The Raw Side of the Law: Benched "Pilot"

Last week was the season premiere of "Benched," a new USA Network single-camera comedy created by Michaela Watkins and Damon Jones. It's about how a high-powered corporate lawyer has a fall from grace that goes into the rough and tumble of the world of a public defender.

It stars Nina Whitley, played by Eliza Coupe, a career-driven corporate attorney who suddenly gets a phone call from her fiance that he's breaking up with her for someone he's marrying. That leads her to a nervous breakdown after she receives the news that she's not getting a partner at her firm

Nina gives one of the best rants on television in a while. Maybe it's tied with what Annie did with Jake in NBC's "Marry Me." She bashes everyone about how the other person got the job because of her good looks and giant breasts. Then she smashes everything around her in the room and hits a vast from Elton John.

That's when she leaves and gets on the elevator and tries to make it go down but can't because she needs to use her card to go down, which creates an awkward moment for her. Then, as soon she uses her card, she gives a big "F" to you and a couple of signs until the elevator stops, which makes it even more awkward for her.

Jumping six months later, Nina is now working on her first day as a public defender. She gets to her boss's office; he hands her files and then tells her that she has five minutes to get to court. She doesn't make a good first impression and does not even get the job going into the courtroom, when apparently either a possum died or a sewage pipe had burst.

Making it more a not a good first day is that the person she's going against turns out to be her former fiance, Trent.

After her first full day, Nina doesn't do well and does not make a good impression on the judge.

Later on, Nina has a moment with her new colleagues, who turn out to be an honest, dysfunctional bunch of characters that make her look better and the show, too.

From Phil to Carols, Micah, the intern, and Cheryl are all different and hilarious.

Soon, Nina plans to get Trent back at his own game when a mother is arrested for stealing diapers and also missing a court date; Nina goes at it by saying that she's guilty and that her bond should be $70 million but soon makes an argument that for someone like her client, who stole diapers isn't a horrible crime.

She also makes the argument that the reason why her client missed her court date was because she was in jail.

Soon after the judge has asked many times for the bond number, Nina says one dollar. The judge agrees and sets the bond for one dollar because he is so happy. And then, Nina told Trent that the game was on. In which she has set the bar and let the fun begin.

I enjoy this series from its pilot episode. I thought that Eliza Coupe was excellent in this series. I saw her in "Happy Endings," but I think watching her on here and listening to what others have said, she's hilarious and a queen to cable comedy.

 I think that this series has a great ensemble cast of characters. I think that  Nina and Phil are good with the one. I believe that Maria Bamford is just as hilarious as her character.

I think this series is about how someone who was once up in the higher level professional turns and gets a scene of the reality of what the natural world and the rawest of the law is with the ordinary people.

You can catch "Benched" on Tuesday nights at 10:30/9:30 on the USA Network.

So What's the Plan? Parenthood: "Too Big to Fail"

In this week's episode of "Parenthood" we learn that from our first mistake, that there is a solution to a problem and sometimes loves comes in different ways.

In this episode we jump to three months in advance. Amber is somewhat around four to five months pregnant, Drew is looking for a major and things get a lot weird with Max and Dylan.

We see how Hank and his daughter, Ruby, dealing with the facts of father and daughter relationships. Ruby wants to go to a party with a friend and Hank doesn't seem to get it and soon decides to say no. With the help of Sarah, they do a family game night, with Sarah and Amber up against Hank and Ruby.

With the champions looking to be Sarah and Amber, it seems that Hank and Ruby are not connecting to one another as they take their turn. Soon after a couple of minutes, Ruby gets upset and runs off after trying to get him to guess the word, which was peanut, the one thing that she's allergic to.

Soon Ruby sneaks out and goes to a party, but we see her only coming back from the part where Amber sees her. As Ruby is having a hard time getting herself together, from drinking too much, Amber rushes to her and helps Ruby into the bathroom.

