English Teacher "Birthday" Season Finale

 

In the season finale of FX's English Teacher, will Evan decide to stay friends or be in a relationship? Here's a recap.

Moving Forward: This Is Us "The Adirondacks" Season Finale

 

The season five finale was as good as it could have gotten, especially for that twisted ending. Here's a recap!

It's Kevin and Madison's wedding day, and it's not going too well with Kevin, as things are going the way he had hoped it would be, perfect. As Kevin shows his groomzilla, Randall, Miguel, Tobey, and Uncle Nicky try to help as much as possible. 

Meanwhile, as everyone had arrived, Rebecca wanted to hear about Randall's trip and learn about his biological mother, which she got overwhelmed and made Randall uncomfortable. But the two resolved the issue, and she learned quite a bit about Laura. 

Tess wasn't too happy with the bride's maid of honor dress, so Beth decided to help her make it into her own style. Deja awaited her from Malik about his college interviews and got a surprise when he told her that he not only got four out of four but five out of five because he's got an offer from Harvard.

Tobey gives Kate good news about him taking that job offer in San Fransico, but that means he'll have to be there three times a week, which he thought that they could move. As Kate called her boss to tell him that she would resign but he wouldn't because she's the best assistant that he's had, even if he didn't really want her at first. 

In a flashback, we see Rebecca upset that Jack taped a Pittsburgh Pirates game over her taped Dynasty wedding episode and had the kids see them fight for the first time. Not only did they try to show them that they love each other, but they put on a wedding for them as well.

As Madison prepares for her wedding, she looks back to when her mother left her and her father and the time that her father wasn't all there for her. Not to mention learning how she got into the eating disorder program in the pilot episode. That's when she decided that she didn't want to marry Kevin and called off the wedding. 

After the wedding was called off, Rebecca, Randall, and Kate comfort Kevin. In their conversation, Rebecca asks Kevin to build her that house that Jack had planned to do. Plus, in a five-year flash-forward, we come back to when Kevin was practicing his speech, we thought it was for his wedding, but it turns out to be Kate's wedding...to her boss from the music school! WTF!

"The Adirondacks" was such a great season finale that had many great moments; one of them I just ate up was Randall being there for Kevin, like holding the umbrella for him as he tries to avoid Rebecca talking about his mother. Nicky's wedding gift and well that powerful seen when we see the Pearsons together talking about what would Jack have said and talked about the future (which had me in tears). 

Talk about shocker, right? I didn't see that one coming at all. Kate and her boss getting married? Wow! I was at least thinking of Kevin and Sophie getting married. Man, I can't wait to see where the final season will go and how it will end. 

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10 and the season a 9/10.

Thoughts:

This season finale for both Med, Fire, and PD is all hands on deck type of watching. I think that PD might have another great ending to the season (once again). 

Even though we know that April and Natalie are leaving, I just wonder if Natalie will be the one to save Will's career one more time? Will Dean take responsibility for what had happened to Ethan? I can't wait!

Fire looks to be so good. That proposal was epic in last week's episode! Casey's speech to Brett that he loves her and that Dawson is no more got me all excited! Is that what gets Brett a bit cloudy during a call in the season finale? I feel there's going to be a surprise yet to come, I just don't know what.

PD, let's just call it for what it is, I wanted Wednesday to get here as soon as possible. Why did no one go with Burgess? And I just wonder if this will drag into next season? 

This is a "get your popcorn ready" type of finale!

Excited for the season finale? What do you think will happen? Leave a comment below!

The season finale of Chicago Med, Fire, and PD airs this Wednesday beginning at 8/7c on NBC and airing the next day on PeacockTV.

"When You Only got 100 Years to Live:" Single Parents "No. Wait. What? Hold On" Season Finale

The season finale of Single Parents asked the one big question: Will Angie and Will admit their feelings for one another? Here's a recap!

Picking up seconds from last week's episode, Will and Angie are freaking out nearly the wild and crazy night they had just had. As soon as they try to figure out what has happened, Miggy, Poppy, Doug, and their kids show up to help pack up. As soon as Derek shows up, Angie takes Poppy to the other room and tells her what had happened and that she couldn't remember who cuddled who first. While Will tells Doug and Miggy about his feelings for Angie and that he might have been the one who cuddled.

