Ranking the top 5 moments from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” season 14 episode 4: “The Gang Chokes”

Happy Saturday TV fans! After watching the FXX network’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 14 episode 4, we learned that sometimes it may seem like living life on the edge is worth it, but has the gang gone too far here chasing the rush? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In Wednesday night’s episode, “The Gang Chokes,” the gang goes out to dinner, but a quiet night quickly turns deadly, as a familiar hero shows up to save the day. My top 5 moments from the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 14 episode 4 are:

“Oh god…you people!”

Our favorite waiter from Guigino’s is back at a different restaurant and surprisingly the gang actually remembers him this time. Now they claim that they can’t get away from him, which was beyond hysterical, bringing us some nostalgia from one of my favorite episodes of all time: “The Gang Dines Out.” I love how Mac even wears the exact same outfit with his slicked hair, which makes you wonder if he always wears this when they go out.

“I think he’s choking.”

Everything quickly gets out of hand when Frank starts choking; only the gang decides to all stare at him. No one moves and it’s up to the waiter to save Frank’s life, while the gang watches with fascination. Poor Frank!

“It blew my mind!”

After the incident, it clearly gets the gang thinking. Charlie shows up with an empty box of pizza at Mac and Dennis’s apartment, which is a nice gesture! It’s after midnight and Dennis doesn’t want to hear about it, but Dee shows up too, claiming that she is now obsessed with getting a rush from nearly dying. Dennis just wants to go to bed and Dee hilariously asks him if he’s 40 and he reminds her that they are the same age. No matter what age they are, the laughs keep coming!

“What the hell are you doing in my home?”

Our favorite waiter gets some more screen time when Frank decides to break into his home, explaining that “it’s you and me against the world.” Frank is grateful that the waiter saved his life and now he wants to spend some quality time together, but he has some interesting and creative ideas when it comes to getting rid of the waiter’s sick mother. Frank taps into the waiter’s dream of going back to pilot school and it looks like this may be the start of a weird friendship, but things quickly go south for these two.

“I’ll always save you from now on!”

Mac reveals that he just wants Dennis to depend on him, as we learn that he has been poisoning him with an interesting shake mixed with pizza and soda. Dee tells Mac that they will need to poison Dennis for real so that they can save his life, but they decide to try and poison Frank so they can make things right.

The plan doesn’t work out so well; however, as Dee ends up taking the poison herself. The waiter is forced to save her life now as well and Dee wakes up explaining that it was “just lights out” and she no longer wants to chase the rush.

This was the first episode of season 14 that really had me laughing out loud. I loved that the episode started off with some fun nostalgia, but then branched off into something completely different. It’s been a while since I’ve laughed out loud at several parts and I’m hoping this trend continues! Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “American Horror Story: 1984” season 9 episode 4: “It Feels So Good”

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the FX network’s American Horror Story: 1984 season 9 episode 4 last night, I realized that “we’ve always got a say in what happens next,” but what if you really can’t explain what is going on? What if there really is no rational explanation for it? Are we still in control or are we helpless? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In last night’s episode, “True Killers,” we learn more about Montana’s connected past with the Night Stalker, along with their shared appreciation for Billy Idol. Meanwhile, the two killers on the loose finally cross paths, but who will end up victorious? My top 5 moments from the American Horror Story: 1984 season 9 episode 4 are:

“This is aerobics. It’s serious!”

This show is really making me laugh out loud and I love it! In the beginning of the episode, we get an important glimpse into Montana’s past and discover that she first met the Night Stalker when he stumbled into her aerobics class.

The Night Stalker seems to hit it off with Montana right away, but reacts when one of her students decides to go off on her for her music selection. After the Night Stalker presents Montana with a bloody surprise, she seems more turned on than scared, revealing that perhaps she has had a darkness within her all along.

“Promise me she’ll suffer.”

We don’t have to wait too long to understand Montana’s motive for wanting Brooke dead, as we learn that her brother was the best man at Brooke’s wedding. Montana blames Brooke for what happened and is looking for revenge, but she clearly wants to make Brooke’s pain last. The Night Stalker seems to be on board with killing for his girl, but does he have an agenda of his own as well?

“You always hated the crust.”

While Mr. Jingles is off on his killing spree, Xavier attempts to get Birdy to safety, but when Mr. Jingles shows up, it appears they used to be friends and he remembers her from the camp prior to the massacre. We learn that Mr. Jingles enjoys a PB&J sandwich, but once he spots Xavier, it’s clear that he also has a hunger for something else.

Poor Xavier almost gets cooked alive, but Birdy is able to save him in time. Birdy asks Xavier to put her out of her misery and he reluctantly agrees, but once he sees the burns on his face, he realizes that his dream of being on the cover of TV Guide may be over…

“You shouldn’t have crashed this party.”

