For Honor and Love: The Mysteries of Laura "The Mystery of the End of Watch" Part 2 Season Finale


In part two of the two-part season finale, Laura and the gang not only deal with the death of a fellow officer but also the murderer who did it and a moment of truth as someone speaks about her love for him.

This episode was emotional from the start, reviewing the event that occurred at the time of the shooting. We see Laura lying there with Santiani in shock and sadness. Soon, Laura gets to Santiani's son's school to inform him.

As everyone at the station is still in shock, Max isn't showing any emotions. Jake puts Santiani on the board as the only victim. The team pulls together and starts digging into who could have done it.

They all thought that it was Chung, the drug lord, that they busted in Part 1. He did threaten Laura before being taken away, and Laura thought that the shot was for her. Even though Chung wasn't in jail, he was later ruled out as a suspect.

That's when they move in on the ex-husband of Santiani. Laura got word that Nancy's son had disappeared. She and Jake look around the kid's room to find any clues. Laura finds an envelope with a plane ticket to the Cape Canaveral.

She shows Jake the ticket, drops him off at the station, and heads home. Jake sees a shop about to go out of business and heads over to buy a ring for Jen. He plans to propose to Jen. Jake tells Billy about and questions the man's motives.

In the meantime, Laura wakes and sees her boys all quiet and behaving right under Lucy's care. When talking to Lucy, she gets a flashback of Santiani and her tracker on her son's phone. They had to race towards the station and get Meredith to hack into Santiani's computer. Go figure that she is the only one using the past given password they track and find Santiani's son as he's with his father. After taking the father in for questions and a polygraph test, Laura suspects he knows who killed Santiani and will go with the plan., which is to take the money that he and the kid were to have when Santiani dies. It's about money.

The team gets set, and Laura sees the playing field. As the drop goes down, they need a confession from them, and they do, and the hounds are after them. After Meredith and Billy get one, Jake takes one down from the top and jumps on him.

After the capture and watching the son walk out with his grandmother and father, the team gathers around and listens to the call of Santiani as a salute. Every cop in New York City was silent as her name was being called.  That was such an emotional scene.

After that, Laura hugs Max, who hasn't shown any emotion after Santiani's death. Soon, Jake leaves. Billy tells Laura what Jake is about to do, and she heads home. Laura is emotional, and Lucy tells her to go after them. She races like no other and heads to where Jake and Jen are having dinner. She asks him for a minute to talk, and she tells him that she still has feelings for him. She tells him to throw the ring out and come home with her to be with the boys, but that's until Jen comes in and shows the ring on her finger.

This episode was so good. I am emotional from beginning to end, and I still want to see more. Messing gives her best performance, showing both comedic and dramatic. I love the scene where Debby and Debra talk near the end, and Debby tells her to go after him. That was so good. And the moment they honored Santaini, I thought that was such a beautiful sendoff and what the NYPD does when an officer has died.

Overall, I loved this season and gave it an 8.5/10. I want to see Laura back. Please bring it back in the same amount of episodes; that's fine. This is such a great mystery show and a show that a family can watch together. It has a great cast and excellent writing; I don't want to wait the 11th and a half hour to hear that they've been renewed. Renewed them now, NBC!!!

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10. It was just so good, more dramatic, and a little comedy.

The Family Way: The Mysteries of Laura "The Mystery of the Unknown Caller" Part 1 of 2 Part Season Finale


In this part one of a two part season finale, Laura faces a case that will not only challenge but faces her personal life as well.

When a mysterious caller, in distress, leaves a message for Laura, Meredith and her track where that caller came from before gun shots were heard. They found the body and still Laura doesn't quiet remember until they look into the guys apartment and find a photo of someone that she knows...her half sister, Lucy.

If you want to know what she like, Jake describes her better as Laura without morals. And that's true, Laura trying to find her, goes to her dad, Leo, for help. She tracks from the phone call she made from his phone and spots her at Grand Central.

After a hilarious chase scene, Laura takes her down and brings her to her office. Trying to get her to come to grips that this is serious, Laura puts her in jail cell for the time being. But there was no way that Jake was no going to notice and takes the case after Santiani was mad of how Laura took the case.