It's one of those moments that just makes you have kids watch this to understand what the outcome of drinking at a party can lead to for say.

Later on, Amber wakes up Ruby and gives her a cup of coffee. She talked to her about how she couldn't be doing this, talking about how her dad is trying his best and telling her that her own dad never come for her. It's like we see the past Amber and future Amber at one and see how much Amber has grown so much this whole series.

Soon, Ruby comes out, apologizes to her dad and Sarah and tells them that she had fun. It was a real life change for the character of Ruby and I know that it's only one moment but one moment can change a life, right?

Meanwhile, Crosby and Adam are trying to figure things out with their business. As it has been known, they lost their star and their business isn't doing to well. Crosby is worried about what's going to happen, with the business but also with his family as well.

Crosby comes clean to Jasmine about what's really going on. She's upset but not that upset. She tells him that she doesn't care what happens to the house or business, as long as she and their family have him, they will be fine.

As that's going on, Adam and Crosby are trying to figure things out, not only about their business but also with Amber and her salary. With Amber being somewhat four to five months pregnant, I think. With a child on the way and baby stuff being at a high of  price to buy; Amber thinks that after working with Adam and Crosby that she deserves to have a rise. Which she rightful does.

But when Adam and Crosby talk about it, Adam tells Crosby that she should have been fired a year ago. That's when Amber heard that and walked out. But Adam and Crosby talked to her and told her that Adam has a plan. But Adam admitted that he doesn't have a plan but will do everything to find a solution and give her a rise.

As for Drew, he's trying to find a major, while his girlfriend tells him to relax and not to worry. He goes to Adam for some advice and give him advice upon saying that Drew should find what he wants to do to earn money, not to find a job that makes a lot of money. That's what I got out of it. Crosby thinks that you should find a job that pays a lot.

And of course, Dylan and Max. What a couple these two are right? I'm really amazed of how Max is growing up and learning about relationships. I really enjoy Ally Ioannides' character, Dylan. My favorite scene in the episode is when Max and Dylan are in his room, talking and soon Adam and Kristina walk by the room. Of course, Max, without even looking, knows that they were snooping and shuts the door. Looks like Adam and Kristina needs a lesson in snooping 101.


Also learning about Dylan and how she loves Max's family more than her own is really making think that we should see her parents. Maybe she lives by herself? Kristina really likes her now so things seem to be all well between those two.

I really enjoyed, learned and felt the experience in this episode. I felt the experience in Drew's little storyline of trying to find a major and getting a job to help the family.

Also with Adam and Crosby's business not doing well, I can understand by how my grandfather's business isn't doing well either and with a death of his business partner and best friend it's harder to keep it, but it's good to have good friends to help you at a time in need that knows a lot of your business.

Next week's episode will be dealing with Julia and Joel, is this really the end of it? Joel needs to fight for her no matter what happens. Joel and Julia, in my opinion, should be together.

You can catch "Parenthood" Thursday nights 10/9c on NBC.

The Art of Gambling: The Mysteries of Laura: "The Mystery of Art Ace"

This week on "The Mysteries of Laura" Laura and the gang gets a case of a murder of an artist who was part of a illegal gambling.

When someone finds a dead body in a garbage can, at the time the body is found Laura is taking the boys to school and singing "Take A Little Piece of My Heart" by Janis Joplin. The one thing that I love to hear Messing sing is that she can have fun with it.

Later, Laura and Jake are walking to the crime scene where the victim, David, a worker at an arts gallery for his dad, found in a dumpster. Laura looks around, she talks about a beer bottle that she use to drink in college.

After finding out more of the victim, they go to where he works and talks to his sister and father. The victim's sister was surprised but his father, not really.

Later on, Laura and Jake find out from David's sister that he was at a karaoke bar the other night so Laura and Jake went there since it was near where the victim was found at. As Jake was asking everyone at the bar, Laura sees a karaoke bar and decides to go up there and sing Joplin's hit song. That distracted and the owner of the bar and her bodyguard went to take care of it while Jake sneaked into the back and found an illegal poker game.