Poppy and Doug help make Angie and Will's relationship happen, but Derek makes Will stop it all after thanking him for helping out with Angie and Graham. But while Angie was packing in her room, she saw Will's laptop of a slide show of her and Will with the song "100 Years." Will tries to tell Angie that he loves her but instead wishes her the best with Derek for the summer.

Meanwhile, Miggy tries to help Rory decide who stays at Angie's house for the summer in a bachelor-style decision. I think it might have been Jared.

As Angie says her goodbyes, Doug gives her some JAG snacks but tells Will not to watch their show without or remember to miss her. As soon as they leave, Will plays the song while they clean up Angie's house. But as Angie listens to the music, she goes through her bag with that candle, and after smelling it, she remembers the moment she cuddled and heard Will tell her that he loves her.

"No. Wait. What? Hold On" was such a funny and intense season finale. The fierce parts come at times when playing with the Will and Angie characters, whether or not they will tell each other their feelings for one another. As much as Will wants to tell Angie that he loves her, I thought it was heartbreaking and intelligent to have him not tell her. Will is a character who cares for Angie, and after a moment with Derek that ends with a thank you and hug, he's given up his feelings for her to try being happy with Derek.

I'm hoping for a season three for this series. This show is brilliant in its way, with heart and humor. I want to see season three right now, this time tomorrow, to see where this goes. You can catch Single Parents on ABC.com, Hulu, or Google Play.

Connecting with Each Other: All Rise "Dancing at Los Angeles" Season Finale

The season finale of All Rise finds a way to pull of an episode during the COVID-19 crisis and pulls it off very well. Here's a recap.

At the start off the episode, we see everyone zooming each other; while they're doing their exercises and trying to keep their mental status in check during this COVID-19 pandemic. Almost everyone is worried about the backlog of cases as the list gets longer and longer by the day; Judge Carmichael comes up with an idea of doing a test trial using Zoom and lives streaming it or the public.

The first live stream trial is about a man who's in jail for stealing a car and being aggressive with his brother. Lopez and Callan have a difference of opinion of a pled deal. After both brothers were arguing during the trial; Carmichael looks back and talks to her mother about a message that she tried to understand; that pretty much was suitable for the case. Soon the two brothers come to terms; with the brother that was in jail got to be released that day to be with his pregnant wife.

Along with seeing Judge Carmichael bonding with her mother; we see how both her and Callan could never be in the same room for a trial. Callan and Amy talk about seriously moving in with each; Lopez and Watkins not only was dealing with the pandemic; but celebrated the night with dinner. But ended with a group dancing that got everyone from the cast, crew, and fans of the show that ended the episode on a high and happy note.

"Dancing at Los Angeles" couldn't have been better as it was such a good hour episode. I thought the overall episode was very good and the cast gives a good performance as they filmed this episode in their homes. The case of the week story was very good and had a good emotional impact. I think while the case of the week was good enough; being distracted and keeping busy was also another theme in this episode; along with thanking the men and women that put their lives on the line for us. That live stream DJ was pretty good and fitting throughout the episode. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

I hope that CBS would consider renewing All Rise for a second season. I very much want to see what comes next for this cast of characters that I very much got invested in.

You can catch episodes of All Rise available on CBS and CBS All Access.

Telling the Truth: Chicago PD "Silence of the Night" Season Finale

The season finale of Chicago PD felt like a season finale as Atwater faces his biggest challenge yet. Here's a recap!

Tough Decisions: Chicago Fire "51st Original Bell" Season Finale

The season finale of Chicago Fire had us questioning whether someone was leaving Firehouse 51. Here's a recap!

Standing up: Chicago Med "With A Brave Heart" Season Finale

The season finale left us not only with some good moments, but they also ended it with such a cliffhanger. Here's a recap!

As Charles plans to give his future bride a wedding that she won't forget; he comes to terms when a former patient comes back with a tumor in the brain. Charles pushes him to have the surgery but he must be awake during the surgery. After having a minor freakout, Charles gets his patient to calm down and got the surgery done. Charles finally takes into consideration from Robin and instead of taking his wife to Hawaii; they get married and bring Hawaii to Chicago is probably one of the best scenes of the episode that will just grab your heart. 

Ethan and April not only dealing with Emily and Bernie; but treating a husband who's suffering from a deer tick bite. But when they learn that the husband's wife is suffering from Alzheimer's and living with his girlfriend to help with home care and support. After learning from their patient, Ethan and April take that into their dinner with Emily, Bernie, and family as things seem to work well with their arrangement. But as Ethan and April take the dishes to the kitchen, April tells Ethan that she's late on her period. Uh oh!

