Love is a Funny Thing: Chicago Med "Death Do Us Part" Fall Finale

This week's fall finale of Chicago Med not only left us with intense drama but also a shocking final moment that would leave us stunned. Here's a recap!

On his wedding day, as Will gets ready and gets fitted for his tux, he gets stopped by Ray's son asking to check up on him. There, he sees that Ray is not okay and tells him he must go to the hospital. But that was until another of Ray's sons found the device that Will had left, and healthy things intensified. As Will is held captive, Ray collapses, and Will goes from looking like James Bond to MacGyever in 20 minutes as he performs brain surgery to stop the leak in Ray's brain. The operation was successful, and later taken to the hospital. Will stayed with a gun to his head. More later.

Meanwhile, at Med, Ethan and April treat a pregnant woman about to give birth, but the problem comes when the baby wants to be born butt first. Ethan called for an emergency c-section, but the baby was delivered naturally, and it turned out that the baby would not live. The parents weren't pleased with the outcome and decided to leave the baby before it died. April decides to stay with the child while Ethan and Viki attend the wedding.

Charles deals with a strange case when a husband is brought in after he is attacked by his wife, who thinks that he isn't her husband. Charles talks with the wife, and from his understanding, she's got a tumor in the brain and takes scientific drugs to help it stop growing, but the side effects are what's causing her to attack her husband. Charles gives her another drug, which soon causes even more of a problem. But before taking her off of that, she asked for surgery to take out the tumor. They get stopped from doing it by her husband, who believes that she doesn't want it.

Conner and Ava perform surgery on a mystery man who is an informant for the FBI and Jay. Jay comes into the hospital and asks Conner for help because that guy may know where Will is being held. Conner decides to stop the surgery and move him up to the surgical floor and asks him questions, but soon, he goes into cardiac arrest and dies. But did he give the location of where Will could be?

While in panic mode, Natalie is worried about where Will could be and thinks that he may be having second thoughts. After calling and calling him, she finally gets word from Maggie, who got a call from Jay that he's outside the church. She rushes out there to see Will covered in blood from the shot that Jay took to save his life, but he had to leave fast to be placed in the witness protection from Ray and his gang. He hugs her and tells her he loves her as he leaves her.

"Death Do Us Part" was an intense, high-driven fall finale episode. There was everything that you would want, from a mystery illness to an extreme and emotional story of the baby born only to die with no parents except April being there. I would hope that moment would bring April and Ethan close together. But the man-driven moment was Natalie and Will and the shocking moment that there won't be a wedding and that Will is gone. Also, does anyone think that Goodwin and Charles should hook up? Anyway, the writing and performance from this episode were excellent and strong. I can't wait for the next episode in the new year. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Med when they return on Wednesday, Jan. 9th, at 8/7c on NBC.

Feelings Vs. Ethics: The Good Place "Chapter 36: Janet(s)" Fall Finale

HOLY MOTHERFORKING SHIRT BALLS!!!!

Week after week, The Good Place has been delivering outstanding episodes, and when you thought the previous one couldn't be topped....think again. Here's a recap!

The episode follows after Janet takes Eleanor and the gang into her void. But there's a slight problem, as Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, and Jason are all Janets. At least Janet gave them their clothes to tell who's who. 

Michael and Janet go to the accountant's office to see if The Bad Place messed with the numbers system of getting into The Good Place. Looking up Doug's records, it seemed that everything for him was good until they saw that his age went against him. This upsets Michael, and he asks about the last time someone made it to The Good Place....over 500 years ago. 

Meanwhile, things are going so well inside of Janet until Eleanor tries to talk to Chidi about their relationship, and he tries to deny it. But soon, arguing and popping things up (like Janet would do) causes trouble for Janet that could break her. Eleanor soon has an identity disorder and changes into a different person. But as Chidi tries to make Eleanor remember who she is, he soon decides to kiss her, and things turn out okay, and everyone turns back to their rightful bodies. 

Soon, Janet starts to throw Eleanor and others out of her, and the alarm goes off because they are most wanted. Michael decides to fix the system by stealing Doug's file and getting everyone to what is finally The Good Place for now. 

"Janet(s)" is another outstanding, hilarious episode. After watching the first five minutes of the episode, I believe that D'Arcy Cadren deserves an Emmy nomination and an Emmy for her performance and every other award out there!!! Mind-blowing? YES! Hilarious? HELL YEAH!! The writing was so strong and clever. Cadren deserves to be the Performance of the Week. 

Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.

You can catch The Good Place when they return in the new year on Thursday, Jan. 10, at 9:30/8:30 on NBC. Only three episodes are left, and I can not wait to see what happens next.

Two Different Sides: Supergirl "Bunker Hill"

Things take a darker turn in this week's episode. Here's a recap!

