  • IMDb: link

The focus of the second episode of the show’s Second Season remains split. Although we see Jinx (Ella Purnell) make peace with Sevika (Amirah Vann) as the chem-barons war amongst themselves for control of the undercity, and breakdowns after she see’s her sister leading a group of enforcers to kill her, her story doesn’t advance much and given that no characters of real importance died in the explosion from last season the focus of the episode is stretched to the limit attempting to work in all the various storylines necessary to keep events moving forward.

The season finale of Murder in a Small Town picks up the thread of the unsolved murder of the woman posed in the woods by delving into the same suspects suggested the previous week. The suspicious behavior of Cassandra’s (Kristin Kreuk) friend from out of town Roger (Lucas Bryant) makes him the leading suspect, but stumbling into a connection between the art on display in the gallery and previous victims pushes Karl’s (Rossif Sutherland)  focus to the high school art teacher (Noah Reid) whose behavior towards Devon (Alisha Newton) also takes a dangerous turn leading to a standoff between the chief and the killer.

NCIS: Origins – One Flew Over

  • wiki: link

“One Flew Over” is more memorable for the Gibbs‘ (Austin Stowell) storylines than the murder of the week involving an elderly woman with dementia found dead in the woods. For Gibbs we get a present involving him taking care of an injured bird while flashbacks tie back, in an not-so-subtle metaphor, to the soldier’s early interactions with Franks (Kyle Schmid) after returning home and his frustrations with the murderer still roaming free. Before the end, we’ll also see Franks being unable to let a personal case go providing some understanding and commonalities between Franks and his probie.
