Changes and Reflections: Chicago Med "When Your Heart Rules Your Head"/ Chicago Fire "My Lucky Day"

"When Your Heart Rules Your Head" 

When a depressed and suicidal patient comes into Med after trying to end his wife's suffering from her illness, Dr. Choi believes that the right thing to do is turn the patient into PD. While Noah, who disagrees, does the unthinkable as he helps the patient end his life. But in this case, while Noah wasn't turned into PD for his actions, Choi decides to let him go. 

Meanwhile, Halstead is put in a situation with April, who believes their patient is the perfect fit for his trial but barely makes the mark. That is until Halstead gives the patient fluids and decides he's fit for his practice. While Dr. Charles continues to fight for custody for his daughter to not move to Arizona, Anna visits with Natalie and, while asking for birth control instead, learns that she's pregnant. 

"When Your Heart Rules Your Head" was such an enjoyable episode! I felt the Noah storyline would come up, but it didn’t disappoint me. It delivered some fantastic moments with Ethan and April, though I think it's time for Noah to move on from Med. I really appreciate what Noah did; his intentions were genuinely good. 

I found the Halstead-April and Natalie-Anna storylines even more engaging! The lessons we've learned from Anna seem to hold a lot of potential, and I’m curious to see how that will unfold in the next episode, especially since she kept her pregnancy a secret from Dr. Charles at the end. Halstead, striving for perfection in his trial (they need to solidify that date), did something remarkable by incorporating a patient into his practice. 

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"My Lucky Day"

Herrmann and Cruz ride up the elevator on a fire call at a high-rise building that would soon get trapped. With the loss of communication with the team, Cruz and Herrmann try to find a way to get out while the elevator cable wires are snapping off. They heard the team in danger and Mouch trapped. Trying to keep calm, Herrmann and Cruz talked and told their stories outside the firehouse, including about bringing children into the world. 

"My Lucky Day" is one of my top five favorite bottle episodes of Chicago Fire! Just a friendly reminder: Rule #1 of riding an elevator never mentions it's your lucky day, especially after Herrmann's experience! All jokes aside, this week's spotlight show tugged at my heartstrings. The episode had such an incredible mix of intensity, warmth, and the genuine fears faced by the team, making it a truly memorable watch!

Who isn't satisfied with Cruz's news (spoiler alert: Cruz and Chole are expecting their first child). 

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

Parenthood: Chicago PD "Unforgiven"/"In Your Care"

 

"Unforgiven"

When the Intelligence Unit gets a case of a murdered Chicago police officer, the team tries to figure out whether he was killed as a dirty cop or a cop doing a good item. Upton and Halstead learn one of the suspects held a grudge against the cop, which later indicates that the cop was helping a domestic abuse victim and that the victim's ex-boyfriend was the suspect. 

Meanwhile, Voight tries to get the Dupety Superintendent on board with the investigation while also trying his best to get the cop's family his pension. And while Upton and Halstead's relationship grows, she gets news of her father's health and tries to visit him at Med.

I enjoyed this episode; it's probably one of my rewatchable favorites with the extreme case of the week and whether or not this cop was good or bad. I admit I ate whatever from the Upton and Halstead scenes while enjoying Upton's battle to see her father. I think at the end (spoiler alert: she did see him), she'll regret not seeing him. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"In Your Care"

When the Intelligence Unit gets a case of a rash of carjackings and learns that the offenders happen to be teenagers who are part of a teen prostitution ring that is about to be aged out from the fostering system. While only capturing one of the teenagers, the rest would flee to where they were planning to go, Georiga. 

Meanwhile, whether or not they are back in a relationship, Burgess and Ruzek seem to be in a good place. That is until during this case when Burgess reunites with Mykala at the foster building and learns that her foster mom is having difficulty taking care of her. Soon, the foster mom gives back Mykala, and Burgress jumps to taking care of her, which puts her relationship with Ruzek on hold (I assume as he had a different opinion on the idea). 

"In Your Care" was an excellent episode, and while I thought the case of the week was good, it had its moments. This episode was one of Burgess's best, with her deciding whether or not to take Mykala in her care while taking on this case. 

Marian Squerciati gives another good performance, along with Patrick Flueger and even LaRoyce Hawkins. Their character gave Burgess some excellent and heartwarming advice on whether or not to take care of Mykala. 