Brooke manages to escape, but ends up caught in a net, as Rita reveals her plan to her. Brooke says, “F*ck your research,” but she really is in quite the jam now. Montana finds her and realizes that she can finally have the Night Stalker kill her once and for all, but of course Mr. Jingles shows up with perfect timing and we get an impressive showdown between both killers, which ends with the Night Stalker getting a tree branch stabbed through his throat.

Brooke and Montana are able to get away and this certainly ruins Montana’s plan, but Rita witnesses something horrifying when she sees the Night Stalker’s body levitating in mid-air. His eyes turn black and he is brought back to life, reminding us of the supernatural presence still lurking at Camp Redwood.

It’s one thing to have a harmless camp counselor marching around dead, but it’s quite another to have an undead serial killer on the grounds. We’ll have to see how this plays out, but it is keeping things interesting for sure.

“You never had a chance…”

We certainly get a lot of plot twists thrown our way in episode 4, as we also finally learn what’s up with Margaret. I suspected something was off with her from the start and so did many of you, but she finally steps into the light to face Mr. Jingles. We get to see another flashback for Margaret and discover that Mr. Jingles had somewhat of a crush on her and wanted to protect her.

Margaret used this to her advantage and manipulated him, taking her own revenge out on her bullies at camp while framing her poor “Benji Bear.” After being locked away in the asylum, Mr. Jingles started to truly believe that he was the killer, but Margaret reminds him now that she set the whole thing up. She even cut off her own ear to sell it, but it looks like Margaret is ready to embrace her true self again.

After shooting Mr. Jingles and eliminating Trevor, Mr. Jingles manages to get away, but the real killer has now emerged. We know that the campers will be arriving shortly, so what is Margaret’s end game here? Is she looking to re-create another massacre? How will the supernatural elements come into play? Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The Affair” season 5 episode 4: “There You Are Noah”

Happy Sunday TV fans! After watching Showtime’s The Affair season 5 episode 4, I realized that sometimes one decision can set forth a course of events. If you are given the chance to have everything you ever wanted, would you take it? Sometimes the decision is not always clear cut, but once we get everything we thought we ever wanted, is it enough? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In tonight’s episode, “504,” Noah shows us a glimmer of potential, but continues to be thrown off course by Sasha’s relationship with Helen. Meanwhile, Whitney crosses paths with an ex-boyfriend who could change everything for her and Joanie tries to make a clean start. My top 5 moments from The Affair season 5 episode 4 are:

“Well for once we want the same thing…”

Part one of the episode follows Noah and the kids seem excited about attending Sasha’s Halloween party, while Helen’s mother disapproves. Noah seems to really be putting forth an effort with both Trevor and Stacey, reminding Helen that he just wants to maintain a healthy and stable co-parenting environment/relationship. Let’s just hope he can keep this up because Noah has the tendency to get distracted and obsessed easily with other things, especially since Helen is still dating Sasha.

“You want her back.”

During Noah’s part of the episode, he runs into the new sheriff in town, Joel, who is just dressing the part for Halloween, but he does point out to Noah that perhaps he wants Helen back. Noah denies this, but then why is he so obsessed with Helen’s decisions? Is it more about Helen or does he feel like Sasha is replacing him?

Noah is upset to discover that Sasha will be credited as the co-writer of the movie based on his book, so I have to wonder where his frustration is really coming from? Helen is taking care of Helen and I wasn’t a fan of Noah trying to leave behind a bra so that she would get angry at Sasha. It just seemed selfish and childish and Noah needs to leave that part of his life behind him.

“Hi Dad.”

Part three of the episode follows Joanie and she decides to start cleaning out Cole’s house. Only she begins throwing out all of the pictures of Alison and Cole as well. She then finds the box of letters that Cole learned about on his trip to Morro Bay and tosses it, which instantly broke my heart and then she stumbles across the chest with Gabriel’s toys. Joanie pauses when she gets to this one, immediately recognizing and understanding the meaning behind it, but she throws it out as well and takes off on Alison’s old bicycle and heads to the cemetery to say hello to her dad.

It looks like Joanie is trying to erase every part of her past, but I’m not sure this is the right answer. I’m looking forward to finding out what actually prompts her to go and find Ben Cruz. She seems willing to part with these reminders of her family, but what makes her want to solve the mystery behind Alison’s death?

“I don’t want to be looked at anymore.”

Part two of the episode is from Whitney’s perspective, which was a nice change of pace. I mentioned in last week’s blog that I wanted to find out more about Whitney’s story so I was pleased to see this. Whitney has been struggling for a while now to get by and her rent is past due. Colin is putting a lot of stress on her since he can’t work and she begins to resent him for it. To make things more complicated, Whitney’s much older ex-boyfriend, Furkat, returns. Remember him from Paris? He begs Whitney for her forgiveness and invites her to a gallery opening, introducing her to some connections along the way.

