I can't wait to see what Maggie does in this week's episode. I've been hoping for a good storyline for her and this looks like the one I've been waiting for. Could Will be going off the deep end? He needs to get his head on straight and fix things before things get worst.

Finally! This is the episode that I've been looking forward to this season. Well, in a way, since Monica Raymund left the show I had always thought that this season should have that single heroic episode for Brett. We had one for Severide, Casey, and Gabby, why not Brett, right? I'll take Brett, Kidd, and Foster having their heroic moment episode this should be one badass rescue to see this week. And speaking of chili, I might have to make some before the episode airs.

One Night: Chicago PD "Night In Chicago"

It's the most powerful episode of the season so far that will have you shocked. Here's a recap!

While on an undercover job to take down drug boss, Gamble,. As Atwater gets close enough with Daryl, Gamble's relative and who works for him, he gives him a tip about a friend he knows to help with the lost drugs that the Intelligence took down earlier.

But as things were to go smooth, Atwater and Daryl get pulled over by two Chicago cops. Not only watching this, Voight tells the team to wait. But when the cops got word of a robbery and the suspects were two black males, they go their way to arrest Atwater and Daryl. Atwater tries to explain but when Daryl argues with the officer and gets shot in front of Atwater. Voight comes in and talks with the officers and offers to take the suspect to the station. As Atwater gets into the car, Burgess asked if he was okay and his response was no as it's just another night in Chicago.

Later, as Voight talks with Kelton about the situation, Kelton was pissed to learn that Atwater was arrested and that he couldn't tell the cops that he was CPD undercover. But if he would have done that their undercover would have been blown. Not only did this situation puts Atwater in a difficult position to choose a side that he thinks is best but also carry out the undercover to take down Gamble, for which he did.

As Atwater rewatches the tape from the officer's camera, Ruzek talks to him and tells him that he's got his back no matter what, even if he doesn't understand being black. Later on, he met with Ray Price, who was the man who helped Voight take down Gamble, to asked him to use dirt that he got on the officer that shot Daryl because it would be the start point for Price to run for Mayor.

After Atwater gave his version of the event, he goes after the officer that shot Daryl, even though he got away scot-free. But that doesn't mean they are going to be best of friends for that and instead, Atwater takes their beef outside the bar where Atwater kicks his ass and warns him.

"Night In Chicago" was a powerful and intense episode of Chicago PD, but it was LaRoyce Hawkins' best performance of the season so far since the early episode this season. It was, as usual, the classic style of Chicago PD but then took a turn that got to an intense seriousness but also made my skin crawl as well. As much as I'm okay with what Atwater decided to do, but it would have interesting to see where would his character have gone if he took Price's offer and told the investigation team about it.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Believe in Fate: The Blacklist "Alter Ego (No. 131)"

Can Red win both his case and one of his associates? Here's a recap!

With one of Red's associates in panic mode because of being in jail, they could vote him out of their business. But when that associate is found dead, Red gets Liz and the FBI to hunt down the person that did this or things would look bad on his end with his business.

As Liz and the task force took on the case, they discover that the associate's will gives all the money and businesses to his son, who he never had met before. Liz and Ressler interview him, along with his friends and girlfriend. But something wasn't right and saw that his girlfriend was lying on who she is after seeing getting married to another man.

They later got information that she, along with the so-called friends of the associate's son, are in fact working together as alter egos for people that need a plus one when they are not in a relationship. But the twist comes from the friends when they were the ones that falsified the associate's will for his son, that he never knew to get the money and business and later kill him to get the money. But Ressler and Liz get there in time to stop, with Liz having some badass elevator fight.

Meanwhile, Red fights for his life in court once again. As he challenges the search and that the only reason why was because he pissed off the cop. Even challenging to listen to the 911 tape, but was denied by the judge as she got to listen to it. In the end, the judge agrees that the search was misused but adds that the gun would be admitted to evidence because of breaking his immunity agreement.

But in the end, Red learned that his associate wasn't murdered because of Red. But also that the associate's son gave his approval to keep Red in business. And after talking with Liz, he tells her that he'll find the person that turned him in and get revenge.

"Alter Ego" was one hell of an episode. From the case of the week that was very interesting to Red representing himself in court was one hour of television at it's best. And just when you thought Red was going to be set free, he's not and the trail continues because of carrying a gun position that was a volition of his agreement. But it left with one of the best scenes at the end when he tells Liz that he'll find out who made that 911 call and seek his revenge on them. It left a real chilling moment.

Not to mention Dembe given Red that he needs to have faith when it comes to good things. Yeah, the associate's death wasn't anything to do with Red but fate was cut short at the end in court. And Ressler's wedding date problem was not only funny but really good for character development. For a second I thought that he was going to ask Liz to go because there was a moment with the way they looked at each other.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch The Blacklist Fridays at 9/8c on NBC.

Secrets, Truth and Lies: Chicago Med "Ghosts in the Attic"

After a week off, Chicago Med brings in another powerful episode that would leave us stunned. Here's a recap!

Ethan deals with a patient that no other nurse would want to help treat. When he confronts April about the situation, he learns that the patient is a child molester and assaulted one of the nurses, who had him as a piano teacher. Ethan understands but wants a nurse to help treat him, but none would but after the patient goes into cardiac arrest, he dies and Ethan thinks that April or one of the nurses might have given him too much medicine. It draws both Ethan and April into deep tension til Ethan learns that the patient had a tumor that had killed him.

Conner and Ava worked together to treat a patient, who comes in with broken ribs and is in need to place metal plates but is also HIV. After the first half was a success, working on the other half was a task when as they start to begin Ava cuts her finger. Goodwin ordered Ava to head to the Infectious Diseases Control and start taking meds. Conner, who feels bad, visits her with a forgive me present. But it was when Conner returns to Med that someone mentions that it's weird how that happened with Ava because she's so careful, which makes him think about it. Was it an accident or on purpose?

Natalie not only deals with Will's car being broken in but a patient who she assumed was playing with his wife about his cancer illness. It turned out that her patient wasn't playing, but knows that his illness is getting worst. But when it comes to Will, who was kind of on the edge with his car being broken in by someone. Learns the truth that Will didn't turn in the gun that he said he would do. After that, she's done and returns the ring.

Maggie, who hasn't had a strong storyline so far, not only dealing with Med down a nurse but deals with someone who asked for her help. Thinking that it might not be serious, turns out to be very sick when Will exams her and are in need of a kidney transplant.


"Ghosts in the Attic" was a marvelous episode! It was such intense and dramatic at times, that it had me on the edge of my seat almost throughout the episode. Strong character development and writing. I don't want to give up on #Manstead but I know that Will has been such an idiot that I wish that Jay or someone would just slap the reality back into him. He had one chance and blew it! I still have a little bit of hope they would get back together and I know some don't. Conner and Ava have been such an up and down with the did she or didn't she with his father. But now it's anyone's ball game whether if she played him with what had happened in that OR room. Anyone think that everyone needs to have a sitdown with Dr. Charles to talk this out? And Maggie's storyline was probably one of the best as the character hasn't had her own story in a while. I think next week's episode will have her go the distance to save the patient. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Here's the trailer: 

I've been looking forward to this show since news of the show being developed. I would have hoped that it would be on NBC and I think it would have fitted somewhere if not the spring season, but could be the summer blockbuster of a show. From the look of this trailer, I was blown away and it's got that bit of Bad Boys tick to it. I may not know what Spectrum is or where the hell it's at on the station, but I'm gonna try my best to see this series.
