Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi wrote the script and produced the drama along with Fred Berger. Hay and Manfredi previously team up with director Kusama on The Invitation and Aeon Flux.
In addition to Nicole Kidman, the cast includes Sebastian Stan, Toby Kebbell, Tatiana Maslany, Bradley Whitford, Jade Pettyjohn, and Scoot McNairy.

The Destroyer Plot:
“Destroyer follows the moral and existential odyssey of LAPD detective Erin Bell who, as a young cop, was placed undercover with a gang in the California desert with tragic results. When the leader of that gang re-emerges many years later, she must work her way back through the remaining members and into her own history with them to finally reckon with the demons that destroyed her past.”

“Even a Ferrari needs a tune-up once in a while,” says Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) to Cisco (Carlos Valdes) who’s struggling to get over Gypsy with help from Caitlin and Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) in season five episode two of The CW’s The Flash.
The episode begins with a fight between Cicada (Chris Klein) and Gridlock. Cicada uses his lightning bolt-shaped dagger to neutralize Gridlock’s powers and then engages him in hand-to-hand combat. Cicada is much better than Gridlock and it doesn’t take long for him to win, knocking Gridlock on the ground. Cicada stabs Gridlock with his dagger and kills him. Cicada then goes to what looks to be his job as a janitor.
At Joe’s house, Barry (Grant Gustin) and Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) come clean and tell Team Flash the real reason Nora time traveled was to finally meet Barry because she grew up without him. Nora shows the group the future newspaper article indicating Barry never returns after disappearing in 2024. Iris (Candice Patton) says, “So what,” and points out the newspaper article has changed before and that Team Flash will change it again. Cisco backs her up by saying Team Flash will knock the future on its ass and Caitlin responds, “Ditto.”
Cecile (Danielle Nicolet) talks to Joe (Jessie L. Martin) and tells him that she thinks she is losing her powers.
At S.T.A.R. Labs, Cisco is watching old images and messages from Gypsy when Caitlin comes in to check on him. Cisco admits he’s having a real hard time getting over the break-up and that he can’t vibe because he keeps seeing her and smelling her, that they’re still connected. Ralph then asks Cisco to vibe the fake death certificate of Caitlin’s dad, but Caitlin enlists Ralph to help her get Cisco over Gypsy instead.
A new meta-human villain named Vanessa shows up and attacks known gunrunners in Central City. She takes their inventory and kills one of the bosses.
The next day, Barry’s at the crime scene with Captain Singh (Patrick Sabongui) who’s concerned with the guns now on the street Central City could turn into a war zone. Nora surprises tehm when she shows up and tells Singh that Central City’s CSIs are on the case. Singh asks who she is, and Barry tells him she’s his intern. He brought her in to help get through all the cases that built up while he was suspended.
Barry has to stop Nora when she tries to touch the evidence, advising her that in 2018 they still have to use gloves and conduct the investigation the old-fashioned way. It seems in Nora’s time they have really cool advanced technology to keep crime scenes from getting contaminated. Iris shows up and talks to Singh about Gridlock. He tells her off the record that he was killed when his prison convoy was attacked but they don’t have any leads yet.
Ralph’s at his P.I. office going over with Cisco the “Book of Ralph” and his 27 steps to getting over the love of your life. Cisco doesn’t want to participate, but Caitlin encourages him to. Ralph assures them Cisco is in need of a transformation.
Iris interviews one of the wounded officers from the convoy and he doesn’t remember much. He got knocked out and when he woke up on the ground, Gridlock was dead.
At Joe’s house, Cecile reveals she thinks she found a way to keep hearing their baby’s thoughts using a special device. Joe disagrees, believing they’ll figure it out without the device. Just then the baby cries and Joe takes care of her.
Back at the CCPD labs, Barry and Nora are able to uncover the identity of the meta who attacked the gunrunners through the evidence they collected. Her name is Vanessa Jensen and they get a clue as to where she’s doing a gun deal. Nora and Flash suit up to take her down.
When they get there, Vanessa’s arguing with Bruno, the crime boss she took the guns from. She attacks him with her powers. Barry tells Nora to survey the perimeter but she speeds over and puts Bruno in the truck full of guns and closes the rear holding door. “Sorry, I can’t let you hurt him,” says Nora to Vanessa who then uses her powers on Nora and traps her in a block of energy. The Flash speeds over and Vanessa uses her powers to throw the energy block with Nora inside into the air and across the city. The Flash speeds off and gets ahead of it, using his speed to create a controlling wind to slow the energy block and safely land it on the ground. The energy pops and Nora is free but embarrassed.
Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, Caitlin checks Nora over and determines she’s okay. A very uninspired Cisco starts to leave and tosses out his nickname for Vanessa – Block – without putting any real thought into it. Barry looks at Caitlin and she tells him she and Ralph are trying to help Cisco get over Gypsy. She excuses herself to go after Cisco.