Later on, Whitney has a conversation with Furkat’s new connection, who asks Whitney, “If you could have everything you ever wanted, what would it look like?” Whitney talks about wanting to open up her own gallery and ends up sleeping with Furkat. The man she spoke to comes in to watch and Furkat explains that he can give her the gallery she is dreaming of. Whitney has come so far as a character, but she gives in here and allows this to happen; wanting to get that much closer to her dreams, but everything has a price.

At the end of her part, she crawls back into bed with Colin and holds on to him, as the guilt of her actions washes over her. I thought this was a revealing and vulnerable moment for Whitney and I started to think about how similar she is to both her mother and father. Helen warned her daughter about not giving up her dreams for a man, while Noah has always put his dreams above all else in some regards, so you have to wonder which side of the scale Whitney will ultimately end up on?

“Because I’m her father.”

It’s been a while since I have given a Noah moment my number one spot, but I have to say that I was impressed by his loyalty to his daughter, Stacey. After Stacey gets her period for the first time, she locks herself in the bathroom. Noah asks Helen’s mother to help out and puts her in her place, reminding her that he is Stacey’s father and he is not going to leave her side. Helen’s mother is actually impressed by this and says, “There you are Noah…welcome back.”

Stacey is grateful that her father stands by her and they are absolutely adorable heading into Sasha’s Halloween party. Too bad Noah makes some bad decisions after this, but his moment with Stacey reminded us that perhaps Noah needs to put aside Noah, the writer…Noah, the director…Noah, the lover and just simply focus on being a good father. Can he stay on track? Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Younger” season 6 episode 4: “BDE”

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 6 episode 4, I realized that “if you’re looking for trouble, you’re probably gonna find it,” but what happens when it’s finally all out in the open? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In Wednesday night’s episode, “An Inside Glob,” Kelsey’s stress begins to catch up with her, which causes her to get creative with some of her fashion choices. Meanwhile, Maggie tries out an interesting home remedy, Josh bonds with his daughter, and Liza confronts Charles. My top 5 moments from Younger season 6 episode 4 are:

“Money isn’t everything.”

In this episode, Kelsey decides to track down Zane at his new office and discovers that Mercury is based out of a community workplace. Zane doesn’t seem to mind, but Kelsey wants to know where he is getting his funding from. Zane reminds Kelsey that money isn’t everything and sometimes “it’s about charm,” but Kelsey doesn’t find this very cute at all. Watch out, Zane!

“I don’t have that energy!”

Kelsey confides in Lauren about her stress over work and Lauren suggests she starts casually dating again. She hilariously changes Kelsey’s work title on her dating app to “Creative Director,” so that Kelsey will seem more approachable, explaining that Kelsey has “BDE,” which apparently stands for big dick energy. Kelsey seems excited for a new potential romance and decides to get her hair done for the occasion, but is in for a huge surprise, when she finds out that she is losing clumps of her hair and perhaps her BDE is really “Bald Dude Energy.” Poor Kelsey.

“I really wanna be in her life full time.”

Meanwhile, Josh gets some quality time with his daughter when Clare has to work on a project. Josh is absolutely adorable with his baby and even puts her in a baby carrier at work…although I’m not sure that the tattoo parlor is the best place for her, but Josh assures Clare that the buzzing actually puts her right to sleep. Josh realizes that he wants to spend more time with his daughter and hopes that their upcoming divorce does not get in the way. He asks Clare if they can do this parenting thing together and she agrees. I’m just hoping this all works out for Josh because he seems so happy.

“Is there something you’re not telling me?”

Liza takes a minute to confront Charles privately and asks him if he is the money behind Mercury. Charles comes clean with Liza and explains that he never wanted to give up publishing and was just trying to find the right moment to tell her. Liza seems somewhat understanding after Charles explains that he wants something just for him, as he was always previously working for his father’s company, but asks Liza to keep this between them for now. However, this puts Liza in an awkward position, as she will have to keep this information from Kelsey. It’s only a matter of time before the cat is out of the bag.

“My hair is falling out because of you!”

Well at least we don’t have to wait that long, as Kelsey decides to go see the author who initially turned her down at her lunch meeting with Zane. Liza tries to intervene, but it’s too late, as Charles and Zane walk in the door and everything is now finally out in the open. Kelsey is outraged by this and feels betrayed, screaming that her hair is falling out because of them. Unfortunately, that starts trending on social media, which is not the best look for Kelsey, but at least the author decides to stay with her. After all, Kelsey did fight for her and is extremely motivated and capable. However, we now discover that Charles has resigned from the board, which makes him their official competition.

It looks like things are only going to get more complicated now. Competition may be healthy, but Kelsey is taking everything personally and I don’t really blame her. We’ll have to wait and see how this all unfolds. Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Fear the Walking Dead” season 5 episode 4: “Ready, Skidmark?”

