Holly rings her school to tell them she is staying at home. She isn’t sick. She just can’t bring herself to go. “Bad things are going to happen today,” she says just above a whisper, her voice cracking. But bad things happen to Holly most days; she is bullied constantly, little jibes from girls who

The Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel often showcases strong women, and so many viewers were excited about this film, especially the visually impaired community. She isn’t pitied when Emily Main loses her eyesight in Guiding Emily. Instead, she’s portrayed as a strong, capable female who can overcome this and become even more vital than she
What a nailbiter! One could envision a wildfire hitting Virgin River would be intense beyond measure, bringing all sorts of panic, drama, and heroic moments. And Virgin River Season 5 Episode 5 didn’t fall short on that in the least, with a gripping installment ending in a cliffhanger with a girl on the edge of
Give Joe Leaphorn credit for finding a way to get justice for his murdered son, J.J. But he didn’t exactly go through proper channels to do so on Dark Winds Season 2 Episode 6. Although he didn’t need to be told about the concepts, Joe was caught between white man’s justice and Indian justice. Fortunately, he
Shawn’s suicide story was a masterclass in how NOT to write about mental health issues. It’s a shame because if handled correctly, his struggle with suicidal feelings could have been as emotional as JJ’s similar turmoil after he shot Theo in 2017. But on Days of Our Lives during the week of 8-28-23, we got
Is Bottom Dollar no more? Seemingly out of the blue, Doug stumbled upon some incriminating evidence hastily thrown away in his office on Minx Season 2 Episode 7 that sent him into a spiral. Could the company he built from the ground up really be gone just like that? Since Constance bought Bottom Dollar, she’s
The top ten has descended upon us, and the competition couldn’t be hotter and more emotional. At this point in the game, it’s tough to see anyone go home because they’ve devoted so much of their time to improving and growing while delivering great dishes. A fish challenge on MasterChef Season 13 Episode 13 unleashed
There was no relief at being home for Jamila and Trevante. That’s because both were still haunted by not knowing the fate of Casper on Invasion Season 2 Episode 2. It’s a shame since Jamila and Trevante went through so much to return to their families. Jamila was one of the standout characters of Invasion Season
Life is filled with second chances and new starts, and no matter how settled you might be in your world, something is always coming your way to upend it. On When Calls the Heart Season 10 Episode 5, Rosemary and Lee realize that having a child of their own is entirely different than caring for
I’m not sure what it says about this season that the best installment thus far had everyone paired up and scattered around. It’s clear that the objective for this second effort has been to show the next step in Minx’s evolution: its success. And it’s been hard for some, while nearly everyone and every relationship
This is the end, Riverdale fans! After many years of milkshakes and mischief, we’ve made it to Riverdale Season 7 Episode 20. The series finale was a roller coaster of emotions for the characters and us watching at home. There are plenty of sweet endings and sad goodbyes for these beloved characters we’ve known for
Well, that’s more like it. While Raylan still doesn’t pull a trigger — literally or metaphorically — on Justified: City Primeval Season 1 Episode 7, the pacing and building pressure of the action has a familiar edge to it. The showrunners do seem intent on making it painfully obvious that Detroit ain’t Harlan. They subvert
Joe Leaphorn can become a bit obsessed, can’t he, especially when he was chasing the man who he had been told staged the explosion that killed his son J.J. on Dark Winds Season 2 Episode 4. This has been the central metaphysical mystery in Joe’s life for the past few years. Why was his son taken
The week we dreaded finally came, and it was as beautiful as it was heartbreaking. Since John Aniston’s death in November of 2022, fans knew that Days of Our Lives would eventually have to write his iconic character out. And on Days of Our Lives during the week of 8-14-23, Victor’s family learned he had
It was a battle of the sexes all over the place on Minx Season 2 Episode 5, which saw the backdrop of the infamous Billie Jean King versus Bobby Riggs tennis match create a real-time divide between the women and men. While Joyce and Doug were off in Vegas trying to sell the international rights
