The Cook of Murder: The Mysteries of Laura "The Mystery of the Dead Heat"


When a gym owner is found murdered and cooked, Laura and Co. not only have to find the murder but also where they'll hit next.

Laura and Jake come to a murder in the gym hot room. They come around with their first suspect named Archie. Jake and Meredith found him in the victim's car and almost took a swing towards Jake.

When Meredith got to interview him, he tells her that he was homeless without a job. The victim tried to help him with anyway that was possible. Even though he's not a suspect after that, the Captain still thinks he did it.

Laura proved her wrong. Soon her and Jake went back to a couple that they interviewed but by the time they get there, their place was empty. They had like a full on American Ninja Warrior look. Laura went back to the wife while Jake and the team check out the place.

Billy finds the murder weapon, and a piece of paper that had different times. It wasn't until Jake found out those were the times for sunsets and that they plan to hit or bomb a place at 5:59pm. Laura gets the victim's wife to find what building the suspects were going to go after. The first one was the bank, but that turned out to be a distraction but it turned out to be another place where it's going construction, hence the Warrior training.

Laura and Jake take the two suspects, with one of them escaping but gets caught by Billy and Meredith.

Also in this episode, Billy's trying to sneak in his mother to see Meredith. Even though Billy tries to play it cool and acting like his mother wants to see him and such. We finally see that Billy and Meredith are now a couple.

Laura refers Jake to her dad's doctor. In exchange for a date, Jake needs a doctor's note. Which I think they'll be on a date real soon. And Laura and Santiani's relationship seem to be growing into a friend zone. Helping the captain dodge an almost punishment from the Chief for misdirecting the case.

Overall, I enjoyed this episode very much. It felt more like one of those classic mystery series you would want to watch on the weekends. It wasn't has intriguing  as last week's episode but it was still good.

I give this week's episode a 7/10.

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

The Love and Twist: Chicago PD "Climbing into Bed/You Never Know Who's Who"


It's the event of the fall; Chicago PD pulls a two-hour event that's always, ever worth watching. Ruzek faces trouble from an undercover job that goes wrong and a case that's so strange that it leaves with a twist.

In the first hour, Ruzek is undercover with his CI, meeting a man looking to help with a robbery. Ruzek doesn't have a backup but calls Dawson and tells him the situation. The situation turns left when the guy drives his truck and drives to a dinner.

There, it becomes a blood bath; Ruzek tries to stop him but escapes.

This leads Ruzek to one of the worst moments in his career when the Deputy questions his doings and why he didn't have a backup.


That leads Voight and the team to not only track the guy down but also Ruzek's CI as well. When they got to the CI's girlfriend, they scooped him and had him help get the guy. But it turned out soon that Ruzek's CI was found dead.

They looked up the suspect's bio, found his parole officer, and located where he worked. With a tip that he took a worker's truck, they discovered it at a motel. Halstead, Dawson, and Erin find the suspect in the laundry room beating up the victim's son, who had something to do with the robbery at his parent's diner.

The case closed when the suspect told Ruzek he thought the guys he was working with would cut him off.

At the end of this episode, the fate of Ruzek's career hangs out to be suspended from duty, but they can still help out the Intelligence from the house. That didn't sit well with Ruzek at all.

Burgess tries to help Roman get to his appointment for the boner morrow, but it is canceled. So, with Roman taking some time off, Burgess gets to work with a new partner for a while, and they get a call from a creep watching two kids at the park. It turns out that the guy is dead and in a very protective car.

This brings Voight and the team to take the case and locate the victim's place.

They check the place out, and in one of the most crappy intense scenes, they find a located safe where it leads to a safe room and then goes into another safe where that leads to a giant room full of guns.

With Ruzek off duty, he helps Mouse check the guns and Burgess. The teams search for answers, and as they do, they get word that the body was stolen from Chicago Med.    

Voight, Dawson, and Halstead locate where a suspect was found dismantling the body. But was stopped and taken down from Halstead. Then, questioning the suspect, he was told that he works for the CIA and that the victim had given him orders to do so if something happened.

