New Amsterdam Season 1 Episode 8 "Three Dots" Review


A patient's treatment plan takes an unexpected turn when Max gets overly invested. Meanwhile, Reynolds celebrates his birthday with some help from the hospital and Kapoor grapples with a case that hits close to home.


This was a really great episode that had a bunch of really well-done scenes and each of the different stories told in this episode or so well done in really well detailed and had a good beginning and ending to each of them. Everything with Max and him dealing with this patient who has some form of cancer and has opportunity to get this surgery but it is much more likely that this patient will die on the operating table so Max dealing with this patient refusing to get the surgery and rather choosing to live a rather short but less painful life was an interesting thing to see how Max grapple that. And just that whole story told by this Rabbi about all these different comparisons to the Bible and all these different stories and stuff was really interesting to see how those comparisons were made. I'm still very confused and somewhat uncertain about the ending for Max we're through all this he decided to go with experimental surgery to cure cancer instead of the regular way and that just felt like a sudden turn that didn't quite fit his character in my opinion. Then everything with Dr. Reynolds and him dealing with not wanting to celebrate his birthday did make for some fun scenes but that was probably the weaker of the stories in this episode but it still did show some more of his character growth and getting to know his character more which was really interesting and entertaining to see. The moments with Dr. Kapoor were probably some of my favorite moments in this episode because his whole storyline revolves around this patient who has depression and her Asian heritage doesn't really believe in mental illness so they are struggling to grapple with how to help her when they don't necessarily believe that she's sick. And Kapoor dealing with those similar problems because he's someone who feels the same way and him going to this patient's mother and sort of working through how to approach this and how to truly understand that this is an illness that needs to be cured was really interesting to see. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode and I'm so excited to see what they're going to do next especially with how this episode ended for Max.

Manifest Season 1 Episode 10 "Crosswinds" Review


Michaela's next-level callings are accompanied by hallucinations. Ben exploring Michaela's calling leads him to a new alliance and a powerful new adversary.
This was a very interesting episode that took a bunch of different directions and did a good job of setting up for where the story is going to lead with all the mystery surrounding the missing plane. Everything with Michaela in this episode was interesting with her looking into these weird callings she has that are going completely overboard, versus the weird voices and visions that she's had in the past and her trying to link it to different things. And she eventually makes this discovery around one of the missing but now found passengers were interesting with how she took it when this passenger started talking and her trying to figure out his whole back story. Then everything with the missing passengers that have now been found was great with them still being comatose and Saanvi sort of working to find a way to care for them until they are stable enough to take care of themselves again. Then Autumn Cox coming in and working against Ben and Michaela but also somewhat for them was interesting with how she initially wanted to get away and be friends with them but this mysterious Major and all the forces bring her back in to be their enemy was fun to see what's going to happen there once the truth comes out. Then everything with Jared was just odd with him still trying to grapple whether or not he loves Michaela or Loudes more. Then just overall this was a really fun and entertaining episode and I'm really excited to see what they're going to do next.

Midnight Texas Season 2 Episode 6 "No More Mr. Nice Kai" Review


An unknown force threatens to reveal all the Midnighters' secrets; Manfred's suspicion towards Kai intensifies; Fiji embraces Dark Magic to save Bobo.
This was a really interesting and somewhat of a fun episode that had a really great concept to it and the way they chose to create so much chaos in the town was just really great. Everything with Fiji finally embracing her dark magic was so much fun with how much her personality changed and how cunning and clever she became. The return of Creek was great with her and Manfred trying to work out whether or not they should move on from one another. Looking into if Kai had anything to do with the secrets coming out and what he is doing with all these stored up supernatural powers made for some really great scenes. I especially loved the scene where Manfred and Joe confront the head in Kai's office. The love triangle coming out between Joe, Walker, and Chuy was so much fun to see Walker and Chuy going after one another and Joe working to try and keep Chuy calmed down. Then the truth coming out that all the chaos going on was because of a Trickster was such a great reveal and made for a really great moment when the whole town finally teamed up against him. Then just overall this was a really fun and great episode to watch and see how everything played out.

Manifest Season 1 Episode 9 "Dead Reckoning" Review



When Ben and Michaela put everything on the line to save the other missing passengers, the mission goes horribly awry and not everyone makes it out alive.

