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.

Will Trent – A Bad Temper and a Hard Heart

Will Trent concludes its first season with Will (Ramón Rodríguez) shrugging of the shock of Angie’s (Erika Christensen) abduction and the secrets Wagner (Sonja Sohn) has been keeping from him for years to lead the search to find the serial killer responsible for his mother’s death and Angie’s kidnapping. Leaving plenty left over for the show to dive into in the show’s Second Season, including the fallout from the last two episodes of this one, the season ends with answers and justice for our title character as the writers save their best work for last. I’m happy to have found this show and so glad to learn it has been renewed for another season. I look forward to see where things go from here.

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.

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.

The penultimate episode of the season follows up from events from the previous week involving the death of Lenny Broussard (French Stewart) while also paving the way to next week’s finale. Despite being on forced leave pending an investigation, and having reason to try and distance herself from Will (Ramón Rodríguez) who knows she isn’t telling the complete truth about what happened, Angie (Erika Christensen) helps out on the latest case which includes victims from the same group home she and Will stayed in. The case also has a connection to a case from Wagner’s (Sonja Sohn) past which ties into a secret she’s been keeping from Will her entire life.
