Galilea La Salvia guest-stars as a sorority girl facing manslaughter charges after the death of one of the girls in the house.

Will Trent – Abigail B.

  • Title: Will Trent – Abigail B.
  • IMDb: link

Arresting a man (John Ales) involved in child trafficking, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and the GBI with the help of Marion (Gina Rodriguez) work to find the missing girl before she disappears forever. The ticking clock adds tension, as does Will’s guilt over not acting sooner and discovering the girl’s abduction too late. The major piece of the interrogation involves a bit of deception by Faith (Iantha Richardson) and the group into giving the man the immunity asked for, but not quite when or how he expected. While being helpful in the case to successfully trick the suspect, Marion plays a big role. However, the show doesn’t gloss over her recent trauma and incorporates that into the ongoing story.

Shifting Gears – Picnic

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Shifting Gears – Picnic
  • IMDb: link

“Picnic” focuses on the rivalry between Matt (Tim Allen) and Eve (Jenna Elfman) when Riley’s (Kat Dennings) boss adds a picnic table to the shared alley. The bickering between the pair never really escalates to anything of note, they eventually come to shared understanding and peace which is broken by a misunderstanding that is discovered but never acting upon. All in all, it’s a pretty lazy episode that also bleeds into the B-story involving both Matt and Riley struggling to give Carter (Maxwell Simkins) the sex talk which, like the main storyline, doesn’t have a real resolution either.

Invincible – You Want a Real Costume, Right?

  • Title: Invincible – You Want a Real Costume, Right?
  • wiki: link

“You Want a Real Costume, Right?” gets off to a bit of an odd start extended sequence with no dialogue with two super-powered robbers without a real explanation. The segment isn’t bad, it is just never explained (and neither baddie’s ability seems to tie into this). However, the end to that story with Oliver (Christian Convery) inserting himself into Mark (Steven Yeun) super-heroing is the major focus of the episode as Oliver gets his first costume (and Mark gets a rebrand), heading into a situation where Oliver proves himself to be his father’s son by brutally murdering the Maulers (Kevin Michael Richardson) to the utter horror of Mark and the GDA.