This was a really great and interesting episode that had a very great storyline to it that was great to see play out and bring up the tension. All the steps that everyone went through to finally uncover were the missing passengers are being held and how everyone played into things was great to see everyone working together. I did have a problem with how heavily Jared is following Michaela and wouldn't really let her do anything on her own. Seeing Ben and Vance working together was great to see that Vance truly is a good guy just trying to figure everything out. Then Cal showing up and helping everyone figure things out because of his visions was really great especially with the moment with him making the comment the Ben is the only one who can guide everyone to safety was weird but great with Ben seeing a path that no one else could see. Which then lead to the other group that wasn't with Ben getting lost and hurt. Killing off Vance was surprising and I'm very curious to see what they might happen now that he is no longer there as a higher up to help. And I'm also curious to see what might happen to all these missing passengers now that they are saved but still comatose. Then overall this was a really great episode and I'm so excited to see what will happen next.

Midnight Texas Season 2 Episode 5 "Drown the Sadness In Chardonnay" Review


Lem makes a shocking decision; Olivia's past comes back to haunt her; Fiji seeks outside help from her fellow Light Witches; A suicide pits Manfred and Kai against one another.

This was a really confusing episode that was entertaining to watch and had some good moments to it. Everything with Lem in this episode was just odd with his decision to stop being a vampire so that he can have a family with Olivia and everything else that he wants. Then everything with Olivia in this episode was just weird with her finally confronting her father and finding out that he is still stuck living in the past to live where he felt happiest. How Olivia got stuck in her fathers trap and how Lem and others got her out of it was a little confusing, rushed, and felt like they were trying to wrap up everything they set up.

Fiji's parts in this episode were great with the truth coming out about her curse and why she is the way she is. That truth is that she is actually a dark witch and not a light one was a great reveal but a little confusing. Because why would that be a secret to her and if her own family didn't know how could they not. I feel the difference between a dark witch and light witch should be easily seen so it is known. Then it was also confusing how Fiji was all the sudden a master at dark magic once she realized she had it.

Then the moments with Manfred and Patients really felt like it should have been its own episode because it also felt a little rushed when trying to compete with the Olivia storyline. I did enjoy Manfred trying to figure out the mystery of why this girl killed her self and figuring out that she was actually murdered by her friend. And how all these things lead back to the idea of no one can escape from Kai was great with how it is becoming known that Manfred and Patients are in a relationship. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was a little hard to follow but it had a nice couple of storyline to it.

Manifest Season 1 Episode 8 "Point of No Return" Review



Ben forms an unlikely partnership with Vance in a high-stakes race to locate the missing passengers; Michaela helps a suicidal passenger; Cal goes back to school.

This was a really entertaining episode that had a good storyline to it and it was interesting to see how everything turned out. The moments between Vance and Ben were interesting with Ben continuing to try and locate the facility that the missing passengers are being held at. It was especially great in how Ben gathered information and what other passengers were willing to help Ben and Vance out. Then it was interesting to see how much other groups are hiding from Vance and the NSA. Everything with Michaela and her adventure through this episode was interesting with her finding a possible connection between telling people about the callings and those same people ending up dead shortly after. How Michaela and Ben reacted to this news and what they did to protect those they care about and working to figure out if trouble is coming or not was just all really interesting. Then Cal going back to school was just really sweet with some of his old friends gathering up to have a good time with him again. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm so excited to see what will happen next. 

Midnight Texas Season 2 Episode 4 "I Put a Spell on You" Review


The Midnighters join forces to protect a weretiger; Fiji takes extreme measures to save Bobo; Patience and Manfred bond over relationship troubles.

This was an okay episode that had some good moments to it but it did get a little long and confusing at points. The whole story with the baby weretiger and Olivia working to take care of it and truly understanding what it's like to have a normal family did make for an interesting storyline for this episode. But everything else around this baby weretiger was really confusing where the mother to this weretiger was looking for the Rev but it was never explained how she knew the Rev or why he was the one she went to for help. Then the whole weretiger family tree between the mother, grandmother, and father of this baby weretiger made no sense to me because they had it as the father being weretiger but never really explaining what the mother or grandmother was besides being the owners of this fighting ring of supernatural creatures. So then the confusing part to me is, did the mother go against the grandmother's wishes and have a child with this weretiger that she was imprisoning or did the grandmother pushed the mother to have a child with the weretiger. Then everything with Fiji was interesting with her wiping his memory of everything that happened between the two of them but things not working out because the fact of their love and attraction being too strong that no magic can stop it so the ending of her turning him into a dog was interesting to see. Then everything with Manfred and Patience was okay but a little confusing and felt a bit like it was adding more drama than what was necessary. Then just overall this was a really fun episode that had a good storyline to it, it just felt like they were missing pieces to the story.

