Houdini & Doyle - The Pall of LaPier

The finale of Houdini & Doyle features a new mystery of the week plus the conclusion of the anarchist plot involving Adelaide’s (Rebecca Liddiard) presumed-dead husband (Jacob Blair). Houdini (Michael Weston), Doyle (Stephen Mangan), and Adelaide head to a small mining town in Ontario where all but two residents mysteriously died without leaving any signs of a cause.

Preacher - Sundowner

Featuring one of the most unique and insane action sequences I’m seen on television, “Sundowner” finally fills in Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) and the audience on just what he’s been carrying around inside his gut these past few weeks. Learning just what Genesis is, the byproduct of a forbidden union between and angel and a demon, Jesse at first seems willing to let DeBlanc (Tom Brooke) and Fiore (Anatol Yusef) remove it from him.

The Freemaker Adventures - Peril on Kashyyyk

Set during the period between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures focuses on the three Freemaker siblings who run a scavenger business. The eldest, Zander (Eugene Byrd), is the group’s primary mechanic and pilot. A bit enthusiastic at times, Zander’s love of starships occasionally gets him into trouble. The youngest Freemaker, Rowan (Nicolas Cantu), has a knack for finding trouble as well – especially after he begins showing Force sensitivity and a connection to the lost Kyber crystals whose power the Emperor (Trevor Devall) covets. Meanwhile, the responsible member of the group, Kordi (Vanessa Lengies), tries to keep her brothers in line.
