Family Bond: Supergirl "Schott Through the Heart"

When a death in Winn's family brings him and his mother closer, revelations are revealed for another family, even the secret that Mon-El tells Kara. 

The gang is back, and what better way to be back than to do a Karaoke Night!!! With the night of fun, things are halted when Winn learns that his father, the Toyman, has died. While at the funeral, Winn's mother shows up hoping to talk and connect with him, but he isn't for it. But when the body of the Toyman was being lowered, it exploded.

Winn's mother tries to bond with Winn even at the usual time, even when Flying Toy Monkeys invade the city and attack the DEO. At a certain point, we learn about Winn's mother and why she hasn't been a part of his life for the last 20 years due to his father threatening to kill him. She also holds some skills, taking the Toy Monkey apart, thinking that maybe she's part of it, but when Winn's mother finds a card in the monkey and takes it, she finds the person who's been doing this, the Toymaker's former employee.

Winn, Kara, Jimmy, and Mon-El come to some obstacles with dangerous toys, from a giant T-Rexand flaming-throwing fire truck to even making Kara into a collector's toy in a special plastic. But Winn saves his mother but goes to his father's former employee and uses what he learned from his father against her, mainly the razor yo-yo to the leg as she was strangely him.

Meanwhile, after hearing that J'onn and his father are moving to a new apartment, Alex gets jealous for not being invited and invites her to dinner. But something is wrong with J'onn's father, as his memory seems problematic. Alex addresses J'onn's father. It tells him that he needs to tell J'onn about it, but instead, hees her out. Alex tells J'onn but only asks his father about it, and as soon as he does, J'onn and Alex share a friendly, fatherly daughter. There have been so many surprising moments in this episode, one being J'onn's father. Still, Mon-El tells Kara about the secret that Imra told him. That the real reason they are here in the 21st Century was to find the Third World Killer and that in the future, he would turn into Blight. And that's not all. Jimmy has been calling Lena for the last couple of days, but when she calls back, she tells him she's been working hard the last few days. But she's been working to help with Samantha's condition at Lexcrop warehouse.

"Schott Through the Heart" was a fantastic episode and one hell of a way to welcome back the show from its two-month hiatus. The Winn and his mother's storyline was brilliant, and Laurie Metcalf was also brilliant as always as Winn's mother. The episode had such a strong character development, and I think it sets the tone for the rest of the season. Do you believe that Lena figures out what's wrong with Samantha?  I don't know about you, but I got chills when hearing the name Blight (for those familiar with Batman Beyond). I can't wait to see where this will be going.  Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Supergirl on Mondays at 8/7c on The CW.

What's your Breaking Point? Chicago PD "Breaking Point"

What is your breaking point? That's the one question that's asked in this episode not just to capture a suspect but also during an investigation for a member of the Intelligence Unit.

When an Alderman is found murdered, Voight and the team try to investigate but gets pressure from the victim's family, due to their political status in the neighborhood. But as their investigation leads to the victim's son's doing, he gets shot in the process and gets Voight to realize that what they have is a drug business problem with local gangs.

The team gets a tip about a shooter and takes a suspect in, but instead of talking he doesn't give a whole lot. Voight and Al think that the suspect is covering for someone, which Voight gives the guy the boot but followed and placed a microphone in his coat and when he calls someone talking about how they are close and informs his cousin Lamar about it.

The both capture both Lamar and his cousin and try to get them to spell. None of them do, Lamar doesn't take the blame and his cousin does but Al and Voight pulls off the question" what's his breaking point?" Which happens to be that the cousin has sickle cell anemia and needs special pain relief but holds it to him to talk or he won't get it, so he talked blamed it on his cousin Lamar.

Meanwhile, Al is being questioned and investigated about how a witness seen him and another woman, Erin, dumping a body at a construction site. Al asked Voight for help with money but he wouldn't help due to the money being a trust fund for his grandson. But Voight gives his word to help him out no matter what, but when it comes down to the end of the day the question that hangs to Al is what's his breaking point? That kid they got to talking was his sickle cell, for Voight it's Erin, but what's Al's?

"Breaking Point" was a very good episode with exciting drama, mainly between Al and Voight as Woods tries to bring down Voight for anything. Hell, even Ruzek can't get anything from Woods, as his talking goat. But the case of the week was good but not as strong like the others, but given the car chase scene was a killer to watch. I can't wait to see where this is going how Voight and Al will handle this and if their partnership/friendship will be in jeopardy. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Chicago PD Wednesdays at 10/9c on NBC.

Making Friends and Celebrate: Champions "Vincemas"

When Vince and Matthew plan on a weekend camping trip for Michael, it may not be the kind of trip for Michael to go.

"Vincemans" was another installment of great character development, writing and performance from he cast. The episode deals with how Michael tries to fit in and make news friends because Vince gives him advice and wants him to be like he was in high school, but it leads to Michael joining an Indian group that aren't really who they seem to be, mainly going clubbing at night for example.

Also with Vince planning to be gone for the weekend, Ruby and the crew plan for a "Vincemas" event but Vince learns about it and makes one hilarious of a scene when coming up behind a partying Ruby about how Vince isn't hear.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

Best Buddies: A.P. Bio "Durbin Crashes"

This episode was one of Patton Oswalt's best ones yet.

As Durbin hears the rest of the teachers talking about how they love a hit sci fi show, that seems to be Midnight, Texas, and wants to ignore any spoilers because he hasn't seen any of the episodes yet due to his wife not ready to watch it with him. After asking Jake for advise about the situation, he takes what Jack agrees and implies it, which leads to him getting kicked out of his house and living staying with Jack.

But when he stays with Jack, it because one weird stay as Durbin has sleeping walking issues and also tries to be Jack's wingman when meeting his former ex high school girlfriend, who happens to be split with her boyfriend. Jack tries to fix it between Durbin and his wife but it turns that they are both weird and lets Durbin stay for another few weeks.

Meanwhile, after getting his students to search Devin with disturbing words to get it trending, the students had a better idea that would help Jack but also get them to learn Biology, which was to find a way to plant murderous evidence on Devin. But after it seems to go well and too much learning, Jack stops it and gets them to use google to search Devin with disturbing words connecting to him.

"Durbin Crashes" was a good episode, mainly watching Oswalt's performance really stood out with good character development and just darn funny. Even the students trying to come up with a way to plant a murder on Devin was pretty funny with the way how they pursued Jack to allow it. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

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

Searching and Confronting: Life In Pieces "Sitter Dating Sister Mattress"

This week's episode of Life In Piece was another full of funny moments.

Whether it's from Greg and Jen finding the perfect babysitter from an email online babysitting app, that quickly lands awkwardly for both the sitter as she's a bit wacky. But Jen and Greg make it awkward as they act like they're picking a first online date that lands them back to watching Lark again. Even Sam and Heather's story of learning about Sam's boyfriend, who seems terrific, turns out that he wasn't too faithful and had more than a few girlfriends.

The two best stories of the episode were Matt learning that Colleen's sister would be a surrogate for their baby but thinks he might have slept with her one night years ago. But when confronted about it, they didn't and announced to the family until Greg realized that he had slept with her more than four times.

And when Joan and John search for a mattress for their bed, it turns into an all-day, trying out and testing each one. Overthinking is more like it, and watching Joan sick and tired of it puts the situation between her and John as something downright funny.

This episode was satisfactory; like other episodes, it made me laugh and connect with related stories. There was good character development, and the performances from the cast were good, too. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

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