex and Brainy recuse Kara, she heads to Lena at Lux's mountain lab to try to apologize. Instead, she almost gets blasted with kryptonite but doesn't, and Ka heads back to the DEO to talk to Alex about the situation.

Kara makes a case that she can stop Lena from using Myriad before it's too late, but Alex doesn't see Kara's point of view and must take action. Ksaystells J'onn that maybe using Malcife could help stop Myriad before Lena could. After convincing Alex and during another situation, she agreed and even had to shut down their mind protector gadget.

As Malcife's power stops Myriad, Lena returns to her lab with Hope, and instead of getting arrested by the FB, Hope confesses to them that she was the one impersonating Lena.

Meanwhile, Andrea is in trouble with Rama and uses her to create the most powerful volcano in National City. Instead, J'onn and Kara stopped him; Andrea stopped him and sent him back to LeviLeviatheadquarters, where Gamemnae takes his powers away as the council has appointed her in his role. Oh, this should be interesting forward.

The episode ends with J'onn sending his brother back home to help, but he gets a visit from The Monitor about how he has succeeded and is ready for the Crisis. Also, the Monitor returns to Lex Luther and tells him that his mind needs use for the Crisis, but he wants him to do something about his sister.

For Crisis on Infinite Earth, we see Pariah in Central City Earth 1 about to open a secret agent door that takes him in, which probably is the cause of the Crisis.

"The Wrath of Rama Khan" was a good episode; while it wasn't like the build-up to what Arrow and The Flash have been doing (sort of,) I very much enjoyed it. While I thought the performances from McGarth and Benoist were outstanding. Cara Buono's performances in the last few episodes, including this, were a thrill. The writing was good with character development. I wonder what Lex has in store for his sister. I don't think it could be any good. Like Manstead on Chicago Med, I still have hope for Lena and Kara that they will be besties once again. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Crisis on Infinite Earth beginning Sunday, Dec. 8th at 8/7c and continues Monday with Batwoman at 8/7c, Black Lightning at 9/8c, and Tuesday with The Flash at 8/7c on The CW.

Reboot and Glue: The Good Place "Chapter 47: The Funeral to End All Funerals"

The results are in! Did they win or fail? Here's the recap!

With the experiment done, Eleanor, Jason, Tahani, and Janet awaited the final verdict from the judge at the Excellent Place while Michael met with Shawn to hear the final ruling. After trying to make a comeback remark to Shawn, the judge sees the results, with three members improving scores except for Brent. But Michael argues about how the other people that Eleanor and the gang have changed in their lives and also says that Brent was improving until the final second.

Eleanor and the gang pass the time by giving each one a proper funeral while a frozen-in-state Chidi pulls a Weekend at Bernie's vibe at the pool. Tahani gets a plane funeral, Jason receives a pool funeral, and Eleanor gets a funeral while holding a bottle of tequila. She even gives Chidi a funeral but gets interrupted by the judge making her ruling.

While Eleanor and the gang meet with Michael, the judge rules in favor of Michael. But instead of just improving on the point system, she will reboot Earth. Trying to figure out how to stop the judge, Janet takes away the judge's remote, but Bad Janet takes it after reading Michael's book. Not only did Bad Janet come, but a ton of Janets, too, even Disco Janet. At the same time, the Judge tries to find the remote in one of Janet's voids. Eleanor comes up with an idea to use Chidi to help them fix the point system.

The Funeral to End All Funerals" was such a good episode. There were so many good moments, from Michael and Shawn's insults to the Judge talking about rebooting Ally McBeal (which I'm not objecting to that idea). Even the funerals for each member were excellent and heartwarming from the characters. Once again, D'Arcy Carden does it again as Janet and other Janets. And given that this was Kristen Bell's first directorial debut, I thought she did a great job.

Moving forward, the idea of Chidi trying to fix the point system would be a brilliant idea for how it would go. With all the knowledge of being a good person in moral philosophy, could Chidi help rewrite the universal?

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

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.
