Leap into Faith: The Good Place "Chapter 22: Leap to Faith"

Just when you thought that things could go wrong, it goes so so right.

Picking up from the cliffhanger from the previous episode, Shawn meets with Michael. Just when things start to intense, you would think that it's probably that Shawn figured out what Michael was doing, but turns out that he still thinks that phase two is a success. And gives Michael a promotion for his success.

Soon, Michael summons Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani and Jason and tells them (once again) that they're in he bad place in front of Shawn and a metal handcuffed Janet, who's drunk from the metal. Eleanor and the gang are pretty confused thinking that Michael went behind their backs but Eleanor thinks that Michael is still on their side.

With the town celebrating, Michael gives Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani and Jason a big celebrity roast, making fun of them one person at a time, and then throwing the biggest trash party in town, because it was going to be no more after. Soon, Vicky, who's been trying to get Michael to tell Shawn that she gets credit for the success, sees Michael talking into Janet's ear and tries to get Janet to tell her what he told her, not to mention trying to take the cuffs off her.

As soon as morning rise and the last song was to be played, Michael and Shawn sees that the gang is leaving on the train to the middle place. Upset about it, Shawn gets everyone on the train, that includes a troubled cocooned Vicky, who admitted that she tries to take the cuffs off Janet. When Michael gets Bad Janet to scan the place for the mortals, no one was found and soon the trains leaves.

As the train leaves, Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, Jason and Janet were all underneath the train. Eleanor looks at Michael and gives one of the shocking most heartwarming moments of the episode as he was really with them. After a hug-fest, Eleanor explained how they, mostly her, figured out the clues that Michael left for them from mentioning Kierkegaard to Derek Borties, who's actual name is Blake Borites of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Jason's favorite QB, as signs for them to do like get Derek to drive the train to Mindy St. Clair making Shawn and them feel that they left.

This is the genius of what The Good Place is all about with great creative writing and strong characters that really enjoying but also gives you those twist and turns of is this happening. "Leap To Faith" might be the best episode so far this season, as this season has been a home run. Ted Danson, once again, shines in this episode playing Michael that you really don't know if he actually turns on Eleanor and the gang or not until the very end. I very much enjoyed this episode a lot. Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.

You can catch The Good Place Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

Love Helps: Chicago Med "Mountains and Molehills"

Chicago Med returns as a doctor learns the difficulty of informing about a loss, a relationship is being acknowledged, and a mysterious illness baffles the staff.

When a mysterious illness comes to Med, a young girl who can't walk is brought to the ER with Halstead and Manning taking care of things after having a #Manstead nooner in the parking lot. Every test doesn't give any answers until Halstead starts showing signs of feeling in his legs. It wasn't until Manning thought, after glimpsing the young girl starting to walk and feel again, of a diagnosis of tick paralysis, which was easily be treated.

Noah works with Rhodes during a trauma and does what every young doctor would do, making promises he can't keep. After his patient seemed to be okay and had his family with him, the family needed to be somewhere, and Noah gave them the OK and would watch him. Later, Noah takes the patient out of the room, and soon he dies minutes.

Noah takes on the challenge of telling the family and gets a brother's reaction when he pushes Noah through the family room doors. But Noah understood that it was grief they were dealing with and didn't want to press charges.

Ethan, April, and Goodwin deal with a patient who shows signs of HIV/AIDS, but the patient wouldn't allow them to test her for it. But instead, to treat her for the flu. The challenge for them is that they couldn't tell the patient's aunt about her condition because of the laws. But Goodwin saves the day again with her stories of patients she's treated as a nurse dealing with HIV/AIDS when it was an unknown disease.

But between their case, April and Ethan, who are dealing with opening up their relationship with everyone, finally admits that Ethan is her boyfriend.

On the other hand, things with Reese aren't going as well as we would hope. Her car gets broken into, not to mention that she's not seeing any patients and that she freaked out when Noah got attacked by the patient's family member. She's suffering badly and, in the end, leaves us with her trying to buy a gun but instead gets pepper spray. 

"Mountains and Molehills" was an excellent episode to return to after the holiday break that brought exciting, frustrating, concerning, and pretty shocking moments. There was enough story to have me focus on what was going on, from Manstead dealing with the illness to Noah facing the deal of telling a loved one has died to even Reese, whose storyline has been quite emotional for the time. There was good character growth in this episode. The writing was excellent, and the performances from Rachel DiPillo and S. Epatha Merkerson were terrific. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.


You can catch Chicago Med Tuesdays at 10/9c on NBC.

New Janet or Old Janet?/Uh Oh!: The Good Place "Chapter 20: Janet and Michael"/"Chapter 21: Derek"

"Chapter 20: Janet and Michael"

As Michael figures out why Janet is glitching, we learn how both Michael and Janet first met.

"Janet and Michael" might be one of the most humorist and emotional episode of the season as we learn about Michael and Janet's past while Michael figures out what is wrong with Janet and why she's glitching.

Michael puts it all together that Janet's glitches are caused from lying, mostly about her feelings for Jason. Janet tells Michael the only way to fix it was to have her self-destruct. Michael tries but comes up with excuses for doing so and doesn't. But Michael gives one of the best heartfelt moments as he tells Janet that he wouldn't do it because she's his friend.

