Watson – The Camgirl Inquiry

  • Title: Watson – The Camgirl Inquiry
  • IMDb: link

The team gets a new patient in Stephens’ (Peter Mark Kendall) cam girl (Sofie Kane) who collapses on camera from an infection. With the woman in need of immediate medical attention, but unaware of the young woman’s real name or location, Stephens is forced to go to Watson (Morris Chestnut) and the team for help. Aside from the awkward moments following his admission, and a few snide remarks here and there, the team (including his twin brother and the woman they have both dated) all pitch in to help putting the detective skills Watson has been teaching them to work.

Daredevil – The Hollow of His Hand

  • Title: Daredevil – The Hollow of His Hand
  • wiki: link

With looming dread, “The Hollow of His Hand” focuses on the trial of Hector Ayala (Kamar de los Reyes) which takes a turn after Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) loses his star witness and chooses to out Hector’s role as a vigilante gaining support from the jury for Hector’s service. Although Matt gets a win, and Hector goes free, at no point in the episode did it feel like Hector was destined for a happy ending. Whether he had been shanked in prison, attacked outside the courthouse, or unceremoniously killed in the street (which is what ends up happening), this was always going to end poorly for Hector.

Will Trent – This Kid’s Gonna Be Alright

  • Title: Will Trent – This Kid’s Gonna Be Alright
  • IMDb: link

“This Kid’s Gonna Be Alight” is most notable for the show’s epilogue. In investigating a murder of a rapper, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith (Iantha Richardson) begin investigating the studio which is a front for Rafael Wexford (Antwayn Hopper) to launder money and happens to be the same studio where Faith’s son Jeremy (Deion Smith) is working. Attempting to prove himself to Rafael, and keep his job after the GBI insinuate themselves into his business once more, Jeremy makes the biggest mistake of his life which provides Will only a single option to save the young man’s future (and also, coincidentally, push forward Will’s investigation into Rafael and his current activities).

  • IMDb: link

The second-half of the mid-season premiere deals with the swarm of Orca around the Odyssey, the techs working on restoring the ship’s power, and our medics striving to keep their patients alive on dwindling medical resources and attempting a life-saving surgery in the dark. Amongst the chaos, events seem to push Avery (Phillipa Soo) and Tristan (Sean Teale) together, although Avery’s decisions about her pregnancy remain undecided. As for Brooke (Adrianne Palicki) and Billy (Kurt Yaeger), the show teases the possibility of their return to the show at some point in the future with Captain Massey (Don Johnson) impressed with the young man’s quick thinking under pressure and the chemistry between Max (Joshua Jackson) and Brooke acknowledged but still not yet acted upon.

Reacher – Dominique

  • Title: Reacher – Dominique
  • IMDb: link

“There are very few people you meet in life that do everything right. The way they think, attack problems, conduct themselves. How they keep things loose when a joke is needed or keep their powder dry when things get tight.”

While playing on recent events, the majority of “Dominique” focuses on an extended flashback which introduces the impressive Sergeant First Class Dominique Kohl (Mariah Robinson) who worked under Reacher before his Special Investigators phase. The pair’s first case involved a soldier (Johnathan Sousa) leaking military secrets under threat from a military intelligence officer targeting his family. That officer’s name was Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee).