It seems that Nia's dreams are what keeping her awake as what she sees have scared her. One of them happens to be of Agent Liberty pointing a gun towards her. James and Kara notice the amounts of coffee she's carrying and Nia getting scared of a photo of Liberty. Kara talks to her and decides to bring Brainy in; after he tells her and Alex who Nia really is in the future.

Brainy helps Nia of what she sees in her dreams and sees Ben Lockwood's wife in trouble. She's closer to the truth; as Manchester pays a visit to Ben Lockwood. As Kara, Nia, and Brainy pay a visit to Collinwood; they get followed. Kara tries to talk with them, but they take them both to Lockwood steel planet. There Nia saves Brainy and Kara and all three members get taken down.

Kara sees the sign of the building "Lockwood"; calls Alex to tell her that she believes Ben Lockwood is Agent Liberty. Alex tricks one of Liberty's followers and confirms its Lockwood. Kara races to Lockwood's house was too late as Manchester and Lockwood have left and were heading to the steel planet. There Manchester puts a hold on Lockwood but traps Kara too. That was until Lockwood's wife holds him and Nia knocks him out with the 20-pound hook swung to him.
Lockwood and Manchester were taken to prison; but not before Ben starting another conversation that soon builds to the press calling him a human right activist. It even gets President Baker siding with the public ask Supergirl to reveal her identity, but she declined and is relieved of her duties.  
"Bunker Hill" was a strong and intense episode to be the fall finale. It opens up the possibility of what's in store when the show comes back in January.  There were moments to enjoy like Brainy and Nia scenes were great and along with them and Kara there just seems to be a real on-screen chemistry there. With Kara not working with Alex and the DEO, maybe she'll team up with J'onn and his PI team. They do work together. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Supergirl next week in the three show crossover event "Elseworld" starting Sunday at 8/7c with The Flash, Arrow on Monday at 8/7c and Supergirl Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW.

Choices: Supergirl "Rather The Fallen Angel

Manchester and Supergirl team up, what could possibly go wrong? Here's a recap!

"Rather the Fallen Angel" was a good episode, yet it had some lack in some ways. The lack in some ways was Lena and Adam storyline whether or no that Lean will go through with the testing on Adam as the human subject. And by the end, I couldn't get whether if Adam made progress or not in the testing, but from the look from Lena, it looks like it didn't go well. And her relationship with James seems to be not going well either.

Meanwhile, James makes the decision to join Agent of Liberty's group.  It leads to James being forced to do something he doesn't. But when Manchester and Kara team up to hunt Liberty down; it turned out that Manchester double crossed Kara and J'onn; turning her into Liberty.  Kara does escape and gets not only help from James but Manchester too.

J'onn meets with Manchester and finally, see what he truly is; that he would go to the ends of the earth to find the man that killed his wife. J'onn seemed to have failed Kara and apologizes to her.
Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

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

Fighting Words: Supergirl "Call to Action"

It's Thanksgiving and it seems that Child of Liberty are gonna pull a purge. Will Kara and gang stop them? Here's a recap!

With it being Thanksgiving, the Children of Liberty pull of their own way of the purge by stalking houses of where aliens live and torcher them. After Kara and Manchester stopped a group, Col. Haley orders Alex and Kara to stop investigating it; they did it anyway.

Meanwhile, Lena booked James to a around table discussion TV show; but he doesn't want to do because of his planned hangout with one of the Children of Liberty. It doesn't sit well with Lena and well James didn't go and instead had Kara go on there and discuss with Lockwood. Kara makes a perfectly good argument til Lockwood makes one last statement that got the audience buzzing.

As everyone comes for Kara's apartment for Thanksgiving, they discuss the agenda of Children of Liberty until Brainy brings out one of their mask that happens to have a vision sensor so they know which house to go to. Then everyone leaves to stop the groups even getting help from a dragon.
After his television appearance, Lockwood seems to have a nice Thanksgiving til he gets a call from the television host asking if he would like to host his own TV show. He accepts.

After things calm down, Haley tells Alex and Kara that she'll have the DEO investigate the Children of liberty. But meantime, Lena's Phase II seemed to go wrong with testing a heart that has tumors. But when Lena was trying to destroy the third heart, it wouldn't and moved to the next step: human testing.

Everyone becomes worried about Nia's sleeping too much and asked her about it. She admits that she has narcolepsy but wouldn't accept help from Kara or her mother.  Manchester captures one of the Liberty members and tries to get information. But James gets a call from the guy he was hanging out with and told him he could get him in to see the boss. But he had to be kidnapped to do it.

"Call to Action" was a good episode. It had some good moments that stood out from Lena and James fighting about their different opinions and he not wanting to do the television thing. Brainy and Nia meeting again for Thanksgiving. The dragon that appeared to protect that kid was an amazing and nice reference to Harry Potter. I would be very worried about Nia but I think we'll know more about her in the coming episodes. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

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