The owner did see David there the other night, winning $20,000. The victim was found with the money in his pants thanks to Laura. So Jake told the owner to not cancel the next poker game and decides to put in Laura in the game.

And with Laura going to be in the game, Jake thought that she could get some help in the game of poker by the one person that they both know, Laura's dad. Laura's dad, played by Robert Klein, is a single, divorce who to Laura are not on speaking terms for about a year.

The gang found out that a famous "Page 6" celebrity goes to the game, so Billy and Meredith meet up with the guy and after given Billy a hard time at a strip joint for rental, I'm guessing, Meredith gave him a bit of a moment of his life, force going.

After talking to Billy about the game and not there, the guy accepts to get Laura in the game. That means that she had to go get over her feeling of her dad and learn about the game. Of course, there were a few things that got her upset but Laura did manage to win over her dad and after accepting to help her, he wanted to spend some time with his grandchildren, which he did.

As Laura goes to the poker game as Red Velvet, like the cake, she then starts looking around for the likely suspects. While outside the place, Jake, Meredith and Laura's dad are in the van watching what's happening.

As the poker game goes, Laura tries talking to each member, she spots the one that is a bit aggressive like he has lost the last game. As soon as she talked to everyone including the cocktail waitress, she then talks about David and soon pulls her badge out. The aggressive guy then flips the table like you would have seen in the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Laura told to go after the waitress. Meredith runs after her and tackles her to the ground. After talking to the waitress, she mentions of the guy who had an argument with David's father, which was seen on video tape.

So since Laura is at the doctor's after that table flip accident, Meredith and Max go out art shopping and finding the suspect. Max and Meredith find him and starts talking, but he really isn't much on talking about it. So Max and the suspect soon bid for a painting and when Max won the art piece, Meredith talked to the suspect which led right to the father as the main suspect.

So Jake and Laura talk to the father again and when he talked and was going to show the books, he confess to the murder. But as he confessed to the murder, Laura as she looks at the books again and soon her father brings the kids, who are full of sugar. She gets upset and we found out why she's upset with him. That would be because he brought Jake to Thanksgiving after she found out that he cheated on her.

Soon after Laura's dad says that he was doing what a father does, that gave a hint that David's father isn't his murderer, but his sister. As Jake and Laura go back, Laura talks to the sister again mention about her father. Jake, meanwhile, goes up to David's sister's office, snoops and has found what is the murder weapon, a bowling pin with sparkles.

Jake brings the murder weapon and soon Laura looks at an art piece that had beer bottles. The guy is David's sister's boyfriend and apparently he wanted David to help try sell his art at the poker game but that didn't work and which lead to his death.

After the case was solved, Laura heats up frozen dinners and her dad comes by to apologize. He didn't want her to become like him and after she forgives. Then he plays with the kids and she cooks up another TV dinner.

 This episode was just funny as it could be. Laura singing in this episode was hilarious but not as hilarious as seeing Messing and Klein working on one another as father and daughter. There was chemistry there.

Also it was great to see Meredith show more of her tough side in this episode. I'm really like her character.

Next week episode deals with a lunch party and a murder with a twist.

Side Note: This week it was the network has picked up a full season of the show. That doesn't mean that the show will get picked up for another season, that's way too early. It's doing really well, the best since Deal or No Deal was on Wednesday nights at that time slot. Would recommend to spread the word of how good this series is, how fun and good crime stories it is.

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

Tricks, Treats and Foolishness

Mary Me: "Scary Me"

Since Halloween is this Friday, we get to see some shows do their Halloween special episode. "Marry Me" did their own with Anne and Jake changing their Halloween plans and doing a haunted house in their apartment.

A neighbor of Jake and Anne's proves to be an extreme protective mother that wants everyone in the apartment not to wear costumes and such. That throws Anne and Jake mad, so they provide their own version of Halloween and not a classic Disney version of it.

