Family of Love: Parenthood "We Made It Through the Night"

Well guys, we made it through the night with this episode that was yet again full of emotion, from the first five minutes to the the end and to the promo for next week's series finale. Does it feel surreal?

This week's episode deals with a few things that tie up a few things before the series finale. Joel and Julia are moving back, but before things could get back to normal, they have to come to terms that things have happen while they were separated, like Julia sleeping with people and well, Joel didn't.

After telling their kids that daddy's back, Victor asked if it was going to happen again. It almost did, during breakfast, when Julia got a phone call from her boss and former lover. They finally talked things out the way it should, talking about it into the car.

Folks must of been going nuts with Amber and when the baby would be born. It also kind of answered my question. With the word that a death in the family was going to happen, my thought that it was either going to be Zeek or the baby, in television things can happen.

But thank god, I was wrong and the baby boy was born. The sweetest thing that a grandchild can due was name her child after her own grandfather. One of the most beautiful scenes throughout the episode was Zeek holding Zeek and the face he gave, heartwarming.

Well, I guess it's bye bye, to the Luncheonette, again! As the two ere about to get things back over there, while waiting for the baby the first time, Jasmine and Kristina talked about the guys and their business. As Kristina is Kristina, she has a problem with it and it turns out into a whole argument that upset Crosby more for Jasmine to tell Adam about his problem.

Things to calm down for the two women. It didn't do well for Zeek as for the first time, he could go between the argument, His health as we can call see is turning worst. As we first see him and Camille walking up the hill near the bay waters, he finally told her that he doesn't wasn't the surgery.

There are many scenes that made it emotional, seeing Camille painting a portrait of Zeek, I call it "The Father." I think its a masterpiece. While he was sitting he told her that it was time to tell the kids and that he wanted to have a family dinner with just the six original Braverman family.

While their dinner, they talked about the funny times, until Adam and Crosby argued about something, once again and soon Zeek couldn't take it again and went into the other room to lay down. Sarah walks in and talks to him, one of the most beautiful scenes was when she told him that Hank proposal to her. The one thing that he said was that he can't wait to walk her down the aisle.

The one thing out of this episode that didn't feel like wasn't sad was when Adam and one of the kids at the Chambers school was doing a Career week and he asked him to teach him how to cook French.

Just to prove a point to Max after he gave his stats about students like him won't get jobs and be losers.

Well, they proved him wrong and both made a chocolate French cake. As we saw them filled with excitement, we can see the other students learning from the other teachers. Something that makes you feel good and not want to cry with sadness.

There was a moment that Kristina and Adam talked to Max about and it was how much his stat about him and the other kids won't get jobs. What they told him was what we all proud to gave seen in him and that was see him grow so, so much.

We can see things a tying up just a bit before next week. Every single moment is a tissue moment. As I tweeted out after the show, the time has come, to come together one last time, to celebrate as one big happy family.

You can catch the series finale of Parenthood next Thursday at 10/9c on NBC.

Any thoughts about last night's episode?

Returning to the Family: Chicago PD "Disco Bob"

I assume there will always be tension between veteran cops. In this week's episode of Chicago PD, we meet Ruzek's father, known to all as Disco Bob, an on-the-beat officer.

When a case of a murdered family is called, some tension between Bob and Voight still hangs from the past. As the team gets an observation of the crime scene, there seems to be a child that's missing from the group. Soon, the team finds a blood trail that leads to the basement and a handprint of the child.

The Voight and team go out to search for the father because, most of the time, it tends to be the father who causes these kinds of murders, right? The father's car was spotted and soon found him as he was doing a security installment job. As soon as the team found him,, hey took him to the house and questioned him.

Voight and Dawson are questioned non-stop about the father are questioned non-stop about the father. Things get challenging for the guy until he is let go. As they searched the background of the father and the victim, they had been having money trouble and that the victim was having a relationship with her boss at a low-rated newspaper.


As things heated up, Burgess and Roman, back in action, took to the streets to find the missing boy. As they found someone who knew the victim, they gave information about someone who knew them well. They stopped there and talked to the victim's friend.

That's when he told them that he might be at an abandoned house where he takes his sister and has some peace and quiet together and that sometimes he follows them. When Burgess and Roman get there, they see the basement door unlocked. As they go in, they find the boy, shot and barely alive.

How a kid who gets shothousemakes it all the way to that house is fantastic.

As soon as Voight and the team got the news, they waited until the boy got well to ask him questions about what the person looked like and looked at mugshots. When the kid saw one of the photos, he became reticent, but it was the guy.

They searched for and got him as soon as they got the name. They questioned him, and boy, did he talk.

