Can't Save Them All: Code Black "Pre-Existing Conditions"

You can't save them all. But when you do, you do your best to your instinct.

This week's episode deals with just some of that. When a prisoner comes in, does he deserve to be treated and saved? That's what Lorenson thinks about when she treats a patient. After telling her that he enjoys killing and such, he gets into her head. Until Hudson tells her that he's her patient and that the best way to handle fear is to be afraid of being brave.

I felt like Angus had a lot more in this episode than the rest of the characters. He deals with a patient when he's hear stop beating but when Mario tells him that it's the patient's heart, Angus thinks its something else. The patient of course is alive, but it was what Angus thought it was. He doesn't speak up and gets placed on treating patients in the waiting area.

He meets one patient that kind have has the hots for him, but she's a stripper but he doesn't see that she's into him. One patient, an elderly man, comes in complaining about a bunch of stuff but when he couldn't breathe and someone given him a protein bar, it turned out to be an allergy from the bar.

Soon he tries to tube the patient to give him an airway. Nervous but he finds the airway while he hums a tune and soon everyone was humming as well.

Rorish deals with Mario, who thinks that he's thinks too high of himself. The other is when a two car crash victims, both are brothers, come in. One of them lives and the other didn't and it doesn't make their mother all the well and wished that the one that lived would have died instead of the other.

But it was when Rorish talked to the mother and how she could understand what she's gone through. She tells her that she lost her husband and two children in a car accident from a drunk driver. I know that it's something that Rorish doesn't want to talk about but it does show that she can open up to give others a but of understanding and hope.

This episode was pretty good. There was a lot of character development from Rorish and Angus. There was a lot of interesting patients coming through those doors.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

A Mentor's Return: The Mysteries of Laura "The Mystery of the Convict Mentor"

This week's case reunites a familiar face to Laura and the team, when her former Captain and friend helps on a cold case that she's been trying to solve for a long time.

When Laura gets a phone call from a familiar face, her old captain that tried to shoot her in the series premiere, Hauser. He tips Laura in code that he has information on a suspect that's has some hidden stuff. One of them were two dead bodies in a vent in a warehouse basement.

Laura and Jake take a look and found that Hauser was right. Laura tries to play it cool like he's her CI and try to get more information when she visits him. Hauser talks about Mullens, the one case that Laura spent nights trying to solve and find those two victims that she just found.

Just as Laura goes through the case, Jake get her to watch the news and found out that Mullens and Hauser had escape from jail. A man hunt underway, Laura thinks of what Hauser had told her. When they figured out that Mullens had more warehouse than they had thought they try to put a SWAT team out there waiting for them. But Laura gets a clue that from her police radio of a robbery at a store and one of the items was pork grins.

That got Laura to find the other clue which was an address left by Hauser and soon Laura gets there. She tries to wait for Jake and the others to show up but couldn't take the chance when Mullens pulled a gun on Hauser. Laura acts quickly trying to stop Mullens. The all three of them talk and Laura acts like she doesn't have a shot. I couldn't really tell if she didn't or if she was playing but by the time she was about to shoot, Billy takes the shot.

This doesn't help Hauser reducing his sentence for the murder that he did, but it does give a bit of closure for him and Laura as they give a one final goodbye. He was not just a mentor but a friend and family member.

I couldn't help but to think that Billy and Meredith have to know that they are in a relationship. I think that they're pretending in the public's eye but we know what's going on.

This episode was very good. I think that this episode was one of Debra Messing's best one yet. Her character dealing with the return of Hauser and solving an old case from the suspect that's in jail.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

Here's a promo for next week's episode.

"Party's Over:" Chicago PD "Actual Physical Violence"

A report on a missing child turns into a hostage situation that soon turns into a search and rescue. This week's Chicago PD was another gripping episode that left a big bang at the end.

 When busy CPD gets over whelmed with people, Jeff Frazier comes in and reports about his missing daughter. Trudy tells him that he need to go to missing person's office, but he replied that he's been down there and told to go to CPD. But Frazier wasn't going to take it, so he grabs Mouse and puts a gun to his head. Now things are in a sticky situation.

Voight talks to Frazier, takes the bag that has information on his daughter. Frazier takes Mouse and goes into another room until Voight can find his daughter. Antonio, Ruzek and Al finds out where the the girl's credit card was last used and found a guy buying three big screen TV's. They find the guy and his girlfriend told them that he found the card in a car that he broke into.

