A Piece of Mind: The Blacklist "Dr. Linus Creel"

This week's episode of "The Blacklist" takes Dr. Linus Creel, a man who takes psychology into a new way of turning people into doing bad things.

We see a lady at a bank who was denied. She then later get's in her car, very up set and then grabs a gun out of the glove compartment and goes back in the bank shooting. We come to a guy who is watching this event in his car, he talks and then grabs a piece of his hair and kind of licks it and places it on the folder with the lady's photo and information.

Since this season has started, we wanted to know about what's the deal with Red's ex wife, Naomi. What information does she have that Red is protecting from Liz? Course, Liz wants to find her and talk to her. She looks into while Red give her a tip about the latest violence going on in the D.C. area.

She takes it and looks into the latest victim, the bank shooter. They try to talk to her but she was talking to the psychiatrist. As they left, they talked to others that known her, friends, coworkers and even her ex-husband.

Then the gang comes to a project that the U.S. have been doing for years called "Project 7" where they use psychology and change the minds of someone into doing something else. Keen goes and talk to a senator about it.

Meanwhile, Red, who is hiding Naomi, they talk about Liz, about this whole mess that she's been in and also the name Jennifer has come up a bunch of times as well. Red is looking for Jennifer. Could it be his other daughter? Could it be Liz's twin sister? Or maybe it could be Berlin's child? Hey things can go either way in this show, need to think outside the box just a little, right?

Red has Naomi's husband, Frank, at the house. He meets with them and tells them that he has all the papers in place for them to go to a safe place. Frank doesn't want to and that's where Vargas comes in and takes care of Frank's mistress, by telling her that he's gone from her life.

Red then takes Frank out for a walk and discuss about how he loves Naomi and will protect her no matter what. He then shows his mistress's dog from the SUV and threats him to agree. Threatening back at Red to go to the cops, Red then takes a broken stick and sticks in close to his neck. He then agrees.

Later on, Liz and the gang find out who's been setting these victims into criminals, the name Dr. Linus Creel. Liz goes undercover as a mental patient who has been since college. She talks to him about her past, from husband to family. As he goes checking on her blood work, Keen goes into his bag and look up his computer password code. She gets it and finds out who's the next victim to go wild.

As they try finding the student, who's been catfished by Creel. The student goes off in rage to kill a girl that dumped him and goes to a gun control event. Creel meets the student and tells him to shoot him. He wants to be recognized by the world who he is and also his work.

Keen and the gang get there and talks down the student. The student than shoots Creel in the shoulder, but as Keen goes to check in on him, he has a gun on her. As they talk, a sniper shoots Creel in the head ending that event.

Later on, we see Liz finding out where Naomi is at and goes there to talk to her. They talk and was interrupted by Red and Naomi and Frank leave. Both Red and Liz talk. Liz knows that Red has someone watching her, for that reason so for her protection since Agent Malik was killed.

But then Red thinks that Liz has something that she's hiding. She leaves and then we see her sitting on a chair, drinking a beer, holding a pair of keys just looking at a lock door that says Exit 2. And it ends there.

Who is Jennifer and why is Red on the hunt to find her and protect her? What is Liz hiding behind that door?

This episode was so good. Creel character really creep me out a bit. The way he talks to his victims, the pulling of his hair and then licks it. What kind of crazy person does that?

Liz seems to take on Creel and get help at the same time when she went in to talk in her undercover.

I loved the Red and Naomi scenes. There's seems to be some love that they have for each other but you can also kind of see the damage of their relationship in their eyes.

Next week's episode tackles the most deadly virus and no it's not the Ebola virus. Something much worst. Can't wait to see who this person is that's on Red's Blacklist.

A Retake of Sex Ed: Mulaney "The Doula"

With only this being the second episode of the first season, "The Doula" is literally the funnest episode so far. The reason why is that it had just enough cringe-worthy material that make you rethink of your time learning in sex ed class.

When John is dating a Doula, a person who has no medical training but helps the midwife during childbirth, he seems to like her but when it comes to her talking about her job, he gets very uncomfortable about it.

I think some of us, do find it uncomfortable to learn about sex and the miracle of life.

One scene, John was talking to the Doula at a restaurant and as soon as she starts talking about the day she had of a baby being born, John looks at certain things around as she's describing the birth, like the crowning, the stretching, the legs spreading, and the fluid as well.

