"Played By My Rules"

Dr. Charles struggles to convince Dr. Choi that surgery isn't always the answer. Dr. Rohodes finds himself in hot water with Goodwin when he disobeys her direct order.

I'm thinking that with what Dr. Choi went through last week that needs an operation probably chemical burns or something. Rhodes might be pissed off at Goodwin from learning last week about his dad being the money donor for his hybrid OR. And for once can Will tell Natalie what is going on. It's literally freaking killing me that he's not telling her what's really going on.

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

Grievance in Pain: Chicago Fire "What Will Define You"

Image result for chicago fire what will define you



As preparation for Benny's funeral is underway, the hunt is on for one of his most priceless medals. Here's a recap of the Chicago Fire.

As Severide and his mother pack up Benny's things, they try to find one of Benny's most priceless medals that he wants to have in his casket. Stella takes the challenge as she's trying to help him. Getting Casey, Mouch, Hermann, and Otis to help her, they meet with all of Benny's ex-girlfriends, which keeps the show light and humorful. They even meet with Katie's mother but with no luck either.
But when Katie visited. she brought joy to everyone at 51 when she brought the medal they were searching for. Even she and Otis catch up and are happy with who they are within their relationship department.

Severide has been trying to get his dad the proper send-off. With the CFD not signing for a parade on his behalf, Boden tries to get some of the guys who knew Benny to do something special. Severide, who's in pain, hides his emotions. After talking with his mother, things settled things down until the funeral. Severide gives his speech by telling a funny story to a heroic tale. There were times to laugh and hard not to get teary. But when walking the casket out of the church, a parade of firefighters lined up from the four corners of the street and gave one hell of a proper send-off that would make you grab the tissues.

"What Will Define You" was one of this season's most decisive episodes. They balanced the episode perfectly with humor and emotions. Even bringing Katie was a real treat. I couldn't believe how long it had been. With what was happening with Stella and Kelly, Brett had an excellent storyline in this episode, too, trying to figure out if she should report the driver using a cell phone in an accident. As much as I enjoyed that, too, it seemed to be an underachiever. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Fire on Wednesdays at 9/8c on NBC.


BFFs with Different Styles: Fresh Off The Boat "Mo' Chinese Mo' Problems"




When Jessica and Louis learn that there's another Chinese couple. But will they be friends with them for long? Here's a recap.

As Evan is doing a census on the neighborhood, he gets a surprise of his life and rushes to tell Jessica and Louis about it.  Learning of another Chinese couple living in their neighborhood; they stalked them to figure out how to greet them in the best friendly way. After greeting them, they hang out and soon became the best of friends.

They bonded with them so well that Louis gets into football and Jessica changes her mind about brunch. She even calls her friend the Chinese Oprah as she calls herself her Chinese Gayle. She even gets parenting advice from her too.

But with all the enjoyments of them, they seem to find a loophole. Jessica learns that their son is a cab driver who still lives with them even if he did go to Harvard on a full scholarship in arts.  But Jessica wasn't too pleased with her son and she leaves on different terms. Later they forgave when Jessica comes up with an idea of her friend's son to fix the painting at the school and became BFFs again.

Louis, on the other hand, gets jealous when his friend becomes friends with Marvin. After talking about football the two started talking about sausages and even leading to making their own together. Louis confronts them about it and learns that Marvin was jealous of him thinking that he was going to leave him hanging. And they three become the BFFs too.

Evan gets played when his brothers try to use his census to hunt for a pool to use. But he gives them a lesson they would never forget; even have them do the walk of shame in a way too.

"Mo' Chinese Mo" Problems" was a hilarious episode. Even with the hype of the news of the guest stars in this episode, it was still worth watching. Ming-Na Wen and Reggie Lee are amazing and I hope they would come back from time to time as they really click with one another. The writing was strong as was the character development too. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Fresh Off the Boat Fridays at 8/7c on ABC.

Own Decision: The Good Place "Chapter 34: The Worst Possible Use of Free Will"


Will Eleanor come to her senses that she's capable of loving someone? Here's a recap of this week's episode of The Good Place.

Michael informs Eleanor about how, during the many reboots, he and Chidi were always in love. Stopping at the library, Michael uses Janet's device to show Eleanor the many, many reboots, from how Eleanor and Chidi grew closer and closer that they fell in love. But what Eleanor sees is that everything in those reboots was all determinism and not free will.


Michael proves that falling in love with Chidi was of their own free will. But it becomes clear from Michael that Eleanor is afraid of being in a relationship. After catching up with the group at the airport, she realizes that and looks at Chidi as they smile at one another.

When Eleanor apologizes to Michael, he figures out something that could get people to rack up points to get into a good place, thinking that they are the only ones in the world who know about the afterlife until Shawn and his team invite a portal to walk on Earth. Holy Shirt! 

"The Worst Possible Use of Free Will" was once again on my list of favorite episodes. It depicts the meaning of determinism and free will well and clearly in this episode. Also, there were so many moments to return to; I want to see Reboot 444.

Not only does Kristen Bell give another outstanding performance in this episode, but her chemistry with Ted Danson only proves that they are a two-of-a-kind comedy duo. Plus, after all that's been happening this week, this episode put me in a good place with laughter and love.

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

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

A Mother's Instinct: Superstore "Maternity Leave"


As Amy returns to Cloud 9, Jonah and Garrett interview for a new employee. Here's a recap of last night's episode of Superstore.

Just two days after Amy gave birth, she's home and trying to put the baby down for a nap. But when Glenn calls it's not just to see how she's doing. Apparently, she doesn't have any maternity leave days because of her absence. Back at work, Amy was not a happy camper as she deals with a lot of crap; from Glenn trying to cheer her up to dealing with Mateo and Cheyenne's thoughts on her baby boy's name. But she bonded with Sayid as he prays and she pumps.

Meanwhile, Garrett and Jonah help Glenn interview and hire a new employee. Dealing with some crazy candidates, they finally picked one that seemed to be funny, Penny (played by Eden Sher). But after a few hours with Penny, Garrett and Jonah aren't having too much fun with her as she grows to be annoying with her impressions and funny bits. Soon another candidate, Lonnie, comes by late to hand in his resume and after a few minutes with him, they decide to let go of Penny and hire Lonnie. After seeing Lonnie working, he asked to take a bathroom break and goes right in the middle of the store.

"Maternity Leave" was an outstanding episode. It's another strong written and performed from this ensemble cast. But America Ferrera gives her best performance when Amy sticks it to Glenn about how she's been feeling after having a baby and dealing to come back to work. Also, Eden Sher steals the episode as goofy and awkward Penny. I kind of wish she would stay to work at Cloud 9, but she wouldn't get a whole lot of work done. 

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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