When Louis and Jessica have dinner with Amy Chestnut, she gives Louis a Dear John letter from her husband Matt. It said that he's left for another job at Dollywood. This gets Louis to think over his employees that have gone from his restaurant and decides to bring Eddie onboard to work with him. But Eddie still has a job at the mattress store and turns him down.

When Eddie gets a promotion, it doesn't turn out the way he had hoped. To make things even worst for him, when he comes back to work with his father. But he sees that his father already has someone, Trent to work. Eddie tries to get Trent to resign from the job and decides to give him a push when he causes a misprint in a coupon for buy a soda get a free steak. It causes an uproar and Louis had to let go of Trent. After Louis learns the truth from Eddie and not only rehires Trent back but promotes Eddie.

After dinner with Amy, Jessica's plan to take over the school gets dethrone when she learns that she has to have a master's degree. But when Amy comes and demands her son's transfer papers now, Jessica realizes that Amy's the PTA president and that she could be her replacement. To be Amy's replacement, Jessica helps her out with things like selling furniture and telling her son that they moving in the nicest way.

Evan learns about being funny, something that he's not quite known for. He tries the same joke over and over with Emery until he starts learning from Grandma and pulls off the old step on the rake routine. It worked on Emery and even on Louis too.

"Where Hava All the Cattleman Gone?" was a good episode. Angela Kinsey brought a little bit of her "Office" character to the show, which was hilarious. Kinsey and Constance Wu play well off each other in this episode. Also, I couldn't get the song "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" out of my head after watching this episode. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

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

Chasing Your Heart: Chicago Fire "Always a Catch" Fall Finale

The fall finale of Chicago Fire is not only a hyperdrive of drama but also has a cliffhanger for the other Chicago shows. Here's a recap!

The episode started as usual: he laughed, and even Bodens showed his love for Tuesday the dog. That was until Cruz was on the phone with Chloe, who was about to get donuts for the crew, and she got into an accident on the highway. When 51 gets there, it's probably one of the most significant pileup accidents since Chicago Med season two's "Cold Front" episode.

Getting there, Cruz could only search for Chloe. Moving down from vehicle to vehicle, he finally sees her badly hurt. After the team gets her out and into the Med chopper, Cruz and the team get to Med as fast as they can, and the only thing they can do is wait. Cruz informs Chloe's parents about her condition at Med and plays the waiting game. Fast-forwarding: Chloe wakes up and kisses Cruz, but Cruz learns from Chloe's mother that he's been the best thing for her for a long time.

Severide and Kidd's relationship could be in trouble even before they could put a year on it. Kidd learns from Tyler that Severide has been jealous of having him around her. She confronts Severide about it and responds that he's not, but she has known Severide for a long time, and he has a history of jealousy. But this time, he's not looking out for her, as it's Tyler trying to win Kidd back for him. The episode leaves Severide eating pizza while Kidd hangs out with Tyler at the bar.

After a heroic call and switching vehicles to get a child to Med, Foster meets with a familiar face. Foster gets an opportunity to go back and become a doctor, but after talking with Boden, she decides to stay as a paramedic because she believes that's what she should do. Cheers to that!

After seeing Cruz's relationship with Chloe, Brett decides to go for it with Kyle and asks him for dinner. When she asked him, his response was yes.

Casey and Namoi take their relationship to a new level. After interviewing the company's family accused of those trailer home fires and receiving threats, Namoi makes a counterpoint threat and leaves with Casey excitedly. Later, Casey moves their relationship to the next level. After they fall asleep, Casey wakes up and sees a fire in the apartment that seems to come from the scene from the Super Bowl episode of This Is Us. But it leaves us with a cliffhanger to hang on to til January.

"Always a Catch" was an exciting, character development-driven episode. It felt like a movie-sized hour episode that held nothing back for viewers to see good and bad things. The pileup scene gave me chills from the crossover event early this season. This will be the end for Kidd and Severide. Kidd will realize that Tyler has been messing with them. But I also believe if she doesn't know it, Severide will do something. The happy moments go to Brett, Cruz, Chloe, and Foster. Not to mention Boden and Tuesday. As much as I would love to slap Casey for taking his relationship to a new level so quickly. I'm slightly okay with it. But leaving them in that situation of trapped fire, will one of them live? I can't wait for January.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

In a Dark Place with a Dark Turn: Chicago PD "Descent" Fall Finale

The fall finale of Chicago PD was powerful but left us with a shocking ending that no one saw coming. Here's a recap!

Antonio's addiction to pain killers becomes a problem when he not only is at a drug house but is caught by his team. But he gives the team an excuse that he got a tip from one of his CI about the place and decided to investigate. It might have worked for a while til Voight gets a suspicion on his behavior. Antonio gets caught by Voight when he buys drugs and tells him to get clean. But as Antonio packs things up, he gets a call from the drug dealer's brother that he had kidnapped his daughter and demands his brother be released.

The team comes together not only for Antonio's problem but to find his daughter and hunts down the kidnapper. As they finally found Antonio's daughter, they go after her kidnapper, who disappeared. Voight goes hard on the suspect's brother who tells him that he goes to an old factory planet. There Antoion, Voight and Ruzek get there and goes after him. After chasing, he is taken down and Antonio takes a couple of shots on him but when he talks about how he loved his daughter, Antonio pushes him out the boarded window and landed to his death. It leaves a WTF moment for Ruzek, Voight, and Antonio in this cliffhanger.

"Descent' was a powerful and an intense episode that delivers a surprise moment that I never saw coming: not even from Antonio. This was a strongly written episode that really driven the character development of Antonio to a place we've never seen before and yet it was brilliant. I literally can't wait till Jan. 9th to see what's going to happen next. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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.

FYI: If you didn't get the news this week, it has been a perfect week for The Good Place. Not only did they get picked up for a fourth season, but they also got nominated for two Golden Globes for Best Actress in TV Comedy Series for Kristen Bell and Best TV Comedy Series.