The two dress up as the zombie version of Lucy and Dezi. Anne acting like the true Lucy while Jake acts out to other different characters and saying their own catchphrases. Funny scene from these two was when a kid was left in their place and had to take him back but he kept playing with them.

 Apparently he's the son of the neighbor who wants Halloween to be a safe holiday. Hence way he didn't want to go back home.

Meanwhile Gill is going out trick or treating with Kay, even though he doesn't think about his ex-wife he really does and thinks he needs to cheer her up. So Kay had an idea to take the bowl from his ex-wife and rob it.

When Gill sees what's happening, he takes into action, as he's dressed as Spiderman. He knocks Kay out like what you would see in the WWE show.

This episode was felt laid back but relaxing and funny. You really didn't have to follow it to hard to understand what's going on. Loved how Anne and Jake were Lucy and Dezi, but also there seemed to be a bit of Will & Grace from season one when they did their Halloween episode with the kid.

You can catch "Marry Me" Tuesday nights at 9/8c on NBC.

About A Boy: "About A Will-O-Ween"

One thing to learn about Will-O-Ween is to know the three B's. Booze, Bros and Babes. Once you know the three B's you are set for "Will-O-Weens"

Will is throwing his own Halloween party and as he';s doing that, Marcus and Fiona aren't much for the scary holiday because it's a holiday to celebrate diabetes. Marcus thinks he's cruse because of the horrible things that have happen to him a long time ago. Soon he will learn to have fun on Halloween and not be so frighten about it.
ps. He then goes out and see Marcus and soon they go out trick or treating getting candy and stuff.

This party of Will's seems to be a distraction for him as he's trying to forget about his break up with Sam. As Sam called him during the party, you can see Will down with the dum
There's a moment between Marcus and Will that helps Will get through the pain of his break up and as well as Marcus as he find out that he's not cruse.

This episode was funny from point A to point Z. So many funny moments, probably the funnest moment was when Will was seeing Andy so he could get him to come to his party, hence his bro at the party. Will sees Andy dress up as a green pea, which to Will look like the joy green wiener. Jokes kept coming after.

You can catch "About A Boy" Tuesday nights at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.

Chicago Fire: "Madmen and Fools"

This week's episode of "Chicago Fire" deals with a family feud but also a misunderstanding in a way.

It seems Dawson doesn't think that being trained at the academy means that she's ready to do the stuff that Herrmann and others can do. That's little thinking as Herrmann tells it and gets her trained the sledgehammer and other things. She's doesn't seem to happy at first but hey, she's getting what she'd asked for...to be treated like any other candidate.

Meanwhile after a scene with a boy's head caught in the fence on a story high apartment building and after rescuing him, the mother doesn't seem to think that since her son is okay that he needs to go to the ER. Britt thinks so but after the doctor check him and saw his file that had records stacked high of abuse.

The child was taken away from his mother and soon the mother come to the firehouse to talk to Britt to ask for recommendation of her not being a bad mother. The mother tells her and Severide about how she was young when she had her son and got married to an alcoholic but after getting a restraining order on him and being clean for two years.  

At first, Severide didn't want to get involved because of what happen with Shay last year. But Britt did encourage him and soon they visited the mother's place, asked questions and make sure that she's telling the truth. Soon they go down to DCFS and talked to a guy who has a ton of paper. He tells them that he'll look into it when he's got time.

Soon, Britt comes back and shows her bad ass side telling him that he needs to check and get the mother and child together. For the first time, I'm really like the character of Britt. She's someone that has heart but yet we're still learning about her.

Also, Mils and Newhouse are working on a little something. Apparently, Newhouse helps divorce people get what their stuff that was taken from their spouse. Newhouse takes away a dog from a guy and gives it back to his ex-wife. Pretty cool but he does pay the price as Newhouse was getting his phone from his car and get his ass kick from someone who tells him that he knows where he lives.

