Dave – Rebirthday

  • Title: Dave – Rebirthday

Chloe Bennett reprises her role as Robyn in “Rebirthday” when she comes out to visit Dave (Dave Burd) and gets roped in by his friends in getting him to a surprise party for his birthday. The episode continues the cute awkwardness of the pair together, and even if it almost gets lost in a rather basic romcom setup of Robin needing to lie to Dave for a good reason, which leads to new problems, coming clean with the truth early saves the episode and brings the pair even closer together as Dave can bare his own truth about recent events.

Charlie’s Angels – The Sammy Davis Jr. Kidnap Caper

  • Title: Charlie’s Angels – The Sammy Davis Jr. Kidnap Caper
  • wiki: link

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. Built around guest-star Sammy Davis Jr. playing two roles, both himself and a celebrity lookalike who is mistakenly kidnapped by some of the most inept kidnappers ever captured on film (who include The Karate Kid‘s Martin Kove), “The Sammy Davis Jr. Kidnap Caper” is a goofy episode even by Charlie’s Angels standards. The Angels are hired to be Davis’ bodyguards after a couple of failed kidnapping attempts leading to them popping up as models in a fashion show, joggers in his neighborhood, and even a local television crew.

  • IMDb: link

Where the show’s first episode introduced us to the world of Citadel and Manticore, the second episode fills in some important gaps. First, we learn the reason for Mason Kane (Richard Madden) as both he and his partner Nadia (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) had their memories wiped automatically when Citadel fell. Luckily for them, there are backup memories which can fill them back. After retrieving the case, which has both the memories and other intelligence Manticore is after, Mason goes in search of Nadia. Turns out even without his memories, Mason still makes a pretty good spy. Unfortunately for him, his memories are lost but Nadia is able to activate hers before the pair of them are wiped out by one of the Manticore twins.

NCIS: Mars – Cabin Fever

  • wiki: link

Reminding me of Castle‘s 2015 episode “The Wrong Stuff,” NCIS comes in on an investigation involving the death inside a top-secret Mars simulation. The nature of the simulation, and red tape involved, keep NCIS outside the habitat where the other astronauts are training allowing only Ernie (Jason Antoon) access which becomes an issue when they realize everyone inside, including Ernie, is being exposed to dangerous gases that led to the death of one astronaut and odd behavior of others as well.