Conner learns that his dad's death was questionable and that someone must have done something wrong. But when he has to perform surgery with Ava, things just don't seem right as she tries to win him back again. Could she have done it?

Will and Natalie treat a returning patient whose husband believes that there's something wrong with his wife's heart. After many tests, there was indeed a problem and as soon as she gets the surgery, her husband talks to Will about commitment as in having a family. After the surgery, they plan to start a family pretty soon. On the other hand, Will learns that the son of the mobster is out of jail and could go after him. After learning from the husband of his patient, he stands his ground and not go back to witness protection. That gets Natalie involved, who escapes a marriage proposal, to support Will, but when she talks to him in the parking garage, they get hit by a van. Will gains conscious from the hit to see the guy, who fainted, but also Natalie who is suffering a head wound and loses consciousness.

"With a Brave Heart" was a really good season finale episode. The episode left with some memorable moments from Charles and his wife to Ethan and April. The moment that really had me off my chair was Will and Natalie; yet I'm worried to know what will happen to Natalie and will #Manstead be together telling that other dude bye-bye.

I really didn't care for the Conner and Ava story as it really ran its course. But when the new season starts, I really want a good and solid explanation on where they had gone. I think that Conner and Robin go off to the sunset to better adventures. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10. I give this season a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Med this fall on NBC.

No Man Left Behind!: Chicago Fire "I'm Not Leaving You" Season Finale

Herrmann had it right: strap on your chinstrap. This season finale was one hell of a ride. Here's a recap!

As the hunt for the arsonist is still on, Severide finds another fire, but this time, he thinks it is her; instead, it is a homeless woman. Severide and Kidd work together. Even with her help, she had a feeling that the arsonist might be back with her ex-husband, which she was, and after getting cut with broken window glass, the arsonist was finally taken down.

Soon after all of that, Kidd learns that Severide hasn't been around all day and heads to his cabin, where he tells her that he'll be the man that she wants and soon spends the night in the house. Looks like things are looking good for Kidd and Severide.

Maybe not for Casey. As he gets word from Boden that he is invited to a dinner party and must bring a plus one. Who would he bring? How about Brett? Well, as he was about to ask her, they got interrupted by Herrmann and Ritter. Later at the bar, Brett sees Kyle again, and he tries to tell her that he's moving and wants her to come along, but she doesn't pick up the signs. But as Kyle leaves, Brett bumps into Casey, who tells her that he thought it was great that she and Kyle are back together. NOT!

The next day, Brett gets a surprise visit again from Kyle, who asks her to marry her. WTF! Of course, she leaps and says yes. AH!!! She tells Casey that he was the one who got her to decide after the talk at Molly's. Thanks, Casey, for ruining what could be a perfect relationship. Your plan backfired, and the #Breasey t-shirts must be removed.

But the main event from this season finale was the major cliffhanger, as Firehouse 51 deals with a mattress factory fire. The fire gets out of hand; Casey and his team try to get everyone out while Severide and Cruz try to open the door to free more workers. Everyone is in the building (including Brett, Forster, and Boden); every one has gone up to safety or the check-in zone. Casey and the team go back to help Severide, and Herrmann and Ritter try to cool the pipes, but the pressure rises high when the episode ends with the gage breaking.

"I'm Not Leaving You" was a season finale that was intense emotions; I even wanted to hit the wall at times. The Kidd and Severide story worked so well in this episode, but I hoped to see more coming from the arsonist. I had a feeling that once Severide solves and captures the arsonist, he would be able to let things go and move forward to be a better man to Kidd. As much as I would always be happy for Brett, I would like to slap Casey if he was trying to play or tease them to open things up with her.

Does anyone think that with everyone in the warehouse fire, a couple won't be back? It's almost like the cliffhanger at the end of Season Two. Could we lose Brett? Could we lose Herrmann and Ritter?

This episode was so good. From the beginning to the end, with some good performance, the writing was good with such strong character development. Overall, I give the season finale a 9/10 and the season a 9/10.

Emotional Ending: Superstore "Sandra's Fight"/"Employee Appreciation Day" Season Finale

The season finale of Superstore left us laughing, but it left us with a shocking ending that will not only leave you in shock but grabbing the tissues. Here's a recap!

