Search and Get: The Blacklist "The Capricorn Killer (No. 19)

With ever so close to catching Tom's killer, Liz gets called to a cold case from her past that has reopened.

After the death of the detective that was helping Liz in the case, an eye witness has come forward and identified the man who did it as Ian. It's just one step close for Liz to bring that man to justice for Tom. But instead of bring the witness back to D.C., she gets assigned to a cold case that asked for her personally to help on.

Known as The Capricorn Killer, it's one of Liz cold case that she has yet to solve and dives back in thinking the the killer has returned. But looking at the evidence of the sword and where it was made, gave that they are messing with a copycat.

As they got close to the suspect, but escapes, Liz believes that the copycat is a former officer and gets help from Red on getting documents of former officers. That would lead to one officer and has Liz follow him til he spotted her and taken her to a cabin in the woods where she meets with her own therapist. She tells Liz how she's been trying to find a way to get her into her side of things, in a way like Reddingotn. But that quite ended when the FBI showed up and she escapes with Liz following her. But Liz let her get away and in hopes that they would work together as part of her network team (like father, like daughter, right?).

In the meantime, Red tries to get to Ian to make an exchange waver, for which Ian wants Red to stop the witness to make it to D.C. Red did that as Aram transfers the man but gets ambushed and taken. Aram feels terrible and tells Liz that he's working to find him til she tells him that the witness is already dead, but really isn't as Red still has him for control over Ian, but mark his words that soon things will get small for him and when he figures out who Ian is, he'll strike.

Of course, with the witness gone Liz is upset and mad at what happen and when she talked to Red about it, she asked him if had anything to do with it. We all know that he did and that soon, maybe in the next episode that she'll figure out and the boiling point between them will go another high point.

This episode was another good one with it building up to where Red and Liz's relationship will go again after this episode but also even though it might be far now, but closer to Ian as well. Anyone thinking that Ian could be a long lost brother of Raymond or Liz's mother? He must be someone that's high on the crime rate to try to take down Reddington. But that scene with Aram and Ian was not only intense but when Aram tells him to back the hell off I jumped off my seat screaming "hell yeah!" Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch The Blacklist Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC.

Jealously Name Calling at Needle Party: Life In Pieces " Graffiti Cute Jewelry Shorts"

From a new job to a jealous family member to even a needle party, this week's episode of Life in Pieces was funny from start to finish.

"Graffiti Cute Jewelry Shots" was another hilarious episode from Greg's new job at a company where he has to work with millennials and tries to fit in with them by writing something terrible about himself. But it worsens when the boss gets fried, and Greg takes his job. Sophia gets jealous of Lark when everyone in the family thinks she's so cute during Easter and tries to get them to think she's pretty, too, but it doesn't turn out how she hoped.

Meanwhile, Joan accidentally gives Jan a necklace that belongs to Heather. The relationship between Jan and Joan is at a perfect point, but Joan asks for the chain back after Heather and Tim guilt her into taking it back. With Matt and Colleen trying IVF, it's hard to use shots, and with Matt not perfect doing them, Colleen asks Tim to give them to her, but their needle party turns into a special relationship of needle pointing.

This episode might be one of my favorites so far. The performance from the cast was good; the writing was good, and the characters developed well. I've enjoyed this episode a lot that I recommend you to watch it where ever you can watch it. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Life In Pieces on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on CBS.

Changing Ways: Champions "Lumps"

When the gym has a declining in female members, Vince has to complete against an all female members gym.

After seeing that there has been a decline in female membership at the gym, Vince learns that another gym has taken most of their members in an all female gym called Lumps. Vince tries to talk with the owner but wouldn't come to terms of what he was asking so that lead to sending Ruby into the gym to try and convince the members to join champions. But it didn't turn out the way they had hope for as Ruby wasn't just a member but also a trainer as well.

Vince learns from Michael what the gym really needs (mainly television that airs SVU reruns). Meanwhile, Michael tries to get out of math, due to his poor grades, but when getting help Dana it just turns to helping her relationship issue.

"Lumps" was a good half hour of fun and entertainment that's filled with laughter throughout the episode. The performance from Holm, Feimster and Totah were amazing as each had their best moments whether it's Vince talking to Michael about math or trying to win back the female members as his gym. Ruby trying to convince but gets convince herself to join Lumps and Michael trying to skip math lessons and helping with his knowledge of relationships. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch Champions Thursdays at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.

Party, No Party: A.P. Bio "We Don't Party"

As Jack tries to win his ex-girlfriend over by helping with her fundraiser, the bio class tries to have a night to remember at the same place where Jack's party is held.

"We Don't Party" was a good episode with good moments and bad moments. Mainly, the thellousyyd moment was mostly between Jack and his ex-girlfriend friend Friewhere IreIi thought that Jack would have the upper hand in out-smarting the doctor with what we've seen throughout the season—even the teachers who came to the party didn't have much to do but comment. Even Mary's meeting a man who happens to have a thing for dressing up toes was weird.

 The good moments came with the AP Bio students having their party at the same place as Jack's at Victor's house. Whether it's watching the students drink and dance to music li, listening to Heather about cutting someone, or Victor comforting his friends about being scared to drink and yet taking a shot.