And the other thing, after finding out that his sister is being scammed away with very little money from her husband, Casey fights to get her something better in return. I was really hoping to see some blood between Brother and brother-in-law but that didn't happen.

Casey's sister didn't want to fight custody, so she decided to take the deal and get back into teaching. After seeing his niece talking to him, Casey asks Newhouse for even more help and got something to blackmail his brother-in-law to give his sister a better deal.

This episode was really good, had everything from excitement and just down right oh my god moment with what Severide did as he went to Las Vegas for the weekend, was hoping to some of the guys from squad would come but didn't and asked Britt to come but declined. Soon we see Severide playing by himself and soon a very pretty lady comes and soon he talks to her and then after a good roll, he kisses her and soon fires are lit.

What will this be for the Lindsey-Severide relationship? I would probably not want to piss Erin off like kissing another girl.

This is the last episode until the show returns in two weeks (Nov. 11th) which will be the event of all events this fall season. The two night, three-show crossover episodes that no one should miss. Here's a link to the promo: Chicago Fire November 11th promo

The Hunt: The Blacklist "The Mombasa Cartel"

So the question that we've been asking for the last couple of weeks is what is Liz Keen hiding behind that door that she has someone guarding? That answer was told but I won't tell right now.

This week's episode of "The Blacklist" deals with a group that poachers that don't deal with animals but humans. In a way the hunt was on for this and Liz's secret.

We come to a couple of back stories of human poachers killing people. One who was a witness to it as a young boy, may be a surprise to you at the end of who it was.

As we come to the present, we see Red and Liz in Red's apartment and Red is watching about Loins hunters. Disguised by what he starts talking about the next person or persons on the list. This time its poachers.

They hunt certain people, rich, poor or so and hunt them down, kill them and then skin them and stuff them. Sounds like this should be an episode of Hannibal right? Well anyway, Liz and the gang got word of the latest victim, who happens to be skinned off and left his bones, where you can still see some blood vessel marks on the bones at least, from my point of view.

The gang traces back to a place in Alaska. So Ressler goes there by himself and check things out. It leads him to a cabin out in the middle of the wilderness. He spots an elderly lady and soon her son. As soon as Ressler was about to leave, he sees what the son had under the truck and it was two people in cages tagged. Then Ressler was knocked out and soon put into a cage.

Ressler wakes up and soon the cages open for him and the other guys, both have a yellow tag on their ear. As they get out they hear what sounds like an animal call but it really wasn't. It was the hunter.

Ressler stops on guy and talks to him about what's going on until he starts to go through withdraw signs because he's getting a bit addicting on his pain meds. It's not who you think would be, not that son of that lady but her youngest, Matthew, who's 7 foot tall dude that looks like the character from Men In Black.

Ressler runs and spots a campfire along with he thought were people until he realized that they were dead people who were stuffed.  Soon, Matthew comes by and talks to his stuff pets, if you call it, and  soon Ressler gets a jump on him, but Matt pins him to a tree until Ressler grabs a knife and stabs him in the stomach.

Matthew then goes back home to his home and to his mother where he has a nice bubble bath waiting for him, mostly after every hunt. He comes in and she's upset so she puts him int he tub and as soon as Keen and the FBI Squad come in she kills him and herself by dumping the radio into the tub.

As soon as that event was over, Keen sees Ressler and without saying any word puts his head down and admits that he has a problem.

That's not what all went down in this episode. Peter Fonda guest starred in this episode playing the high rich man who tries to end poaching but encourages it since his wife and sons are the ones in Alaska.


Keen talks to him but it was Red that had that last conversation with him. Red who asked him for something and got soon then told him about a story of a little boy who witness murder and human poaching but his life turned around and he is a brilliant and brightest person that he has ever know. And that person that Red is talking about is Dembe.

Then Red kills off Fonda's character off. That was one quick guest spot for someone like Fonda. I have no problem of his character or the way the show used his performance status.

