NCIS: Origins
In episode four, All’s Not Lost a school teacher’s home has been entered by
an assailant who shoots her. The 12
year old girl who lived with her is missing, presumed kidnapped by the
killer. Was the teacher the target or
the girl, whose father is serving overseas?
Once again Lala tries to intervene to keep Gibbs from
working a case. She feels Gibbs will be undone trying to rescue the child when
he had been able to do nothing to save his own child.
It turns out Gibbs is more motivated than anyone, and he finds her while the team is out looking in the woods. Despite efforts from Lala and the Office Manager (?) Mary Jo to talk to Mildred about the killer, did she see him, can she describe him, the girl shuts down their efforts.
When Gibbs steps in, completely comfortable taking to a
little girl in just the way a father would know how to approach a tough topic,
she feels safe enough to help him with a description using a flip book with
different facial features in it.
Unfortunately, the killer finds the girl and a tense fight
ensues in a dark basement, with the girl hiding under the steps.
Lots of heartbreaking moments for Gibbs in this episode.
Only Murders In The Building
In the finale of this season My Best Friend’s Wedding
the murderer is revealed. Interestingly,
the trick of how the killer shot from the west wing of the building, then made
his way over to clean up and hide Sazz’s
body is solved. The killer was
her stunt protégé who could easily scrabble along a ledge nobody noticed all
along.
Charles and Oliver bravely want to break into Dudenoff’s apartment to rescue Mabel using the same path. They do, taking a shorter route. The two of them on the ledge is pure slapstick comedy.
All is wrapped up, Oliver and Loretta get married, though
she’s off to New Zealand for a new show.
Tossed in at the last is the victim of season five,
seemingly dead in a fountain of wine (?).
Survivor
People may complain about advantages, but they can be
great. While everyone is dozing, Sol
finds a hidden advantage at the reward feast. He
is on a team who is safe from tribal.
The advantage asks him to give the advantage to someone on the team
which will be going to tribal. Rachel is the recipient, and she can use it to
leave tribal safely and not vote or be voted on (she was the one going), or she
can block a vote. She only reads aloud
the part at tribal that allows her to leave.
Brilliantly, this leaves the Tuku tribe members stunned and
at a loss, because they all had plans that included Rachel, the only non Tuku
in the group. They scrambled quickly,
and voted out Tiyana, the stewardess who had just emotionally spoken about how
important it was for her to make the jury, which she did not.
During the entire process Sol gave an award winning
performance, looking and sounding surprised and astounded by this turn of
events.
Matlock
With episode four The Rabbit and the Hawk, Matty
figures out who in the law firm was responsible for hiding opioid information
for a big pharmaceutical company. The
guilty party pulls off a particularly dirty move that affects the current case
for Olympia and company. Then he goes
golfing, happy with his work.
Matty now has to find a way to prove what he did.
The Great British Baking Show
Featuring an Autumn
theme, with pies and cakes using traditional fall ingredients. What spectacular work for all of the bakers,
but my beloved Nelly went home. Though her showstopper looked great, the
flavors proved to be very much disliked by the judges.
Illiyin's cake.
