Making a Promise: Brooklyn Nine-Nine "The Crime Scene"

When a crime scene gets difficult for Jake and Rosa to solve; Jake ups the difficulty by making a promise to the victim's mother that they'll solve it. Here's a recap!

With only being about two characters in this episode, was probably one of the funniest episodes of the season so far. When Jake and Rosa are dealt with a very difficult murder case but things didn't add up. But when Jake meets with the victim's mother and makes a promise to solve the case, Jake doesn't stop cracking the case. From placing red sticky notes as blood on Amy while sleeping to even not wearing any pants in the victim's home, drew the lines that Jake overthinking and Rosa decided to give the case to major crimes.

But the tables turn when Rosa and Jake tell the victim's mother that the case was too hard to crack. After looking at the mother, Rosa changed her mind and makes the same promise to her like Jake did early and tells Jake that she did because she reminded her of her mother. Just as they go back, the apartment was clean from top to bottom, but Jake and Rosa hear something rattling in the air vents where Jake spots wrappers and empty bottles that indicates that someone was hear when CSI was going through the room. Looking at the tape, they see their suspect and soon picks him up and books him!

After closing the case, Rosa tells Jake that she called her mother to meet with her. After an awkward couple of seconds of meeting, Jake leaves and Rosa and her mother seem to be on good terms now after she came out as bisexual last season.

"The Crime Scene" was such a strong and hilarious episode. It's probably one of my favorites so far this season, only this being the sixth episode of the season. I thought the characters were amazing and the development of Jake and Rosa was beautifully written. Not only was Rosa and her mother meeting was a great scene, but I also couldn't get enough of the CSI guy and Jake arguing about great cop shows that are based on their squad. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Sidetrack: Chicago PD "Ties That Bind"

When the Intelligence unit gets close to capturing an arms dealer, it leads to two of the members being held captive for money. Will the team save them, or will it be too late? Here's a recap!

Reality Check: Chicago Med "Can't Unring That Bell"

Maggie fights to keep her patient by making a sacrifice. Conner is in a situation about his decision-making of a former patient. At the same time, Will deals with not only his patient but also Conner's patient. Here's a recap!

Maggie's friend comes back to the ED again for fluid overload. But when she finds out that her patient is at the bottom of the kidney transplant, she makes the most significant decision of donating her kidney to her. Of course, Sharon does what she can to stop it, but after Maggie offers the FMLA card, Sharon understands and approves the transplant.

Conner learns that he's under review about the patient he placed in the ICU (the one where Jay got answers to where Will was being held). After learning that everything was okay, Ava said that she thought Conner did what he did to save the patient. But after talking with Lanik, Conner thinks who could have turned him in for that committee review, Ava? He confronts her and asks her and thinks that she needs help, but she tells him that he's the one who needs help.

Will deals with what I would call a hit of objective reality. Not only does he help try to save a patient who's gone into cardiac arrest and trying to keep him alive, but he sees Conner's patient was shot by a gun that had his stolen gun. He tries to see any updates on Conner's patient and learns that the kid has a bullet in the spine and can't feel his left leg, but no surgery as it could be even worse. But Will talked to the parents and got them to want the surgery, which he did, and it worked. But Will was advised to get his head out of his ass.  As for Will's patient, his heart wasn't working after what seemed to be 30 minutes of CPR, so I had to stop and let him go.

Also, Natalie treats the baby she delivered a while ago, and the mother dies. She and the baby's father seem to get close and even get questioned by Will. But Natalie tells him she's just comforting him and that he could lose his baby. Dr. Charles' date seemed to go well till he learns that his date has a daughter who's a drug addict, and after trying to save her from what appeared to be a heart condition, she bails out of the ED to get drugs again.