Average Joe doesn’t care much about my well-being now, does it? I kid, but also not really because the closing minutes of Average Joe Season 1 Episode 10 were jaw-dropping and would have had me clutching my pearls if I owned any. In a day and age where so many are afraid to take risks
Oof, while they took us to the ball game, there wasn’t exactly a home run anywhere. There was another field challenge on MasterChef Season 13 Episode 10, and it was as disastrous as the previous ones, with the red and blue team, comprised of two regions, struggling. And while there was more than a couple
Special Ops: Lioness Season 1 Episode 5 doesn’t allow Joe to linger or wallow over issues, which is a blessing and a curse. As she deals with the direct aftermath of her daughter Kate’s traumatic car accident, Cruz heals from her assault on her own. Joe’s complex emotions about Kate and Cruz are palpable, but
Wait, what? SHAWN is the new Commissioner? Shawn, who was recently suspended for drinking on the job? And that wasn’t the least realistic story on Days of Our Lives during the week of 8-07-23, either! Things often happen in Salem that would never happen in real life, but these stories took the cake. The new
Billions has always explored the one percent’s relationship with the rest of the world in a way most people have never considered. It has shown how having staggering amounts of money can render some people above the law because, in a predominantly capitalistic world, those with a lot of money have a millennium’s worth of
Every season of The Chi feels like the show has reinvented itself, keeping the same drift but with different strokes. The Chi Season 6 Episode 1 caught us up with where everyone was emotionally, economically, and of course, romantically. The cold open felt like a flashback as we met Keisha and Emmett in a familiar position
This season hurts. Sometimes it hurts in a good way and other times terribly, and The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 Episode 6 had a shit ton of both. Belly and the gang begrudgingly made peace with losing the house and opted to have a farewell party. But we all know teen parties never
Minx is making that money, honey! And everyone was reaping the rewards on Minx Season 2 Episode 3. Though you know what they say about getting everything you ever wanted, don’t you? Yeah, me either. But maybe one day, we’ll be lucky enough to find out. It’s been six months since Constance bought Bottom Dollar,
Season finales are tricky to pull off, but one thing that has become clear after watching many bad ones is that no one needs huge cliffhangers or shocking deaths. Heartstopper’s allure has always been that even when things are bad, there is always the possibility of life getting better, and they always do in this
We got a double elimination as the competition heated up further. The South and Northeast take more hits during MasterChef Season 13 Episode 8, as we’re dwindling and the best begin to emerge. Jennifer’s reign as Queen ended and nearly cost her everything, while Kennedy continued to slay everyone’s existence and procure the best response.
The mind of Jeremiah Fisher is a lovely place. Keeping with the theme of trying new things, The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 Episode 5 tried something different by putting us in the headspace of Jeremiah instead of Belly. As the weaker aspect of this love triangle, one of whom we knew the least
Events move alarmingly quickly on Good Omens Season 2 Episode 5 from odd to impossible to perilously bonkers. For a show that has taken us to Scotland and Uz, with meandering detours through prehistory and Biblical times, introducing graverobbers, Nazis, and Job, it escalates a neighborhood theme party to an infernal siege with barely a
Taylor Sheridan’s Special Ops: Lioness paints several pictures in its premiere but doesn’t allow viewers to settle into any of them. This, it seems, is by design. Things are meant to move quickly in Special Ops: Lioness Season 1 Episode 1, “Sacrificial Soldiers.” There is never enough time to truly stop and reflect, both within
Whenever an ex wants to have dinner, it sends up red flags. Cal’s ex-girlfriend Vicky tried playing games with him and Maddie on Sweet Magnolias Season 3 Episode 9, but Maddie didn’t do it. This was also the first episode during Season 3 where the young people had storyline arcs and showed their maturing. Cal
Grief is funny in that sometimes you can forget it for a bit, let loose, have fun, and bask in this one perfect day. And then, like the other shoe dropping, or the rug being literally ripped from beneath your feet, it all comes crashing down again. And thanks to the tense-filled moments at the
