Intense: Chicago PD "Trigger"



With bombs threats hitting Chicago, the Intelligence Unit suspects a religious group but a twist even shocks Halstead.

As there are bomb threats going on in Chicago, the Intelligence Unit has Atwater undercover at a religious group. They're trying to get the leader of the group, suspecting that he's the one ordering the bombs. But after a bomb goes off, the intelligence meets with an old friend from Homeland security which ruins Voight's undercover when the Feds take Atwater, thinking that he works with them and torcher him for information.

Halstead takes this case very personal from a point that he served in the army too. After meeting with someone who helped after the bombing; turns out to be the one that set off the bombing. Halstead finally comes around when their suspect is caught on tape buying supplies to make a bomb. Holding the moss hostage with a bomb strapped to his body, Halstead goes in along and reasons with him but takes him down with a shot to the head.

"Trigger" was a really intense and thrilling episode. The story had a really strong character development for Halstead and not to mention another bonding partnership with Hailey too. Jesse Lee Soffer gives another strong performance. There were many moments in this episode from Halstead and Hailey to Voight and the Feds, but the moment between Atwater and the Fed agent torching him and Voight comes into a screaming match with one another. And not to mention Atwater telling that agent that this isn't over that they'll duke it out later.

 Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

Lockdown: Chicago Med "The Poison Inside Us"


As the ED goes on Emergency lockdown, will chaos rule? Here's a recap of Chicago Med.

After saying goodbye to Emily and Bernie, Ethan deals with a patient who requested that he see him. But it turns out that he wasn't a patient but a widower of a patient who died under Ethan's care. Demanding answers from Ethan or will release a canister of an unknown substance. As Ethan tells him what happened with his wife, it just isn't enough, and he opens the canister, but as Ethan dives on him, it is too late.

The ED goes on an emergency bypass lockdown. Not only have patients moved to the ambulance bay, but Conner and Ava deal with a patient in the ED OR; Natalie and Charlies have to perform an emergency c-section on a bipolar patient. Will is feeling the pressure from the FBI, and Jay and April spring to the moment to save Ethan.

With the lockdown, Conner decides to keep his patient in his ED OR with Ava. When the patient's spleen wasn't healing independently, Conner decided to perform surgery.  But with no blood to transfuse, Ava gives her own to the patient to help Conner take the spleen out. Just as Ava is about to faint, he takes the spleen out and pulls the transfuser out of Ava. 

As Natalie and Dr. Charles treat a bipolar and pregnant patient and take her up to OB, they get stuck on the rehab floor that wasn't done remodeling. With the lockdown and no signal to make a call, Charles advises Natalie to perform a C-Section. But Natalie gets worried and tells Charlie they need to find someone or get to someone fast. That's when he pulls the old "I'm on the phone" trick on her and as she performs the C-Section. There were some difficulties, but both mother and baby were fine.

After getting everyone out of the ED, Ethan becomes a victim of the toxic substance as he collapses. With both the suspect and Ethan experiencing the same symptoms, they only had one medicine that could help with their breathing. With the suspect getting treatment over Ethan, April returns to the ED for the same treatment. But when the suspect dies, April thinks that Ethan could be next til Fire and PD learn what the substance is: cyanide. 

Will gets pressure from the Feds when he gets Ray to come to Med to get an MRI to rule out a stroke. Even Jay doesn't give any comfort advice. After the lockdown was over and Ray and his kids walked out, Will's abdominal pain worsened, and throwing up blood became an ulcer. Natalie treats him and asks what's happening, but he won't admit it.

As Ava recovers, she admits to Conner that she was the one who got his father to be the donor. But she acknowledged that she hadn't lost him, and soon after, they finally kissed. As Ethan will make a full recovery, April makes her way to see him until she sees him with his ex-girlfriend, Vicki, who happens to still be on his emergency contact list.

"The Poison Inside Us" was like a mini-crossover episode with many intense moments. The writing of this episode was strong and had solid character development. I'm finally happy for Ava and Conner for finally kissing. I don't think Ethan and Vicki are back together after this moment, but I'm worried about Natalie and Will; if Will doesn't tell her what's happening, it will bite him in the butt. And I don't want #Manstead to end. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Med Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC.

"Driver's Eddie" was a good episode that had some humorist moments. As much as I enjoyed the bonding between Eddie and Louis on driving, I was enjoying more of the Emery, Evan and Grandma story in this episode. Just watching Even worried why his brother and grandmother won't involve him in their spending time together. Also mentioning Rush Hour in this episode was good and made the ending quite hilarious on talking about the film. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.
