Magnum P.I. Season 2 Episode 1 "Payback for Beginners" Review




While Magnum waits for Higgins to decide if she'll officially become his partner, he takes the case of a missing wife who witnessed her boss' murder during a bank robbery.
This was a very interesting first episode that felt a little weird because it really didn't feel like a very good season opener episode it felt much better being an episode somewhere near the middle of a season because it missed out on a lot of the qualifications I think are needed for a season opener episode. What were the main problems is it didn't do a very good job of reintroducing a lot of the main characters both Rick and TC were barely in this episode and even with Higgins they didn't do a very good job of re-establishing her role within the team. I did really enjoy the storyline in this episode around the missing wife and her going on this vendetta to get revenge for the death of her friend and all the twists and turns that came along with the truth around what she was doing and why was very interesting and very surprising with how they chose to reveal everything. With Magnum and Higgins tracing the trail of all the different places that the wife went to was very interesting with how they ended up running into the bad guys they were looking for but didn't necessarily realize it and how all that was shown was fun to see. Then all the conflict between Magnum and Kazumoto due to what happened in the finale last season was very interesting to see how he was still refusing to work with Magnum and caused a lot of problems when Magnum was looking for help. Then the ending of this episode kind of bugged me because a bunch of different moments sort of feeling out of character was pretty much out of nowhere Rick decided to leave the club he's been running and find a new career. Then, Higgins, all the sudden decides to return to England to hear the offer given by MI6 to her, Higgins leaving instead of joining the group in their barbecue just felt very out of character. Overall this was a very good and interesting episode to watch and see how everything played out it just didn't feel like a very good season opener episode to me.

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 10 "Bad Day to Be a Hero" Review


Magnum must help Rick's crush after her illegal poker game is robbed by masked gunmen.
This was a really great episode that did a good job of giving every character a role in the main story. Everything with Rick and him working on trying to save this relationship he has formed and things just keeping going wrong for him leading to a somewhat of an unhappy ending. Then meeting Rick's father and seeing some of the life he grew up in and possibly why he is the way he is was really great. The whole break down of which shady person at the poker game was involved with the robbers was interesting with how the ruled out each player until something came up. But the actual truth behind the robbery just felt like a very dramatic shift and like they were trying to fit two different episodes into one which made for a very rushed ending in my opinion. Overall this was a really fun and exciting episode that had a lot of good parts to it.

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 9 "The Ties That Bind" Review


After a 16-year-old kidnap victim escapes her captors, her parents hire Magnum, who experienced similar trauma as a POW, to find who took her.

This was a really great episode that was so interesting to watch and see how everything turned out. Everything with Amanda was very interesting with her working through all the pain of what happened to help to then be able to help Magnum track down her kidnapper. And the truth comes out more about Magnum's experiences in the POW camp was interesting to see how Higgins reacted to everything. Then the part about locating was Amanda was being held was interesting with the police searches ended up going in the wrong direction and that is why they could never find her. Then the whole truth that the reason the kidnappers took Amanda was to get her father to kill someone he had access to was an interesting twist to the story. And how Magnum managed to save the day and stop things from going bad was all just entertaining to see. Then just overall this was a really well-done episode that was so entertaining to watch.

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 8 "Die He Said" Review




A man dying of lymphoma hires Magnum to find his estranged, bone-marrow-compatible brother who turns out to need Magnum’s help as well.

This was a kind of weird but entertaining episode that had some good moments to it. I really enjoyed the story as a whole around Magnum working to reconnect these two brothers as well as figure out what it is that separated them. Then the whole story around how the events going on with the two brothers and how is very similar to events that went down on a mission that went down in Afghanistan. That made it interesting to see when those similarities popped up and what Magnum did to make sure things didn’t go wrong this time with the bother was great. Then the whole story around the bother that Magnum was hired to track down was a little confusing but still entertaining where the bother stole money from these dealers that were working through the bother and the bothers friend taking off with the money. The confusing part revolved around the scene where the three guys who were tracking the bother down finally turned on each other that was just weird and felt like it was a way to quickly end things. Then the whole story around video between the two bothers was sweet with how it finally played into things and sort of finalizing things. Overall this was a sweet and entertaining episode that was so much fun to watch.

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 7 "The Cat Who Cried Wolf" Review


Magnum takes the case of a little girl's missing cat and, in the process, stumbles upon another cat's murdered owner who happens to be an FBI agent.