As John gets sick just by looking at things and listening about it, I to get a bit sick of it and had to spin my chair around as it was still going.

Another scene in the episode was when Jade and Andre were trying to take out the old air conditioner, as soon as the Doula got there, she get both Jade and John to help as Andre pushed the machine into the apartment. It was like watching a birth, a bit distributing but funny.

John then tells the Doula that he would like to watch her do it for real. That lead to him learning what the miracle of childbirth was, with the help of Jade and Andre.

They read through books about it and even watched a tape, which by the way was the birth of Motif and we hear that his mother didn't want to see him after birth because she didn't like him.


On the other side of the story, John had to fix a problem with Lou as he's been harassing not just the female employees but also the contestant and audience members as well. It comes to find out that he needs to have some "good time." Unfortunately by the time John tries to fix it, the female employees were on strike. But Lou has seen some light into it as he had a male makeup artist do his face.


I really find this episode hilarious. The characters of John, Jade and Andre were just too funny not to laugh when they were learning about childbirth. It felt like retaking sex education from Jr. high and high school all over again, in a way that made me feel kind of what John felt.

I know it's too early to say it but as I said it before, this was the funnest episode so far.

The Waiting Game: Parenthood "The Waiting Room"

We all have those moments when someone in our family, who's about to have surgery and don't know if they're going to make it or not. That's what we were dealing with this week on "Parenthood."

Zeek is soon to have surgery the next day, the family is coming to see him and cheer him up a bit. Only the Braverman kids are there, including Amber. With all of them there, Zeek tells that he'll be back and that he has amazing kids, grandchildren and excited for his great grandchild. Given the secret out that Amber's going to have a baby.

Classic grandfather moment!

There was a moment or two when Zeek was in the hospital. One being the day before surgery, him and Camille were at his room, looking at the grave yard. The nurse tells him that he has place to put his things and that he needs to take his wedding ring off.

Zeek didn't like that and gets very emotional, even if he wasn't shedding tears. You can tell it from his eyes and voice. Another is when the family sees him before surgery, he talks to everyone and when it was time he told Camille that he was scared. Something so real just makes you wan to hug someone right now.

 The Braverman family goes through the emotions during that time when Zeek is having surgery. Camille is worrying, seating by herself just hold Zeek's wedding ring.

Adam worries too much and gives out stats of how many people could die from this surgery. Crosby is watching the Oakland A's play, trying to take his mind off his father's health.

While Sarah and Julia talk and Julia gets a package from her "boyfriend" of stuff that her dad brought to her when she was at Stanford, "Go Cal" t-shirt and a bunch of Twizzlers.

Meanwhile, Amber talks to Drew about going to see Ryan and telling him that he's going to be father. Drew decides that he's going with her and drives her there. When they get there they see a trashed up yard and see Ryan sleeping.

Ryan wakes up and sees Drew and Amber at the door. Drew can see that Ryan has not changed. Still on painkillers and a bit of a mess at this point. Amber finally tell Ryan that she's pregnant and he's reaction is excited as he could be.

Drew waits by the car, Amber and Ryan go for a walk and talk about the situation. As soon as Amber gets back to the car, she tells Drew that she's staying to figure stuff out. Drew disagrees and argues that he's not going to change even if she's having his baby.

Amber than goes back and talks to Ryan. They sit and talk about how he needs to start changing.

Later on, we see Adam a bit angry and grabs Crosby's phone and goes into the "bad room area" to tell him that their artist hasn't shown up to perform. Adam tells Crosby that he needs to do it. Crosby get's pissed off so bad that he talks on the phone to the singer and get's so angry that he throws his phone to the ambulance and drives on his motorcycle.

It's never a good idea to drive when you are mad or upset, because Crosby drove with anger, like his father and slid on his bike, twist or tweaking his knee.

As soon has he get's back, the doctor comes out of the room and tells Camille and the rest that Zeek is fine. And that they could see him. They walk down the hall, Zeek is just right down the hall from them, like you can walk into a straight line. They see him on a ventilator and as soon as Camille comes in and sit down, grabbing his hand, she puts his wedding ring back on. Soon he opens his eyes.

This episode once again is a bit of an emotional episode. You see it from Zeek and the Braverman family at the hospital.