New Amsterdam Season 1 Episode 7 "Domino Effect" Review


With a big domino transplant procedure on the line, Max must decide if he can be present in the hospital while also dealing with his illness. Meanwhile, a bond with a patient makes Bloom consider her personal life and Iggy makes progress on a long-standing case.

This was a really great episode that had some entertaining moments to it and set something up for what is to come. Everything around the transplant chain was interesting with one of the people stepping out and others not wanting to step forth to keep the chain alive. And that slight bit of selfishness was really great were they all brought up why should they help someone else if there own loved one wouldn't get help. Max just working overtime to try and keeping this going and finding a new donor was all just interesting to see. Then the storyline around this little girl with failing lungs because of where she grew up was some of my favorite moments of this episode. Just seeing Bloom relating to this little girl and really being there for her as she is afraid of everything that is going on. And the sudden realization that the father is not a match to save his daughter but he is a match to save transplant chain. That lead to one of the best moments in this episode where all these people stepped up to be tested to save this little girl because her father was willing to step in and help all these other people. Then Iggy working and helping Jenna to adjust to the idea of moving into a new foster family and being there for her every step of the way was just really sweet to see. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and sweet episode to see how everything turned out.

Manifest Season 1 Episode 7 "S.N.A.F.U." Review



 Michaela tries to make sense of her newest calling; Ben goes to risky lengths to investigate the whereabouts of 11 missing Flight 828 passengers.

This was a really interesting episode that had some good moments to it. Everything with Ben was interesting with his new job that is actually him secretly looking for more information on the missing passengers. Just seeing Ben forming all these relationships with his coworkers just to get information out of them was really great. Then finally seeing Vance joining in with the investigation and working with Ben is something I’m really excited to see. Michaela’s moments in this episode was really great with her dealing with this shooting that took place with the only witness not wanting to work with the detectives. And Michaela’s whole speech on what revenge is really like and all her work to stop this kid was really great. Then the truth is revealed about Michaela’s connection to this kid and really felt like a great way to wrap up Michaela’s whole dead friend storyline. Then just overall this was a really great episode that was so much fun to watch.

Midnight Texas Season 2 Episode 3 "To Witch Hell and Back" Review




Manfred helps Fiji discover what’s trying to kill Bobo; Rev struggles with his past; Joe embraces his new ‘night job’.

This was a really interesting episode that had some good moments to it as well as some kind of confusing moments to it. Everything with the Rev was interesting with him going to Kai to get his Weretiger removed and learning how to move on. I was really saddened by this part in the episode because we finally got a bit of the Rev’s backstory just to have him leave, and I hate how many of the characters are leaving. Then the moments with Joe were great with him demon fighting again but it was also disappointing with him cheating on Chuy and I really hope that something doesn’t happen to Chuy once Joe’s new “friend” figures out what Chuy is. Fiji looking into what was happening to her and Bobo did lead to some great moments but it was also a little confusing because I thought that Fiji already knew about the curse on her family. However, it was really fun to see Manfred go to witch hell t help Fiji and everything he had to do to not get permanently stuck there was really great. Then just overall this was a really fun episode to watch and see how everything turned out.

Manifest Season 1 Epiosde 6 "Off Radar" Review


Cal wakes with a life-threatening fever; Ben and Michaela look for a missing Flight 828 passenger and discover more than they bargained for.

This was a really interesting but also kind of confusing episode that was still really cool to see how everything went and turned out. Everything with Cal in this episode was really interesting with him having this shared connection with this guy that is among the missing passengers. The part that kind of bugged me was with Grace and when she finally got Ben to admit what has been going on with his and she chose not to believe him and instead thought of it as him looking for an answer to what was going on with Cal. And that was just really weird to me how quickly Grace chose to brush Ben off. My favorite moments in this episode revolved around Michaela and Jared looking into these black sites and just how they went about sneaking in was really fun. Then what all went down when things started to be made more public was interesting to see what happened when Vance started looking into things. Then just overall this was an okay episode with some good moments to it.

Midnight Texas Season 2 Episode 2 "The Monster of the Week Is Patriarchy" Review


Manfred investigates a gruesome murder in the hotel; Lem and Olivia's psychic connection drives a wedge between them; Bobo's life is put in danger.