The team find broken glass on the side street but no car. But Ruzek finds something very odd to one house with a sprinkler put in in a dried flower pot. It was a camera and soon went to the house. They search all the way to the bottom where they found a computer with images out front and back and a another room where there was girls keep in cages.

Meanwhile, Mouse tries talking to Jeff about what service he did and his background. Both of them were in the military. Soon, Voight talked to Jeff to tell him that they found their daughter, soon he comes out and as soon as they walked out, Mouse pulls a sneak move and grabs his gun. Jeff goes into jail cell until they find his daughter.

The team searches for the guy name Trevor, even a tip from Benson about the suspect. Ruzek found out that Trevor was going to meet with another girl at the bus station. They go and found him, they take him and put him in the cage back at CPD and had a "nice chat" with Voight and a poker that he used on the girls. When Trevor talked, the team found the place where the leader of this ring was found, but shot to death by Frazier's daughter.

The team gets word that the daughter is at the L-station with a gun. Halstead, Erin and Al get there and Erin talks to the daughter to calm her down and put to the gun down. The daughter doesn't approve of what she had done and was about to kill herself but Erin tries to stop her and soon Voight brings her dad and together they hug.

I was very moved from what the father had to do to get someone to find her daughter. That doesn't mean that I approve of it. I was also moved by Sophia's performance talking to the daughter about not to shoot herself. And I can't forget Sam C. Hunt, who's performance was amazing. Learned a little bit more of his backstory.

But as I said, the episode ended with a bang. Voight had his son, daughter-in-law and grandchild and about to go out for dinner. When Voight tries unlocking the car, it makes a noise and explodes. That was to believe the guy James Beckett that Bunny had help get release from jail, because Voight gave a false report. And because Bunny doesn't get what she wants.

This episode had some real twist and a big turn. Next week's episode will sure be an amazing episode. There was of course a few cameos like Oliver Pratt with word that the reopening of Chicago Med will be on Nov. 17th. I'm sure we can't all wait.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Big Changes A Coming: Chicago Fire "Let It Burn" Season Premiere

The 
In a dramatic return, the Chicago Fire returns with changes from inside the house and in personal lives.

The episode starts where it left off when Dawson comes into Matt's apartment and sees Katya dead on the floor. She calls Antonio and tells them that Matt has been taken. Voight and Antonio locate where Matt is, but by the time they get there, shots are fired. Thinking that Matt was the one who got shot, it turns out that it was Nesbitt's business friend, and Matt was beating the hell out of Nesbitt.

Dawson comes in late and sees the aftermath of what went down. Matt heads back to work. He seems to be calm, but he's trying to put the pieces together. Severide, on the other hand, gets news that he's been stripped down from his position on Squad due to his recent history that has gone down with the replacements. I know it's unfair, but now Patterson comes in and takes the lead on Squad.

Patterson may act friendly to all, but something is going on that doesn't seem right. Now, Severide has to take a class on becoming a better manager. And, oh yeah, he makes a study buddy, too.

Britt and Chili make a run for a pregnant lady who got shot during a robbery. The bullet goes into her shoulder, but soon, she goes into labor before they even leave. Chilidelivered the baby, but wasn't crying. Another ambulance comes in and helps treat the newborn. But the mother takes a turn for the worst when the mother goes into cardiac arrest and doesn't make it. It took a toll on Britt and Chili, but they learned that the baby made it, thanks to Halstead from Med.

An emergency comes on a house fire, but before they get there, the streets are blocked from both directions. Matt takes his frustration by driving a truck and ramming the cars to the side. They rescued a man in the house fire but died, and Dawson and Otis saved one elderly guy.

While Matt and Severide deal with issues, Dawson tells Matt she's pregnant. And going into a house and almost getting blown from the house next door. She tried talking to him several times, but Matt got the news that Nesbitt walked out and was working for the FBI.

But it wasn't until Matt got to sign off for Dawson's new uniform that got burned in the house fire he ran to talk to her and express his love for her again. Then, after he was done, she spelled it out, "I'm pregnant."

This season, they premiand ered started great. Changes have always come on the show; this is going to change some heads with new people and new challenges. The new candidate made a great introduction but didn't give a good one to Bowden. I sure enjoyed it. Steven McQueen reminds me a bit of Noah Wyle's Dr. Carter. Spencer's performance was excellent, and so were Raymund and Madison.

 Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

Life in Pieces "Prison Baby Golf Picking"

This week's episode of Life in Pieces was funny at points and hilarious at the rest.

