To Sell or Not: A.P. Bio "Selling Out"

As Jack's book is done, will it get the attention from book companies or will he have to change his whole idea?

Just as Jack is done with his book about death, he gets a call from Miles and offered to ship his book idea to his publishers. But when Jack gets letters from the publishers, they don't like it and makes a call to Miles to plea his case but when Miles says that they liked his idea for a book about feel-good philosophy and the money Jack was in.

As Jack comes with ideas that would make people feel good, he gets his inspiration from Helen and gets her to tell all of her wise advise from "If you can come out of the womb, you can get out of anything" to "high fives and low fives are better than no fives" and "if you step on a berry, you just made jam." But when his students take a look at it they feel that Jack is a sell out to what he believes.

As Jack gives his idea to the publishers, things don't go that well and tells them that his first book idea was better than the feel good junk. So no book deal at all but the students read his first book and gave well reviews to him and started discussing about the book.

Meanwhile, Principle Durbin accidentally gets caught into a firestorm when confronting about who is Mary's Emergency Contact is and it gets heated for Stef and Mary.

"Selling Out" was a good episode from Jack's book story but the emergency contact was good but it wasn't as strong. The performance from Paula Pell was outstanding in this episode as Helen. Not to mention Glenn Howerton's performance as well and the development of the character was good. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

Stand By Their Partners Chicago PD "Ghosts"

When a drug deal goes wrong, a blast from the past comes to one of the Intelligence Unit member.

When a drug deal goes wrong, Upton sees someone that she had worked with before, who happens to be working with one of the biggest case before joining the Unit. She decides to take on and bring her undercover character, Kelly, back from hiding and try to make a deal with the top drug boss, Booth, but it gets pretty intense when Booth questions her and Halstead to make sure they aren't lying.

We learn the reason why she left the case when Halstead confronts her about it with photos of her beat up from Booth. She wants to take him down no matter if Voight told them to shut it down or not and does and goes on with the plan. As the plan comes together, Booth takes advantage on Upton in front of Halstead but things get dicey when Booth's nephew sees Halstead about to grab something. Upton breaks away from Booth and chases after him. As Booth takes her to town, she finally gets the chances to beat the crap out of him and almost killing him, but Halstead stops her just in time.

With the the Unit at Molly's to celebrate, Upton stays home and gets a visit from Halstead, who is there for her in a time of need. She tells Halstead that her partner that Booth killed was someone she was very, very close with and the two drink their sorrows.

"Ghosts" was such a strong, intense, thrilling and such well developed character for Hailey Upton. This was Tracy Spiridakos best performance since joining the show as it gave such an emotional and intense background story of her past. Not to mention Jesse Lee Soffer was amazing in this episode too. This was definitely the perfect #Upstead episode. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

CPD will be off for the next couple of weeks.

Unforgettable: Chicago Med "Born This Way"

This week's episode of Chicago Med was indeed an unforgettable one.

Let's face it: we don't know where this relationship between Rhodes and Bekker is going, and quite frankly, I would like to see where this is going. There might be something there, some spark ever since then they've been working together. After their one night, their relationship takes a test when one of Rhodes' patients comes in in need of a lung transplant. Bekker questions Rhodes about his decisions for the patient, but things get worse with each step he takes. But that all changes when Bekker and Rhodes ask the ECMO and find out that there is a clot in the machine and soon takes him to the OR for his lung transplant. But their relationship takes a bit of a turn when Bekker breaks it off with him.

After pulling a night shift, Ethan and Natalie go beyond the work in the hospital to help treat a pregnant homeless teen who's in labor and running a fever. But when the teen doesn't want to go to the ER because DCFS will put her back into the system, Ethan takes the chance and helps deliver the baby outside in the cold. As the delivery takes a drastic turn, the baby is born safe, but the teen, who still doesn't want to go to Med, makes the hardest decision to give her baby up.

Dr. Charles, who's been in between the latest reunion of Sarah and her father, sees that Sarah's father might be pulling something over her with his health condition. Looking at his brain scan and getting a second opinion from Nero, it seems that Sarah's father has a bit of a psychopathic mind. He confronts him in a session and asks him to tell Sarah the truth about his health and what he wants her to do to help. But when he does, it seems that Sarah's dad only told her half of the truth, which puts Charles in a tight position.