And of course, the story that we all wanted to know is what is Liz hiding. Well, her watchman got to see what was behind that door and threaten her to tell Red before he does. Well that backfired on her quick so she fought fire with fire and sent him to jail by saying he knows that where about of Raymond Reddington.

But soon at the end of the episode, we see Liz go in, the camera is on her and she talks and as she was down talking we see that the thing that she was hiding was a person by the name of Tom Keen. Apparently he's not dead and that Liz has hidden him.

I seen on twitter that most of the viewers and fans weren't surprised. I was mostly surprised because I knew that he wasn't dead that Keen let him go and he was going to same day get her. But still I love the surprised of this secret. Tom is alive and is in the hands of Liz.

Now what's going to happen is something that viewers should really stick around because there's only two more episodes until the show goes to a break until we see the two-part episode that starts on  Super Bowl Sunday after the game and coutine on its new night Thursdays at 9/8c.


Side Note: Last week Marvel released the new trailer of the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" in which James Spader is the voice of Ultron and in this trailer gives a chilling look to the movie that comes out on May 2015. Here's a link to it: "Avengers: Age of Ultron" trailer

Spader's voice gives a chilling aspect for which I think fits him best to play the character. Even if I don't know much about Ultron but will very soon. Also the part where he says "I'm free. There are no strings on me" just sets goosebumps all over.


You can catch "The Blacklist" Monday nights at 10/9c on NBC

Between Love and Anger: Parenthood: "A Scale of Affection is Fluid"

Love, hurt, anger we all deal with emotions that just seems to hit us. Also that's what we've learned in this week's episode of "Parenthood."

Seems like Crosby has been taken away his bike privileges since Jasmine learned he had an accident a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes Crosby grown ass men are treated like a child.

Crosby gets to be with Zeek and take him to his physical therapy since Camille drives very slow and could get there probably a week or so. Soon Crosby gets back to pick Zeek up and sees his dad on the treadmill.

He watches his dad push himself until he saw him fall and soon left quietly and than just sat down and thought about what he saw with a worried look on his face.

As soon as Zeek came out, Crosby thought that he and him could go for a couple of day drink celebration. Crosby talked about how he's been treated like a child and how his and Adam's business isn't doing so well. Zeek see something wrong with Crosby.

Later Jasmine picks up Crosby and Zeek as Crosby is drunk. Both Jasmine and Zeek talked and agreed about how worried they are about Crosby.

Meanwhile, Adam and Kristina are dealing with Max and learning about love and relationship. I have to say this is one of my favorite story-lines of the season so far. Seeing Max liking a girl and learning about it by reading some of the weirdest books as he put it, know about relationships and dates.

Also when Max told his grandfather and Crosby while Adam was grilling burgers, the Braverman men talked about how to really pick up girls and some of the codes like stealing bases and such. Funnest scene of the episode.

Things don't look to good with Joel and Julia as Joel found how Julia is dating her college ex-boyfriend. Boy, I would too get upset if someone said baseball isn't America's past time which it is. And to that I do love basketball as well.

Seems like what goes around, comes around to Joel and what he did to Julia even though he didn't date and such. Now I would be worried to see how this will go since now Julia and her boyfriend seem now to be a thing.

And of course Amber spots or should I say bumped into someone at the coffee shop spilling coffee on the guy and soon they start to go out. Without telling him that she's pregnant after their first date, Amber finally did and he kind of cut the night pretty short as he was tired and had a busy day the next day.

Sounds like a total jerk.

This episode had a lot more light sided humor. A lot of fun but some seriousness such as Crosby and his actions. He seems to be taken his anger towards riding his bike and drinking. He needs help and I think I smell and intervention!!!!

Next week's episode is probably a good reason to spread the word about this show. Because as they said in the promo, this episode will show Parenthood at it's best. And I wouldn't bet anything that they won' t on that.