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

This Is Us "A Long Road Home"/""Birth Mother"

 

"A Long Road Home" 

While Kate and Toby visit her ex-boyfriend, we revisit the 18-year-old Kate when she's planning to get an abortion. During the mandatory waiting period, she sees Marc, but after hearing him apologize, he's still the same person and decides to leave and have the abortion. Meanwhile, in the present, Kate visits Marc, who's not doing too well, and tells him that he hurt her, but she's happy now with what she's got with her family and leaves, driving off with Toby. 

Randall and Beth try to figure out whether or not a stranger (Hai) knows his biological mother, as said in a letter. After figuring things out and talking to Kevin, Randall, and Beth called Hai and chatted and even planned a visit to meet with him.

Kevin learned that his film will be relocated shortly, close to Madison's due date. Kevin revisited when Randall called to tell him he should leave Sophie after meeting a talent agent. Kevin calls Randall, and while they talk, they make their peace. 

This was a great episode from beginning to end, with great performances from Chrissy Metz and Hannah Zeile. That moment when Metz's Kate meets with Marc for the first time in years and returns the disease" that he left with her (the pain). That was a powerful and applause-worthy performance. The Kevin and Randall scene when they made their peace was a bit short, but after watching it for the second time, I loved it, and it had me grabbing the tissues. 

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"Birth Mother"

Beth and Randall travel to Louisiana, where they meet Hai and listen to the story of Randall's birth mother. The first 

I love this episode! This episode will probably be my favorite of the season so far. This episode was well-written, with well-developed characters, and the performances were from Sterling K. Brown, Jennifer C. Holmes, and Angela Gibbs. 

This episode is worthy of an Emmy nomination for writing and performance. If you haven't watched this episode, please do so.

Friendships and Secrets: Single Parents "Big Widow Wives"/"Sport"

"Big Widow Wives"

After the fire, Angie had a hole in her wall. So she and Will try to patch it up. Angie tries to get Will to help her with other things. But when an opossum is left in the house after the wall gets patched, Angie decides to deal with it herself. Afterward, Angie decides that with the hole in the wall again, she and Graham will stay at Doug's house for a while. 

Meanwhile, Poppy learns that Doug is having a night with the guys, but after she decides not to go with him, she does and learns that Doug doesn't meet with his guys but a grief group of widows. A bit jealous, Poppy talks to Doug about it, and she becomes part of the group. 

Others: Miggy is now learning the meaning of a hard day at the office. When babysitting the kids, he gets them to do chorus for him with a point system that worked. Rory helps Graham, afraid of the fire accident, by pulling a Grey Gardens look that doesn't go well. Graham did ace his fear when helping Angie with the opossum. 

"Big Widow Wives" was an excellent episode. I couldn't get enough of Angie and Will's friendship chemistry in this episode. Whether or not they get to be together in a relationship or keep being friends, I'm okay with it. This episode was one of Brad Garrett's best episodes, with solid character development and excellent moving performance. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"Sport"

As Will gets the Gator soccer team ready for the short season, Poppy asks if Rory can play, even though he has never played soccer. That is, until he can kick the soccer ball like a pro. Will saw the opportunity that using him could take them to the championship, but there's a cost; Rory is not nine but ten years old. 

After Poppy begs Will, he keeps Rory on the team as the team goes to the championship. That is until Poppy takes him out by telling everyone his actual age. It left a lovely moment between Poppy and Rory about hiding his age, and ended up with a birthday party the next day. 

Doug is getting tired of Graham coming up to him like a dog. Angie tries to help by telling Graham to give Doug some space but instead tells him to be himself and let it be. But that pushed Doug to a moment when he talked hard about not wanting to bond with him. Angie hears that, and she tells Doug why Graham has been acting like that because he wants a male role model.
During Rory's birthday party, Doug helps Graham to learn how to tie a necktie. It was so moving that it got Angie eating more of Doug's Jag snacks. 

"Sports" was a hilarious episode. While the Rory, Poppy, and Will story was probably the funniest story of the episode, the best happens between Graham, Doug, and Angie. That story between Angie, Graham, and Doug was so good and showed a lot of heart. And I couldn't get enough of Doug's JAG snack moments. I got to figure out snacks for my shows. Anyway, overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Single Parents Wednesdays at 9:30/8:30 on ABC.

Close to the Suspect: Chicago PD "My Brother's Keeper" /'False Positive"

"My Brother's Keeper" 

When a man is murdered, the Intelligence Unit investigates that'll track back to the family member of the victim. The father of the suspect would take the fall knowing that his son was killed in for revenge on the real murderer who killed his uncle.