Happy Monday TV fans! After watching AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 4, I realized that sometimes you can find a friend in the most unlikely places. It may seem like being alone is the answer, but we all need a friend every now and again. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Skidmark,” we learn more about Daniel and our new favorite character, Skidmark. Meanwhile, Alicia begins to worry that Dylan may not be telling the truth, Max and Annie wind up in a dangerous situation, and Victor tries to make amends. My top 5 moments from Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 4 are:

“Ready, Skidmark?”

I absolutely adore Daniel’s cat, Skidmark, and it was fun to witness the effective tag team of Daniel, or “Dan the Man,” as Sarah has now hilariously nicknamed him and his trusty cat, Skidmark. Daniel puts a bell on Skidmark’s collar to distract the walkers, while he takes them out and begins disarming traps that are set up. Skidmark is quite agile and is able to evade the hungry walkers, proving to be quite useful. We learn that Daniel inherited the warehouse from whoever set the traps in the first place and he has been working on disarming them all. Daniel is used to spending his time alone and enjoys a quick meal with Skidmark, but is he ready to be around others again?

“What’s it about…the book? How can it help?”

Meanwhile, Dylan bonds with Luciana after Alicia and Morgan go out to investigate a camp that Dylan has supposedly seen. The Little Prince makes an appearance again, as Dylan becomes curious about the story. Luciana fills him in and these two bond over it. Dylan helps Luciana fix the tower and eventually comes clean about lying. He tells the group that he was scared, but it looks like Dylan’s heart is in the right place. Dylan is even inspired enough by the story of The Little Prince to give Luciana a good idea as well about fixing the plane. I thought this moment was sweet between these two, as Luciana helped Charlie previously with the book and it seems like she really has a knack for motherhood.

“I’m not gonna shoot you in the face…”

During the episode, Daniel and Victor continue to clash, as Daniel does not trust him and refuses to just hand over the plane. Daniel claims that he is going to “save” Charlie, who he discovers hiding in the back of his truck, but Victor continues to try and prove that he has changed. He tells the group about Ofelia and how he lied to Daniel to get something he needed. When Daniel finally discovered the truth about Ofelia, it was too late and he wasn’t able to tell her what he needed to.

Later on, Charlie and Daniel get in a jam and Victor, Sarah, and Wendell come to their rescue. Victor uses the plane to take out the herd of walkers in a gruesome way, but he saves Daniel, sacrificing the plane in the process. Daniel recognizes that Victor is truly making an effort here, admitting his past mistakes and trying to make a difference now and tells him, “I’m not gonna shot you in the face,” which I guess is progress for these two.

Either way, I thought this was an important moment for both characters, as Victor finally takes some action rather than just talking about how he wants to do the right thing. He may never be able to make up for what he did before, but that doesn’t mean he can’t change. It was also fun to see some screen time for Sarah and Wendell here, who broke up the tension with some laughs as well. I thoroughly enjoy both characters and hope we get some more screen time for them soon!

“What were you going to tell her?”

During the episode, Charlie forms a friendship with Daniel. They bond over artichoke hearts and music…oh yeah and taking out walkers too! Perhaps Charlie sees a lot of herself in Daniel, understanding what it means to be alone after you have lost someone you have truly cared for. These two form a quick friendship and Charlie later asks Daniel what he wanted to tell Ofelia before she died. Daniel confides in Charlie and tells her: “That every day brings a chance to start over…a chance to get it right.” Daniel recognizes that perhaps Charlie needed to hear this too. Even though Ofelia is gone, Daniel is finally able to say these words out loud and he essentially helps another girl with them in the process.

Daniel asks Charlie to look after Skidmark, as he heads off to do some more work or soul searching perhaps, but it looks like Charlie got through to him and I thought this was a heartwarming moment for both characters. Will we see Daniel again? Let’s hope so, since there is a cigar waiting for him, but I’m super happy that Skidmark is now officially part of the group!

“What the hell is that?”

This was a jam-packed episode, as Max and Annie also find themselves in a dangerous situation, when Annie hurts her leg and a group of walkers closes in on them. They had spotted a man in a black suit and helmet who had been taking down one of their barricades of walkers. Luckily, our favorite dynamic duo, Alicia and Morgan, are there to save the day, but they quickly learn that these kids are not alone, as a group of children surround them, all holding weapons. Alicia and Morgan realize that the camp is where their parents were and now they are all left alone. Morgan explains that they can help each other and it looks like the kids are ready for a truce.

Before we can learn too much more, the kids tell them to get down and we see the helicopter with the 3 ringed symbol that picked up Rick and Anne/Jadis in The Walking Dead. So we are now presented with another interesting crossover. I was very curious about the meaning behind “A” and “B” in TWD and I’m wondering if this will now be explored on Fear TWD. What else will we discover? We’ll have to wait and see, but it also looks like we will finally catch up with Al next week and I’m excited about that. Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The 100” season 6 episode 4: “Now This I Can Work With”

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching the CW’s The 100 season 6 episode 4, Diyoza reminded us that one must learn to “improvise, adapt, and overcome” in order to survive, but I’m not sure our characters are truly prepared for the secrets of Sanctum. Let’s just hope they figure it out before it’s too late. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “The Face Behind the Glass,” it’s Naming Day at Sanctum, which we learn is a day of recognizing past sins and also celebrating, but the Primes certainly have a lot more in store. Meanwhile, Diyoza and Octavia try to help Rose, as the Children of Gabriel continue to be a possible threat, but there are two sides to every story. My top 5 moments from The 100 season 6 episode 4 are:

“Don’t let me be a face behind the glass.”

