  • Title: Will Trent – You’re the Worst Person in the World / One of Us Now
  • IMDb: link | IMDb: link

Playing off a traumatized Will Trent  (Ramón Rodríguez) dealing with the events of “Best of Your Recollection,” we get a two-part episode that centers around a series of mysterious deaths that link up to a cult known as Olas Collective. Before getting proper approval, Will attends one of their meetings opening up to an edited version of events which gives him an opportunity to go undercover into a wilderness compound and search for both a killer and a stolen baby (all while getting the opportunity to not have to deal with his everyday life).

Doctor Odyssey – Spring Break

  • Title: Doctor Odyssey – Spring Break
  • IMDb: link

The medical emergencies are mostly minor early on during Spring Break Week as Max (Joshua Jackson) spends most of his time deflecting the attention of three persistent young women (Paris Jackson, Ava Phillippe, and Charlotte Lawrence), although that eventually takes a dark turn with some spiked drugs and a case of scuba diving gone wrong, helping a young man with an embarrassing PGAD condition, and Avery (Phillipa Soo) taking interest in an overly-studious passenger (Kathryn Newton) whose mostly minor symptoms become hard to diagnosis.

The rape and murder of a sailor brings Tish‘s (Tonantzin Carmelo) case back in prominence as Franks (Kyle Schmid) wrongly assumes it’s the same man. Both cases eventually work themselves out with NIS solving the relatively simple case of the new killing, but in learning about Tish they decide to help Franks find the evidence needed to put the FBI’s latest suspect away. Gibbs (Austin Stowell), with his own history of vengeance and revenge, acts as a voice of reason for Franks talking him down from taking the law into his own hands. While the episode closes the loop on this story, it doesn’t mean a happy ending for Franks as Tish chooses to leave and find the peace which has illuded her.

Daredevil – Isle of Joy

  • Title: Daredevil: Born Again – Isle of Joy
  • wiki: link

Moving past the Muse storyline as quickly as possible, which was little more than a blip, “Isle of Joy” offers and episode focusing on our hero and villain’s relationships with storylines designed to bring one couple together and (perhaps unnecessarily) pull the other apart. Despite several characters telling us over and over again that Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) has become erratic and emotional, I think that’s more than a bit of an overstatement to ultimately get the episode where it needs to go in the time allotted. He’s certainly less than happy to learn the about his girlfriend’s relationship with the Mayor and, as one might expect (especially someone like a psychiatrist), he’s running a bit hot after a face-to-face with the man who killed his best friend.

The unexpected arrival of Irene Adler (Whoopie Van Raam) and her son Angus (Sebastian Billingsley-Rodriguez) who may, or may not, have been fathered by Sherlock Holmes introduces a case with the staff splitting up to diagnosis the patient’s condition and also prove or disprove Adler’s paternity claims. Although initially believing Irene’s story, and see Holmes in her son, Watson (Morris Chestnut) begins to see the cracks realizing all of this is nothing more than one more scam in which Irene has involved an adept student.