Al took Voight to one of his insights and was told that the victim had not been in any form in the CIA for more than a week. So the victim was playing a fake James Bond and had guys doing a lot of illegal stuff. That's when Lindsay brought in Dr. Charles from Chicago Med to give his input on the suspect and to talk with the victim's man.


With help from the victim's guy, Al pretends to be the guy they're meeting. They go to their meeting spot, and things get fishy when the guy asks Al about the project he and the victim worked on. Al gets shot and broken ribs, but he's okay. But with the guy on the run, Dawson had to do what he had to, and that wasn't him down.

Soon, Voight and the team get word on another guy; this one had them chase him, but Voight, with the plan, has Atwater bring a city truck to take down the guy and his supercar. The guy is arrested and tells Voight that he'll get out and have his badge. Silly dude, he's been played.

Later, Ruzek's suspension was revoked, and he is back to work thanks to Platt. Platt is such a mother to the team as Voight is like a father. Roman took the kid to the station to hang out and got to do some cool things, but sadly, his health took a turn for the worst. Al received the paternity test but threw it away because he didn't need a piece of paper to say if she was his.


And the moment that we've been waiting for Halstead and Lindsay are a couple!!! First, helping her find a couch, then testing the couch, and finally having a drink and leaving early. Linstead is back in business.

I very much enjoyed this series. It's one of the best two hours of television I've watched this season.

I'm happy to see something happen to another character besides Lindsay and Halstead.  I can't wait to see how this affects Ruzek, along with his relationship with Burgess, because something will happen; I just have a feeling.

Overall, I give this Climbing into Bed 8.5/10, and You Never Know Who's Who 9/10.

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

Helping the Soul: Blindspot "Cede Your Soul"



An app that puts on a hit, a relationship tries keeping it professional and more issues comes into one agent's life. This week's episode of Blindspot hit's another mark.

When an assassination leads Kurt and Jane to a dangerous app that allows criminals t track down and kill government agents who are protecting in government vehicles. They most work against the clock to use the app and try taking down the creator.

The one clue that helps them with the app is the owl looking figure that so happens to be on Jane's leg. They track down the creator and it leads to a hacker name Ana Montes, who clams that she's working for the CIA but later learned that she was tricked.

The case takes a turn and gets Ana to help. They track down the man that got her to make the app and tracked him down. The suspect is a bit of a step ahead so their plan was to get two steps ahead which was to explode his power source to cause a fire and get him out. The suspect didn't get out so Jane and Kurt goes back and gets him out.

The relationship between Jane and Kurt are being questioned when it gets more personal than professional. Hell, even Mayfair is thinking that Kurt is getting to personal with Jane. It surely shows but it's not an issue for me. I enjoy watching these two go at it when they try to solve these mysterious tattoos and what happen to Jane.

Kurt's sister gets him to come back home where their father is there. Kurt accepts and sits with them at the table and tells him about how Taylor was found alive. It really look like a ton of weigh has been lifted off of him, since he's dying of cancer.

Zapata deals with her gambling demons and paying her debuts little by little. That payment comes from the CIA work from given information on Jane and the investigation.

Also questions are being asked when Patterson talked to Kurt about information that she had found and hopes to do something but when he asked her to talk to Mayfair about it. Patterson explained that she would but hasn't shown anything. A lot of interesting tips of information has gone towards Mayfair and sure hasn't done anything about it. What the hell is she hiding? We do know about Project Daylight.

And also who's the mysterious man with the tree tattoo on his arm? We see him in the first scene of the episode and the final scene as well. Was that a dream that Jane had with this guy or was it real?

This episode had me on the edge of my seat once again. I enjoy watching the characters of Jane and Kurt grow and learn from one another as each episode goes on. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Patterson and Ana in this episode. Watching two solve the case, makes me wonder if Ana should stay and work with the FBI along with Patterson. Two heads are better than one.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Blindspot Monday nights at 10/9c on NBC.