It’s Naming Day on Sanctum and everyone seems to be in high spirits, as Clarke and the others witness and participate in the rituals, which include placing past sins in floating lanterns, reciting the four pillars of Sanctum: Repent, Renew, Rejoice, Rebirth, and celebrating with a rave…because that makes sense. It seems like things are a little too good to be true here and my instincts were right.

Jordan seals the deal with Delilah and opens up to her about what he went through growing up and how it felt like he became a face behind the glass when he entered into Cryosleep. Right before Delilah goes to accept her fate for Naming Day, she runs back to Jordan and begs him not to let her become a face behind the glass, revealing that something big is about to happen here. When Delilah emerges, she no longer recognizes Jordan and she is now referred to as “Priya.”

“Your problem isn’t making amends…”

Clarke seems to really pay attention when Naming Day talks about the importance of making amends. Clarke certainly has a lot to make up for and she tries to start with Raven…only Raven doesn’t want to hear it. Clarke brings up Shaw and Raven tells her, “Keep him out of it,” as she is still clearly heartbroken over his death and rightfully so. Raven compares Clarke to Octavia and tells her, “The only difference between you and her is Octavia doesn’t pretend to be sorry about it.” Raven clearly feels betrayed and hurt by Clarke, but she does make a valid point here. Is it too late for amends or will Clarke be able to finally make things right? It looks like she may not get that chance now, however.

“The devils of earth become the heroes of sanctum…”

After Diyoza is essentially banished from Sanctum, Rose’s bodyguard approaches her and tells her that if she can retrieve Rose, her baby will be able to live in Sanctum. Diyoza puts the needs of her child first and accepts, even though she would not be able to stay with her child. Meanwhile, Octavia is being held captive by the Children of Gabriel with Rose and tries to help her too. Unfortunately Rose is killed in the crossfire, as Diyoza and Octavia now cross paths.

Rose’s bodyguard is beyond heartbroken by the unnecessary death of a child and she tells Diyoza that if she is able to take down Gabriel, the deal will still be honored. It looks like this is the start of a “beautiful friendship,” as Octavia agrees to partner up with Diyoza. I have to say that I absolutely love this partnership, as these are two bad-ass women you do not want to mess with. But are they really choosing the right side? Either way, I can’t wait to see what they do next together.

“You are my family too.”

Bellarke fans get another big moment between Clarke and Bellamy, as Clarke decides to see if Bellamy is more receptive to her apology than Raven. Clarke is genuine in her apology and Bellamy understands, knowing what it’s like to do anything to protect one person who is your family. Clarke reminds Bellamy that he is her family too and she promises that she will never forget it again. I thought there might be a chance here for a potential spark especially when Bellamy and Echo clash, but Echo opens up about having to fight for survival for all her life and Becho is still going strong…for now. Either way, I thought this was an important moment for Bellarke and if anyone can bring Clarke back, it’s Bellamy or Madi.

“You’re giving us such a gift, Clarke.”

After Clarke has a passionate moment with Cillian, this moment is put on hold, as he reveals that he is a spy for the Children of Gabriel. He uses the paralytic dart on Clarke so he can get her out of there, trying to tell her that she is in more danger where she is because of her Nightblood, or “black blood,” as they refer to it here on Sanctum. The guards detect what is going on and Cillian slits his own throat to avoid being taken, which seems extreme, but clearly there is a lot of history here. Clarke is brought before the Lightbournes and Russell realizes that they have the chance to bring their daughter, Josephine back now, realizing that there may be no other option since Rose is gone, who was another Nightblood.

Russell promises Clarke that there will be no pain and that she is essentially sacrificing her body so someone else can live. The essence of Josephine is placed behind Clarke’s head and when she wakes up, Clarke appears to be gone and only Josephine remains, who seems happy with her new reflection and host. It seems like the Primes are obsessed with maintaining immortality, which means that Madi is also in danger. However, is Clarke now gone forever or is there a way to free her? Let’s hope so because I can’t process a world without Clarke Griffin. Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Killing Eve” season 2 episode 4: “Desperate Times”

Happy Monday TV fans! After watching BBC America’s Killing Eve season 2 episode 4 on AMC, I started thinking about the song, “Reflection,” in the movie Mulan, where she sings: “When will my reflection show who I am inside?” It seemed fitting and it’s interesting to see how much the dynamic is shifting between Eve and Villanelle. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Desperate Times,” Villanelle puts on a show and tries to win back Eve’s attention. Meanwhile, Eve continues to put the pieces together surrounding Alistair Peel, leading her to the new female assassin, Ghost. My top 5 moments from Killing Eve season 2 episode 4 are:

“You’re the best person I know…come back.”