This was a really interesting episode that wasn't all that exciting but it was still entertaining to watch and see how everything played out. The whole storyline around the missing cat was a fun little extra bit to add into this episode where Magnum is doing all this different stuff to prepare to disappoint this little girl that he couldn't find her cat but because of the fact of his smaller actions he ended up bringing the cat back home and that was just an entertaining part to this episode. Then everything around the murder case was entertaining where they are looking into this death of an FBI agent and are trying to track down who killed him and why and stuff. And the truth of who actually did it wasn't super surprising but it was interesting with how everyone chose to approach it where it was an another FBI agent that had kind of gone rogue. And everything with detective Katsumoto was great where he was aware of actions of the killer and knew how to best approach and try and stop him but Magnum didn't really listen to that. And just the whole ending fight scene between Magnum and this FBI agent was really great with how they chose to end everything. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that wasn't all that eventful or exciting but it was still a fun watch.

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 6 "Death Is Only Temporary" Review


An aging tycoon asks Magnum to find his lost love, who supposedly died 30 years ago; Rick and TC meet an injured fellow vet who is having a hard time adjusting to civilian life.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that had so many fun moments and it was just really interesting to see how everything played out. Everything with the case was really interesting with how the tycoon got this message from a lost love and he hires Magnum to see whether this truly is the women or if it is just spam. Then how the actual people planned out to hide from the cameras and use just the right amount of information to prove themselves as this women was really great especially with how they stumbled upon this information on this women by finding her dead body. Then the actual murder of this women was interesting where she leaves but tried to get back in contact with the tycoon when she discovers she is pregnant but the friend of the tycoon drives her away because the tycoon just recently married the fiend's sister. And a course the murdered women and the friend get into a fight leading to an accident and she dies and the friend decided to cover it up and hide her body. Then how Higgins played into all this was nice with her being the support for the tycoon whenever his dementia started to act up. Then everything with Rick and TC was some really great moments where they were trying to befriend this other vet and the vet just wanted none of it and he thought no one would fully understand. And all the conversations between all of them was so interesting with them talking about how you never fully get over the trauma you just learn to work past it. Then what TC decided to do for the vet was a nice way to end their story where TC offered the vet a mechanic job similar to that the vet wanted before going to war. Then just overall this was a really great episode that had so many entertaining moments to it.

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 5 "Sudden Death" Review


TC asks Magnum to take on a case to help acquit the father of one of his young football players who is accused of murder.

This was a really interesting episode that had a lot of good moments to it and had a bunch of unexpected twists and turns. Everything around Magnum and TC in this episode was really great with the emotional roller-coaster they went on in this episode, and I also enjoyed it for the little bit of backstory we got around TC. Which was interesting seeing the development of TC with the discovery that his father was guilty of murder and went to prison because of it so TC had to learn to survive on his own until his dad was freed. Then Magnum and TC's relationship being tested went evidence comes up possibly linking Hani to the murder and Magnum is conflicted on whether to go to the police was such a great moment and so well done. And I just found it interesting how they chose to frame things and shoot scenes where it was done in a way that made each suspect seem guilty until things came up proving them innocent to some degree. Then the true story of what lead up to the murder and who the murderer was all was a great sort of secret story in this episode where the truth involved a scorned lover who thought that her husband was cheating on her with his work partner. Then how Magnum found that out was so interesting to see. Everything around the MMA fighter and him going after his bad drug dealers was just really odd and kind of unnecessary to this episode and it just made very little sense besides proving another suspect besides Hani. Then everything with Higgin's in this episode was interesting with her dealing with Makoa while Magnum and TC try and save his dad and it was just really fun to see her try and deal with a kid. Then just overall this was a really great and interesting episode that had some good moments to it.

Magnum PI Season 1 Episode 4 "Six Paintings, One Frame" Review


Magnum is arrested as the main suspect when a close friend of Higgins, an art connoisseur who recently hired Thomas to test his security, is murdered.

