The Season 3 Plot, Courtesy of Fox:
Entering its third season, The Resident continues to rip back the curtain and reveal the truth of what really happens, both good and bad, in hospitals across the country. The provocative medical drama follows a group of doctors at Chastain Memorial Hospital, as they face personal and professional challenges on a daily basis while fighting for their patients.
In season three, Red Rock Mountain Medical has taken over, inserting its own doctors – including new neurosurgeon Dr. Barrett Cain – and nurses into the well-oiled machine that was once Chastain Memorial Hospital, and causing the doctors to fight harder than ever against the corrupting influence of money in healthcare. The hospital is being run like a profit-hungry corporation – reaping huge financial gains, while risking the lives of its patients.
Dr. Randolph Bell is well-aware of the dangerous deal he has made with Red Rock in order to get Chastain out of its financial crisis and, as a result, initially turns a blind eye to the new corporate mantra of profits over patients. It’s not long before Dr. Conrad Hawkins incurs Red Rock’s fury when he confronts the problems head-on, becoming a whistleblower. The good fight he leads could ultimately threaten everything he holds dear, including his ability to practice medicine.
The Justice League of young healthcare providers must unite to fight for and with him, with Nicolette “Nic” Nevins in the lead. Nic attempts to recover from a devastating personal loss by throwing herself into patient care and her work for the uninsured through her clinic.
Dr. Devon Pravesh will find himself rotating out of the ER and gaining experience and power of his own in new positions within the hospital, eventually moving up to a first-year resident. Dr. AJ Austin will continue to bond with his mentee, the exceptionally talented surgeon, Dr. Mina Okafor. She’ll be his support as he navigates a relationship with his complicated biological family, while striving to maintain one with the parents who raised him. Okafor will be faced with a potential new family dynamic of her own, when her best friend, Adaku, who carries the BRCA breast cancer gene, returns pregnant with no father in the picture.
Meanwhile, the power and ruthlessness of new neurosurgeon Dr. Cain takes the hospital by storm. He embodies all the evil that can result when doctors care more for the bottom line than for their patients. Dr. Kitt Voss is the first to realize that his charm hides a medical demon, but standing against him could have serious consequences for her future. Cain’s ability to generate millions for Chastain leaves him free to exact swift revenge on those who oppose him – and no one is off-limits.
Jubal knows one of the victims of a murder the team’s investigating in CBS’s FBI season two episode 14. “Studio Gangster,” directed by Alex Chapple from a script by Rick Eid, will air on Tuesday, January 28, 2020 at 9pm ET/PT.

“Studio Gangster” Plot – When a U.S. attorney is found dead steps away from the body of a private escort, the team must piece together what connected the two seemingly random victims. Also, Jubal’s connection with one of the victims makes finding the killer much more personal.
The FBI Plot, Courtesy of CBS:
“FBI is a fast-paced drama about the inner workings of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This elite unit brings to bear all their talents, intellect and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep New York and the country safe. Born into a multigenerational law enforcement family, Special Agent Maggie Bell commits deeply to the people she works with as well as those she protects. Her partner is Special Agent Omar Adom ‘OA’ Zidan, a West Point graduate via Bushwick who spent two years undercover for the DEA before being cherry-picked by the FBI.
Overseeing them is Special Agent in Charge, Isobel Castille, who operates under intense pressure and has undeniable command authority. The team also includes Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, the nerve center of the office whose ability to easily relate to and engage with both superiors and subordinates makes him a master motivator. Kristen Chazal is the team’s most valued resource, a brilliant analyst recruited straight out of university who can piece together the big picture faster than anyone. These first-class agents tenaciously investigate cases of tremendous magnitude, including terrorism, organized crime and counterintelligence.”

“Parallel Trenches” Plot – The party fallout wreaks havoc on Addy, Beth and Colette’s nerves, leading to a shocking accident.
Details on Season 1, Courtesy of USA Network:
“Dare Me is an unflinching exploration of teen angst, jealousy, loyalty and the dynamics of power in a small Midwestern town.
Peering behind the all-American facade, the series dives into the cutthroat world of competitive high school cheerleading. It follows the fraught relationship between two best friends (Guardiola and Kelly) after a new coach (Fitzgerald) arrives to bring their team to prominence. While the girls’ friendship is put to the test, their young lives are changed forever when a shocking crime rocks their quiet rust belt town.
Part coming-of-age story, part sports drama, part murder mystery, Dare Me exposes the physical and psychological extremes that some young women are willing to endure in order to get ahead.”