In "Chad's Last Meal," Jordan Peele's character, Chad, is going to jail and asks his former fiance to give him one last meal. It was either way, meal or sex, and Colleen and Matt decided on dinner.

They headed to Colleen's grandmother's house, where they had a lovely meal. Matt didn't hit it off with Colleen's grandmother, even when he gave her a bottle of Mexican drink, which she replied that it reminded her of when her stepdad beat her mother. As soon as they left, Chad ran away from Matt and Colleen.

In "The Beds," Heather's youngest daughter isn't used to having her room. She's going into each other's bedrooms. But really, she has a peanut in her nose that she's trying to get out. Weird but funny. As soon as the peanut was taken out, Tyler walked by, taking the peanut without knowing where it came from.

But it was both "Tim's great round" and the"Triangle" that had me hilariously laughing my butt off. Tim is playing golf with John, Matt, and Greg, having a guy's time. Tim is playing unbelievably well. Greg and Matt are freaking out because their dad dislikes losing. Even Heather told Tim to lose, but he didn't listen. My great-grandmother always said, "If you're not going to listen, you're going to feel."

He did feel it on the last hole, and John comes up to Tim on his previous putt to win it and kisses him. That threw Tim off, and they lost the game.
The "Triangle" deals with Greg and Jen coping with their mother's advice of what's best for their child. Jen tells Greg that he doesn't back her up against his mother but decides to and tells Joan about not butting in. Joan agrees, but that leaves Heather doing what Joan does and Heather's youngest, too. It was weird but hilarious.

This episode had some hilarious moments. A few were in Chad's meal and the beds, but the triangle and Tim's round were better. I can't get enough of Colin Hanks in this show. He's really like the perfect new father and husband. Dianne Wiest was hilarious and unique. She's like the calmer version of Marie Barone.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

The Twist in the Tooth: Blindspot "Bone May Rot"

The risk of the world is on Taylor's face, as the Weller and the team try to stop a weaponize virus from spread throughout the world.

As Jane Doe learned that she's Taylor Shaw, her and Kirk talks about it in a session with the FBI therapist, but nothing much was actually prepossessing expect that we've learn from Kirk that he was there when she was kidnapped or he was supposed to be watching her. After that the session ended.

Patterson, one that brings a bit of humor to the series, gets a little help from her boyfriend solving one of the tattoo puzzles. This one with two leaves together making a sign that is to the CDC where it's on the corner of two known leaves.

That help give the Kirk and the team, that includes Taylor, to go over to the CDC and check things out. But as soon as they get into their contamination room, a three numbers of codes where written on Taylor's face under ultraviolet light.

Those codes are of the highly contaminated viruses that they locked down in their Level 4 area, which is directly in the same building where they are in. With Kirk and Taylor going down to Level 4, Reade and Zapata stay and asked questions.

Taylor and Kirk along with one of the scientist finds out that one of each container is missing from its box. That was until someone pulled a called a lockdown in the building.

Kirk had a moment waiting for the lockdown to be over. He kind of freaks out being in cooped in a room for a longtime. The lockdown took more than two hours but soon that it was lifted, Reade and Zapata gets word to talk to Rebecca who was the one that started the lockdown took the vials of deadly diseases and set them in a suitcase at the airport. They couldn't catch Rebecca by the time they caught her, she killed herself and her husband.

The episode got intense when Kirk, Taylor and everyone tired to find the suitcase at the airport. As the everyone was evacuating the airport, they soon found the suitcase. As Reade, Taylor and Zapata get back to contamination, only Kirk stayed. As the head of CDC makes it in there to help, Kirk gets word from Patterson that the CDC guy is not  but as the fight goes on, Taylor comes in and taglines with Kirk and knocked the guy down.

Once again, that scene was totally awesome. Kirk battles and than here comes Taylor and bam bam bam knocked out. There's something between these two that just seem so great with chemistry.

I was amazed how Reade gave a compliant to Taylor. But also talks about how he's not worried about how she does on the field but how Kirk is acting with her along. He explains that before, he was the guy that pulled crazy stuff in a split second, but until Taylor came, he's been careful.

But a twist at the end sets up more questions, Patterson talked to Kirk in private. Patterson tested the tooth that was left at the safehouse, she tested it and it come out that this was a baby tooth and that she was born in Africa. Kirk didn't believe it that he knows where she was born at, because he was there when they brought her home. Apparently Taylor Shaw isn't Taylor Shaw, so she's back as Jane Doe. The twist from the tooth.

