No new episode this week, but the next 3 synopses are out, and it seems like it's going to be a rollercoaster of plot twists: ------ Sooo... the accomplice is Heather? "Details of Jaime's childhood kidnapping are revealed."... 8 episodes later. I'll believe when I see it. "Margaret confronts a familiar face ..." -- outside of the main cast, the recurring character that I think makes the most sense is Margaret's husband; unless they introduce someone else soon.

Thought this was an good A-plot; but I don't think they needed that extra twist at the end with the blonde Russian agent.I wish these writers would learn to flesh out the A-plots, and have only one minor B-plot instead of two. It'd be great if they could occasionally connect the two, as well. The writing has never been great here. ::sigh:: Ooh... Rose's "husband" is cute! He can stop by anytime. I skipped Marissa's subplot, and I'm sure I didn't miss much. So they're going to make Kylie a field agent? Looking back at the season, they really didn't seem to know what to do with her. Although, she did have a few interesting side plots. Instead of an FBI agent, I'd rather they have her go back to being a super hacker and work with Rose at her new business. --Assuming that next season they make Rose a full regular character. Surprised Alec isn't getting the scars removed; I thought that's what they were trying to build toward throughout the season. It's not really something that affects the show much now, but I was thinking that Jesse would eventually get tired of having to get the makeup for that. Again, looking back at the season, adding another research assistant really didn't add much, if anything. So Phoebe has a love interest now -- nobody was asking for that. Yeah; I'm ignoring that tiny cliffhanger at the end.

*Season Finale* When Alec is recruited to assist with a multi-national prisoner exchange that has gone awry, he sees an opportunity to rescue a wrongfully imprisoned colleague. The case pulls Alec and Rose into the dangerous world of international espionage. Airdate: March 25, 2025

Ha! Nice try, show. I'm still not interested in Ingrid. Yeah, they spent time on everything else except why/how the tumor was affecting her memory. And yes, it's completely plausible that a person can an undetected tumor for a long while, BUT with the fact that the patient had been trying to get pregnant and had a miscarriage, it's weird that nobody caught a ovarian tumor. I feel like they're maybe doing too much with the supporting doctors when this show is new, and we hardly know/care about them. And the twins are particularly annoying to me, as person with siblings; we'd never act/talk like that ... in front of non-family ... in a workplace. (Yeah, yeah, I know, it's TV.) I'm so over the trope of persons having to work together with their ex; but even besides that, I'm not sure what the show is going for with Watson and his Ex-wife? If they are trying to do a reconciliation arc, they shouldn't have started the show with them getting divorced. The pharmacist being coerced to take the fall for Shinwell and commit suicide does do a good job of showing how dangerous Moriarty & Assoc. are, but I still think Randall Park is miscast. Glad Watson finally has a clue about him now.

Seems the writers/producers/network don't think the actual premise of the show is *exciting* enough, so now every plot has to have some crime conspiracy. Disappointing. Those are all good ideas.

Anyone know where they filmed the military base scenes? Not just this episode, but I like that we're finally back to basics with cases. I did like that the main story made a connection to Robyn's military background, but it wasn't another CIA mission. I guess it's okay that Dante got his exact job back, but how long until he breaks his promise about no 'equalizing' on the job? Wow -- Harry and Dante almost never have scenes together! I guess it's realistic, but I wasn't expecting Dee's protest story from last season to affect her college search arc this season. Relatively toned down outfits for the Equalizing team with the serious and military -themed A-plot.

*Looks like tonight's episode is delayed by a half hour or more because of March Madness. set your DVR's accordingly. ETA: Wow, nearly an hour here on the east coast!

I heard that Ludacris' spittake in Fast & Furious 6 is real because Dwayne Johnson ad-libbed his own clapback:

The only redeeming thing in Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too? was cameo at the very end.

While Watson and the team help a woman whose memory resets every three minutes, Watson struggles with auditory hallucinations and questions whether someone is behind his current decline. Also, Moriarty plots his next move. Airdate: March 23, 2025

This Jamie arc is taking so long, now I'm back to thinking he's not really Jamie. It's really ridiculous that no one is trying to get more info on him 'for Margaret's sake'. And they're trying to make Jamie's kidnapper a big reveal, but does it really matter when we don't know anyone from Margaret's past except her immediate family? Not sure what to think of Jamie visiting Sir. But I don't like that it's probably going to add more crazy to his arc. Crazy case though; several twists I didn't see coming. I'm still not ruling out Heather having some previous connection to Sir. Kinda weird/convenient that she's dating the ex of the woman who was the victim of her client. Not to mention, she's also representing the brother of the guy who shot her, who was supposedly his accomplice. So Sir's got friends inside and apparently outside of jail. If it's not Christian or Heather, his accomplice is still out there?

Murdered because you're trying to save community theater is one of the sillier motives I've seen lately. This was fun though! Definitely give Karen David more to do; she's great with Jesse/Alec. Knew it was only a matter of time before they got Jesse to sing on the show! I did miss Kylie a bit; but not anyone else. I figured that Alec getting his burn scars removed would be a arc that finished by the end of this season, but it looks like it will run ito the next, if this show gets renewed.

When an EMT is abducted in broad daylight, M&A's investigation creates more questions than answers. Margaret reflects on her behavior after Jamie disappeared. Trent makes a tough choice when Heather finds herself involved in a case close to M&A. Airdate: March 20, 2025

It would be in their best interests to promote her. Literally all the best episodes have her in them.

Should be fun!

New hairstyle (with extensions), yes. Repeat; no. Pretty sure it's not out of order.

So if Farrell signs on for Sgt Rock, does that mean he's not in The Batman sequel? Because that's also supposed to film sometime later this year.

Well, they didn't show any blood (I'm pretty sure), so it's possible the bad guys just knocked him out somehow? At least that was my my take when I watched that scene.

Oh, and I forgot: Mrs. Hudson is an escort(?) in this universe?? And like several recent adaptations, Sherlock and Irene Adler were/are in a relationship. Not here, I don't think, but I know there was speculation that Ingrid might actually be Irene.

So I've started fastforwarding Ingrid scenes. I thought that having Stephens in the A-plot here worked better than several of the other attempts to flesh out the doctors. And hey, we finally met the bold chick that exchanged one twin for another! I too liked the detective aspects of the A-plot. LOL at them trying every Shakespeare name for the dog! Even though I know they're trying to build up to something, I'm doing my best to not pay too much attention to the Moriarty/Shinwell subplot.

This guy qualified for The Pit with only 3 kills? Harsh.

On one hand; True. On the other, I don't mind seeing a different side of Robyn occasionally; I'd hate it if everything/everyone was 'serious bizness' all the time.

I kinda lost interest when I realized this was "Equalizer does National Treasure". Not that I'm opposed to 'theme' episodes, but I just wasn't into the theme. And then Dee got the Very Special Episode part of the episode; but I thought it was okay. I have a feeling there'll be a sequel to this B-plot. Well, of course Robyn and Dante are going to go slowly when it comes to involving their kids. But I'm glad they're addressing some of the issues that would inevitably come up with them being together. Fashion Highlights: I didn't really like both the top and pants together, but I did like the print on Robyn's outfit. And I did like the shirt and jacket combo that Dante was wearing.