This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that continued to do a good job of getting into the motions of what makes Midnight. Everything with Manfred and the hotel was interesting with him working to figure out what these murderous ghosts want and what he can do to free them. I really loved the moment where Manfred has both of the ghosts inside him explaining their sides of the story of what lead to there deaths and why are they angry. Then everything with Lem and Olivia was interesting with this eager girl wanting to become a vampire and finding a way to make that happen by tricking Lem. Then just the whole hunt down moment with Lem and Olivia was great with how it was all shown and done with Lem having to use the little information he gathered to find where the girl might go next. Then the discovery that Kai can remove supernatural forces from people makes me really curious to see who might choose to be human again and who might fight against Kai because of what he can do. Then the moments with Fiji and Bobo were okay with them slowly discovering that something is going on but it kind of felt unimportant for the grander scheme of what is going on. Then just overall this was a really fun episode and I'm curious to see what will happen next.

New Amsterdam Season 1 Episode 6 "Anthropocene" Review


The pressure is on as Max takes on his first annual fundraising gala at the hospital and emotions are high as some of the doctor's families join them for the event. Iggy struggles to break difficult news to his daughter and Bloom and Reynolds continue to deal with the fallout of their argument. Meanwhile, Kapoor and Dr. Sharpe work together to find out what is making a father and son duo so sick.

This was a really interesting episode that didn't have a lot to it, it was mostly about just a lot of small moments playing out simultaneously. Everything with Max was nice with how his work was somewhat of divided in this episode. When it came to the fundraiser it was weird how they chose to make Max's secret weapon a mystery when it was easily Georgia, it was nice to see how Georgia did her work to help Max though where she showed him off to donors by stating how instead of being there talking to people Max is out there being a doctor. Then everything with Max and Reynolds was some of the better parts of this episode where they are dealing with cases at the prison where prisoners are being drugged to be more compliant. And how Reynolds found all this out and got evidence together to hold the right people responsible was really great rather than seeing him get into fights he didn't need to which was his first actions. Then Bloom setting up Reynolds with someone new was an interesting way for her to get over him and know that he won't be coming back for a while. Then Iggy dealing with his family was some nice small moments in this episode where he had to explain to his daughter that there normally is not the same normal for others and how that all works and that was just really interesting to see. Then the bigger side story with Kapoor and Sharpe was a very entertaining story with this father and son having this mysterious illness that no test can figure out. Then the truth of what this illness was and why it was hard to find was really interesting where it was an older version of a common illness that the machines couldn't pick up because the machines were so up to date with the newer stains they forgot the older ones. Then just overall this was a really nice episode with a bunch of small interesting stories.

Midnight Texas Season 2 Episode 1 "Head Games" Review


A new hotel rocks the Midnighters stability; Manfred deals with the consequences of 'taking-in' six demons.

This was a really great and interesting first episode that had so many great moments and it did a nice job of setting up some events to come. Everything around the new hotel was really interesting with the Midnighters not being sure what to think about the new owners especially when it is revealed that one of the owners Kai has the ability to heal people. Then the whole relationship problems in this episode was a little weird and boring where Olivia and Lamb are dealing with there phycological connection getting in the way of them being there own person and Bobo and Fiji dealing with what to do in their blossoming relationship. Then everything with Manfred in this episode was some of the best moments where he is dealing with these weird blackout sleepwalking moments where it appears like he is planning on killing his friends. The return of Manfred's grandmother was also a nice touch in this episode to have someone on his side helping him out and the eventual truth that she was just a hallucination due to the sickness affecting him was so great. But I do wish that his grandmother would come back somehow because she was really great last season with her commentary that helped out Manfred ever now and again. And the actual thing affecting Manfred was interesting where he had this weird almost darkness cancer that was growing in him as an after effect of taking in all those demons and the cancer is spreading quickly and will soon kill him. Then how that rest of the Midnighters actually figured out what was going on with Manfred and how they managed to find a way to help him was all really well done in how it was shown. Then I'm really curious to see what will happen now that Creek has left because for the most part she was the only real human in the town and that was really entertaining to me. And just overall this was a really great first episode and I'm really excited to see what will happen next.

New Amsterdam Season 1 Episode 5 "Cavitation" Review


A journalist visits New Amsterdam to shadow Max and learns about the hospital. Bloom and Reynolds have a major disagreement after she makes a call against protocol and Kapoor deals with issues from his past.

