Doctor Odyssey - Halloween Week

Airing at an appropriate time of year, “Halloween Week” offers a week of Halloween-themed events aboard the latest cruise along with the regular selection of medical cases to be solved. The most memorable moments of the episode come early on with Max (Joshua Jackson) providing real competition to Tristan (Sean Teale) by constantly showing up in the same costume. While the idea Avery (Phillipa Soo) isn’t good at Halloween feels like just giving her a themed plot on the show (which isn’t really necessary given her big save on the beach), the episode also features several of the guest-stars in a variety of costumes.

The Irrational - Bad Blood

After apparently writing her off in the season premiere, and then teasing doing that again here, Rose (Karen David) apparently will be sticking around. The murder of the week involving a woman killed during an ice hockey game, theoretically pits the pair on opposite sides (but it doesn’t take all that long before they are working together to solve the case). The episode ends with Rose tempted to walk away but Alec (Jesse L. Martin) convincing her to stay. Our B-story involves Kylie (Travina Springer) getting in trouble with the FBI when one of her hacker friends uses her code to commit a crime. Getting to the truth puts her on the outs with a longtime friend.

NCIS: Origins - Bend, Don't Break

The case of the week involves a dead dealer found on the edge of Camp Pendleton. The victim had been selling Marijuana to petty officers on the base leading the team to the local mall, which will soon have both guns and toys stolen by the same crew, and where they receive a warning from the dead dealer’s partner about the curse of “the Moth Man” (a local urban legend) which no one, other than Gibbs (Austin Stowell), takes seriously. Still in the neighborhood, Jackson (Robert Taylor) has a conversation with Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid) in an attempt to talk him into cutting Leroy loose from NIS. The discussion only further alienates father and son after Franks benches the probie.

Murder in a Small Town - Prized Possessions

“Prized Possessions” provides an interesting twist as Karl Alberg (Rossif Sutherland) investigates the disappearance, and apparent murder, of Cassandra’s (Kristin Kreuk) high-strung friend Emma (Erica Durance). Given that we seen Emma shoot a gun at her husband Charlie (Toby Levins) in the opening tease it’s not hard for us to jump to conclusions as to what occurred suggesting she’s killed her husband and waited to set up a perfect alibi for herself. Picking up on the friction in the marriage, Karl jumps to a similar conclusion. However, the truth turns out to be more complicated.