Meanwhile, Ruzek gets a patrolman upset because he doesn't like the way he is abusing his recruit. It led to an investigation, but mainly during their investigation, the Intelligence team didn't get the backup they needed. To settle the score, the officer asks to fight Ruzek for the respect he wants.

"My Brother's Keeper" was a solid story after the big crossover event. IT felt like an easy investigation for the Intelligence, but the story for me focused on the Ruzek vs Patrolman. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

"False Positive" 

When two young boys are found murdered, the Intelligence unit investigates the killing as it leads to guns, money, and drugs. During the investigation, the Unit uses a new device that's new to the police that takes a photo or video and identifies it. After getting a suspect, it turns out that the device doesn't work well with people of dark color, and their only suspect ended up attacked and dead.

Voight believes it was someone from the inside who had to have done it, and when looking at the gang members, he found one person who happens to be second in command. After talking with the gang boss, their suspect gets his butt kicked and ends up dead. Halstead, on the other hand, didn't take it so well, knowing that he put an innocent man to death and that Voight had the real suspect get killed.

"False Positive" was another excellent episode. I thought the performance between Jesse Lee Soffer and Jason Beghe worked so well in this episode. The writing was good. All in all, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Chicago PD on Wednesdays at 10/9c on NBC.

Fight to Be Right: Chicago Med "Got a Friend in Me"/"It's All in The Family"

"Got a Friend in Me"

Tensions rise between two doctors, a secret will be revealed, and a doctor will do the unthinkable. Here's a recap!

While Noah starts his surgical training with Marcil, Choi doesn't think that Marcil teaches with the proper methods. But when the patient of Choi got sicker and sicker, the best thing to do was surgical. At the same time, the surgery was a success. While both Choi and Marcil think differently, they see eye to eye for what is best and get what they all want: their patient feeling better.

Maggie, dealing with the chemo, is still secretive with her colleagues about her cancer. After seeing CeeCee, she comes to terms and reveals her secret that she's battling cancer. Will tries to help a patient suffering from DVT, but then it soon turns into a P.E. that ends up killing his patient.

Natalie, who's been on one patient at a time, deals with a child with nose bleeds. But the problem comes when the parents have their methods of treatment. But when Natalie believes that their child has pneumonia and goes against the parents' wishes to treat, that leaves her to lock herself with her patient and give him the treatment. 

"Got a Friend in Me" was a powerful and shocking episode. Marlyne Barrett gives a solid and powerful performance as Maggie shows her struggles with treatment and work. But the powerful scene comes when she finally comes to Natalie and April and removes her wig in front of them. I'm very much enjoying the Choi and Marcil battle chemistry. Two minds think differently. The episode has good writing and character development. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"It's All In The Family" 

Noah and April helped treat an assault victim they found in an alley. As soon as April and Noah learn who the victim is, they try to help her but instead disappear. But Noah brings her to his apartment to stay till she knows what to do next. This could be an issue down the road!

Dr.Charles and Ethan help a patient who happens to be a childhood friend of Charles' growing up who's been transitioning. Charles learns from his friend and her ex-wife maybe two people can reconnect and comfort each other. That's what happened with Sharon and Burt.

Will and Marcil deal with an issue of treating a Jehovah's Witness; Will learns that the patient broke the rules of the religion. But when the patient found out that his parents left and that he had surgery and was given blood, he was distraught.

As Natalie might face jail time for what she's done to her patient, Maggie gives her a sense of hope and tells her to trust her gut. That leads to one more test, but by the time she is about to do it, she gets arrested as the court order is lifted. It turns out that Natalie was right and that the little boy had an autoimmune disease. But that isn't all as Natalie confronts Phillip that she will not marry him, and just as she gives him a ring, Will comes and tells her the truth about how Phillip slipped the ring while she was recovering.

"It's All In The Family" was an excellent episode. Torrey Devitt performs outstandingly as Natalie battles everyone, with a few supporting her efforts to treat that child. The episode had good stories, writing, and performances from the cast. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Chicago Med Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC.

The Meet and Treat: Fresh Off The Boat "S'mothered"/Hal-Lou-Ween"

"S'Mothered" 

After many, many excuses used, Eddie's girlfriend finally meets with Jessica and just when Eddie's fear of them meeting each other couldn't get him going; until he didn't see that they would become best friends. For the next couple of days, Tina and Jessica would be at each other's side and talk about what they liked and didn't like about Eddie. It got so out of control for Eddie that he made Jessica thought that Tina didn't like Amy Grant. But Eddie realizes that he was wrong for hiding Tina from his mother and it looks like their relationship couldn't be anymore stronger.