Eve and Niko continue to have problems in this episode, as Eve forgets to let him know that they now have security watching their home. Eve clearly has a lot on her mind, but she continues to push Niko further and further away. Niko reminds her that none of this is normal, even though she works for MI6, and tries to get through to her. In a sweet moment, Niko tells Eve that she is the best person he knows and he just wants her to come back, but is Eve too far gone at this point?

“This is so boring!!!!!!”

You just gotta love when Jodie Comer brightens up the screen with her amazing portrayal of Villanelle. Villanelle is in Amsterdam with Konstantin, preparing for her first job, but they decide to walk through a museum, which is beyond boring to Villanelle. Villanelle hilariously shouts this in front of a crowd, not caring what anyone else thinks, but she is intrigued by one painting in particular and even purchases a postcard version to send to Eve. We later see Villanelle in a gorgeous pink ensemble and a woman asks her if she can take a picture for her Instagram and Villanelle hilariously replies, “Don’t be pathetic…get a real life.” This is why I love Villanelle. She says what she thinks without hesitation and we still adore her anyway. The postcard to Eve reads:

Darling Eve,

I hope you haven’t forgotten about me.

Only Carolyn intercepts the postcard before it reaches Eve. But why is Carolyn trying to keep this from Eve? Is there a particular reason why she wants her full attention on Ghost? I still don’t trust Carolyn, but I’m hoping we will fill in some more blanks soon!

“Scorned wives and scumbags…”

Villanelle is ready to put on a show for Eve and we learn that being discreet is definitely not in her nature. Villanelle tracks down her target and lures him into a red light district window. Villanelle wears a pig mask and opens the curtain, as the crowd watches as she strings the man upside down. Before killing him, Villanelle signals for some encouragement from the crowd, as they don’t understand what is really going on before she performs her final act and butchers the man in front of them. Villanelle leaves him hanging upside down, similar to the painting in the postcard she sent to Eve, but she is beyond disappointed when Eve doesn’t show up to investigate her work of art.

“Do you like her watching her or do you like being watched?”

Eve continues to investigate Alistair Peel’s murder and realizes that everyone around him seems to be dying, but in natural ways. After meeting with Alistair’s obnoxious son, Eve begins to focus her attention on Ghost and realizes that she wanted each act to be painless. So “what kind of assassin is that?” A light bulb goes off within Eve, as she realizes that Ghost must have previously worked in the medical field. This is clearly exciting Eve, as she is all about the hunt, but will she forget about Villanelle now that she has Ghost on her mind?

Reflections…

My favorite moment of the episode is at the very end, where we go back and forth between Eve and Villanelle staring at their reflections. Eve is getting ready to interrogate her Ghost suspect and pulls up her hair, leaving it neatly off of her face. She stares at herself and is calm and unwavering. After getting high and almost going off the deep end at a club, Villanelle looks at her own reflection and begins crying, which causes her to eventually smile. Even though Villanelle feels ignored or rejected by Eve, it has brought out human emotions within her, as she taps into vulnerability inside. It always seems like Villanelle is just trying to feel something and now she does, but what will she do about it?

Eve was always previously seen almost out of control and constantly on the move, refusing to sit still, but now she is calm and confident, suggesting that she has perhaps taken a page out of Villanelle’s book. It’s interesting to see how these two characters are almost adapting characteristics of each other, as they continue on this twisted journey. But what will happen when these two halves finally meet in the middle? Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists” season 1 episode 4: “The Emerald City”

Greetings TV fans! After watching Freeform’s Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists season 1 episode 4, I realized that sometimes you just have to go with your gut, as Alison reminded us: “It’s more than just a rose. It’s a feeling.” So what happens when we follow our instincts down that yellow brick road? Do we end up chasing after a ghost? And what happens when we are finally able to discover the man behind the curtain? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “The Ghost Sonata,” Alison and Mona continue to track down leads to discover more about Nolan’s murder. Meanwhile, Ava, Caitlin, and Dylan’s secrets begin to consume them, as they contemplate whether or not to share them with one another. My top 5 moments from Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists season 1 episode 4 are:

“Turn up the heat.”

Nolan’s mother, Claire, continues to act suspicious when she has another conversation with Caitlin. Claire realizes that Caitlin is lying to her and calls Dana Booker, asking her to turn up the heat. But what does this mean exactly? Why is Claire so interested in these particular friends of Nolan’s especially when we know that he had many other enemies that could be responsible for his death? It looks like we still have a lot to learn about Claire, but she is absolutely hiding something.