Ralph takes Cisco and Caitlin to his stylist so Cisco can have a makeover. Cisco gets his hair styled but not cut. He also gets a new hip suit which he hates. Cisco tells Ralph he’s had enough of this and would rather focus on Caitlin’s father’s fake death certificate. Cisco suggests they take it to Joe since he can’t vibe it and Joe can do some good old-fashioned police investigating. Caitlin replies, “No, that’s okay.” However, Ralph is intrigued and believes it’s a good idea. He’s about to call Joe when Caitlin yells, “STOP!” Surprised by her reaction, both Cisco and Ralph freeze at stare at her. “I need a break,” admits Caitlin before walking out.
Barry takes Nora back to S.T.A.R. Labs to train and to study the basics. She’s disappointed and eager to show him what she can do, so she races around. When she attempts to throw lightning she stumbles and accidentally hits Barry with it. “Dad!” yells Nora as she races over to him. He waves her off saying it’s okay. “I’ve been hit with lightening before,” says Barry.
Iris heads to Barry’s office and checks out what little video footage they have of the attack and murder of Gridlock. She can’t see much but she hears something that sounds like heavy breathing.
Barry asks Joe for some advice about Nora. He brings him up to speed about her behavior and not listening to him. Joe smiles and nods, asking Barry if he remembers his 4th grade science project. “All you had to do was build a plastic volcano and instead you built a working robot,” says Joe. Barry explains he was trying to impress him because he had taken him in; he was his hero. “Who do you think is Nora’s hero?” replies Joe.
Barry realizes Nora’s trying to impress him and asks Joe what he should do. Joe suggests Barry should let Nora know it’s okay to fail and that everyone makes mistakes. “Show her that you’ll always love her, no matter what. That’s what parents do,” says Joe. Barry thanks Joe and leaves. Cecile, who has been listening in and is deeply touched by Joe’s words goes over and kisses him. His words have given her new confidence in being a mom to a newborn.
Cisco finds Caitlin at Jitters and tells her he knows Gypsy wasn’t the one for him and encourages her to find out the truth about her dad. Caitlin, now upset and teary-eyed, admits to Cisco she’s afraid to because what if he doesn’t want anything to do with her. Cisco tells her if that’s the case, then she’ll know and that she would be better off knowing the truth instead of always wondering.
Barry plays Nora old videos of his early training days to show her that he didn’t start off an impressive hero. He needed to practice and learn to control and use his speed in order to become the protector of Central City.
A little later Iris, Barry, and Nora realize that Block’s powers would show up as a strong weather pattern. Even though they haven’t fixed the S.T.A.R. Labs satellite, they can watch the weather channels for news about a strange strong signal. It works and they track Block to another meet up with Bruno and some goons who want the guns back.
The Flash and XS speed around and take down Bruno and his thugs. The Flash tries to go for Block but she traps him in an energy block. Nora starts speeding around drawing her fire, hoping to do so until Block gets tired. Nora then speeds over and puts the power dampening cuffs on her, freeing The Flash of the energy block. That’s when Block screams out in pain and passes out. A cloaked figure appears.
Iris is listening in and Caitlin, Cisco, and Ralph show up asking what’s going on. They listen and hear Barry tell Nora to speed Block to a hospital. Iris asks who’s there and Barry tells her he doesn’t know. Cisco and Ralph suit up and Vibe portals them to Barry’s location. The cloaked figure is Cicada and he uses his lightning bolt dagger which lights up followed by The Flash, Vibe and Elongated Man discovering their powers are gone.
Cicada takes them on and is much better at hand-to-hand combat than they are. Vibe tries to get the dagger but Cicada rips it from his hands, cutting them in the process. Cicada is about stab a beaten-up Flash with his dagger but stops when he hears Nora yell, “Dad!” Cicada looks at her and then down at The Flash. He suddenly ceases to attack and leaves the beaten trio of superheroes lying there.
Once more to S.T.A.R. Labs and in the medical bay Caitlin’s treating their wounds. Cisco uses his bandaged hands to grab the fake death certificate. Caitlin assures Cisco it’s not important, but he tells her if she wants to know he can vibe it now. Caitlin’s hesitant but Ralph reminds her that whatever she decides, they have her back and will support her. She agrees and Cisco vibes while holding the phony death certificate and touching Caitlin. Caitlin sees in the vision her mother forging the certificate. Cisco breaks off the vision and it appears to have taken a lot out of him. Caitlin tells Ralph and Cisco what she saw and that’s when Barry calls for them to come to the cortex.
They enter and Iris shows them the video of Gridlock’s death. They can’t make out much and Ralph asks, “What are we looking for here?” Iris says for them to listen. Team Flash hears the heavy breathing and they realize it’s the cloaked man they just fought. Caitlin comments that his breathing sounds like an insect and Nora says, “Like a Cicada.” “Who is Cicada?” asks Barry.