This was a really great episode that had such an interesting story to it but there were also some confusing parts that I'm still trying to work through to make it all make sense. Everything around who where the actual murders and how they were involved was the confusing part because from what I understand right now it went something like this. So the robbers actually worked for the victim and they set things up to make it look like they used Magnum's information to break in but actually, they just walked right in because they worked there. Then they stole six paintings but only actually wanted one which they got a forgery done on that one to return to the police with the other five paintings then they would sell that one painting for millions of dollars, but then one of them ended up turning on the others for unknown reasons and started killing them off even though he still needed some of them. And all of that was done really confusingly so that was hard to follow so I don't even know if everything I said was the true plot. But then the other part that bugged me was how the police treated Magnum where they told him that he was the lead suspect and then they never really did anything to stop him from looking into the case and steal evidence besides just giving him a slap on the wrist. Everything with TC and Rick was a great comedic part to the story where Rick discovered that TC is an art lover and Magnum and Rick never let that go and joke about how they were held in a prison together for 18 months but never figured this side of TC out. Then just overall this was a really great and entertaining episode that was a little confusing to follow but still great to watch.

Magnum PI Season 1 Episode 3 "The Woman Who Never Died" Review


Magnum is hired to find out the true identity of a man's comatose fiancée when he learns that she's had extensive facial surgery.

This was a really great and exciting episode that was really well done and had a very interesting story to it and it really only had a few messy spots to it. The whole investigation into this women was really interesting with the slow reveal of information around how this woman has lied about certain parts of her past life as well as her current life. The reveal of the jewelry robbery this woman was apart of and the fact that she has a daughter were an interesting reason behind her face reconstruction in order to hide from her scary ex-boyfriend. The part that bugged me was who the ex-boyfriend was because it really kind of felt like they rushed to connect a person as the bad guy because the first scene were you meet this guy he truly didn't seem to know this girl and he didn't seem like all that bad of a guy, and then by the end of this episode his personality completely changed and things between his personality through this episode just didn't make a lot of sense. Then Higgins getting involved in this case was interesting with the parts she played in helping Magnum get information and helped keep things calm during the hostage scene. TC was really fun in this episode with him being mad at Magnum for offering free helicopter rides to people who Magnum gets help from instead of Magnum paying these people. And the joke TC make of watching over Magnum and what he is doing was so great with how it was shown. Then Rick was really great with him being there as a bit of a emotional support for Magnum and the fact that this case kind of hits close to home for Magnum. The new police detective Gordon Katsumoto that was introduced in this episode was interesting and I do really like the relationship between him and Magnum more than the relationship between Magnum and Tanaka in the first episode. I'm also really excited to see how that new relationship will be tested in the next episode when Magnum is framed for a crime. Then just overall this was a really great episode and it was so much fun to watch.

Magnum P.I. Season 1 Episode 2 "From the Head Down" Review


Magnum helps a struggling fisherman when his 30-pound tuna worth $350,000 is stolen and discovers that the thief needs Magnum's help too.

This was a really great episode that was so much fun to watch and see how everything turned out. I loved that this episode was willing to make fun of its self for the fact that the plot for this episode is kind of dumb and isn't all that exciting. Then everything around the hunt for the tuna and the discovery that inside of it was a bunch of information that some terrorists needed was an interesting way to make things more exciting. The whole negotiation scene was a little overdone with how the other side was instantly ready to kill Magnum before he even did anything. And who actually ended up taking the tuna from the fisherman and why was interesting because it was a recently fired employee of the fisherman and he was just trying to get his family back from kidnappers and he was using the fish as ransom money. Then the scenes between Magnum and Higgin's were great because of how they interacted with each other and worked to stop the terrorists. Then just overall this was a great episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.

Magnum PI Season 1 Epiosde 1 "I Saw the Sun Rise" Review


After returning home from Afghanistan, Thomas Magnum re-purposes his military skills to become a private investigator in Hawaii.

This was a really great first episode that had a lot of fun moments to it, the only disappointing part was the fact that you could watch the trailer for the show and get the whole story of this first episode. Which is something that kind of annoys me with a lot of trailer for shows because it seems to be a growing pattern where you don't need to watch the first episode just watch the trailer for the show and you get what is going on, and I don't like that I want to be surprised and get to know the characters while watching the show. I did really like how they introduced each other the main characters and how each of them interacts with each other and help out to achieve the goals for the episode. The only character that kind of bugged me was Higgins because partway through the episode her personality just completely changed. Where at the beginning of the episode she was very cold and off-putting to everyone else and then all the sudden she figured out the Magnum lost a girl and she suddenly changes to being relatively nice and wanting to help in any way she can. And it bugged me because that change was just of sudden and drastic and kind of weird. The show did a really good job of keeping a good pace to it with how they got from one event to another. One of the weird thing to me that played into that was how the police department didn't want Magnum involved with the case but when he discovered something they never punished him for going behind there back and a lot of times they even helped him to figure out the clues as to where to go next. I would really like a storyline in the future where Magnum is framed for a crime and his relationship with the police is truly tested. Then just overall this was a really great first episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.