In "Sandra's fight," Amy tries to deal with Sandra, as she fights and takes a stand for unionizing the workers. At Corporate, Jeff and the other heads aren't too happy with what's going on but Jeff tells Amy that if she doesn't stop Sandra that the executives will shut down and that the unionizing the employees will make it an automatic decision.

As Amy and Dina rush to Corporate, she leaves Jonah in charge to stop Sandra, but as she gets everyone in a union meeting it seems that everyone is on board, even Jonah. That wasn't pretty when Amy came back. As for Amy, she gets not only Corporate to decide which Cloud 9 store to shut down, but the manager at that store as well.

In "Employee Appreciation Day," started off as Amy tries to win her employees back by treating them with free stuff so they don't join a union. Things don't go so well and it even gets worst as Corporate sends in U.S. ICE to track any undocumented immigrants, which gets everyone in a crazy to try and get Mateo out. But as Amy and Cheyenne try to take Mateo out; he surrenders and was taken away in one of the most emotional and tearjerking moments of the season.

This hour-long season finale was as good as the previous season finale. But the second episode of the season finale (Employee Appreciation Day) that really won it; as it was the most powerful, emotional and tearjerking episode that I've seen this season on Superstore. I literally had to hug my grandmother after the episode; it was good and the performances were also brilliant and even the writing. This episode should get nominated for an Emmy at least. Overall, I give the season finale a 9.5/10 and the season 4 overall a 9/10.

You can catch Superstore this fall on NBC.

Putting a Team Together: Brooklyn Nine-Nine "Sicko"/"Suicide Squad" Season Finale

The season finale of Brooklyn Nine-Nine not only left us laughing out loud but revisiting past characters and even one shocking moment. Here's a recap!

In the season finale, Holt signs a case of a victim being murdered by a cannibal to Jake and Charles. Holt doesn't trust their work to solve the case. Instead, Commissioner Kelly tries to help by informing them about a new tipline app. But it turns out that the app isn't really what got the case was solved; Jake and the team realize that Kelly has been tapping phones all over the area.

After learning about Kelly's tapping phones all over the city; Jake puts a team together with a team that's known as Suicide Squad of The Vulture, Chief Wuntch, and Captain Stentely. Jake's plan was to have Stentely get kidnapped and hoped that Kelly's team would make a call. Instead, it didn't work the way they had hoped it would as The Vulture's team got on the case and got Jake's fingerprints.

It was when Holt and Wuntch went to the police ball that things took another twist thinking that Wuntch was acting like her old witch again but instead she was playing Kelly. As Kelly resigned, Wuntch takes over and not only to make things better for the worst. She gives Holt a demotion as she learned in the episode that he didn't complete his training and was assigned to traffic duty. And gives Terry Holt's position. 

"Sick" and "Suicide Squad" might not have been better than the season five finale.  But it really was a good enough episode. It not only had a strong character development; but even brought back some past characters that you wouldn't think would be back. Also brought a moment that you would have thought to happen but turns out it didn't but it was still satisfying.

I really had thought that in the finale would have that surprising moment for Amy and Jake that would lead to having a baby. But Holt gets demoted was a satisfying surprise. It places the question of how the nine-nine would do without him as their captain. How will Terry be as the Nine-Nine's new captain? That would be something to see when Season seven comes next year. Overall, I give the Season 6 Finale an 8.5/10 and Season 6 a 9/10.

What did you think of the season finale of Brooklyn Nine-Nine? Would Terry make a great Captain in the Nine-Nine? Would Holt even last as a traffic cop? Will there even be a heist when the show returns in the new year? I call Valentines! Leave a comment and tell us what you think!

You can catch Brooklyn Nine-Nine coming back in 2020.

"Chimichanga!" Fresh Off The Boat "No Apology Necessary" Season Finale

The season finale of Fresh Off The Boat just felt like when the show premiered. Here's a recap!

As Eddie is enjoying his cultural exchange program; it was cut short when he crashed the bus into a drive-thru Wendy's. As Jessica and Louis watched the news coverage; Eddie was brought back and was banned from the program that also includes both Emery and Evan.

