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.