Code Black Season 3 Episode 8 "Home Stays Home" Review


Mario joins Rox and Willis on the scene of a boat crash and, in Center Stage, Leanne works to save a brother and sister who drank boiling water through a straw as part of a challenge. Also, Max's father tells Leanne to keep Ariel away from his son after he finds them kissing.

This was a really great episode with a lot of really entertaining moments to it. Everything around the father and son in the boat accident was really interesting with Willis pushing a lot of his own feeling about his own family onto this father and son so that they don't end up like Willis and his father. I especially loved the ending scene where Willis tells the father to tell the son that he loves him and the father at first brushes that comment off saying that the son knows he loves him but then the more and more he talks he starts to doubt that himself. Mario dealing with his own family troubles in this episode was also great with him also having to face Noa and a death of a patient all in one shift. And Dr. Noa and Dr. Deagio dealing with an outbreak of gonorrhea at a retirement home as a very funny side story for this episode. Leanne dealing with the two kids and their absinthe mother was an interesting story with how Leanne dealt with all of it because at first, they didn't trust the mother but then when the mother managed to spot a change in her daughter health that the doctors didn't, Leanne was willing to work with the mother more and help her to fight for her kids. The whole side story around Ariel and Max was really sweet with how it all turned out and I really loved how they managed to fit Emily into that storyline. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and interesting episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.

Code Black Season 2 Episode 7 "Step Up" Review


Rox decides to make amends with her former step coach when she arrives to Angels Memorial with the local high school step team after a pyramid stunt goes wrong. Also, Noa pleads with Leanne and Campbell to try any other method before performing an emergency hysterectomy on a young teenage girl experiencing complications after giving birth.

This was a really great episode that had so many amazing and fun moments to it. I really loved the moments around Rox and learning a bit more about her rocky past and how she got to where she is. Then everything around the rivaling dance teams seemed a little too overdramatic and made very little sense because why would the other dance team show up to the hospital to randomly fight when none of there team was being treated there. But that being said the two teams final dance battle at the end of this episode was really great. Then everything around Elliot and Willis's father was really great with Willis's father giving Elliot the confidence he needs to remember that he is a good doctor and that he knows what he is doing. Then everything with Noa and Leanne was really great with how everything was handled around the teenage girl who had given birth and the girls mother who didn't want a baby to ruin her daughter's life. Then the slow reveal of the truth about why Noa is so protective of the teenage girl was great with the knowledge being shared that at one point in her life Noa was the teenage girl and things didn't go well for her so she wants a better life for this other girl. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm excited to see what will happen next.

Code Black Season 3 Episode 6 "Hell's Heart" Review


Willis and Rox are called to the scene of a wildfire in the mountains of Los Angeles to tend to the injured firefighters, and they choose to stay to look for a missing young boy who was separated from his father in the chaos.

This was a really entertaining and great episode that had a lot of really amazing moments to it. Everything around Willis and Rox in this episode was really great with how they dealt with the thing that came there way while working in an active forest fire. It was especially great when they managed to get inside a kids mind and figure out where the hiker's son might have gone when the fire started up. And Willis finally opening up more about his relationship with his father and just more of his backstory overall was really interesting to see and I can't wait to see more. Then everything with Leanne and her dealing with her upcoming evaluation about how Ariel is adjusting was interesting with how everything turned out. The relationship between Ariel and Mario in this episode was really great with Mario learning that he needs to be there to accept that Ariel will make mistakes and he can help her through them. Everything with Eliot was interesting with him doubting his skills and always needing a second opinion even though he knows what to do and that hesitation is putting his patients lives at risk. Angus having to step up and take over because Campbell had family issues was really entertaining to see how Angus reacted when all the stress was put on him. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what will happen next.