"Can't Unring That Bell' was another excellent and intense episode. I enjoyed the Maggie storyline as she's trying to help save a patient that she ignored. What a strong performance from Marlyne Barrett. As for Conner and Ava, I can't pick a side as to whether she's telling the truth. I would hope we get to see maybe a there would be an episode where she talks to a therapist of Dr. Charles. Will needed a work day like that and maybe rethink and go to therapy, but he also got Natalie thinking that perhaps she should listen to him better instead of assuming. As much as Dr. Charles and his date were humorous at times, the rest with the drug addict daughter was a bit predictable, and it was one of the weakest stories in the episode. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

Circle of Life: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Says Bye!" Series Finale

Will Kimmy help save her apartment building? Will Titus pick career over love? Is this the end for Lillian? Here's a recap for the series finale of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Trying to come up with the money to save their apartment, Kimmy tries to figure out what to do from doing live streaming cash and go pron video with her and the bunkers members but that doesn't work. She thought that website that her boss helped build seems to have not worked as it comes up as an error.

Kimmy tries to help Lillian, who isn't taken well of losing her apartment. Lillian tries to go out with her building until the blast wasn't strong enough to take the whole building down. Lillian gets another calling thanks to Kimmy.

Titus gets the role that he's been waiting for, a spot in The Lion King. He's second in line of another star, but soon gets hurt in a bike accident. Later Titus gets a call from Mikey, who wants him to sing at his wedding, but does he? He chooses career over true love, but Kimmy steps in and helps Mikey decided whether to cancel the wedding or go with it. As Titus gets a break, he realizes that he still loves Mikey and tries to go to the wedding but Mikey gets to the theater first and tells him that he loves him and the two kiss.

Jacquline deals with Eli again. As her business is falling apart, he hits on her in a way that she questions of whether to do or not. But soon, she declines until he tells her that it was an offer work as a junior assistant for him, which she agrees only after learning that he's blind. 

Kimmy tries to figure out what's her next thing, and when she sees Xanthippe, Kimmy realizes that she's been reading her book. Xanthippe tells Kimmy that her book is a hit and that the reason that her website isn't working is because of the many, many people trying to visit it. She confronts Jacquline and Eli and worked up a deal.

Four years later... Lillian is the voice of the New York Transportation, Titus and Mikey are happily married with two kids as Titus is a hit movie star. Jacquline and Eli are a hit top movie agent duos. And as for Kimmy, as big as her book become, she opens a theme park at Universal Studios.

"Kimmy says Goodbye" is really the circle of life wrapped up in a nice and lovable bow. There were many laughs, but many, many tears shedding during this episode that I lost it fully during that montage of Circle of Life. So well written finale with amazing and outstanding performances from the cast. This should be in line with some of the greatest series finales like The Office, 30 Rock and Parks and Rec. Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.

You can catch the entire series of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt available on Netflix.

Changes: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Finds a Liar"/"Kimmy is Rich*!"

"Kimmy Finds a Liar"

Titus finds another way to make Mikey jealous while Lillian deals with Sheba's nonsense again. But Kimmy learns if people can change. Here's a recap!

Jacqueline tells Titus that she's found a way to get his name in the papers by dating one of the top HGTV hosts, Tad, by pretending he's gay, which he's not. Even though Titus accepts the challenge, it's another opportunity to win back Mikey. After the first dinner, it seemed that everything was going Titus' way till their next lunch date, in which Mike proposes to his boyfriend, Titus does the same thing but gets turned down, and Tad announces that he's not gay.

Lillian and Sheba are at each other's throats, but when Lillian learns that Sheba tricked her by sending her money to pay off her jail bond, it turns out to be used for her Halloween store. Just as they sit and wait, they open up to one another until they meet with the judge. Sheba soon accepts responsibility for her actions, and Lillian surprises her that all of this is a trick, just like she pulled. Sheba takes over her father's Artie's Farties.

Kimmy, on the other hand, learns that someone has taken the rights to her book when she sees that someone is having a book reading. She sees it's Fran, and he tells her that his girlfriend thought he wrote it and scheduled a public lesson. He also mentions that her book changed his perspective on women, and he gives his full support. But when it comes to hanging around with his guys, his word isn't it, and he decides to perform his flag dance from school.