And meanwhile Mayfair is getting pressure from CIA Tom Carter for him to meet with Jane. He needs to know that no one else knows what project Daylight is about, which seems like he wants to do something to her.

This episode wasn't disappointing at all. There was some intense scenes and of course some shockers that Jane isn't really Taylor Shaw. It seems that Kirk and Taylor work very well off on one another. I can't see where this is going and with a full season pick up something tells me that this season is going to have some really good moments.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Heart to Heart: Sunday Night Comedy & Drama

Brooklyn Nine-Nine "Boyle's Hunch" 

Love is in the air for Boyle when he meets a beautiful lady at court, while he and Jake are waiting for a case.
Boyle meets Genevieve Mirren-Carter (played by Mary Lynn Rasjskub) hit it off well with Boyle but she had to go into court but by the time she came  out, Boyle was going to ask her out. The problem is that she's serving ten years in prison for fraud.

Boyle, who's upset about Genevieve going to jail, determines to investigate the case with the help of Jake by his said. The two interview her and talked about her boyfriend, an artist who's having a gallery showing. Jake and Boyle head towards the gallery showing undercover.

They not only talked to the ex-boyfriend but it was his secretary that looked odd and not that she was in latex, but that she was glad that her boss' ex-girlfriend's stuff can be taken.

But on the bright side of this storyline, Jake solved the case that it was the secretary. Jake did it for Boyle, which was very nice and buddy cop like.

Meanwhile Rosa was upset that someone's been eating her ice cream and tells Terry who she thinks it is, Hitchcock and Scully. But Terry and Rosa couldn't prove it, so they interrogated them a but but they also tested the spoon sample that was left in the trash. The two did confirm that they ate it by running towards the bathroom. Let's just say it's not a good win for Rosa and Terry when Hitchcock and Scully go running towards the bathroom.

And Captain Holt wants Amy to be the face of the NYPD to show that they care. Gina doesn't think it was a great idea and she was right. Amy brought a poster that had artwork done and it wasn't pretty. Holt did fix it with a poster of how they can help and an email address.

This episode was very good. I thought that the Jake and Boyle story. I couldn't get enough of Boyle and Genevieve talking to one another. Those two could hit it off. Also Rosa and Terry are hilarious little storyline about the ice cream. I love it when Rosa gets upset. I didn't care much for the Holt, Amy and Gina storyline. It was funny at times but more of a light humor story.


Overall I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch Brooklyn Nine-Nine Sunday nights at 8:30/7:30c on FOX.

CSI: Cyber "Heart Me" 

Two cases, one solved and it's all about one thing: revenge.

Raven and her friend, Marcie hangout at a club one night. While there Marcie get's asked by a guy named Holden, who liked her very much but was turned down as she lied to him about having a boyfriend.

But that wouldn't be the last time she would see him as he stalks her and causes a whole mess of problems. Marcie lost her job, lost her apartment, and her band account, so she turns to Raven for help and the Cyber team. Raven hands it to Amy and they check on the guy that they think could be the suspect. Turns out that the suspect is dead in his own home.

Marcie is a suspect with her fingerprints around the crime scene. Soon, D.B. and the team do some fingerprinting from the two phones that were left at the crime scene. Seem that there were two different prints.

As Marcie was hoping to get money, Holden had cancelled her transfer from her mother. And slashed her tire and offered her a ride. It was then that she was arrested and brought in. She talked to Amy and told her what had happen that she could remember.

Amy doesn't think that she did it. Of course, she didn't do it Amy, this is all about someone getting their feelings hurt because he didn't get what he wanted. As soon as Marcie was released, Raven gives her a laptop and phone that no one can access, not even Raven. That turned out to be wrong, as Holden messaged her by phone. That was due to her connection to Raven from HeartMate app.

Raven informs Marcie about it and Marcie turns the tables towards Holden and gets him to meet at a spot til the FBI catches him. Raven had to talk Marcie down when she had a box cutter in her hand, wanting to kill him. Close one no doubt there.

I should mention that Van Der Beek's character goes through some emotional state. Last week we learn that his dad has cancer and doesn't want to be treated. It was when he picked up his daughter that he had a really good emotional moment when he broke down and his daughter tells her that it's going to be fine.

Not to forget, the other case in this episode wasn't solved. Trying to take down a website that shows revenge photos of women that send sexy photos to their boyfriends.

I enjoyed this episode well. I loved that Raven got a good episode. I could never get enough of D.B.'s inventions.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.