Code Black Season 3 Episode 5 "Cabin Pressure" Review


Over the radio, Leanne and Jesse talk a young girl through how to use the supplies on board a small plane to build a makeshift defibrillator when her mom, the pilot, loses consciousness. Also, Rox and Willis are taken hostage at gunpoint while on their way to meet the plane at the landing site. Julitta Scheel, Marcia Gay Harden’s daughter, stars as Ruby Harris, the young girl on the plane.

This was a really amazing and interesting episode that had a lot of great moments to it. Everything around that girl in the plane with her mother was just amazing with the doctor having to teach the girl everything she needed to do in order to save her mother and get both of them to the ground safely. Especially when it came to the doctor have to create a defibrillator out of the thing that the girl had on the plane with her. Then everything with Willis and Rox was interesting with them being held hostage by a man whose girlfriend got shot in a robbery gone wrong. It was especially great with how Diego got dragged into the situation and was the one to help Willis and Rox to get out of it. Everything with Campbell and Angus was interesting with one of there patients refusing to let Campbell touch him and Angus having to deal with that. Then just overall this was a really interesting and entertaining episode to watch and see how everything played out.

Code Black Season 3 Episode 4 "The Same as Air" Review


Willis and Rox arrive at the scene of a road rage accident. Elliot doubts his ability as a doctor when he's sued for his role in the death of a SWAT officer. Leanne discovers Ariel on an ice cream date with a young patient at the hospital.

This was a really great episode that had so many entertaining moments to it and it was so interesting to watch. Everything around the car accident was really interesting with the to main people in the accident going back and forth about whose fault it is and there is a slow reveal about what is actually going on. The moments between Willis and the oldest daughter in one of the cars was great with him slowly breaking down her walls and getting to the truth that she has been protecting her family from her stepfather's rage for a long time. Then the ending for this family in the car accident was so great with the oldest daughter finally standing up and saying that the stepfather is not allowed back in there house and when the mother sees the full extent of the stepfather's rage she steps back from defending him and protects her daughters. Then the other victim in the car accident who didn't make it was really sad with the moments between Jesse and the victim's wife, but it did end on a bit of a happy note with the wife discovering that she's pregnant. Everything around Elliot was interesting with him dealing with the stress of being sued and it's not the greatest of situations because Diego is doing very little to try and help him. The moments with Campbell were great with his ex-wife showing up and wanting to be a part of there daughters life again and in that, you really get to see every side of Campbell. Everything with Noa, Mario, and the drug-addicted patient was so amazing with how it brought back the same patient from the first season that Mario treated and how Mario helping this guy caused him to spiral back into his addiction. The ending moments between Mario and this patient was also amazing with bringing up the idea that if someone has an addiction and you know them it is seen as an illness but if it is someone and you don't know them it is seen as a problem that they need to get over, then Mario and this guy deciding to work together to help keep each other sober was such a touching and sweet moment. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what the next episode will bring.

Code Black Season 3 Episode 3 "La Familia" Review


Jesse is in denial when his brother arrives at Angels Memorial in bad shape after being pinned in a warehouse collapse and further tests reveal he has advanced congestive heart failure. Also, Willis opens up to Rox about his brother who was killed in Afghanistan.

This was a really interesting and great episode that had a lot of really entertaining moments to it. I did really enjoy the moments between Willis and Rox and through their conversations, we finally get to learn a bit more about Willis's past mostly about his brother. Then everything with Jesse in this episode was interesting and really great with them finally introducing more of Jesse's family and seeing how that whole family dynamic works. Everything around Jesse and his brother was interesting with Jesse choosing to ignore the diagnosis that his brother is given because of the fact that he doesn't want to believe that his brother is dying and because of that he refuses to tell his brother and the rest of his family until it's almost too late. Then the whole dynamic around Jesse's and his nieces and his brother having a new girlfriend that he's been keeping secret was interesting with how they chose to approach the whole thing. Then the ending was really bittersweet with the whole entire family including the new girlfriend finally getting together to sort of worship Jesse's brother one last time. Then everything around Leanne and Ariel was interesting with them finally having the conversation on the fact that they are a family and that nothing is going to break that. Then the moments between Noa and Diego were interesting and I'm very curious to see what's all going to happen in their relationship going forward especially with Mario also being involved. Then the moments with Angus was interesting with him taking more of the pressure of being a sergeant and learning to accept a lot of the pressure and instructions given by Campbell. Then just overall this was a really great and entertaining episode I'm really interested to see what will happen next.