Halstead and April treat a curable cancer patient; if caught early, he could beat it. But in this case, the patient doesn't want anything to do with treatment and wants to die because he's a pedophile. With April not wanting to help the guy, Halstead tries his best to help him, even if it's not what the patient wants. With no hold from Reese, the patient's health takes a turn for the worse, and Halstead, who tries to convince the man to let him help, follows his wishes and holds his hand til the end.

When the hospital is in a lawsuit from a patient who says that the EMT passed him because he had no insurance, he claims it was Maggie's idea. When Goodwin confronts her, they pull the EMT, who made the statement that it was Maggie's idea, and when they face him, it all makes sense with the pizza room situation. The pizza room is for the EMT to bring in the better patients with the best insurance so the hospital can get paid. Goodwin decides to shut it down, but the hospital board won't accept it as it costs too much money.

"Born This Way" was an excellent one-hour episode with good writing and character development. The performance from the cast was terrific, including Gehifuss, Brian Tee, Donnell, and Norma Kuhling, who might have an excellent breakout performance as her character opens up to help the parents of a boy in need of a lung transplant help with guidance. I don't know about you, but I want to see where this Rhodes/Bekker thing is going, even if she breaks off with him at the end. What would be the nickname for these two? I thought that the Halstead story was chilling and so brilliantly written. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

The Gang is Back! Timeless "The War to End Al Wars" Season Premiere

It's the season premiere that we've all been waiting! Timeless is back and premiere doesn't disappoint let don't let off on the gas.

When we jump into season 2, Mason Industries has been bombed almost leaving Wyatt and Rufus in the time machine in danger, but they do survive thanks to Agent Christopher, who relocates them to an abandoned military compound. Wyatt wants to look for Lucy, thinking that she's alive while Christopher doesn't want him to get his hopes too high. But Lucy is alive and with her mother, who we learned in the season finale that she's with Rittenhouse.

After the bombing, we jump six weeks later finding Lucy with Carol and Emma traveling to the Battle of Saint-Miihel, France in 1918 to find an injured solider, Nicholas Keynes and bring him back to 2018. But Emma puts Lucy in a tight position when she wants her to murder Keynes' squad-mate, who's was asking way too many questions seeing things being done.

While repairing the Lifeboat, Wyatt and Rufus find where the Mothership and get there to rescue Lucy and when they get there, they find that she's trying to sabotaged Carol's mission. But in the meantime, Wyatt and Rufus comes in between a member of Rittenhouse and after kicking some butt, find a copy of Keynes's 1910 Rittenhouse time travel manifesto from a modem Rittenhouse agent that's fully integrated into the past.

While in the present, Mason, who feels useless, tries to develop an algorithm to track the Mothership's movement and Jiya's illness continues to get worsen.

To help save Keynes, Lucy gets Marie Curie and Irene Joliot-Curie, who using a "petite Curie" radiography unit (an x ray). But when they left and discover the Mothership, Emma threatens to kill them. Lucy stops her and comes in between them, but Emma would kill all three if Wyatt and Rufus didn't get there in time but with an exchange. With the Curies fleeing, Emma, Carol and Keynes left while Lucy, Wyatt and Rufus are back together and get back to 2018. 

Back in the present, looking at the manifesto, Wyatt thinks that Rittenhouse had placed sleeper agents throughout history thinking that Emma, for example, was placed there not by accident but to get things moving. Meanwhile, Carol wakes up Keynes, who we learn is her grandfather. And in order to get help, Christoper goes to the one person who knows what Rittenhouse will do next, Flynn. But he will only talk to Lucy about all of this mess.

The season premiere opened up like a fright train that was't going to stop for one second. The episode really sets the series in an amazing direction for these characters and some mind blowing moments, with Keynes being the great grandfather of Lucy. But the moments for me have to be watching Lucy reunite with Wyatt and Rufus for the firs time since leaving with her mother and the almost kiss moment between her and Wyatt was nothing but intense moment. Just like last season, I'm all in for this season with where this show will be going. Good character development and the writing was good as well. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Timeless Sundays at 10/9c on NBC.