“Where is he? Everywhere…”

Ava, Caitlin, and Dylan continue to receive more cryptic messages about seeing a rat, but they immediately begin to suspect that Mason is behind this. However, this seems a little too obvious to me and I am starting to suspect Caitlin’s boyfriend, Jeremy. Jeremy has a motive for sure, as Nolan was trying to blackmail Caitlin and he also has a connection to Claire. We know that whoever is sending the messages must have some knowledge of IT or programming and Jeremy definitely fits this description. I know it’s just a theory of mine, but I am definitely getting a bad vibe from him, but we’ll have to stay tuned to find out more.

“I think you moved on. You just never said it out loud.”

Even though Alison has left Rosedale behind her, we see several text messages coming in from Emily. We later find out that Emily is asking for a divorce and Alison has been understandably hesitant about signing the papers. Mona continues to be a good friend and provides Alison with some supportive advice when she tells her that perhaps she has already moved on. Is Alison finally ready to say goodbye to her past? Maybe not entirely, but she is definitely making a huge difference with Ava, Caitlin, and Dylan, so perhaps she can continue to find herself through her work. It’s never too late to change and I love Alison’s character transformation so far. This spin-off is really allowing her and Mona to shine.

“Who is Ray Hogadorn?”

The questions keep coming and everyone is a suspect. Mona tracks down a lead to find Ray Hogadorn after doing some of her own detective work and she walks into a room filled with newspaper clippings and leads connected to Nolan and Taylor. At the end of the episode, the custodian walks in. Is this the infamous Ray and if so, what does he want? Does he work for the FBI? Is he connected to Mona somehow? Mona has also been having some online conversations with Bad Bishop. While their chess matches may be fun, is this a potential romance or a new threat?

“Secrets have a way of keeping you close and you need each other.”

Alison continues to try and help Ava, Caitlin, and Dylan, but she also tracks down a lead on her own after going through some of Taylor’s Wizard of Oz books. Claire tells her that Taylor was always looking for her own Emerald City and Alison realizes that she may have just found its location hidden in McDevitt’s Quarry. Alison finds a trailer and begins to look around, but comes face to face with Taylor. Only Taylor doesn’t want to stay and chat and she locks Alison inside the trailer. What could Taylor be running from and why did she need to fake her own death? The mystery is continuing to unravel, but let’s hope our girl Alison can find a way out of there before she finds herself lost in Oz for good. Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “SMILF” season 2 episode 4: “It Only Has To Work Once”

Greetings TV viewers! After watching Showtime’s SMILF season 2, episode 4, I realized that “there’s something about Bridgette Bird.” Sure, she may be a little quirky, but it’s important that she recognizes who she is and stays true to herself. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In tonight’s episode, “So Maybe I Look Feminine,” Bridgette has a busy day planned, as she tries to tackle her to-do list. Meanwhile, Nelson invites Bridgette to the salon, which leads to some temptation and fantasy along the way. My top 5 moments from SMILF season 2 episode 4 are:

“You’re the one that should shush.”

In the beginning of the episode, Rafi and Nelson arrive at Bridgette’s apartment to pick Larry up for a fun weekend. Bridgette is thrown off when Nelson shushes Larry while on the phone. Bridgette is very protective of Larry and she wants him to feel loved wherever he goes, but she chooses not to confront Nelson in this very moment. However, she does point out to herself that Nelson is the one that should really shush.

“Rollin with the homies…”

After trying to tackle her to-do list, Bridgette takes Nelson up on her offer and joins her and her friend at the salon. After flipping through some hairstyle choices a la Britney Spears and Brittany Murphy, Nelson decides she will be going with the Brittany Murphy look and her and her friend break out into a tear-filled “rollin with the homies” to honor Brittany’s classic performance in one of my favorite films of all time, Clueless.

“I think you should consider going blonde.”

While waiting for her stylist, Bridgette meets a bride to be, played by Ari Graynor, and the two bond over some eyeliner tips. The woman suggests that Bridgette goes blonde, which allows us to see Bridgette’s fantasy world complete with an adorable polka dot ensemble, while watching a polo match. Bridgette actually looks really fabulous with her blonde hair, but we quickly learn that it has somehow transformed her entire life, which I’m not sure is really possible, but sometimes we all need a change in our look here and there.

“Is that Kevin Bacon on a horse?”

I mean, Bridgette’s fantasy would not be complete without Kevin Bacon showing up on a horse. After all, Hollow Man is her favorite film. Later on, Bridgette crosses paths with Kevin Bacon, who offers to “finger bang” her. However, he does not want to do this in front of his horse, Peggy, named after Pegasus. After the act is complete, Kevin asks Bridgette to dinner, who is beyond thrilled to accept.

“I missed you today.”