This was a really great episode that had some very good moments to it and t was interesting to see how everything turned out. I really loved how this episode started and set things up by making it seem like this episode was going to end on a bad note which more or less it kind of did but not in the way I initially thought it would. Everything with the journalist was interesting with Max not telling him what story Max wanted him to tell but a verity of stories keep popping up that are not the stories Max wants to be told. Then the truth coming out that Max was the one who hired the journalist and not the head of the hospital was an interesting moment especially with Max saying it was because Max only trusted him to tell the truth Max wanted out there. Then everything around Bloom and her choosing to perform a surgery that was illegal for her to perform because it was such a precise procedure that one wrong move could kill someone was interesting with how it affected her relationship with Reynolds but also kind of weird because she didn't seem to get punished for her action because it turns out she didn't get it wrong. Then everything with Frome was interesting with him working with one of the shooting victims aunts and him slowly discovering that he shouldn't be focusing on the unconscious victim's mental health right now but the mental health of the aunt. Then the other victims bother was so well done and interesting with him being treated with a lot of hostility at first but then his whole story and what happened to his bother was probably my favorite moments in this episode. Then the moments with Kapoor in this episode were good to finally meet his son and see a small bit of the conflict between them that drew them apart. Then just overall this was a really good episode that was interesting to watch.  

Manifest Season 1 Episode 5 "Connecting Flights" Review


Stories unfold for those left behind in the aftermath of Flight 828's disappearance; Cal takes Ben on a mysterious adventure.

This was a really interesting episode that had a lot of really good moments to it. I really enjoyed this episode focused on what life was like for the family and friends of those who went missing on Flight 828. Everything with Grace and Olive was well done with them telling the story of how they dealt with there loss and how Grace started to move on with Danny and Olive refusing to believe that her brother and father were dead. I do wish they would have shown more of Olive's "bad attitudes" because the last episode they made a big deal out of Olive being a trouble and rambunctious teen but all they really showed in this episode was that she was having a hard time getting over her families deaths and she didn't much care for Grace's new boyfriend. Then I also enjoyed seeing how Jared and Lourdes got together because of there shared loss and it was fun to see how even Michaela's parents were okay with Jared choosing to move on. Then the moments in current time with Jared were interesting with him dealing with the consequences of the last episode and Michaela and other are trying to convince him to tell the truth but him not willing to let Michaela take the fall. Then the moments with Ben and Cal were great with Ben deciding to ignore the voice in his head and making all the choices in his day out with Cal by a flip of a coin. Then how those coin flips and voice all leading to some truths of what is going on with Cal and how "everything is connected" was a really great way to bring Ben back into the world he was trying to escape from. Then just overall this was a really great episode and I'm interested to see what will happen next with it being reviled that Cal is more connected with the truth of what happened to them.

New Amsterdam Season 1 Episode 4 "Boundaries" Review


When Max volunteers New Amsterdam to take over for a short-staffed hospital nearby, things get chaotic quickly. Iggy has a crisis of conscience after receiving the news that funding for a garden has been granted and an eager resident learns a secret about Dr. Bloom.

This was a really great episode that did a really great job with organized chaos and keeping everything in each individual story so that it makes sense. I enjoyed everything with Max and him trying to help this homeless women and her bother outside of the hospital as well as trying to run a hospital after volunteering to help out a neighboring hospital. Then Dr. Bloom was great in this episode with her being in charge of all the chaos because Max is missing for a good part of the episode. And the revile that her resident has been accidentally taking her ADHD medication was great with her figuring out why he is acting so hipper and up for anything. Dr. Kapoor was the fun part of this episode with all the other doctor weighing in on whether or not he should give these treats he made to the nice coffee maker who helped him in the last episode. Dr. Sharpe was a great side story in this episode outside of all the chaos going on with everyone else because her story was just about her having to tell this child that her cancer is back and trying to explain to this little girl what death is like. And I really enjoyed that with how she went about explaining it in a way that comforted both the little girl and her parents. Dr. Frome was great in this episode with him dealing with this influx of patients needing entertainment and he doesn't want to open the newly funded garden to them because it is being funded by a soda company. So him dealing with that conflict of what to do was interesting to see with how each side of that conflict was presented. Then the moments between him and Jemma were great with the possibility of Jemma getting placed in a new home and Jemma being hesitant about that. Dr. Reynolds was interesting in this episode with him being backed up on surgeries to perform but he is hesitant to give some of the surgeries to his resident because he is afraid of something going wrong. But it was great by the end of the episode where he was forced to be more open and the way he went about doing that really showed the growth of him as a character. Then just overall this was a really entertaining and well-done episode.         

