Relationship Status: This Is Us "R&B"

Image result for This Is Us R & B

Could this be the end of Beth and Randall's relationship? Here's a recap!

Last night's episode was not only another memorable one; it was a strong written one of showing the developments between Beth and Randall. We see not only how they first met in college; but that Randall was determined that Beth was the one. From college to fast forwarding to seven years as Randall still proposing to Beth, with her responding with a no.

Throughout the episode, we see a deep background of Randall and Beth's relationship; Randall had a way by guilting Beth whether it's getting married; that later turned when she takes Randall to her favorite place for him to the proposal; for which she said yes. Another when they worked things out together during their wedding when rewriting their own vows. Even when changing their first born's diaper and she tells Randall how he could in a way smooth talk while taking all the cheesy parts of the nachos.

But it was during when William and Kevin were staying at their house their relationship really showed. Beth lied to Randall about going to a meeting that turned out to be having her own night along with candy, wine, and Living Single marathon. But he tells he understands and after talking about the episode she's on, he guilts her to come back home with him and William, as he was looking for maple syrup.

Coming back to the present, the tension between Randall and Beth could but cut with a sharp knife. As Beth tells Randall why he doesn't argue back to her; we see a flashback to when he spied on Jack and Rebecca arguing at each other. We see that that flashback is the reason why he doesn't want to argue with someone that he cares and also why he fixes every problem with words and affections.
It really got ugly when Beth brings up his mental break down moments that ended with Randall going to his office in Philly. Later we see Randall on the couch and Beth on the floor and see them as kids as they each were looking at their flowers that Randall got them for their date.

"R&B" was an amazing and memorable episode from beginning to the end. The episode has so character development and moments that I couldn't leave my seat during the commercials. The show pulls off another powerful episode and a strong performance from Susan Kelechi Watson and Sterling K. Brown, but also the Niles Fitch and Rachel Hilson too as they played 17-year-old Beth and Randall. I really don't see how this could turn any worst or even better after the ending of the episode. I'm not ready for the season finale just yet, but feel like it's gonna be big. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch the season finale of This Is Us Tuesday at 9/8c on NBC.

I can't wait for Chicago Fire to return! Yeah, I do enjoy a couple of week's off to recharge the old mind and get back into the show. Casey and Herrman relationship could be in jeopardy for a call that could go pretty bad. Could the fire be arson that draws in a new team of Brett and Severide to investigate it? I do miss the team up of Gabby and Severide but gotta move on. Also, after the previous episode, I've noticed that my theory of Brett and Casey romance relationship wasn't that far out there. But there is a lot that doesn't agree and I understand that. But I why wouldn't these two get together on a romantic level?

You can catch Chicago Fire as they return this Wednesday at 9/8c on NBC!

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"

Image result for 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.