I would hope something of the worst to happen in this episode with the clue that a family member will die. I don't want to think about that at all with this family. This family has suffered enough as it is throughout the series.

But that's life and I will admit that in the first five minutes of the show that I was already in tears.

A to Z "B is for Big Glory"

As we continue this relationship to the letter "B" the one thing to take out of this is to make sure you have a victory theme song in your head.

We see our two couple, Andrew and Zelda kissing just before they go into work. They're pretty much starting our as any other couple that you would see after a first date.

As soon as Andrew leaves with a happy smile, he is playing a song in his head, a big glory victory song. You know what we're talking about, anytime you have a huge success or have done something totally amazing that you play that one song that makes you high and might.

Just as Andrew get in his office, he sees a coworker across the hall and realizes that he has a date with her tonight.  Of course, this was before he met with Zelda. So he calls her and told her the truth about what he has plan for tonight and that he has to cancel with her.


Zelda takes it, tells him that she was fine with it, but she really wasn't, and tells him that she has a date too with a guy.  This kinds of made each a bit jealous and worry about their relationship.

They each go on their separate dates. Andrew tries to tell his coworker that this isn't an actual date because he was trying to be a friend to her after her breakup and she told him that the reason they are at this restaurant is to make her ex-boyfriend jealous.  He was a cook and he was mad and she told Andrew to run and he did.

Zelda's date didn't go the way it did either. Andrew's friend was spying on them and had a bit too much to drink. Zelda and her date left and went to his place. Andrew drove over there looking for her and saw that he answered the door without a shirt.

Andrew withdrawn and went back.

By the next day, they each felt bad. Zelda saw an envelope on her desk. It was from Andrew and
opened it up and saw a like five pieces of licence plates made in her name. She was happy and ran to see him.

She told him that she loved him and only want him. Andrew agreed, and they kissed. After that Zelda left and playing in her head for the first time her big glory song.

This episode was funny, it had some very good humor and asked the question probably to all of us, what's your big glory song?

Mine, it's "Dancing in the Dark" by Bruce Springsteen.

Ben Falcone was in this episode as an HR representative. He was very funny in this episode.

"We're Family" Chicago PD "The Weight Station"

Voight says it best that what they do, Chicago sleeps better that night. No one will expect us to do what they do to protect the city of Chicago.
The first 
This week's episode of "Chicago PD" continues just a few seconds after the shooting at Halstead that went to the bartender Maggie. Erin runs out and shoots at the suspect, who makes a getaway but not without hitting them.

Later that morning, Erin and Halstead get to the station, and Dawson and Voight talk about the situation. Ruzek learned that two gunshot victims came in, making Erin and Dawson head up.

They head up there and catch the driver of the getaway car. They get a name, and Voight and Atwater are at the apartment. The suspect makes a getaway and runs out. Atwater catches him, pins him to the wall, and Voight comes.

Later, the suspect is put in the cage; Voight has some time with him and gets religious about where he would like to go, that he's in The Weight Station. After a couple of rough tips from Voight, he talks.

Ruzek gets an officer who looks like a teenage girl because she looks young and gives some information about a phone call being tapped. The suspect mentions a guy by the name of JP.

Voight and Al go to JP's house and bring him in. They talk about the contract that's been put out there. Not only is Halstead on the list, but politicians' family members as well.

When JP agrees to do what Voight asks, they get ready, but a guy, Stallshock, calls PJ and is informed that PJ has Halstead and wants in. So, he takes Halstead alive and follows the directions.

As the squad follows PJ, he gets a phone call telling me where to go until he receives a text message that Stallshock has his son tied and beaten. This angers PJ, and he takes off, drops the car off, gets another phone call, and steals a van, taking Halstead to a location.

It throws off the squad just a bit, but they catch up, and as soon as Halstead and PJ see Stallshock in his car, he drives away. That's when Voight and Erin are on the run to catch him in a drag race, which, to any fan, I think would be very cool to be in a ride along with Voight during this scene.

The squad captures the suspect. Al goes to make another visit with Oscar. After last time, things changed after he put a hit on Halstead; he was moved to another prison location, and a couple of "his friends" were there.

Voight speaks after capturing the suspect, saying they are family and that if anyone knew what they do, they would be tied up to their necks. I have to say, every speech that Voight gives is so motivating; it gets me pumped and ready to fight crime.