Manifest Season 1 Episode 4 "Unclaimed Baggage" Review



Saanvi enlists Ben's help in uncovering a secret about the plane; Michaela begins to question the nature of the callings when one goes horribly awry.

This was a really great episode that had a lot of really great moments to it and it was really interesting to see how everything played out. Everything with Ben was interesting with him continuing to try and grow a relationship with Olive and her not knowing where they stand. Then the scene with Ben finally meeting Danny was a great way to finally introduce Danny and it really shows the divide in the family with how much Danny has always been there for Olive. Then the moments with Michaela were interesting with one of the voices in her head finally going wrong and she ends up outing a major undercover agent. Then the fact that Jared took the blame for her was interesting and I wonder what she is going to do to save him. I really enjoyed the ending scene with Jared having this map that laid out all the locations of Michaela's odd behaviors. Then the shared visions between Saanvi and Michaela were interesting in how they were similar and how they were different with Saanvi seeing a woman who was soaking wet and she followed the wet footprints to where she needed to go. Then Michaela seeing a stone angel giving her a quest to save him also leading her to where she needed to go eventually catching up with Saanvi. The whole story around the stowaway was so great with the flight attendant bringing him from Jamaica after he spoke out against the government. But he was a stowaway so when they landed he had to hide and escape from the authorities so he didn't know that they were 4 years in the future and when a stranger found him they thought he was crazy which is so sad that he was hospitalized and heavily drugged because he was uninformed about what is going on. The whole escape to save the stowaway from the NSA was really great with how they all barely missed each other. Then overall this was a really great and I'm really curious to see what will happen next with how this episode ended.

New Amsterdam Season 1 Episode 3 "Every Last Minute" Review



Bloom treats an inmate from Rikers who is in a difficult position; Max gives a wealthy donor something to think about when he shows her the hospital; Reynolds begins to build his department; Sharpe battles skepticism from potential patients.

This was a really interesting and great episode that was a little weird in its storytelling but it still had some good moments to it. Everything with Max in this episode was interesting with him trying to balance his family life with his work life and how he dealt with the fact that he might lose his child forever. Then the inmate from Rikers was a great addition to the show with her being there as sort of another side to Max with him helping to deal with this other baby making him think about losing his own. Then the wealthy donor was an interesting addition to this episode with how she was very similar to Max but her husband was very selfish and loved money so she has to decide if she wants to follow her dead husband's wishes or if she would use the money to do what she wants. Then the moments with Dr. Sharpe was interesting with her dealing with patients that don't want to work with her because they don't feel she will be there for them to help. Then Dr. Kapoor and Dr. Frome were amazing in this episode with them dealing with a patient that believes that he is dead. And it was so interesting to see how that truth was slowly reviled and what things were shown to prove what is going on with this guy. Then just overall this was a really amazing and fun episode that had some very interesting moments to it.

Manifest Season 1 Episode 3 "Turbulence" Review


Ben and Michaela investigate a shocking murder in fear that it's connected to Flight 828.

This was a great episode that was really interesting to see how everything played out, but it was also kind of messy by the end with how they chose to wrap everything up. Everything with Ben dealing with trying to protect his family while also trying to fit into Grace's life was interesting with how he reacted when things went wrong. Then the relationship between Cal and Olive was really great with them dealing with the concept of them being twins but not exactly because they now are not the same age, then the added pressure that Olive is now dating Cal's old best friend. The moments with Michaela were really great with them finally showing a bit more of what happened to her and her friend during the car crash. I especially love them showing the scene where it made it really obvious that Michaela had no choice to drive that night because her friend wouldn't wait for an uber and was going to drive if Michaela didn't and her friend was far drunker then she was. Then it was so well done in the scene where Michaela was able to get over her fear of driving in order to save her dead friend's mother. The whole murder sequence was really weird with how they made everything flow from who was accused of the murder, who was the main suspect, and who actually committed the crime. Where the guy accused was just someone who was obsessed with the passengers on Flight 828 and he was just there to save her life after he heard the gunshot. Then the husband of the women who was murdered seemed like a major suspect with the way he was acting but he had such a good alibi he couldn't have committed the crime. Then the maid being the actual murder because she was a scorned lover was the weirdest part because they did little set that up to make that part make sense because she was in love with the murdered woman's husband and they were happy together until the women came back and ruined their happiness and that is why the maid murdered her that is just a weird explanation. And I was really disappointed that they didn't go into more detail with the shadow person that was set up in the last episode. And then just overall this was a really great episode that had some good moments to it.