This led to it not being the father's idea but the victim's friend, the father's daughter. He did it because her mother disapproved of him being her boyfriend.

Meanwhile, things got heated with Halstead and Linsey's relationship. The hashtag #SKINstead was trending on Twitter last night. They seem in love, but they want to take it slow. That's when we thought that Erin was going to be still working for the Feds.

But later, we find out that she has decided to come back home and be with her family where it matters instead of the crappy politics controlling.

Also, we learned about the beef between Voight and Disco Bob. Apparently, when Disco Bob kept calling Voight a dirty cop, things got heated after that.

After Ruzek learned about that, he talked to his father. His father told him that he didn't want his job controlling him and asked him why he kept the same job he's doing now...it was for him to be at his games, to take him to the movies, to be a father.

I thought that was really sweet. Things are getting back to normal right now.

The next episode will be after the Super Bowl when Fire and PD come together and get the guy responsible for killing Shay. If you haven't seen the video, check it on YouTube or nbc.com, or wait for it during the Super Bowl commercials. That would be sweet to see.

Batting Down the Hatches: Parks and Recreation"William Henry Harrison/Leslie and Ron"

If I had to call what last night's Parks and Recreation was all about in a couple of words it would be that this one hour would be called the Leslie and Ron Comedy Hour.

This week's episodes, we see Leslie and Ron are at each other's feet when it comes to getting the Newport park. Leslie wants a national park while Ron wants it to be commercial business. All of this feud seems to be from project Morningstar.



In the first episode, Leslie is trying to get proof that Newport park has interesting historical facts that would draw people to come, while Ron brought in a popular star who makes milk out of beef. These feud is drawing a lot of tension between Ben and the others.

This was when Ben had to go back and forth getting Leslie and Ron's signature with Terry. I think going anywhere with Terry would be the worst thing in the world.

But it was at that point that Ben and the gang decided to do a some kind of intervention. They brought Leslie and Ron into the old Park's office and locked them up for the next 12 hours, as they want them to forgive each other.



It was one of the best damn episodes so far. I love anything that has Leslie and Ron in a scene or an episode, let alone have a bottle episode was outstanding.

We see Leslie trying t figure it out, while Ron doesn't want to do anything. We hear from both sides of the story of what went down and when Ron finally talked about it, it was one of the best emotional scene since Ben asked Leslie to marry him.

After that it was back to fun city with Leslie and Ron and they are back being the best of friends, mentor and mentee.

You can catch the final season of Parks and Recreation Tuesday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

Tension and Suspense: State of Affairs "Cry Havoc"

Tonight's episode of "State of Affairs" has shown a lot of growth from the Pilot to now. This series has really taken on some really thrilling and suspenseful stories that just have me on the edge of my seat.

In "Cry Havoc"  we see the terrorist suspect, who is a young American college student, leaving her one night stand and goes back to her place and then takes off. She heads to a resident's home and soon blows up the yard and near the house.

Then we turn up a couple of hours before that event happen and Charlie gets the phone call about the suspect that they are after. Soon her and her team learn that the FBI won't go and take her in because of a speculations of the suspect.

Soon, Charlie, who is back briefing POTUS, goes in to inform her what the situation is with the events that are going on. Soon, we get into more about the events that took Charlie's fiance and the President's son. Who's the one who took the photo and sharing it. The President talks to Charlie if she trusts her team

Charlie's team get polygraph. Lucas is not in a stable condition with his alcoholism, Mo is nervous do to the fact that she slept with Lucas  a couple of times, But the one that lied his way through a perfect score and not lying was Kurt. He was the one who was sending Charlie messages that she should come clean about it.

With a report about the events that took the life the President's son, two senators were about to use it for leverage. But that didn't go, because by the time Charlie's boss was talking to one of the senators at a safe house, which didn't turnout to be safe until that girl comes and blows it up.

Meanwhile Nick has been traveling around the world somehow, but we do get to the bottom of their asset if he betrayed them or not. He didn't and helped Charlie nail all the students and others who were getting information to blow stuff up.

As I said before this show has really grown to be an great show. Charlie has gone through so much from where we first saw her in the pilot. I'm really enjoying the conflict between the President and the First Husband. Things get even better when next week's episode comes.

You can catch State of Affairs Monday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Driving on the Edge: Eye Candy "BRB"

As the hunt is on for the serial killer/cyber stalker, Lindy is bound to bring the person to justice. In this week's new episode, Lindy is grieving is on non-strop to find Ben's killer.

She's out dating with guys that she suspects the one. But she get's stop by Ben's partner and he tells her to back off and let them do their job.