We also see that Erin and her mother meet again; this is her mother's wedding day. She did make it and then went to talk to Voight about an incident just after he took her in to live with him. She says he has been a real family member to her, and Voight replies that she was the best thing that ever happened to him.

Also, when JP and Halstead are on the run, it seems that Erin has some real emotions about the safety of Halstead. Maybe she has genuine feelings for him. Who knows?

Another thing is that when Nadia was late to work, Platt got on her. It turns out that Nadia gave Platt a birthday card. Platt was speechless and later tried to figure out why. Nadia wants to be a cop; she looks up to Platt, and if you see their scenes together, they look very similar.

Halstead does go to Chicago Med and waits on Maggie's condition. There was Britt from Chicago Fire, who was there at the scene of the shooting. They talk and later find out that Maggie will make it.

Seems like the new officer has a bit of an edge with Al after bumping him in the halls. Also, he has an attitude. I would like to know about him soon.

This episode had a lot of moments. There was once a scene where Voight and Al took PJ to the station but didn't think that they should pick up his kid, too, for protection. That was one moment that I saw coming.

But it was a very well-entertained hour of drama. Also, after watching next week's promo, it comes to my mind what the promo will be in the three-part crossover., I'm dying to find out soon.

You can catch "Chicago PD" on Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

The Mysteries of Laura "The Mystery of the Sex Scandal"

Sex scandals are so the thing these days. Too often, right? What happens if it it was a sex scandal but it turns out that it really wasn't? That's what this week's "The Mystery of Laura" tackled.

At the hype of a sex scandal between Mike Jameson, a politician who's in an election race, and a staffer that word got out that they had a thing. Jameson denying it.

We come to see Laura, on her day off, getting the kids ready as she found out that they had a presentation to give in class and they had to dress up, one being an octopus and the other a hedgehog. Jake comes in and in his way ask Laura to spy on the staff that's accused of having an affair with Jameson, Caitlin.

Laura doesn't want to take it but she does. She follows Caitlin from her apartment that was full of photographer and gets into a cab. As she left Laura follows her to a near by train car , where she see Caitlin going up but thinking that she wasn't too bright to bring those photographers up there until she figure out that she went one way and out the other.

Laura then follows Caitlin to a warehouse sale. After being mulled by other women grabbing clothes, Laura and Caitlin spoke to each other. Then at Time Square, Caitlin walks right in the middle and looks around. Laura is on her phone talking to Jake about what she has seen, then figures that Caitlin's been looking around too long. All of the sudden, Caitlin gets shot and dies.

After investigating around, a journalist comes up to Laura and Billy and asked what happen. Then Laura asked him for source who spoke about the scandal but he told them that he can't and told them that he has a journalist shield. Which he is right, can't give up a source no matter what.

They talked to a lawyer, Walters and asked him about Caitlin. He told Laura that he had no problem with her. Then talked to her roommate, Heather.

We later see Jake and Laura at Caitlin's apartment, and finds an ID that has Heather's photo in it that says Caitlin. They go to talk to Heather until they see that she was shot to death outside.

We then see the other gang going through video tapes at Time Square at the time of the shooting.

They come to a close when the video recorder stop and come back on fives minutes in between. So that gave Billy and Meredith to go and talk to the guy who runs the severance camera at the video game store.

They come to two workers and asked who's in charge of the video tapes and one runs off. At this time, this is the first time we get to see Meredith do anything else, besides just checking on files and given reports to Laura and the gang.

They talked to the worker and asked him about the severance camera stopped and the guy told them about the dark overlord told him to do it. Meaning a when he was playing a video game, a guy who's avatar is 'Dark Overlord" told him.

So Billy and Meredith go in one room and start playing, Billy playing and only being a level 12 player, he really doesn't know all that and we found out that Meredith is a real closet gamer, who has a level of 40. She plays, found Overlord and then tries to peek his interest.

So they get him and started to video chat, Billy tried to turn the room into a real gamer's room and not a police room. Billy then gets get's Max's One Direction poster and sets it as a backdrop. They got him and found his location.

Later, Jake is heading in to Overlord's place and then fights him. After kicking Jake to the wall, Overlord runs and is stopped by Laura. The gamer then tries to talk to his lawyer but denies him.

After that Laura finds out that it was Walter after making a recall on the phone. He tells her about how he  deserves to get the judge's seat and then points a gun. Billy comes in and as Laura said it, stole her thunder.