You can catch "Parenthood" Thursday nights at 10/9c on NBC

A Walk-down to Hell: Wednesday night dramas

Mysteries of Laura: "The Mystery of The Red Runaway"

This week's episode of "Mystery of Laura" tackles the world or should I say the world of fashion. When an employee of one of the biggest fashion designers in the world is gunned down Laura and the gang think that it's a hit on the fashion designer.

When Laura and the gang think that the fashion designer was suppose to be killed, they try and protect him during Fashion Week party where Laura was his date.

There was a scene when Laura was going to the party dress up like you know as Laura can dress up. But when the designer told her that she need to wear a dress, he brought his people to give her a makeover. It was like watch Pretty Woman

I thought it was very funny seeing Laura trying all these different outfits. When she finally got the right one, the kids were wow and well so was I with a beautiful red dress.

Later that night the designer was outside and talked to Laura and Billy about how he's just sad and shocked about his employee is dead. Soon he was shot in the arm.

As Laura digs deep she talks to one of the designer's employees, this one turned out to be nervous and eating when talking. Soon as Laura and Billy went back to the victim's apartment they notice a book that he had on his desk and how it wasn't one of those heavy books.

But also the book that was on the desk was a law book. The victim was part of fashion scam which lead all the way to the head designer. It turned out that he was the one who had him killed and was the head of the design scam of a hand bag.

With classic fashion jokes left and right, this episode was funny. I loved the scene of Laura trying out dresses like she was in Pretty Woman. Meredith was once again funny in this episode with her excitement of all the fashion designs, mostly the handbag.

Chicago PD: "An Honest Woman"

If there was one word to describe this week's episode of "Chicago PD" it would have to be epic thriller. From the beginning to the end it was one thing after another.

As Voight and his son's baby mama talk about her future and borrowing money. Voight had no problem at all. He goes downstairs and soon two guys comes down and beats the crap out of him.

After watching that I felt breathless seeing that going on. Voight beaten down.

As for the rest of the gang,we see Al really pissed off. Erin as she comes up, her friend who works for them, tells her that Voight hasn't been seen this morning at a meeting. Both Erin and Halstead go check up on Voight and see his house broken into. They check the house and see that he was gone and so was Olive too.

The gang comes and investigate the place finding clues and what not gone.  They do not report it to anyone but just kept it to themselves to investigate.

We soon see Voight handcuff to a radiator and badly beaten. The two guys ask him for the combination to his safe but he wouldn't give it. The big guy then pokes his side which was badly hurt soon they bring out Olive and put a bag over her head. He then gave them the numbers to open it.

Soon the gang comes in, Halstead and Ruzek go after but lost them. Voight looked so pissed that I never seen him so pissed off since he talked to Casey about his son's trouble.

Now the hunt is on and hell breaks loose at points end. One of the guys turns himself in and Voight drags him to his car and takes him on a little trip to an abandoned factory outside of Chicago. He takes him and tells him to walk.

He then grabs his gun, grabs his head and starts talking for him to spill it. The guy wanted something in return but Voight gave him one option and he took it.

The guy was to meet up with the big guy at the airport with Voight's money and stuff in the vault. They put a wire on the guy and goes undercover watching him met the big guy.

As soon as they met, they walk and soon the big guy kills him. Voight and the other chase him and the guy grabs a hostage. But he didn't see Halstead and Erin behind him, soon Voight grab the bag that had money but it wasn't want he was looking for. It was the other bag that the big guy had in his pocket which we learn that it had Voight's wife's wedding ring.

Soon Voight take the big guy to the same spot and soon brought him back to the station.

We soon see Voight and Justin talk and soon Voight gave his wife's wedding ring to his son to ask Olive for marriage.

I really felt this episode was one big drag race. It was written well enough to keep you on the edge of your seat, as it did with mine.

There was also a light side to it with the officers dealing with a girl who took a badge and using it to protect the kids and his sister at the park.

Next week's episode deals with this: undercover, no protection, no backup at all.

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