You can just see that she's never going to give up. So after their little chat, Lindy goes out to the local coffee shop but as soon as she sits down, she's talking to a lady that turns out to be the NYPD's Cyber Unit and talks to Lindy about if she joins them she can help find her sister. The other point was that she was following one of the guys she's dating.

As the episode goes on, Lindy sneaks into work late with her coworker and hack into the street cameras. And what do they see, a car that wasn't there but there after the camera comeback. It turns out to be the boyfriend she was about to go out with until the detective stopped her.

So, she agrees to work with the cyber unit and goes out with the suspect. As they left, the detective follows but when the suspect notices the car following he sets off the bridge gate to come down and block the detective.

One scene had Lindy all surprised as she was about to head out for date, he's there at her door with a bag of food. He wanted and did cook her and her friends dinner. Who knows what this guy might do to them, right? Possibly poison them?



As the suspect and Lindy chatted, soon things get a bit heated and Lindy left and got into the suspect's car but then things take a left turn, if you will. Lindy get into the car and a dummy body full of photos is sitting in the driver's seat and all of the sudden the car goes automatic. The detective is int he trunk and soon Lindy hacks into the car and stops it.

As soon as Lindy's friends make it to the Cyber Unit's office, they are in protection as the dummy body was full of photos of Lindy and her friends. No one is safe from this guy. But the person you thought you know who it was, turns not to be the one Lindy gets a video message along with the detective and it was their suspect in fear talking to the killer. The killer is still out there. Who is this person?

This week's episode turned out not the be disappointing at all. The story or character didn't go off the rails.  I'm very much enjoying this show after two episodes in. It had me that they could have had their guy until that final scene.

Next week's episode shows that the hunt is still on and that this is only getting started.

You can catch Eye Candy Monday nights at 10/9c on MTV.

An Affection Of Love: Parenthood "Let's Go Home"

If there's anything to take out of this week's episode of Parenthood, it's love. Well, almost every episode is about love but this one seems to stand out full of it without any issues.

 Zeek was on a mission to find a gift for his first great grand (son or daughter) a signed baseball but it was in a shoebox but can't remember where he put it.

Searching for it, he also found a box full of film and that to Max to see what was in it, which turn out to be 40+ yrs of memories of the Braverman kids.

On the otherside, Adam comes clean to Crosby about his decision of what to do with the Lunchonette. You could see Crosby was just devastated of it but Jasmine came in, talked to Adam about it and as Adam went back to think it through, knowing what Crosby has helped him through those rough times that it's his turn to help Crosby.

In a way, I see the Lunchonette as a symbol for the entire series. At first couple of yrs it was great but then it started to no do good as business has gone down.

Two other things as well, we'll have another wedding as Sarah says "yes" to Hank's proposal and Joel and Juila are officially back together.

The one moment in this episode that stood out was when Drew apologize to Zeek about telling on him about the trip. Of course, he told Drew that sometimes anger is an affection of love. And then, Zeek remembered what he did with the baseball; that it's back at the old house. But when him and Camille went back, they saw a family with two kids and a expecting mother.

But at the moment, Zeek decided not to go over there and said that one of these days those kids will go up in the addict and find treasure.

The one thing I didn't like was of Kristina shutting down Adam's rethinking about the Lunchonette. What a meanie she was in this episode.

As for next we, it's the last episode before the finale. Everything is meant up for this, there's a birth, a wedding and the decision that we're all waiting for. This would be the time to get others to start watching the show.

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

The Mysteries of Laura: "The Mystery of the Fateful Fire"

If one word could be described about tonight's Mysteries of Laura episode it would be hot.

The episode began with Laura talking to someone very seriously, that it might have been a crime. Wrong it was to a coffee shop worker who was given back shorter change.

When everyone clapped for her one mom from her kids school talked to her about winter carnival, in which she had no clue and didn't want to do it.

But she did and after asking the one that signed up, Jake, to take the next two days off.

As Jake approved, a familar old fame (played by Anastasia Griffith) of his returns, but for the fire case, which thought to be arson turned out to be a homicide. Laura multitask both the case and putting together the winter carnival stuff.

One of the best scenes was when she was at home and put together a replica of the scene of the fire and how the guy saved the boy. It was one of the best ways to solve a crime ever.

After thinking it might be a person who loves to start fires ot the ex-boyfriend, even the good Samaritan who saved the boy or the kid's mother. It turned out to be the boy who started the fire so he could keep warm due to the landlord was trying to throw them out. Didn't know that there was someone in the basement who died.

Throughout the story, a bit a jealously rained on Laura of Jake's ex and twice takes to each other. After the case, both talked and.Laura was fine with her dating Jake again, but with a look she really didn't mean it.