As the case gets underway, Billy and Meredith find a truck that belong to the suspect and found a hidden compartment of perception drugs, some that were mislabel. That lead Laura to get upset with Lucy even more and tell her that she can't help her being involved working for a drug lord.

But if Laura was mad at Lucy, she's even madder at her own dad for her to inform that she wasn't read her rights and so she got to walk away and not only made Laura bad but even Santiani worst after she left Leo talk to her.

After the two talked it out and had a drink, Laura came up with an idea to bust the drug lord, but needs Lucy to set it up. After convincing him about a buyer who wants to buy $5 millions worth, he tells her were to meet.

Just before Laura went in, Santiani put a tracker on her phone, like she does with her kid. These two have come closer as friends in this episode.

Laura moves in and gets stop by a janitor, who tells her to get in the basket and took her to where the drug lord. After talking and watching the truck get loaded, Laura gets her phone, turns in on and transfers the money. When she turned her phone on, Santiani spotted where she was located, see it comes in handy to have that tracker app.

After capturing the drug lord, Laura and Lucy seems to be on the verge of patching things up slowly. Santiani tells Laura that they are wanted at a press conference for the drug bust. Laura doesn't want to go, but she went anyway.

As the gang watched from their bar, as Santiani gave her speech and in a split second a gun shot was heard and a female officer was shot. As Jake race to the hospital, Laura walks out and it turns out that Santiani had died.

This of course must of been part of what that drug lord threaten Laura.

This so good of an episode that I'm freakin dying to see what comes next. Sad to see Santiani is gone after her and Laura have finally gotten along in a friendly way. Debby Ryan was amazing and the perfect choice to play Laura's sister. And I couldn't get enough of Robert Klein as Leo.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

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

Magic Mushrooms: The X-Files "Babylon"




The one thing that I can't get out of my mind from this episode is watching Mulder get so high that he wanders into a redo and a whole crazy stuff. But before talking about that, let's talk about this episode.

A case comes to the FBI when two Islamic men bomb an art gallery in Texas. The case goes to two young FBI agents that went to ask for Mulder and Scully's advice. The thing about these two young agents is that they look and act so much alike Mulder and Scully. It's like seeing them in a mirror, if it showed them 23 years ago.

As the young agents get to the airport, Scully calls the one who believes and as for Mulder called on the skeptic. They worked together to find a way to communicate to the suspect, who is still alive after the blast.

Scully tries a scientific with brainwaves, while Mulder has an idea of using magic mushrooms. Let's just say Mulder's plan seem to be very fun...and helpful.

Mulder's plan went from dozing off to walking out of the hospital onto the streets and landing into a redo. That's where Mulder does his best stuff on the dance floor and would you have it, the song Honkytonky Badonkadonk plays and Mulder seated with not only Skinner but The Lone Gunman too.

But soon Mulder gets into what he calls it "Fifty Shades of bad" with the young skeptic agent. And then gets whipped by the Cigarette Smoking Man and soon spots the suspect with his mother and speaking something in Arabic.

Mulder wakes up with the voice of Skinner. Of course, Skinner wasn't there with him and told Mulder that he put the shame in the FBI. As he was order to go back to D.C., he see the mother of the suspect and brings her to see her son.

They walk in with Scully and the other agent trying to read his brainwaves but soon after she appears, the suspect dies. That leads Mulder trying to think of what the suspect told him in his dream. And after minutes, he speaks it out and it turns out that what he said was Babylon hotel. That's where the other bombers were at.

At the end, the young agents grew closure than before, just like Mulder and Scully. And as for Mulder, he and Scully talk about his thoughts on this case and the powers that be. I think it just brings them a little but closure than we seen them before.

Next week's episode is the season finale and from the promo, it looks like it will be one hell of a finale.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10. It was very good with the humor, the story was good too. The characters were amazing, like watching how the mentor hangs with the mentee. And also who didn't get goosebumps or find it funny when Scully answered the agents as "No one here but the FBI Un-most wanted."

You can catch the season finale of The X-Files Monday nights at 8/7c on FOX.
