Chicago Fire: Could Pregnancy be a Silver Lining for Casey and Dawson?

On Chicago Fire, Dawson's unexpected pregnancy could be the silver lining for Casey after his distress kidnapping.

Bu don't worry, he'll "make it out of that situation alive when the NBC drama returns for Season Four on Oct. 13." But there' won't be much jot as he'll be trying "to copy with the aftermath."

Casey will have to deal with "what he had to do to survive that ordeal, which would haunt a lot of people," said executive producer Matt Olmstead telling TVLine. "He had to punch his way out."

Just to add more pain to the lieutenant's plate, Chicago PD's Antonio delivers the news that "the case isn't going to go forward because the feds are involved (and) there's complications, which sends Casey through the roof," Olmstead previews.

With that in mind, the firefighter is thinking, "Not only did I see a girl get shot in front of me- she was trying to do the right thing like I was to bring these guys down-now you're telling me that she, basically, is going to die in vain and this whole trafficking operation is going to go. I'm not going to let that happen."

Olmstead adds that "Voight advises him not to do what he thinks he's going to do, and Casey is hellbent."

As for Dawson, she's waiting for the right time to tell Casey that she's expecting. Given that everything that's been going on, it's kind of a no surprise that trying to find the perfect moment will have it's demanding. But when the cats out of the bag and it's finally out, "She-and the news she brings to him-is what really helps pull him out of the quagmire that he's been in," Olmstead revealed.

Casey takes a hold of the announcement of his upcoming fatherhood "wholeheartedly, because it helps make him stay away from what he went through," Olmstead shares, adding that this pregnancy will also help reunit the former couple.

But with Casey being 100 percent in, there are doubts of their relationship from Dawson. "There's definte ramifications in terms of her wanting to know, 'You're doing it for the right reasons, wanting to be back with me? Because we weren't even a couple when this happened,'" said Olmstead. "It just becomes like, 'OK, you got what you wanted. Now what?' Reality sets in. So it gives them some nice twist and turns as a couple. But they're galvanized as a couple, certainly, in the first part of the season."

You can catch the season premiere of Chicago Fire Tuesday, Oct. 13th at 10/9c on NBC.

Will #Linstead Get Back Together on Chicago PD?

The last time we saw Chicago PD's Erin Lindsay (played by Sophia Bush), she'd turned in her badge to be at the bar with her mother. So how will Halstead (played by Jesse Soffer), her partner react to this and is there any hoe that they could get back together?

Executive Producer Matt Olmstead told TVGuide.com that, "Halstead refueses to believe she would do this. There's a line coming up where he says, 'Tell me to my face that you're down with this.' And when she tells him, he says, 'I don't know who you are, but if you ever see Lindsay again, tell her she made me a better cop.' So, he doesn't even know who this person is anymore."

So, they're no long friends and their relationship (#Linstead) is pretty sounds like they're on a long break.

"We're going to wait," said Olmstead. "The immediate concern is to get her on her feet again and out of harm's way, but down the road...we're exploring that."

But does that mean it's too late for Halstead? "In the meantime, there's nobody else (for him)," said Olmstead.

You can catch the season premiere of Chicago PD Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 10/9c on NBC.

Mr. Robinson "Can't Buy Me Love"/"School's Out For Summer"

In this one hour season finale of Mr. Robinson, Craig tries to be there for Victoria. Does he have a chance to win her? Also a career opportunity has Craig making a tough decision.

First of all, let me just state that I enjoyed watched this series. I thought there were some really good humor and also really upbeat comedy tunes. Craig Robinson, Spencer Grammer, Brandon T. Jackson and Peri Gilpin were just fantastic.

In the first episode, "Can't By Me Love" has Craig getting closer to Victoria when she talks to him about how her and her boyfriend haven't been close lately. In the meantime, Principal Taylor informed the teachers that the school will have to cut PE and Music classes due to budget cuts.

In one attempted, there was a teacher auction. Craig plan trying to save his job but also to buy Victoria's love after news that she might move with her boyfriend to New York City. When Victoria was up for auction, her boyfriend arrives and both Craig and Robert were off to the races. But it was Robert that won at the end with his final offer and a ring.

Probably the funniest scene in this episode was when the kids got Ben to help make them a video that will have viewers donate. One scene Ben snaps out on the kids and breaks chairs. When the kids come up with an idea to show how bad a teacher Ben is that people donate to get Craig back. And of course that works really well.

In the final episode, "School's Out For Summer" after performing at the club, Craig gets an invite to join the Earth, Wind & Fire band and tour for a whole year. That leads to Craig not coming back to teach next year and that makes some kids really disappointed.

Principal Taylor cons Craig that he needs to stay and teach by using one of his students. Also Jimmy and Dalton wasn't to pleased after they were planning on going with Craig on his Nasty Delicious tour.

After going back and forth on it, Craig decides to stay with his band and teach. The best part was that Craig got to perform with Earth, Wind and Fire performing my favorite song "September."

Overall, I thought it was a really good season ender. To be honest, the last scene look like it was a goodbye with some of the cast waving goodbye.

I give "Can't Buy Me Love" a 7.5/10 and "School's Out For Summer" a 7.5/10.
As for the season, I give it a 7.5/10.

I do want this show to comeback and made re-tweak a few things with some story-lines and characterization.

The former "Bones" and "Lost" star "will be playing Deputy District Chief Ray Riddle, a gruff, hard charging fire chief above Boden (Eamonn Walker)." He's "one of a new breed of politically savvy climbers in the CFD. He's gunning for the top spot of Fire Commissioner, and he doesn't seem" to care "if Firehouse 51 ends up as collateral damage in the process."

This is the fourth actor to be added to this season's recurring guest list along side with Steven R. McQueen as a new candidate, Brian White as the new Squad Lieutenant when Severide who will be demoted by Riddle. And of course, Rachel Nichols as the new love interest for Severide.

Wood Picking: Playing House "Knotty Pine"

This week's episode of "Playing House" deals with Maggie and Emma hanging out with Tina, but it soon becomes a situation for Tina's marriage with Mark.

Trying to fix their relationship and be much like friends rather than enemies, Emma and Maggie took Tina out shopping. Trying to help her get some styling wear that Tina thinks is too much and fears that one dress shows a bit too much skin.

After having fun, Tina asks if the next time, they and Ouwilly will join a wood shop to make birdhouses. Emma didn't like it, but Maggie got her to agree. At first, it looked simple, but when the instructor Buck comes around, he gives the ladies some absolute pleasure of compliments.

Buck has hit on Tina and Maggie but not Emma. Later, when Maggie and Emma came in with their finished birdhouses, Buck was helping Tina learn how to use a specific wood tool. It could be a Ghost theme without the Unchained Melody playing.

Buck announces that he's DJing a party that night and asks Tina to go, and she agrees.

Soon, Maggie gets the scoop on Buck, and he hits on married women and breaks their marriages. Emma tries to tell Mark about it without saying anything.

At the party, Emma and Maggie get there and try to break Buck and Tina off; even while they are dancing, it isn't working until Mark comes in and surprises Tina.

Tina and Mark have an honest conversation about this situation, and soon after Emma and Maggie stop Buck from his doings, they find him on the curb alone. They might have broken up.

I found this episode hilarious, and there are so many good jokes from the woodworking scenes to when Emma asks Mark for help, not just once but twice. Mark is trying to solve the puzzle of who wrote Turd on the piece of paper that happened to be in pieces.

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch "Playing House" on Tuesday nights at 10/9c on USA, or you can see it On Demand.