Michael thinks of another way, this time sending Janet to Eleanor for her help. Eleanor advises Janet on a rebound relationship and turns out Janet made her own boyfriend, Derek, who happens to be not in a good mental state and gets easily distracted.

"Janet and Michael" was an excellent episode with such wit and emotions. Both Janet and Michael both shown a lot of character growth, mostly Michael in this episode, as he opens up his true feels for Janet as a friend. The writing of this episode was solid along with the performances from Danson and Carden. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"Chapter 21: "Derek"

In the fall finale, Michael tries to fix the Janet and Derek issue, but comes with another surprise.

After meeting Derek, Michael gets Tahani and Jason away on a nice vacation, but later decides to get married. When news comes from Janet about the wedding to Michael, Eleanor and Chidi, they try to stop it and get Derek and Jason mad at each other.

After things were resolved, Janet takes care of Derek and is gone. Later, Eleanor, who still has the tape of her and Chidi sleeping together, finally decides to tell Chidi about it, but he response that he doesn't love her in this iteration.

But after another warming moment for Michael, learning that he's becoming a human being from Eleanor, he gets a surprise visit from Shawn.

"Derek" was another really strong episode. Great performance from the cast and even the writing was so strong and witty and not to mention leaving with a nice surprise visit from Shawn. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch The Good Place Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

New episodes returns Thursday, Jan. 4th at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

Riding the Ethic Express!!: The Good Place "Chapter 19: The Trolley Problem"

As Chidi tries hard to teach Michael ethics, Tahani and Jason seek help about their relationship.

Just as Chidi teaches the trolley problem for the class, Michael isn't getting it at all. Michael puts Chidi on the spot of the trolley problem by putting Chidi, Eleanor and himself into a running train with Chidi making the decision on who to save and not and it lead to more and more. But even though Michael was just torching Chidi once again, but Chidi wasn't playing and shows his real frustration towards Michael by kicking him out of the class.

Michael tells Chidi how that it was "my bad" to Chidi but he wasn't taking it. Even Eleanor tries to fix things but it all came down to Michael showing his human emotional side and really apologize to Chidi and this time really accepted it.

Meanwhile, Tahani and Jason seek therapist help about their relationship and the one person they go to is Janet. After talking to Janet about how much they love each other and grown, Janet suffers from set backs from thumb popping off and floating away to frog coming out of her mouth to even an earthquake in the area. Janet comes to Michael to tell him that she's glitching and asks him how he is.

"The Torrey Problem" was such an amazing episode and probably one of my favorites (again) of this season. William Jackson Harper shines in this episode as Chidi in this episode, showing sides of emotions we never seen him before do. The writing was so so good and solid. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch The Good Place Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

Chicago PD "Politics"/"Monster (Fall Finale)"

"Politics"

The Intelligence Unit goes against the FBI in a case in this episode.

When a powerful congressman found unconscious with a dead young woman in his hotel room, Voight and the team thinks that the congressman might be set up. But here comes when the case gets really interesting as Burgess' new boyfriend, who happens to be a prosecutor for the FBI, makes things rocky for the unit to investigate and causes tension between Burgess, Voight and the boyfriend.

After learning that the congressman was set up and was drugged, they find a suspect, who happens to be on the FBI list for a while and they don't want Voight and his unit to mess it up. But Voight and Burgess play the FBI and get their suspect.

Meanwhile for a few weeks now, Ruzek has been the snitch that's trying to take Voight down under Woods' orders. Threatening to put his sister away to jail, Ruzek is running out of time to get something on Voight and has one last shot to get it.

"Politics" was a real thrilling and good drama. Watching Burgess and Voight's professional relationship on the FBI and Burgess' boyfriend. The writing was solid in the episode. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

"Monster" Fall Finale

In the fall finale, Ruzek makes a tough decision.

As the Intelligence Unit investigates a string of opioid overdose, that includes a daughter of a well respected Chicago Judge and a former officer that worked with Voight.

The deaths lead to an epidemic as it spreads into the family neighborhoods of Chicago. The case leads to one suspect but gets gunned down that happens to be from the judge, whose daughter overdose on opioids. Voight confronted the judge and got a confession, but instead of arresting him, he asked for a favor.

Meanwhile, its not or never for Ruzek to find something on Voight and he got something that'll take Voight down. Will or or won't he is the question and everything seemed to be leaning towards turning a video of Voight taking cash until he tells Woods to go screw himself and drives back to the house. There's where Ruzek and Al talk about the good old days (Four and a half years still seems long) and asked to join him on an intell. But that ride took a detour and drives to an abandon warehouse where, who else, Voight is comes out and walks up to Ruzek.

"Monster" was a very good fall finale episode that thrilling from the beginning to the end with a cliffhanger that's one to remember. I was stunned that Ruzek didn't turn Voight to Woods, thinking that he would put his family before his working family. But now might be paying a big price when coming face to face with Voight. The writing was strong and solid. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago PD as they return tonight at 10/9c on NBC.