Meanwhile, Louis tries to figure out what he's capable of doing for his career. After thinking he could be a great barber or a tour guide, a motivational speaker could be the ticket. After failing to do so, Emery gets Louis back on his feet and even learned that he had motivated someone to start a business about people visiting other people and seeing their photos and etc that would be something called MySpace.

"S'Mothered" was a very good episode from beginning to finish from Jessica and Tina's meeting to even Eddie going nuts about the two being best friends. The Louis story was very good and yet delivered a better shocking ending with the MySpace scene. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"Hal-Lou-Ween"

BEST HALLOWEEN EVER!!!!

Louis plans to give the best Halloween to Jessica by making the house turn into a haunted house; but just after she says no, things turn around when she sees a student dressed up as her character from her novel.  That really got Jessica going and even dressed up and went trick and treating with Louis. But as she adds up all the clues to where the book club would be at the school, she learns that Louis put all of this together to get her to enjoy Halloween.

Evan and Emery try to get Eddie to do one last Halloween with each other before going to college and just when they try to dress up as one of them; it turns into not so funny for Evan. Eddie and Emery apologize and try to dress up as The Three Amigos, but Eddie doesn't quite fit the costume.

"Hal-Lou-Ween" might be my favorite Halloween episode of the series. It was so cleverly written perfectly for character development with Jessica and Louis. Finally, Jessica enjoys Halloween! The brother's story was so good and nailed the ending pretty well as they do the Three Amigos salute. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.


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

Decisions: Supergirl "In Plain Sight"/"Dangerous Liaisons"

"In Plain Sight" 

As the mystery unfolds about William, a decision is made for one superfriend and the secret is revealed.

As J'onn tries to track down Malcife; Malcife uses Alex to take down J'onn for what he had done to him. But instead of fighting against Alex and DEO techology; J'onn came out to his brother and apologiezes to him. Not seeking forgiveness I guess, J'onn uses the portal device to send his brother back to the phamtom zone.

Kara and Nia does some snooping on William and it takes them to Mexico to what is assume is a murder plot on someone. When Kara gets there, the victim was dead and William rides away. Both Nia and Kara learn where William is staying and as Kara snoops, she learns that William is undercover investigating Andrea because he suspects that she's doing something bad. Looks like William and Kara are now on good terms.

As James takes Kelly to their aunt's house, the town seems to be in poor shape. James learns that the town has been corupt and that no one sitcks for justice for the little guy. After witnessing all of that and hanging out with a kid, that lead to James' decision to leave National City and to be the owner of the town's newspaper.

The episode ended with Malcife not ending up in the phantom zone but at Lena's lab for which she hopes they will work together.

"In Plain Sight" was a fablous episode from beginning to the end. The James and J'onn storyplot was so good and overwhelming at times. It kind of feels that seeing James at the end of the episode has come full circle for the characrer; but I do think he'll be back from time to time. OVerall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"Dangerous Liaisons" 

As Kara and William search for anwsers together, they'll unlock the biggest mystery to this invesitgation.  As William tell Kara about why he's so detertmine to take down Andrea that his best friend was dating her and ended up dead; or so he thought.

A new villain named Rip Roar steels one of Lex Luther's weapons and tried to use it to melt the ice in Antarctica. As Kara and J'onn stopped a massive water leak there, Nia stopped the massive wave from hitting National City. As Rip Roar is captured, Kara tells William that he is his best friend.

Meanwhile, Lena works with Malcife to work on her device that ended up betraying him by using his power against him. Andre gets a visit from the lady from Leviathan telling her abour Rip Roar and Alex and Kelly celebrated their first dateannivery a bit late; but they made it up.

"Dangerous Liaisons" was a good episode. Now that we've got to know William, I'm really liking the Kara and William investigation even when they were in Andrea's office during the late evenings. I thought the writing was good as well as the character development of William, mostly. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Supergirl Sundays at 9/8c on The CW.

Hang On to Your Butts: Chicago Fire "Buckle Up"/"What Went Wrong"

"Buckle Up"

After a rough but heroic crossover week, firehouse 51 deals with strange car accidents that have been occurring and more. Here's a recap!

After being called to multiple car accidents, one of which Mouch is in trouble for getting an independent worker to help, Seveide investigates to which comes to learn that the independent car towing company is the one causing the accidents.  Of course, Halstead comes in and busts them out of the business.

Stella goes off to fire training camp, at first it seemed to be like a new kid at school with no one bonding with her. But that all changed when she showed off how good of a firefighter she is by answering the questions correctly and even thinking that she's got a future.