Also, watching Patton Oswalt's character trying to go to the party, even though he wasn't invited, had little to no effect on the story and was still funny.

Even though this might not be the best episode, it has its funny moments, but you will probably forget this episode after it's done.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch A.P. Bio on Thursdays at 8:30/7:30 on NBC.

#OneChicago Chicago PD "Profiles"/ Chicago Fire "Hiding Not Seeking"

Admit and Be Amazed: Superstore "Amnesty"/"Target"

"Amnesty"

After everyone saw the videotape of Amy and Jonah kissing, the two tried to dispel all the rumors about them, but they worsened things. When they pretend to be in love with one another in front of their coworkers, they accidentally kiss. Kelly, who finds out, gets annoyed about it after it doesn't bother her, but to prove that he isn't in love with Amy, Jonah suggests that he move in with her.

Meanwhile, after Amy and Jonah's video, Glenn and Dina offer amnesty to all the employees to confess any that might have done bad things.  But they didn't expect the entire staff at Cloud 9 to come forward, leaving the store unattended. But it allows Garrett and Cheyenne to take advantage of the subject matter.

When Mateo hears of an offer, it worries him about his undocumented status, and he tries to get a hold of Jeff to see if he has told anyone. After trying to get a hold of him, Jeff shows up and tells Mateo that he has quit his job.

"Amnesty" was another hit episode with excellent writing and character development. From watching Dina and Glenn try to get their coworkers to talk, Mateo trying to get a hold of Jeff or Amy, and Jonah trying to play towards their coworker's jokes and games about their relationship, it was brilliant. The one scene in which I was amazed was when Jonah learned that Amy had a crush on him and didn't even know about it. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"Target"

After announcing his leaving at Cloud 9, the staff throws a goodbye party for Jeff and learns he is leaving to be a manager at Target. Garret asks Glenn, who's mad about Jeff going to Target, for a raise but gets him to believe Jeff had poached him to come to Target. Glenn confronts Jeff, who has no clue, and the two battle it on who can be poached to join their stores. As Glenn and Garrett try to poach the employees from Target, they spot Cheyenne, who tells them that she works part-time at both stores. 

Meanwhile, Dina helps get Amy out on the dating scene on a double date. But when it wasn't working out, probably because he was 20-30 years older than her, she made friends with the Cloud 9 beverage delivery man, who was making a drop-off at the restaurant. Soon, they pretty much clicked when he came back to Cloud 9 and asked Amy out. 

Also, Kelly and Jonah discuss moving in together and trying to lay out their furniture arrangement at the store. Jeff admits to Mateo that he doesn't work at Target but doesn't want his former Cloud 9 co-workers to know he is unemployed. 

"Target" was excellent and hilarious. Take it what you will; even if they try to advertise for Target or not, it did get me to go to the store the next day. I loved the poaching story when  Glenn and Garrett go to Target and find that it's a much better store—even learning about Cheyenne working there. But also, Amy's date, I would say, got better when meeting with that Cloud 9 delivery man, and maybe they could heat things with Jonah, who sees the two at the store. The writing was good, and so was the performance of the cast. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

Expect the Unexpected: Chicago Med "Best Laid Plans"

 

From start to finish, this week's episode of Chicago Med will leave you on the edge of your seat for the ride of your life. 

Whether it's the drama moments of Rhodes and Bekker fighting over who gets the donor's heart: a man receiving transplants for the third time or a family man who's up for his first one, meanwhile, Manning takes on a patient who is taken care by his mother and has a dirty trach tube, and learns that his mother has been trying to let him go. But when Manning tells Halstead about it, he overreacts and gets the police involved. That led to a heated argument between Natalie and Will that will leave #Manstead fans shaking. 

Charles learns from Reese that her dad asked her to be his cosigner on an apartment and help care for him. But when Charles meets with her dad again, he confronts him about his condition and that he'll let the transplant board know he's not fit for a new heart due to his mental disorder. The tables turned when Reese went after Charles for what she had said to her father, which was a lie. But it did give Reese to think, and she decided to say no to her father. 

The surprise moments come when April and Noah treat an older woman with back pain, upset stomach, etc. As things began to worsen with every treatment, it turned out that the 55-year-old woman was pregnant and gave birth to a girl. 

Choi treated a patient who was found in the waiting room and couldn't find anything wrong with her through all the tests. But when given an MRI, it showed a stroke that's from her broken jaw that she got repaired years ago. 

"Best Laid Plans" was one of the best-hour episodes of Chicago Med so far with the cases that the characters took and the push to the limits they are head into, not to mention surprises as well. From the beginning to the end, the episode never stopped being less attractive as it kept you on the edge of your seats. Besides the drama, there were moments like Choi bringing his sister to April's cousin's party, where they all would have a good time dancing the night away. 

The writing was excellent and well-developed, and the characters were as well. The performances from the cast were so good, where it's Donnell, Kuhling, Gehlfuss, DeVitto or DiPillo and Platt. I don't know where Rhodes and Bekker will go as they don't have anything to lose, but Manning and Halstead, with their first big argument, could lead down to something, even after last week's episode for Halstead. Reese's father would be the most problematic for me as the character creeps me out and makes me worry that something will go wrong with someone. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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