Family Shocker and Revelations: Fresh Off The Boat "Grand-Mahjong"

Could Jessica and Grandma Huang's relationship be fixed? Here's a recap!

When Elaine sees that Jessica and Grandma Huang aren't in a good relationship, she tries to help her build upon it. After learning the fundamentals, she uses it when playing a game with Grandma Huang; at first, it seemed that Jessica was going to lose it but regains and acts nice and shows her care. Even though Grandma Huang could see what was going on, she uses it to her advantage but Jessica could play it her game too and soon the two have a good understanding relationship.

Meanwhile, after making fun of Emery's weakness, Louis tries to fixes his relationship with him by using his neighbor's "good luck" wrestling technique. At that point, it became known that Emery finally could take down someone like his old man as he won the wrestling match by accidentally punching him in the face. Call it the Ali moment.  Even though it was a shocker, they were soon on good speaking terms.

"Grand-Mahjong" was a very good episode. It was very much one of the best episodes with not only the ensemble cast but also the guest stars too with Ming-Na Wen and Reggie Lee. Strong character development and writing that I give this episode a 9/10.

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

To Be Or Not To Be?: This Is Us "You Are My Sunshine"

After last week's episode that felt so realistic, this week's episode of This Is Us took my breathe away. Here's a recap!

As Kate keeps her faith in baby Jack going to make it through this ordeal; Toby isn't sure if he's gonna make it. When the nurses were going to take some more blood from Jack, Toby wasn't too pleased and walked out an emotional upset. But after talking with another father who's been at the hospital for six weeks; he kind of help Toby talk it out with Kate. Soon Kate leaves Toby with their son and he starts talking with him.

Kevin and Zoe go to couples therapy and soon discuss whether if they want to have children or not. Zoe doesn't want to have any; so Kevin goes to a meeting and walks around to Sophie's house, where he meets her there. As soon as they have coffee, she tells him that she's engaged but still had coffee and talked. She gives him advice that he has to make the decision and that it's not going to be handed to him like other things in his life.

In the past flashback, we see the Pearson family getting ready for the school dance. Kevin and Kate are excited while Randall isn't and tries to study for a science exam instead. We see Rebecca and Jack chaperone the dance; she learns that Jack never went to a school dance before and took this time to show him what it was like. While a young Kevin toilet papering an office and sees Sophie. He begins to wrap each other around with toilet paper and told her that they will be together.

Randall and Beth are trying to make their situation work; but it seemed that when Randall is trying all that he can to be a parent, catch up on work and still trying to be there for all. As Beth is nailing her first recital with high praise, but she's also enjoying it too. Randall tells her that they've been invited to dinner, but she told him that she can't because she's going to be hanging out with her co-workers.

But the heat really gets going when Randall gets to the dinner but Beth doesn't show up and leaves a very mean voicemail on her phone. Soon, Beth gets there and later after dinner and purple cheesecake, the two really got to it. Beth tells Randall that he should sleep at his Philly office; but Randall comes home and tells her that he's not going to sleep there and soon as they were going to be talking about it, Randall shuts the door and end of the episode.

"You Are My Sunshine" might not hold up to last week's episode, but it sure came close. From the moments of Kate singing to baby Jack "You Are My Sunshine" was such an overwhelming of emotions. While watching Randall and Beth's relationship seem to take another dark turn. As much as I feel that everyone played such a big role in this episode; I feel that Chirs Sullivan's performance was outstanding. As for Kevin and Sophie; I'm still not given up on them as that past moment at the dance and the moment after their coffee just seems that they are not over each other, even though Sophie's engaged. The episode was amazing with such strong character development with everyone but mostly Toby. Overall,, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch This Is Us Tuesdays at 9/8c on NBC.

"The Flies Don't Lie" Brooklyn Nine-Nine "Gintars"

As Jake helps Charles with a family problem; Rosa and Terry think that Amy and Holt's favorite forensic guy could be a fraud. Here's a recap!!

When Jake noticed that he and Charles are being followed, they lose him just enough to surprise him. But it would be a surprise to them as it was Gintars, Charle's adoptive son's real father. Charles lets his son bond with Gintars and soon it starts to worry on him. After hearing all the moaning and groaning, Jake tries to help and gets Gintars to confess that his GAPE clothing company is fake and gets him arrested. After stopping the whole arrested with Gintars, Jake fixed it and apologize to Charles for his  helping, but added with two best friends hats that happen to not fit/

As Rosa and Terry have a hard time closing a murder case of locating blood; Holt and Amy summoned Dr. Yee, a forensic guy that specializes with flies that can indicate blood. Of course, Amy and Holt go gaga over him but Terry and Rosa have a feeling that he's not all that great til Rosa got to try them out and learn that Yee's flies can't indicate blood. Yee confesses to Holt and Amy and apologize, but Rosa got to use those flies by getting a confession out of the suspect.

Meanwhile, Terry has been going throw bug issues at home; and not only shaved his eyebrows but bleach his goatee as well. Even with a peel on fake eyebrows it still didn't help as everyone still made fun of him.

"Gintars" was a very good episode. As much as I enjoyed the Amy/Holt/Terry/Rosa storyline; it was the Jake/Charles storyline that was one that I enjoyed the most and probably one of my favorites between the two characters. The episode had strong writing and performances from Samberg and Truglio. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"You Get What You Get" A.P. Bio "Nuns"

Could Jack get away of taking back of what is his even though it belongs to the church? Here's a recap!

After becoming the new Driver's Ed instructor, Jack sees an opportunity to take what belongs to him when he learns that before his mother died donated money to the church for a statue. Trying to get his class to help him pull it off, none wanted to do it. That was until he gets three of them for the driver's class and gets Victor to drive to the church.

Anthony, who goes to this church, doesn't want to help but after a little convincing he does. But the next day, Ralph and Helen informed Jack about the church called about their statue was stolen and a witness saw the school Driver's ed car. Thinking that they would send a priest to interview Jack's students turned out to be nuns.  A freakout Jack worries and gets his students to lie at their best, but these nuns can see right through them, but without telling them anything.

Jack learns that Anthony left his retainer at the church and decides to get the students to return the statue while he talks with the nuns. In the process, Jack gets interrogated by the nuns and comes clean that he could have been a better son to his mother. But before confessing, the nuns get a call that their statue had returned.

"Nun" was a good episode that probably would bring back so memories of a childhood encounter with nuns. Even though the chemistry between Jack, Victor, Heather, and Anthony is amazing and they play one another perfectly in the episode. The chemistry between Ralph and Helen is unbelievable; even if they were in the episode for a short time. The episode had good writing and good character development. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.