Mouch comes up with an idea to have the firehouse informed more by creating The Burn Notice, the weekly newsletter. Well, that idea didn't turn out the way that he had hoped as Brett and the others get involved to be more informed. When Bowden sees whats been going on he had ended the letter altogether. All Mouch wanted was some cake for his birthday.

And not to forget, was last week the end of Cruz and Chloe? Oh man, I'm glad it wasn't and thanks to Brett by talking with her about the life of a firefighter; I'm so glad that she went back to Cruz with a lovely cake pops to ask him to ask her.

"Buckle Up" was a nice easy episode after an eventful week. Yes, it was fun, even with the newsletter storyline. The Stella story was very good of showing how she's the better firefighter than the others that are a bit higher up. And the mystery of the week was good but not as solid as the others. I don't blame the writers to come up with something light, I can understand. But that ending was so well damn good! Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

"What Went Wrong"

When a house fire kills a family member, was it an accident or on purpose?

When 51 gets called to a house fire that kills a grandmother; Severide and Cruz question the fire as it might have been set up by the grandmother's son-in-law. Soon after looking through and bring in CPD, it was the grandmother's daughter that did it.

Meanwhile, during that house call, Galo was ordered to open the backdoor to vent and not to go in. Well, after seeing the kid who lived in that house come running, Gallo goes in but almost gets burned from the backfire when Cruz and Severide went in. Casey knew after seeing him what had happened and asked him for his perspective of what had happened.

But instead, he tells how it went but Casey doesn't believe him. After being ordered to do a whole bunch of chorus around the firehouse, Gallo finally opened up to Casey about that night he was rescued and his family died in the fire. Turns out that's what Casey wanted to hear from the beginning and talked to him about talking about those moments will make him a better firefighter.

Oher around the episode: Brett, Foster, and Stella take on the idea of a female lounge. While it seemed like a good idea turns into a disaster with other female firefighters trashing the place. Also, with everyone knowing about Cruz's engagement (thanks Brett), he asked Severide to be his best man. All I got to say is watch out.

"What Went Wrong" was a very good episode from beginning to end. Loved the storyline between Casey and Gallo, while things start off good turns bad after Gallo's bad decision making; in-which got him to tell Casey the events of that fire that killed his family. That was som great writing right there. The case of the week was pretty good; as I thought it was the son-in-law and not the daughter that killed her own mother. And the female lounge was a nice humor story, didn't win overall the best one but it was good. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Chicago Fire Wednesdays at 9/8c on NBC.

Around the Dinner Table: This Is Us "Storybook Love"

Sometimes things don't always work out but they can be the most memorable. Here's a recap.

While Kevin tries his best with Cassidy and her husband, he learns that Cassidy's husband still loves her; but wants her before going into the army. Kevin and Nicky get to have a bond moment that involves what each of their fathers did with them, cut a slice of ice cream in the box.

Randall and Beth deal with Tess, who suffered from a panic attack. Randall tries to help her by telling how he handles it, but she doesn't want to listen to him. Beth remembers to what William told her about how he felt bad passing the panic attacks to Randall and remembered a relief that he used that she too used on Randall and Tess. And Tess tells Randall and Beth what had happened a week or so ago.

Kate is trying to figure out what the gift that Kevin and Randall got her. Thinking that it was Rebecca coming, turns out to be a blast from the past the piano that Rebecca had at their new home after Jack died. Under the seat happen to be music sheets with photos of them during that dinner and talked about Kate's boyfriend/boss.
As Rebecca and Kate move to a new home where they decide to through a dinner party for the two newlyweds Kevin and Sophie. But the dinner doesn't go so well and Rebecca took a stand and finally yells at both Kate, Kevin, and Randall to act up and enjoy the uncooked hens. After Rebecca talks about how she and Jack in their first home tried to make the perfect dinner; but it just went completely wrong but it was perfect because it was memorable.

"Storybook Love" was another excellent episode with strong character development and performances from the cast. Mandy Moore gives a standout performance during the dinner scene with the kids and Miguel. Nicky and Kevin's story was so good, but it was the end where Nicky asked Kevin about to have a slice of icebox ice cream. I do kind of wonder where this thing with Kevin and Cassidy will go, but I think he's to serve a purpose to help with her marriage. Randall/Beth/Tess was another powerful story and that method that William gave Beth is something that I might want to try. Strong writing and plot. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch This Is Us Tuesdays at 9/8c on NBC.
