Chicago Heat: Chicago PD "Made A Wrong Turn"

When a drug exchange goes wrong for one person, his girlfriend is kidnapped in one of the worst area for CPD to search in south side of Chicago.

This episode his the nail on the head if I ever seen an episode like it. With all the news that has been going on in Chicago with the gun violence and the hatred for the CPD, this episode shows that but also shows a better side to things.

The episode on the hottest day of the season, the Intelligence Unit searches for a woman who was left in the car when her boyfriend was buying drugs with few bucks and the rest as monopoly money (smart, but stupid as Jay told him). Got to love that Chicago heat wave, don't ya?

As the team search, Mouse comes in and find that the missing victim was wearing a fit bit watch and they followed the location where it was at a crack house with only her fit bit there and a piece of hair left in one box car.

Burgess and Yan head to another part of the neighborhood, where someone threw a rock at their window. When confronting them, the folks aren't gonna say anything until one lady comes up bringing both them and Voight and Al in for a drink and information, telling them that she saw a white guy taping down the street and that lead Voight to one person.

Voight and Al make a visit to a friend's place who likes to take record certain things in the neighborhood and forces him to show him the video tape, which he had of the kidnapping. Only chills came down as Voight knocked him down from his chair and Al coming towards him telling him not to do it again.

The person that they're after is a man that goes by the nickname 6-6 because he's six foot six inches. The locate where he's staying and it's a place that's not in love with cops , go figure. Voight decides to go through the front of the gate and ask to get him, after they allowed them through they found the 6-6 but he's not going down quietly.    

Holding the victim in another room, Voight sees where the guy is at and had Halstead in the other room. After given him the location he gives Halstead the mark and shoots 6-6 without hurting the missing victim.

Other things that happen in this episode, Halstead and Lindsey are now officially a couple as Erin got Jay to move in with him. I really don't think he actually bought the place that he said he was going to that he was playing with her hoping to move in with her.

Platt deals with the Commander who forced Yan to another job, because she turned him down for a romance of fun (by the way, who would want that from that guy?). After Platt being Platt the guy goes off on her and demanding her to send Yan back or else. I think "or else" would be a part in next week's episode, don't you think?

There was a moment in this episode that really struck a mark. When Voight and Al was walking down the street, a man comes up asking for Voight. He asked if he remembers him, which Voight doesn't but remembers the guy's grandson who was put in jail. The grandfather thanked Voight for what he has done for his grandson that he doesn't have to think of his safety out in the neighborhood, for which I thought it was sweet and something that we need of at these hard times.

I thought that this episode was great and even next week's episode looks to be a very special episode.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Task At Hand: Blindspot "Hero Fears Imminent Rot"

With a bombs setting off in New York for the FBI to handle, but for Jane she's dealing with a mind set when her brother and mother gives her a task to do.

In the last scene of the previous episode, we see that Roman drugged Jane. Jane wakes up in room as she tries to figure out where she is at. She's take to see Roman and Sheppard where they asked her about Cade and how she escaped him. She tells them well enough for them to give her a task to see if she's who they think she is and that it to kill one of there following, Jeffery.

Roman and Jane go on a road trip to see Jeffery. She gets flashbacks of them together, but when they get to his house and go in, the guy freaks and runs to his safe room. After battling his security, Jane gets him to come out and Roman knocked him out. They take him to the woods and Roman tells him to take him out, but Jane tries to save him, but Roman kills him and tells her she said the mission.

Meanwhile, the FBI deals with bomb attacks that are happening around the city. Patterson and Nas figured out tweets from the bombers who tweets the person's name and when it will happen as it's set on a timer.

Jane comes back and tells Weller and Nas that she might have been caught when she failed a mission that they gave her. Weller and Nas argued over the difference of opinion of Jane's situation. When Patterson comes in and tells them about the next bomb to go off, Nas sends Jane with Weller and the team and it goes smooth but not quite as one suspect is dead but the other is still out there.

Weller tells Jane to stay, and the rest head out to where the bomber was set to set of another bomb this time with him and hostages. Weller goes in unarmed and tells everyone not to shoot. Weller goes in and puts on the bomb that the suspect ordered him to do. They talk as Weller tells him to think about the hostages families as the bomber tells him his story of how he lost his parents and sister and his partner lost his son.

But just as Weller talks more, gun shots go off and the suspect is killed. Nas was the one who shot the suspect and  the two budded heads once again. Nas did have a good point about the situation.

Meanwhile, Reade is trying to think if he should use a technique to regain past memory of the time he was with Coach Jones so he could testify against him, but would it be a great idea to remember those kind of memories.  

Patterson gets cold feet before the date with Borden. But after talking with Zapata she goes back and instead of having dinner they went right to dessert.

Jane gets a call from Roman and shes taken to meet with him and Sheppard. She tells Jane that she's sorry that she asked her do kill Jeffery and gives her a hug. Roman never told her about it. Soon they go to the bond fire and Jane speaks as they have a chance to remember Oscar and at the same time Weller, Zapata and Reade have a drink to remember Mayfair too.

I thought this was a good episode. I have to say that during the scene when the bombers were in the bathroom as they get the bomb set before taking to out to the park, the music score sounded like a video game. The writing was action packed as usually.

I'm enjoying the clash between Weller and Nas. They may have opposite opinions but they do know what's right and wrong. And Jane and the family was another thing too. Also Jane dealing with not only the FBI and Sheppard should be given her a headache, I can't wait to see what comes next for these folks.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Blindspot Wednesday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

Chicago PD Star Joining New Series

Get ready for a character leaving for another show, but don't get too upset as this character won't be going away.

Deadline has reported exclusively that Jon Seda, who plays Intelligence Unit detective Antonio Dawson on Chicago PD will be leaving the series to be joining the latest spin off in the Chicago series, Chicago Justice.  On the legal series, Seda will reprise his character who will now be an investigator for the DA's office. His character will be partnered with fellow investigator Lori Nagle, played by Joelle Carter.

When Chicago PD aired the backdoor pilot to Chicago Justice, Nagle was partnered with investigator Daren Okada, played by newcomer Ryan-James Hatanaka. But with Seda's Dawson taking over the role, Hatanaka is out.

Word is that the idea came from the Chicago boss, Dick Wolf, as a creative dicision based on the natural trajectory of the character who had been hitting a wall on his intelligence beat and as a single father, had been looking for a more stable, steady job.

No word on the timing of Seda's transition from P.D. to Justice. He's still on the cop drama, where Dawson will eventually leave for his new gig as he'll be joining Philip Winchester and Carl Weathers.

Justice, will premiere during midseason, is the third Chicago series for Seda. He started off as a recurring on the mother ship Chicago Fire. He and Jason Beghe were spun off to anchor the spin off Chicago P.D. as the leads, and ever since Day 1 he's been a series regular.

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