Jake thanks Billy and Meredith on a good work on getting the gamer, thinking that Billy was the one and not Meredith. It'll be Billy's little secret, and as for being a good sport, Meredith has all the game codes for the game. But being playful towards him takes it away.

There might be a thing going on there. I'm just saying.

At the end we found Laura relaxing at her spa...in a jail cell repeating that she is clam and relax.

This episode was very enjoyable. As I said before we finally get to see Meredith do something that's just more than looking up stuff and given her report. Very funny when she turns out to be a total video gamer.

There were other funny scenes like the spa where the journalist was at...that it was a thing for women to spank the men. There was one play where a guy was like a pig on a plate.

Next week episode looks like an episode that has twist and turns and has us guessing til the end.

You can catch "The Mysteries of Laura" Wednesday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

Bad Blood will Turn into Something: Chicago Fire "Just Drive The Truck"

When there's a rival, there's bad blood, and where there is bad blood, someone is bound to get hurt. That's what this week's episode of "Chicago Fire" has somewhat taught us and more.

Ever since nearly the end of last season, Truck 81 and Truck 66 have been having a bit of some issues going on, one of them being Dawson joining their team. The other is that they want to piss Casey and the rest off.

As everything is excellent and calm at House 51, Mouch, Cruz, and Otis are discussing a food truck for the new Molly's II. It didn't go well, with the price being nearly $80,000. Then the alarm goes off.

Off they go, Truck 81 is heading, and just a block over, they see Truck 66 going to the same house fire they are going, and when Casey sees it, he tells Cruz to slow down and not be bothered by it. Cruz thinks he can get there first but then takes Casey at his word and slows down, but by the time that happens. Both trucks have collided, knocking Truck 81 on its side.

We see a shocked and shaken Cruz holding the wheel. Severide and the gang get there, take command, and get everyone out. Mouch suffered an eye injury. Cruz is suffering from shock even after he got out.

During the rescue, Mils takes a fall after getting dizzy as he is on top of Truck 66.

Dawson and Britt get there. As Welch, from Truck 66, bangs out the door, he pushes off and helps get his other guy out of the back with a bad leg injury.

As Cruz is watching, he wants to help but is told not to, and then Welch yells at him that it was his fault. Soon, Chef Boden and the other head chef get there and talk to Cruz and Casey about what happened. Cruz doesn't remember if the light was green or red.

Even so, Cruz had to take a blood and alcohol test to prove he wasn't under the influence. Later, the man driving Truck 66 took the most severe injury and might not make it. This got the blood boiling for Truck 66 against Cruz.

Later,  51 took the rest of the day off. Casey and Dawson had a chance to talk about Boden, and he think that it would be good if she would join their squad. Of course, she loves the idea, but it will put a damper on both their relationship and their wedding.

The next day, the gang from 51 returns to Chicago Med and gives their thoughts and prayers to Truck 66's guy, who's still in critical condition. Cruz tries to apologize but doesn't seem to work the way he was hoping for and soon leaves. He did bump into Severide, who still can't go into the hospital after losing Shay.

I feel you, Severide.

The gang from 51 invited the team from 66 to Molly's and had a little fundraiser for their guy and his wife to help pay the medical bills. That night, the people that came toasted the guy from Truck 66.

Soon, news came in that the guy was going to make it. Casey, Cruz, and the others return to Chicago Med and see that he is doing good. Just across from the room, Boden and the other chefs were there and told Casey and Cruz that the guy confessed that Welch gave him the go-ahead sign to keep going and not slow down.

Cruz told him thanks, and Herrmann gave the money donated to his wife.

Things seem to be good between House 51 and 66. The show gave Cruz another dark event this season, darker than last year, with a girl getting shot and his brother going undercover for Voght.

I very much enjoyed this episode. It had some severe points that there should never be any bad blood against one another. It will turn into something worse down the road, like this event.

Mils gets tested and finds out he has a medical issue and will have to leave Severide's Squad team. That makes a perfect fit for him being a paramedic and an ideal place for Dawson to join.

Next week's episode looks like another event for Severide as he seems to take some time off and then gets into a life-and-death situation on a subway, which, in the end, we see a gun at his head. It's something that I don't think you should miss.

You can catch all-new episodes of "Chicago Fire" on Tuesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.
