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.

This Is Us "In The Room" Episode Preview

 


Here's a preview of this week's episode of This Is Us.

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"

Fresh Off the Boat" TMI: Too Much Integrity (TV Episode 2019) - IMDb

"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.




Fresh off the Boat - Episode 6.09 - Lou Wants to Be a Millionaire ...

"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"

Single Parents (S02E08): Every Thursday Should Be Like This ...

"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

"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.
