Thoughts:

So looking forward to next week's episodes. With Fire being probably the one I'm looking forward to the most with Stella helping to find two kids. From the promo, I get the SVU episode (9-1-1) vibe. But also Cruz getting fatherhood tips from the Herrmann and others, that looks to be a fun story yet I expect some moments. 

Med looks good and while I'm concerned about what happens with Goodwin, I'm more concerned about Natalie's next move after what she did in the previous episode (taking a dead patient's drug trial medicine). And PD looks good as well. Will Ruzek forgive Burgess? Will Burgess keep Makayla?  Get the popcorn ready for an exciting night!

Bring There: Chicago Med "Letting Go Only to Come Together"/"Some Things Are Worth the Risk"

 

"Letting Go Only to Come Together"

Sometimes, letting go is the only thing that could make you better. 

When Dr. Charles and Halstead help a patient suffering from a seizure and see his dead wife in the corner of the room, they learn that the patient has a brain tumor and won't get it surgically removed because he doesn't want to lose seeing his wife. But Dr. Charles gave one last shot to convince the patient to go with the surgery, to which he agreed. 

April was chosen to work in the COVID unit, but when it comes to helping a patient, her actions might have gotten the best of her, and she might have suffered consequences after pushing meds without the doctor's order.

When a young centers into the ED, Dr. Virani and Choi work together to help treat his heart condition. But it looks like the issue isn't the heart but more of the lungs after multiple bleeds. 

After having a lovely evening with Manning's mother, Marcel, and Manning treat a patient who has been seen and treated for everything but abdominal pain. When they did a CT scan, it showed something no other doctor would have noticed. 

"Letting Go Only to Come Together" was a good episode.: good writing and character development. I love seeing Dr. Virani get into action instead of occasionally popping in. April's activities concern me about her taking on a different career path than just nursing. Also, I'm glad that Michael is leaving. While it brings some terrific drama between Goodwin and the Med, it just felt enough. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

"Some Things Are Worth the Risk"

She's back!!

Dr. Charles gets a visit from a former patient who wanted to see him over another doctor. But after he declines to be her therapist, Romona returns to the ED after she ingests pesticide to see Dr. Charles. 

As soon as Romona was cleared, Dr. Charles began to talk to her and tried to talk more about her father. But just as they were making some breakthrough, Anna called for help. After that, Romona was gone. 

Marcel and April treated a former COVID-19 patient suffering from trouble breathing. April thinks they are suffering from anxiety, but that's not the case after coughing up blood. It turns out to be endometriosis, but with the patient wanting to have kids, she decides to have surgery to remove the lung portion. 

Manning gets word on her mother's condition, which looks less harmful. Ked Will if he could help get her mother in treatment but couldn't, even after telling Virani about the stunt he had pulled. Meanwhile, she takes away a former patient's drug trial after the patient had died to give to her mother. Yikes!

Archer and Ethan go on a trip to help a trapped patient in a basement. When gunshots were going off, Ethan saw Archer experiencing PTSD and, after saving the patient, tried to talk to him to get help. But we all know he's not going to get it.

"Some Things Are Worth the Risk" was another excellent episode. I thought that Dr. Charles and Romona's storyline was good. Especially in that scene when Anna tells her dad how she feels bad for being the one to let Romona go. Manning is going into dangerous territory. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

Thoughts:

I'm so looking forward to this week's new episodes. With Chicago Med, will Natalie turn to Will to help her mother? How will Ethan and Dean deal with the field emergency as it brings back bad memories from their days? I'm going to guess not good. 

With Chicago Fire, I'm so excited to see Mouch save someone but let's face it, the focus on this episode is pretty much about Casey and where or not that he's going to keep his job with the results of his head injury. And yes, it's going to give us another Brettsey moment, just like what we had last season with Brett losing her mother. 

Chicago PD looks to be another goodie to watch. With a serious case, will Voight do the unthinkable this time? We haven't really seen him push his limits since the season premiere of Voight being Voight to suspects. Could this be the week that he does?

Pushing the Limits: Chicago Med "For the Want of A Nail"/"So Many Things We've Kept Buried"

 

"For the Want of A Nail"

Talk about a freaky episode!

Dr. Charles, Halstead, and April treat a patient, Romona, who comes into the ED with a nail in her foot and a brain bleed. But she didn't want to be treated at Med but wanted another hospital. It gets creepy when they learn that Romona has been going to the other ED for over a year, pulling fake emergencies. 

Charles gets Romona to accept the surgery at Med, but there seems to be a fallout when she shows signs of having a crush on Dr. Charles. 

After Auggie has left with his brother and adoptive family, Maggie helps a young pregnant woman who suffered an emergency and needed a C-section. Maggie and the young woman learn that that baby has spina bifida occulta. But bonding with the young woman made her decide to search for her daughter, and she gave up. 

Dr. Archer has an issue with Manning and Marcel when they overstep his medical judgment with a patient and tell Ethan about their relationship. That gets both Manning worried about going public with her relationship with Marcel. 

"For the Want of a Nail" was a good episode, but sometimes freaky regarding Romona and Dr. Charles. Has anyone got that Fatal Attraction fab from her? What an excellent way to work with new colleagues when it comes to Dr. Archer, who pushes the envelope when it comes to being a creep as well. I loved that Maggie storyline once and loved how she guided the young woman on whether to keep her baby or not. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/

"So Many Things We've Kept Buried."

Talk about another powerful episode! 

Will and Ethan treat a surrogate patient to her daughter's baby, who's having heart complications. Ethan and Will differ in treating the patient; also, I feel they were showing off with Dr. Virani. But in the end, Will comes through with a treat that could have gone south but didn't. 

