About Last Night…CHICAGO MED, CHICAGO FIRE, CHICAGO P.D., and More

Let’s talk about Wednesday night’s TV!

THE MASKED SINGER: Okay, it’s very cute Matthew Lawrence sang a TLC song when he’s dating Chilli. And, yeah, I had no clue he could sing like that.

CHICAGO MED: Oh my God, poor Lizzy. Poor Hannah. What an absolutely awful, awful, awful situation…and made worse, arguably, by Hannah being in the operating room. Ugh, I hope they’re both okay.

That being said, I was laughing out loud at the protocol for a snake being in a hospital is that no one gets told. It makes sense! (Panic would be bad.) But, also, my God. Not a fun thing to be surprised with when you’re already at the freaking hospital. I’m loving Frost and Ripley together, too, though. What a fun, unexpected friendship that’s turned out to be.

WILD CARDS: Okay, I never needed a wedding for Max and Ellis—them to get together, clearly, but in whatever way they wanted—but after hearing her talk about her dream/perfect wedding? Oh, I want that for her so, so, so much. And MARC THE CAT AS A RING BEARER?! (I mean, here, in this episode, but also in the eventual Max and Ellis wedding, please and thanks.)

THE FLOOR: Aw, I’m sad that Brian lost. I figured it would be hard for him to go all the way, but I was hoping he would somehow pull off a miracle. Alas.

Language was a hard category—more difficult than I would have thought. (Couldn’t it have been, like, a single word versus a two-word phrase?) And, wow, Lisa going against David was insane; she sacrificed herself. We’ll see how this all shakes out next week.

CHICAGO FIRE: This was a fantastic episode. First of all, it’ll always be great to have Boden back. But it was especially great to see him determined to get the truth while also protecting his former team. He wasn’t going to lie to them or falsely protect them, but he would do everything in his power to show the truth.

As much as I loved seeing Boden with our guys, the dynamic that compelled me the most was the one between him and Pascal. It was brand new, they had shared this one important job, and the discomfort at points from Pascal was just so evident. It was deliciously tense and fantastically acted/directed/written. (And given how much, say, Kidd loves Boden, it meant even more that she did make sure to tell him she had Pascal’s back in this. She wasn’t picking him over Boden, she was just making it clear she trusted Pascal, too.)

My one issue was how they played the mystery of who was injured only because Damon being the one hurt really should have complicated things for Severide and Kidd more than it did. It’s one thing to be coy about who the firefighter fighting for their life is if it’s everyone has a relatively equal stake in their survival. For Severide and Kidd, that’s family. Still new! But family.

CHICAGO P.D.: Oh man, Torres, what are you doing? Sigh. I’m glad Atwater pushed Voight to tell the team what was going on—though Torres not realizing, uh, he was part of the problem was so funny—and hopefully they can come up with something now to get out from under Reid’s thumb.

But it also feels like Chapman’s bit at the end might be some sort of grim foreshadowing. She noted there needed to be a line, and Voight was honest about not knowing where the line was. While that’s true, there’s a whole lot of people putting their lives and careers on the line here. Fingers crossed things don’t (figuratively, I hope) blow up.