After seeing that Fran can change, Kimmy tries to find something she can do that wouldn't be so much as playing it safe. After looking at the book poster, she sees the hand knitted of the world that she got at the beginning of her journey and decides to travel the world but tells her boss that she's going to quit till he tells her to wait till next week because of big money/

I enjoyed the episode from the beginning to the end. There was one moment that was a bit predictable, and that was the storyline between Titus and Mikey. After that first date night, you see that Mikey is considering marrying his boyfriend. Lillian, on the other hand, is a surprise that I enjoy watching between her and Sheba, which was terrific, and I think that Busy Phillips deserves an Emmy nomination for Guest Actress in a Comedy. And for Kimmy, we are seeing her grow and grow as she's pushing not to play it safe and wants to do something different: travel—strong character development and writing. Amazing performances. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"Kimmy is Rich*!"

Could Titus have found the gig that he's been looking for? Is Jacquline done for the next few days when her top client is moving to LA? Will Kimmy get rich? Here's a recap!

Kimmy agrees to stay at her job until her boss sells the company. She realizes that her company spies on people through their phones and mouths to know what ads they would like. She soon plays with her boss about telling the buyer about the sexual harassment case in exchange for him to get the company to sell ads about her book, which works.

After losing Mikey, Titus takes a school bus to see the play Cats. One of the kids doesn't think Titus could be a part of the show. But Titus shows him and performs and gets accepted by the cast. Titus learns that Cats is just a fake Broadway show that is all improvised but learns that he can't tell anyone about it in the style of Fight Club. Later, he tells Jacquline, who's having a bit of crisis mode herself, and gets Titus kicked out of the play but gives an autograph to a happy kid to see a Broadway celebrity.

As for Jacquline, she's dealing with losing her big client to another agent who wants to take him to LA. Trying to win him over, it wasn't going so well until she saw that Greg Kinnear was his client, too. After hearing about Titus' new play, she gets him into the space of Cats and wins not only the audience but the cast as well.

As Kimmy walks back home, Titus follows and tells about his day along with a happy Lillian, who won the dance contest with Bradley Cooper; the three see all their stuff outside and learn that their place will be knocked down. Cliffhanger!!

I loved this episode, from Titus arguing with the kid to performing with the cast of Cats, which happens to be nonsense of a play that people love. Kimmy trying to sexually dance for her boss and get him to help her sell her book was hilarious—strong writing and character development. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

What If: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Sliding Van Doors"

This episode asked the question, "What if this had happened?" Here's a recap!

"Sliding Van Doors" was one of the best and most special episodes as the ninth episode of season four. It asked that simple question: what if this had happened? Would things be different? It would be so, but it all comes back in the end. When Kimmy and Titus thought that they could have met each other in Indiana if Kimmy hadn't gotten in that van.

If Kimmy hadn't gotten in that van, Kimmy and Titus would have met at a movie theater and moved on their way. Kimmy goes to college but gets hit and lands in a coma until she wakes up and becomes a famous local reporter who lost her husband to their maid. She flies to New York City, and when she gets there, it doesn't turn out how she had hoped until she reunites with Titus.

After meeting with Kimmy, Titus gets to New York City but misses the audition and does the unthinkable thing: joining Scientology and becoming Tom Crusie's stunt double in his movies. He soon gets the role of a lifetime and keeps his perfect image during press screening until his fiance dumps him and has to find someone else. He finds Kimmy, and becomes partners for life until a murderer comes in to kill them.

Meanwhile, Jacquline turns upside down when she tries to find a wealthy billionaire who turns out to be Mike, the construction worker. They have five children and try to find that big break until they enter the witness protection program. Lillian, looking for a renter, turns out to be a gang leader just like that and decides to kick Jacquline and her family out to do her business.

It's such a great episode with solid character development and writing. The performance of the cast was outstanding. I couldn't get enough of this episode from start to finish. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