Code Black Season 3 Episode 2 "Better Angels" Review


A patient who is a self-proclaimed psychic envisions the staff singing and dancing. Willis and Rox put their lives in danger to rescue a congressman and his staffer from a multi-car accident.

This was a really weird but okay episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. I was not a big fan of the random musical numbers and dance numbers throughout this episode because yes it was fun but it just was extremely random and unnecessary whenever it showed up and I feel like they could have done something different to show this woman's visions besides the random musical numbers. I did like the moments with Willis and Rox and the moments around the congressman and his receptionist and the slow truth coming out about what's going on between them and what happened during the car crash. It was also just really great how Leanne and Willis were on the receptionist side and help make sure to get the best care she could under all the pressure that she was under because of the congressman. Then the moments with Mario and Angus and the woman who could possibly predict the future we're fun but I wish there would have been a bit more of them especially moments between Mario and Angus and their belief or disbelief of psychics. Then the moments with Noa and the one patient was interesting with her having this strong belief and fascination with him and her just really showing him that even with his injuries his career might be over but not his story or something like that she kept cheering him on throughout the episode. Then just overall this was a really interesting episode that did have some really fun moments to it.

Code Black Season 3 Episode 1 "Third Year" Review


A drug bust-turned-shootout tests the bravery of all doctors as they race to save a girl in the crossfire. Willis shifts his career focus to field medicine. Leanne faces the new but tragically familiar challenges that parenting presents.

This was a fairly okay and great first episode that had a lot of really great moments to it. I really don't know how I feel about the new first years because they are so drastic and over-the-top and just don't seem to fit in with everything that's going on. Now when it comes to Pepper I might grow to like her more once I get to know her more because the fact that she didn't get the best of light in this episode. But then Diego was just really kind of annoying and didn't seem to take his job all that seriously so unless something drastic happens to change his way of thinking I don't know if I'll care much for him. Then everything around Dr. Willis was interesting with him working in the field and making some very drastic decisions that put a lot of people's lives in danger but in the end, also saved a bunch of lives. Everything around the little girl, her father, and uncle was interesting with the connections back to Dr. Willis which makes me curious of which person Willis was whether he was a drug addict or the brother who gave up on the drug addict so I'm very curious and hopeful that they'll go more into detail with that in the future. Then everything around Mario and Noa was interesting with them working on trying to find a way to split up their lives as a couple and work colleagues and then coming into problems with that when they don't agree on a diagnosis for a patient. Then everything with Elliot was interesting with him being the one that right away ended up being in charge of some of the first years and him learning that he is their teacher and that he needs to be the one to watch over everything that they do when they are under his wing. Then everything with Angus was interesting and I'm really excited for him taking on the new role as possibly becoming a sergeant because I like the idea of them separating off the group more because otherwise that's a lot of people in one ER so separating him off with Campbell I think is a very smart move if they do do it right and I hope and believe that they will. Then just overall this was a really exciting and fun episode and I'm really curious to see where they'll go next.

Scorpion Season 4 Episode 13 "The Bunker Games" Review


Team Scorpion is locked in a doomsday bunker with artificial intelligence bent on killing them.

This was a very interesting and entertaining episode that did a really nice job of doing a lot with a little. It was interesting and kind of annoying to see all the moments with Toby in this episode and his jealousy over his enemy in his enemy's success caused a bunch of problems for the rest of the team. But on the other hand, it was interesting to see a bit more into Toby's past and how Happy reacted to meeting Toby's ex-girlfriend and Happy comparing herself to the ex-girlfriend. Then all the different ways that the teams came up with to trick the AI that was keeping them locked up was really interesting to see. Especially in the moments with Sylvester trying to trick the AI by coming up with a riddle that the AI would have to focus all its power on trying to solve. Then the moments with Cabe and Paige where interesting with them being outside the house and trying to help the team but they're not the smart members of the team so they have to come up with other ways to work around the AI's plans. Then it was interesting to see how Toby's enemy reacted when things start to go south very fast and how the truth eventually came out that Toby is actually living a far happier life than his enemy or his ex-girlfriend is. Then how the team actually managed to escape the house and stop it from causing a whole bunch of other problems was interesting once everything was set in place and worked out. And just overall this was a really interesting and kind of fun episode to watch and see how everything played out.