After hearing Eddie's side of the story, Jessica takes his side and ungrounds him. Louis thinks that they should apologize; but Jessica doesn't think so but instead makes a deal with the program to take in a child, a little girl. Even though it seemed all fun and all, it turns into a nightmare for the family when the kid uses Louis' hairdryer and takes Eddie's room while Eddie stays with Even and Emery.
Evan gets to babysit Marie but when Honey and Marvin caught him make threats to the baby just to reason with her. But he tries to apologize to Marie in the way that he forgives her. 

Soon, Jessica and Louis see that the girl is on Taiwan news station; talking how bad it is living with the cheeseburger boy's family. That makes Jessia and Louis talk to the program and Eddie makes his apology, but the program wanted Jessica and Louis to do the same too. Louis, instead of his usual apology, doesn't and threatens. The girl is sent back and everything seems to be back to normal.
As the family drives home, Jessica tells Eddie that she's undoing her ungrounding on him. Than Louis puts on some tunes and the family starts singing to Sugar Ray, while Eddie puts on his own music and watches as he enjoys his music the family is enjoying theirs.

"No Apology Necessary" was a very nice ending to the season and a really fitting ending. If the network had placed the previous episode and this episode as a one-hour episode; it would be a real fitting series finale because it really felt like one. The episode really played out so well; even though I had high hopes for Eddie to be responsible this season, the screw up was a hilarious twist.

Not to mention the Louis and Jessica scenes about apologizing I couldn't get enough. There were moments in the episode that takes a direct montage to the pilot like the family driving listening to music. While there was some strong character development, the cast puts on a very good performance. If ABC announces that the show has been canceled today, tomorrow or around the May upfronts; as much as I would be sad for the show to end, I feel satisfied for the ending of the episode as it really felt like a series finale. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch Fresh Off The Boat Fridays 8/7c on ABC.

Opening The Door: This Is Us "Her" Season Finale

The season three finale of This Is Us found the door that was not only comforting but also opens a new door that asked more questions. Here's a recap!

Let's just start with Kate and Toby because I think we should start with some good news coming out of the finale. As baby Jack is pulling through and breathing on his own; the doctor wants everyone to watch closing as he might forget to breathe. Rebecca is there to learn alongside with Kate and Toby of what to do when baby Jack forgets to breathe...by tapping his leg. During a moment between Kate and Rebecca, Jack forgets to breathe and Rebecca just tapped his leg while Kate was worried and trying to get a nurse. All is good as the baby was brought home.

Kevin and Zoe spend some time with Tess and Annie. Tess needs a new dress for the school dance, but doesn't know what's her own style and look. She talks about it with Kevin and the two connected as he helped with her problem. Kevin still thinks that he and Zoe being around Tess and Annie could change her mind about having children, but that's a no go. Eventually, they break up.

In the past; Rebecca getting into a car accident and had to stay a night in the hospital. Jack and the kids weren't too happy not having her around. He decides to go see her a few hours before visiting hours were to be; but the nurse allowed them to go anyway.

As for Beth and Randall, the two are having a hard time finding the door to the solution for their problem. As Deja gave Randall advice that opened his mind to resign his position; Beth found a way to make it all work: moving to Philadelphia as she wants to start her own dance studio. After thinking about it, Randall, Beth, and company pack up their things as they move.

As we come to an end, we see the future as Beth makes coffee and Randall and Tess come in. They are in apparently Kevin's home and everyone is coming that includes Toby and Jack. Kevin's son is walking around and tells Randall that Kevin is out getting take-out and soon Randall goes to see Rebecca, who's not only too good. Nicky is there by her bedside and Randall comes in to tell her, "It's Randall mom, your son."

"Her" was such an emotional and heartbreaking season finale with humor to help get through it. I had predicted that Baby Jack would make at the end of the season, plus Kevin and Zoe breaking up. I still think that Kevin and Sophie will get back together.

As for the Randall and Beth situation, I thought could go 50/50 either way. But watching them decide to move and seeing where she still has her wedding ring on when hugging Randall in the future scene; it seems that things are all right.

The heartwarming moment came when watching Jack pleading with the nurse for them to be with Rebecca after a long night without her. But the heartbreaking moment came when we see Randall walk to Rebecca's room to see her not looking so good. Could she have Alzheimer's? I had a feeling that the series finale would be around the death of Rebecca in one of the most joyous endings.

The writing and performance of this episode were outstanding. There might have been some predicted moments.  Overall I enjoyed it and I thought it was another great episode and another great ending. I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch This Is Us available to watch on Hulu, NBC.com and other platforms.