After the encounter with Kevin, Bridgette confronts Nelson about shushing Larry and Ari Graynor’s character ends up getting brutally hit in the face with a polo ball. There is blood everywhere and Bridgette repeatedly asks, “Will someone help her?” Bridgette spots a mannequin dressed like her former self in a t-shirt and shorts with brown hair, reminding her who she really is. This moment snaps Bridgette back to reality, as she is now staring in the mirror at her messy brown hair and makes the decision not to go to the salon. Bridgette is beyond thrilled to see Larry return, reminding her what’s truly important to her. Stay tuned for more SMILF fun!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The Passage” season 1 episode 4: “Show Me The Real You”

Happy Tuesday TV fans! After watching Fox’s The Passage season 1 episode 4, I realized that even if “you know what’s best,” can you really trust yourself when your dreams are being invaded by the overwhelmingly creepy Dr. Fanning? Are the subjects in Project Noah still connected to their own thoughts and desires or are they now merely instruments of destruction? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Whose Blood Is That?” we dive deeper into Anthony Carter’s past, as Fanning continues to bring him over to the dark side. Meanwhile, Shauna pays Amy a visit, Brad tries to do the right thing, and Dr. Lear may have just been contaminated. My top 5 moments from The Passage season 1 episode 4 are:

“I got skills.”

During the episode, Brad and Amy continue to connect, as Brad is determined to protect Amy no matter what. Amy shows one of her first signs of advancing when she and Brad are on the run and she is able to sprint in front of him with no real effort. While we still don’t know exactly how the serum will impact Amy, it’s clear that she is already showing signs, but will she have the same fate as the patients who came before her or is she transforming into something else? Something even more dangerous? We’ll have to wait and see.

“We need to go now.”

We continue to catch up with Lila and Lacey, who are trying to get the story out to anyone who will listen. A reporter actually seems interested in running with the story, but they learn that she was killed later on. Lila is shocked, but Lacey recognizes the potential threat immediately and tells Lila that they need to go now, which suggests that they will be determined a threat to Project Noah as well. Luckily, Lila has Lacey to protect her, although they may need some backup pretty soon.

“Let me help you.”

During this episode, Brad tries to get through to Agent Paulson, who has clearly been impacted by the nightmares. Brad remains calm in the situation even though Agent Paulson has a gun and it seems like he is getting through to him until Clark decides to take him out and eliminate the threat. Clark has already been questioned about letting Shauna live, but he does not even take a second to think about eliminating a fellow agent. Is there any hope for Clark or will he continue to spiral out of control?

“Show me the real you.”

Shauna pays Amy a visit, well a mental visit, and tries to begin manipulating her, but Amy is well aware of what is right and what is wrong. Amy tells Shauna, “I’m nothing like you,” but Shauna is convinced that she is and reminds her that “fighting only makes it harder.” We know that Fanning is very interested in Amy’s presence and that Amy could be the key to stopping this threat, but it looks like she will continue to deal with obstacles along the way. This is a very tough little girl; however, and one should not underestimate her.

“Open up your heart, Anthony.”

During the episode, we get a glimpse into Anthony Carter’s past. We see his past relationship with Rachel and learn that Carter was framed for her death. Carter already feels so much guilt about what happened to her and he loved her very much, but Fanning uses this vulnerability to his advantage. He reminds Anthony that “love without power is misery.” At the end of the episode, Carter is in danger of dying, but ultimately makes his choice and accepts the monster within. Carter attacks someone in the lab and relishes in his first real kill as a vampire, as Dr. Lear watches in horror, just barely scraping by himself. Although Dr. Lear may have a new problem now, as he realizes that he has someone else’s blood on him. Does this mean that Dr. Lear has been contaminated? We’ll have to wait and see.

Overall, the episode did not draw me in the same way that episode 3 did, as it almost felt like a transition or setup for what’s to come. I think that we still have a lot in play here and I am interested to see what happens next. I’m hoping that episode 5 will get us back on track with the fast paced tempo of the previous three episodes, although I do feel that the background story for Anthony was revealing. It’s interesting to see how both Carter and Shauna were betrayed and hurt in the past, allowing Fanning to manipulate their weaknesses into an illusion of power. Fanning may not be powerful on his own as Patient Zero, but it’s clear that he is building an army and they may become unstoppable. Stay tuned!

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on The Passage in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

When Kallie Bennett, a jaded teenage girl plagued by her alcoholic mother and her peers molded out of sheer bubble gum perfection, chases after Alice in Wonderland herself, she ends up lost in her own version of Wonderland, which forces her to face her utmost fears and introduces her to familiar characters with a dark twist. Among these characters is Ches, a gorgeous vampire with a conflicted conscience, who becomes Kallie’s guide and blossoming love interest. She also crosses paths with Queen Hartley, a manipulative witch who has the power to strip away one’s memories and imagination, which brings a bone chilling new meaning to “off with their heads.” In The Search for Alice, Kallie starts to realize that her Wonderland is just as frightening as her own reality and that she cannot always run away from her problems. She must figure out a way to defeat Queen Hartley and return home before it is too late, but she soon learns that escaping Wonderland means leaving Ches behind forever.
