Watson – Patient Question Mark

  • Title: Watson – Patient Question Mark
  • IMDb: link

Although we get threads involving Watson (Morris Chestnut) and Shinwell (Ritchie Coster) doing more odd jobs for Moriarty (Randall Park), the less effective aspects of the show are mostly kept on the backburner in “Patient Question Mark” in which Watson’s team searches out the family of Sasha’s (Inga Schlingmann) medical school cadaver to screen them for possible cancer. The journey will lead the group to Amish country, save the life of a young boy, and reunite a single mother with a larger family. Although not shown much on-screen, the trip also brings back memories for Watson and better days in his relationship with Mary (Rochelle Aytes).

Suspecting her billionaire employer (Warren Christie) may be a serial killer Angelique (Sandra Shapiro) reaches out to Kylie (Travina Springer) and take advantage of her brother’s skills. “Conversation Games” offers an unusual setup with our initial suspect, who certainly meets the basic requirements to be a sociopath, agreeing that a member of his immediate team (who also all fit the right psychological makeup) is the killer and agrees to do whatever he can to help. The plot takes a few twists and turns before Alec (Jesse L. Martin) uncovers the truth with a little more help from Simon (Max Lloyd-Jones) than he was expecting.

Will Trent – Abigail B.

  • Title: Will Trent – Abigail B.

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.