“Give this to Zeke when you see him,” says Cal (Jack Messina) to Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) as he hands her a drawing he made of Zeke about to be pulled out of Flight 828 in season two episode three of NBC’s mystery drama, Manifest.
As the episode begins, Dr. Saanvi Bahl (Parveen Kaur) is talking to her therapist aka The Major (Elizabeth Marvel) about still being upset the man she was in love with didn’t show up on the plane to fly with her to Jamaica. After telling Saanvi she should send him the email she has written explaining how she feels, The Major maneuvers the conversation on to Saanvi’s work. Her goal: to get her talking more about her theory the passengers of Flight 828 were all genetically altered.
Meanwhile, Ben (Joss Dallas), Vance (Daryl Edwards), and Michaela know someone is spying on Saanvi and her work. Vance comes up with the idea for Ben to give Saanvi a fake file on a passenger of 828 so that she might pass it on, unknowingly, to the spy. Ben doesn’t like lying to Saanvi and is even less thrilled to use her as bait but he reluctantly agrees.
Michaela reaches out to a public defender friend of hers and gets her to agree to take Zeke’s case.
Olive (Luna Blaise) attends another “Believers” meeting and is starting to feel like it’s a place she belongs. She has also cut her hair and streaked it. Ben’s taken a little aback by her appearance, but with nudging from Michaela he – awkwardly – supports his daughter.
Michaela wants to see Zeke (Matt Long) after having a calling showing him getting sucked out of the plane but discovers he’s been transferred. The police log doesn’t show where to.
Michaela calls Ben, worried that it might be The Major’s doing. He tries to calm her down, assuring her if The Major does have Zeke they will find him when they find The Major. As she gets off the phone, Jared (J.R. Ramirez) confronts her about helping get Zeke a public defender. They quietly talk and she asks him to do the right thing and say the shooting was an accident. He refuses. Michaela warns him to be prepared then. He asks if that’s a threat and she says it didn’t have to be.
Grace (Athena Karkanis) meets a pregnant mom at an exercise class and gets to talking. As the woman gets in her car and starts to leave, Grace has a calling telling her to open her eyes. She then has a vision of a gargoyle on her SUV.
When she gets home, Grace tells Ben about the calling and she and Cal try to find look up the woman’s identity so Grace can help her. Olive, sitting nearby doing her homework, pouts feeling left out.
Ben visits Saanvi and gives her the fake file on the passenger. She gets excited and wants to go to him in Philadelphia, but Ben says he has a lecture in the hopes of securing a new job.
There’s a montage of Michaela making calls to every place she can think of to try to find Zeke. Finally, she finds where he’s being kept. She goes to see him and uses her badge to charge past the guard. Michaela tells a strapped-down Zeke he needs to call the public defender and get released. He apologizes, saying he was wrong and he knows now he’s supposed to be with her.
Grace and Cal track the pregnant lady to a soccer field where her kids are playing. The woman’s bothered seeing Grace and quickly blows her off. Grace has the same calling again.
Ben delivers his lecture to a full auditorium of students. At first a few try to ask questions about his experience on Flight 828 and what he thinks happened. Luckily, TJ (Garrett Wareing) – who Ben helped in last week’s episode – asks him a mathematical question to quiet the crowd and get Ben back on track.