Dr. Marcel tends to a problematic surgery when a bullet in a patient's leg moves to the liver. But when Godowin's son offers a way to get that bullet out of the patient's liver, it doesn't go so well and runs to the patient's heart. That is until Marcel learns that the patient has a heart defect and takes him into emergency surgery before the bullet goes into the brain. Luckily, Marcel got the safe and bonded with the patient, who at first wasn't pleased being in the ED.

April goes the extra mile in this episode when she treats a patient in the field at a construction site. She tries her best to see the patient through. 

Meanwhile, Dr. Charles and Manning treat a patient who suffered from a broken arm that needed surgery, but something doesn't add up when she tells them she attacked near an ally. There was no video footage of it, and she later learned that her husband had shot her, who happens to be retired from the military. 

Charles doesn't think that it's not domestic abuse but instead that the patient's husband is suffering from night terrors and is attacking her without knowing it. The husband won't face charges but will go to a facility to get help.

"So Many Things We've Kept Buried" was a unique and powerful episode. I loved the Marcel storyline and bonding with the patient after showing him that he goes a mile to help his patient. Plus, Dr. Charles and Manning's story of the couple was so good and heartbreaking. And I loved the battle between Ethan and Will, and I just had this feeling that they might be going at it because of Virani. Anyone? 

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

In the season premiere, as Brainiac lays close to death after trying to stop Lex, Supergirl and team soar in to save him, engaging in an epic battle with Gamenmae.

Knowing how dangerous this makes her brother, Lena enlists the entire team, Alex, J'onn, Dreamer, Kelly, and Brainiac, to help but Supergirl realizes that the only way to truly stop Lex is to sacrifice herself.

Thoughts:

From the description of the episode, it sounds like a two-hour premiere event, but I'm sure it's not. While I am excited for the return of the final season, I just worry that the writers and producers might pull an Arrow death here with Supergirl sacrificing herself in this upcoming episode. I hope that's not the case.

The final season of Supergirl premieres Tuesday, March 30th at 9/8c on The CW.

Pushing the Limits: Chicago Med "Better is the Enemy of Good"/"Fathers and Mothers, Daughters and Sons"

 

"Better is the Enemy of Good"

When one of Will's clinical trial patients comes in with complications, he goes through everything to ensure that it's not the trial drug. Whether it's the drug or not, Will tries everything he can to find the answer. Even checking out the trial drug, he learns the patient was using the real medical. It turns out that it was a tumor that was causing her symptoms. 

After getting a package from his ex-wife, Dr. Marcel and Manning help treat a patient with aggressive cancer disguised as pneumonia. Seeing the patient and his husband got married after learning of how long the patient has to live. Watching those two getting married gave Marcel the courage to go through the package his ex-wife dropped off, which happens to be stuff from their daughter, including a tape of her first birthday.

After not receiving anything from that DNA search for a living member of Auggie and moving forward with the adoption, Maggie soon gets word that Auggie has an older brother living in California and that he and his adoptive parents want to meet. At the same time, Sharon deals with her son, who was upselling to Dr. Abrams during a procedure.

Dr. Charles helps a patient, a doctor, who begins to have a psychotic breakdown after seeing a colleague who died a year ago. After a toxic screen, Charles learns that the patient has been taking supplements that make him delusional. 

Meanwhile, after coming in late, Dr. Choi returns to Med, showing signs of pain and fever. After an episode with Dr. Charles' patient, Ethan Colipase told Charles and April he had a procedure at another hospital.

"Better is the Enemy of Good" was an excellent episode, Halstead being Halstead pushing the limits to save his patient and protect the trial drug. You could see the resemblance between Ethan and Dr. Charles's patient, that they have to be better. I don't know. I feel that Auggie meeting his older brother might turn into something more. Could Ethan and Dr. Virani be a thing? 

Overall, I give this an 8.5/10.

"Fathers and Mothers, Daughters and Sons"

After pulling a crazy stunt in the previous episode, Ethan needed to hire someone to help carry the workload. He sees that an old Navy mentor, Dr. Dean Archer, was on a list of candidates. But could employing a mentor be a good idea? Even April questions it as she gets annoyed seeing Archer giving orders to Ethan when treating a patient. 

Dr. Charles and Maggie help treat a patient suffering from a delusion that her deceased baby is still alive through a doll. Assisting the patient through the deception also helped Charles and Maggie with their issue with Charles' daughter moving to Arizona—Auggie's older brother's adoptive parents adopted Auggie. 

Meanwhile, Natalie deals with her mother suffering from heart failure, and having Will wanting help makes Marcel a bit jealous. Halstead suggests to Natalie a drug trial, but Marcel believes that the LAVD is the best for her until she gets a new heart. But Natalie and her mother went with the LVAD. 

"Fathers and Mothers, Daughters and Sons" was a fantastic episode. Of course, I ate up the Manstead scenes again and hoped that Natalie would go with the drug trial for her mother. Steven Weber's first appearance was good as well. But I thought Maggie's storyline in this episode was fantastic and heartbreaking as she has to lose Auggie and learned that she gave up a baby for adoption. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Supergirl Final Season Has Premiere Date

 

The final season of the Girl of Steel has an air date. 

The CW announced on Friday that the sixth and final season of Supergirl will begin Tuesday, March 30th at 9/8c, taking over Superman and Lois while they are on hiatus. 

But don't worry fans of the new Superman series, the show will return for the rest of its first season beginning Tuesday, May 18 at 9/8c. The show has been impacted by COVID-19. After it completes its run, Supergirl will return to complete its final season (which has no date yet).

Not much known to be what's to come in the final season, though Azie Tedfai (Kelly Olsen) is co-writing Episode 12, make her the first actor to have a hand in writing an episode of an Arrowverse series. 

Now that we got a premiere date, I can't wait to see what the final season has in store. I just hope that it gets a better final season than Arrow.
