Dead Boy Detectives - The Case of the Devlin House

After getting multiple offers from the town’s ghost population, Edwin (George Rexstrew), Charles (Jayden Revri), and Crystal (Kassius Nelson) decide to investigate a haunted house where a family (Hannah Bos, Christine Chatelain, Jason Deline, and Audrey Mallett) has been stuck in the loop of their murders since the 80s. The loop, and the struggle to find its trigger, offers an intriguing mystery and a nice mix of macabre humor and horror for the investigators (especially after Charles’ recklessness gets him trapped in the loop as well).

Fallout - The Trap / The Radio

Setting up the season finale, “The Trap” and “The Radio” look both to the past and to the future. Flashbacks show us more of Cooper Howard (Walton Goggins) steering even stronger into his promotions for Vault-Tec, despite his discomfort at being their spokesman, in order to please his wife (Frances Turner). A conversation with a friend, his wife letting comments slip about the “good” vaults and why no dogs will be allowed, and a conversation with the woman who would become Lee Moldaver (Sarita Choudhury) force Cooper to begin questioning whether or not Vault-Tec is a good thing and even spying on his wife where he will eventually discover, to his horror, the lengths the company will go to in order to make their product a success.

Mr. Monk and the Candidate

Monk Monday takes us back to San Francisco and the toils of the defective detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub). Premiering in July of 2002, the double-sized opener introduced us not only to former police detective Adrian Monk, whose OCD and neuroses kicked into overdrive following the murder of his wife Trudy, but also his long-suffering nurse and assistant Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), his psychiatrist Dr. Kroger (Stanley Kamel), and both Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) and Lieutenant Randy Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford). Part Sherlock Holmes, part Columbo, and part something very different, for the better part of the next decade Mr. Monk put his unique skills to the test against his demons and phobias and always came out on top.

Will Trent - Why Is Jack's Arm Bleeding?

In an episode that deals with the murder of a young girl whose remains are found 13 years after her disappearance, “Why is Jack’s Arm Bleeding?” also wraps up the flashbacks and hallucinations of Will’s (Ramón Rodríguez) younger self as the new case has just enough similarities to shake loose some repressed memories and reveal a guilt Will has been carrying around with him for half of his life. The sequences have been effective over the first-half of the season, but won’t mind them fading away. After a couple of red herrings in young men who fancied the victim, Will discovers the true motive and method of murder.