Later, Ben goes to see Saanvi and warns her The Major has a mole in her lab. He also admits he and Vance gave her a dummy file as bait to try to lure out the spy. Saanvi’s justifiably very upset, feeling betrayed by Ben and demands he leave.
A short while later, Saanvi sees her overly eager assistant and suspects he might be the spy. She tells him their work has been a waste of time and she doesn’t need him anymore. Saanvi calls her therapist and confesses she’s had a very bad day, asking if she’ll make time for her.
Grace tries again to talk to the pregnant woman who’s the subject of her callings, but this time the woman becomes verbally abusive. The stranger believes she and her “abomination” of a son from Flight 828 need to stay away from her. Grace is shocked by her venomous attack.
Zeke’s trial gets underway and his attorney convinces the judge to throw out the plea of guilty, explaining he didn’t have proper representation and was not in a place mentally to make that judgment. She then calls up Michaela to testify.
Michaela tells the court the shooting was an accident and she won’t let an innocent man go to prison. She goes on to say Jared abused his badge and illegally hunted and harassed Zeke, and that if he wasn’t at her apartment the shooting wouldn’t have happened. The judge changes the charge to a misdemeanor of handling an illegal firearm. Zeke pleads guilty to that lesser charge and the judge declares time served. Zeke’s free to go.
Michaela’s there to pick up Zeke when he’s released and takes him to Ben’s house for dinner.
Saanvi talks to her therapist about Ben and feeling betrayed. She also tells her about a discovery she made and that it’s locked in her fridge in her lab.
Olive attends another meeting of the Believers and decides to share with the large group that her dad, brother, and aunt were all passengers on Flight 828.
Ben’s offered a job at the college. One of the professors congratulates Ben before getting into a car with his wife – the pregnant woman Grace has been trying to help. When sits in the passenger seat, the woman asks what he did. He tells her, “I hired him. Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly.”
Saanvi shows Ben and Vance footage of a camera she set up to secretly record anyone who might try to get into her fridge. Sure enough, her tech assistant is on the footage. She tells Ben and Vance she only told one person about her breakthrough being in her fridge and that person was her therapist. Vance shows her photos of high-ranking female DOD employees and she spots her therapist and points her out. The therapist is actually Major Fritz.
The trailer for Netflix’s Horse Girl starts off fairly normally. A young woman (GLOW‘s Alison Brie) seems rather lonely but not shut off. Just as her social life appears to be blossoming, she begins having weird dreams which she believes to be connected to an alien abduction.
In addition to Alison Brie, the cast includes Debby Ryan (Insatiable), John Reynolds (Stranger Things), Molly Shannon (Will & Grace), John Ortiz (Messiah), Paul Reiser (Mad About You), and Jay Duplass (The Mindy Project).
Alison Brie co-wrote the screenplay with director Jeff Baena. Brie and Baena also produced along with Mel Eslyn and Alana Carithers. Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass executive produced.
Horse Girl will premiere in theaters and on Netflix on February 7, 2020.
The Plot:
“Sarah (Brie), a socially isolated arts and crafts store employee, finds herself more content in the company of horses and supernatural crime shows than people. But when a series of strangely surreal dreams upend the simplicity of her waking life, Sarah struggles to distinguish her visions from reality. Directed by Jeff Baena, Horse Girl is a darkly humorous psychological thriller about a woman’s search for the truth, however abstract it may be.”

Malcolm’s in more trouble than usual in Fox’s Prodigal Son season one episode 12. “Internal Affairs” is set to air on Monday, January 27, 2020 at 9pm ET/PT.
Michael Sheen stars as convicted serial killer Dr. Martin Whitly. Tom Payne plays Dr. Whitly’s conflicted son, Malcolm Bright. The cast also includes Bellamy Young as Jessica Whitly, Lou Diamond Phillips as Gil Arroyo, Halston Sage as Ainsley Whitly, Aurora Perrineau as Dani Powell, Frank Harts as JT Tarmel, and Keiko Agena as Edrisa Tanaka.
“Internal Affairs” Plot – Following a mysterious and catastrophic incident in the precinct, Bright faces an internal affairs review as Gil and the team worry about his mental health.
Season One Details:
“Malcolm Bright (Payne) has a gift. He knows how killers think and how their minds work. Why? Back in the 1990s, his father was one of the worst, a notorious serial killer called ‘The Surgeon.’ So it makes sense Bright is the best criminal psychologist around; murder is the family business.
He will use his twisted genius to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers, all while dealing with a manipulative mother, annoyingly normal sister, a homicidal father still looking to bond with his prodigal son, and his own constantly evolving neuroses.
Meet the happy family. Dr. Martin Whitly (Sheen) is intelligent, wealthy, charismatic and also happens to be a predatory sociopath who killed at least 23 people. Bright’s mother, Jessica Whitly (Young), an elegant and WASPy New Yorker, wields sarcasm like a samurai sword and has an opinion on every aspect of Bright’s life.
Perhaps Bright’s only ally is his sister, Ainsley Whitley (Sage), a TV journalist who wishes her brother would “take a break from murder” and have a normal life.
Unfortunately for his sister, the only way Bright feels normal is by solving cases with the help of his longtime mentor, NYPD Detective Gil Arroyo (Phillips). Arroyo’s one of the best detectives around, and he expects no less from his team – Detective Dani Powell (Perrineau), a headstrong no-nonsense cop who quickly becomes impressed with Bright’s work; and Detective JT Tarmel (Harts), a born-and-bred New Yorker who questions whether Bright is a psychopath himself.