"I Think I'm Gonna Tolerate it Here" is another brilliant half hour comedy of humor and heart. From the great writing, strong character development, the performance from the cast members was just amazing, mostly Fortune Feimster as Ruby shines in this episode. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Back Shamming and Father Issues: A.P. Bio "Freakin' Enamored"

From back shamming of an art piece that leads to protest to a teacher trying to hook up with his student's mother. Here's a look at this week's A.P. Bio.

After failing to get a date in the town and finding out that his enemy is dating Lisa Loeb, Jack asked his students for a plan but gets a surprise when he sees that his students have brought their parents for Parent Day. After calming them down and telling how everyone of their kids is getting an A and given some much feed back, Devin's mother comes in late and gets Jack's attention from start. Quickly, Jack and Devin's mother hit it off quick and comes over for dinner at her place.

Just as when the dinner was going good, Devin shows up and ruins it for Jack. The next day, Jack takes back Devin's A and turns it into an F and gets the class discussing about dating Devin's mother. After doing pros and cons, Jack decides to date Devin's mother and help him build a rocket. But the truth comes out when Devin's hopes of his real dad would come over and Jack blurs out about what he wanted to do with his mother and both of them tell him to "get!"

Meanwhile, during the Parents Day, parents had concern about Mary's bareback sketch showing in school and Principle Ralph took it down. That caused the teachers and students to fight for bare back rights and all art. It goes so far that the students were hitting off a Ralph look a like pinata. Ralph did change his mind and gets quite openly about Mary's art, but she took it away from him.

The next day, Jack learns that he and Devin aren't that different when it comes to their dads, as both of them hate them, while the others in their class love theirs. Jack decides to help him out again with the father-son rocket but this time they would shoot a golf ball at their rockets but instead lands on one of the kids and they both ran before anyone would see.

"Freakin' Enamored" was a very well written that had some well developed characters. The performances from Howerton, Oswalt, Jacob McCarthy, Arm and Mary Sohn were amazing and hilarious. Not to mention Lisa Loeb and Erin Hayes' guest appearance on the show as Miles' new girlfriend and Devin's mother.I couldn't get enough of the Parents Day one on one meeting with Jack, which was amazing especially watching Heather and her parents and Sarika and her mother.  Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

Still the Best Show on TV: Superstore Season 3 (Episodes 8-14)

If you're not watching Superstore Thursday nights on NBC, you're missing out on a lot of fun and smart comedy. Here's a catch up of the season so far (mainly episodes 8-14).

Amy has been trying to live in the moment and prove that her post-divorce isn't dragging her down. She tries to prove that it's easy to make a viral video which didn't help Cloud 9 with he many rats that could be seen in one video. Even trying to throw a Golden Globes party but it didn't go well and had to enlist both Dina and Jonah's help when her barbecue doesn't go well.

In the meantime, Glenn and his wife decide to have a baby of their own, but later learn that she can't conceive. So they look for a surrogate and when Glenn discuses with Cheyenne about it, she offered to do it. That changed when Glenn realized that she really was doing it out of kindness but not the right reasons. But in the end Dina agrees to be Glenn's surrogate.

Also, Mateo, who's been dealing with his undocumented status throughout the season, faces his biggest challenge yet when Jeff offers him money in exchange for not suing the store. While things with Cheyenne and her mother have been rocky, they grow closer with the help from Amy.

Kelly and Jonah have been quite the item during this part of the season, making Amy a bit jealous over their relationship. But it turns out that Amy and Jonah's relationship has been growing under the radar for their coworkers and to them as well as Jonah helps Amy secure a copy of a video game that she enjoyed. But when Dina sees what's going between them and keeps it a secret but that secret is out when Dina tries to show a video of the security camera that caught the two at the end of season 2 kissing. 

Season 3 of Superstore has been a home run so far with great ensemble cast performance and the  writing has never been stronger than before. America Ferrera has been amazing this season with her performance as Amy and not to mention got to directed "Video Game Release" was really good. So far he Jonah and Amy relationship has been boiling over to this point and I can't wait to see after last week's episode will take in tonight's new episode. Overall, I give the show so far a 9/10.

You can catch Superstore Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC.
