  • wiki: link

The discovery of a Marine staff sergeant’s body in a junk yard leads NCIS into an investigation into the world of underground street racing on the island where the Marine spent his spare time. While early evidence points to a jealous ex-boyfriend (Robby Ramos) who runs a chop shop, but Ernie (Jason Antoon) does a little digging leading to the true killer (Tristyn Lau). The B-stories delve into Alex (Kian Talan) hiding a new romance from his mother and a potential hiccup for Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami) and Whistler (Tori Anderson) which is mostly the series manufacturing drama where none really exists.

In an episode that features a literal maze, Kinsey (Emilia Jones) and Tyler (Connor Jessup) do their best to not let Gabe/Dodge (Griffin Gluck) in on the fact that they’ve uncovered his secret or that Duncan‘s (Aaron Ashmore) memory has been restored. Well, batting 500 isn’t bad. Holding back until they can formulate a plan, the discovery of the Chain Key pushes Erin (Joy Tanner) into taking a big risk that allows Dodge to claim another victim, pick up another key, and convince the Lockes that they need to set a trap for their enemy.

Both Lucifer‘s (Tom Ellis) attempts to earn the support of his siblings and the murder of the week, and how it relates into Michael‘s bigger plans, take a backseat to the death of a major character in “Is This Really How It’s Going To End?!” Even after Lucifer and Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) manage to carve out a bit of retribution, the loss of Dan (Kevin Alejandro) is felt by all. Twisting into the wound is the discovery by Lucifer and Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) that Dan’s soul didn’t make it to Heaven and that the mercenaries who killed him did so while looking for the final piece of A blade to deliver to Michael.

Rick and Morty – Night Family

  • Title: Rick and Morty – Night Family
  • wiki: link

Rick and Morty pulls out a horror episode based on the family’s misuse of alien technology in “Night Family” which allows the family’s night selves to do work their sleeping selves either don’t have time for or feel is beneath them. After things inevitably go wrong, with the interesting twist that it’s Summer (Spencer Grammer) who is leading the revolution, the night selves attempt to take over the waking lives of the family as well leading to a crazy episode for control. I’m a little surprised the episode wasn’t saved for Halloween, especially with the spooky-style intro and closing of the episode.