The Flash Season 5 Episode 2 Review:
Funny, sweet, and a little scary, season five episode two titled “Blocked” introduced Team Flash to this season’s big villain who’ve they’ve already take a serious beating from during their first encounter. The episode also revealed a new lead into Caitlin’s father not being dead and her mother being part of the conspiracy. (Poor Caitlin!)
The standout performance goes to Danielle Panabaker for delivering the only truly serious and heartfelt scene in the episode. The scene in Jitters in which Panabaker as Caitlin reveals to Cisco just how scared she is to find out why her father faked his death followed by her admission that her greatest fear is he doesn’t want anything to do with her is truly moving. With her eyes tearing up and her lips quivering, Panabaker as Caitlin shows how much she has put her dad on a pedestal and is terrified of what the truth might hold. It’s a short but extremely effective scene.
With Team Flash already being introduced to the main villain this season, the next episode’s title “The Death of Vibe” has fans and critics concerned about the fate of Cisco Ramon. It’s safe to say dark and deadly days are ahead for Team Flash.
The latest video from Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina finds the series’ star Kiernan Shipka discussing her character and season one. “Her life up until 16 was very mortal. And on her 16th birthday she’s faced with signing her name in the Book of the Beast,” explains Kiernan Shipka in the two and a half minute video.
The new video also features Miranda Otto who plays Zelda Spellman. Otto describes Sabrina’s journey as being torn between two worlds and needing to decide on what path she’ll take.
Lucy Davis plays Hilda Spellman and in the video she confirms this 2018 series is vastly different from the Sabrina series of the ’90s. Cast members describe this version as edgier, darker, and definitely in the horror vein.
The series also stars Ross Lynch as Harvey Kinkle, Michelle Gomez as Mary Wardell, Chance Perdomo as Ambrose Spellman, Jaz Sinclair as Rosalind Walker, and Richard Coyle as Father Blackwood. The cast also includes Tati Gabrielle as Prudence, Adeline Rudolph as Agatha, Abigail Cowen as Dorcas, Lachlan Watson as Susie Putnam, and Bronson Pinchot as George Hawthorne.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, showrunner of The CW’s Riverdale and the chief creative officer of Archie Comics, wrote the script and executive produces. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Archie Comics CEO Jon Goldwater, and Lee Toland Krieger also serve as executive producers.
Netflix is set to launch the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on October 26, 2018.
The Plot:
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, starring Kiernan Shipka, imagines the origin and adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch as a dark coming-of-age story that traffics in horror, the occult and, of course, witchcraft. Tonally in the vein of Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist, this adaptation finds Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature — half-witch, half-mortal — while standing against the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit.

FX’s riveting new drama, Mayans M.C., continues with season one episode seven airing on October 16, 2018. The episode titled “Cucaracha/K’uruch” begins inside EZ’s trailer. EZ (JD Pardo) places mini-cassettes in a brown paper bag.
At the clubhouse, Bishop (Michael Irby), Taza (Raoul Max Trujillo), and Tranq (Frankie Loyal) are discussing what went down at the border with Miguel Galindo when Angel (Clayton Cardenas) interrupts with a story to tell. He lies and says the reason they lost Dennis during the chase is because they came across soft dirt and Gilly fell into what they later discovered was an old tunnel. That tunnel led to another tunnel that was obviously in use and reached a half-mile into Mexico. The other end led to Vicky’s place.
Angel apologizes for not revealing this earlier, saying he was worried about the heat it would draw with everything else that’s going down. Bishop accepts the story and instructs Angel to keep it to himself for now.
Angel receives a text from Adelita and, along with EZ, heads to the warehouse. They then take off on a short road trip on this side of the border, and Adelita (Carla Baratta) asks about their family. They explain their dad never remarried and still talks to their mother’s ashes. They drop Adelita off at a parked car in the middle of nowhere, and Angel promises to explain everything to EZ once they meet up with Coco and Gilly.
Meanwhile, Dita Galindo (Ada Maris), Emily Thomas (Sarah Bolger), and Devante (Tony Plana) wait outside the border patrol station. Miguel’s still locked up inside, suffering the indignity of being splashed with another inmate’s urine.
Back at the clubhouse, Angel’s apparently told his group what’s about to go down with the rebels. EZ’s then sent out to work on the motorcycles while Angel and his people are called into a meeting. Galindo’s current state of incarceration is discussed, and it’s pointed out that it’s unusual Galindo hasn’t been sprung by his lawyers. Despite that, they’ll go about making the runs as usual.
EZ’s outside when Chucky (Michael Ornstein) pulls up with Coco’s daughter, Letty (Emily Tosta). Coco asked to see her and Chucky’s brought her in and is very enthusiastic about preparing her a delicious breakfast. After the meeting breaks up, Coco (Richard Cabral) introduces the club to Leticia who’s busy eating a hearty breakfast from Chef Chucky.
Bishop whispers to Chucky, wondering if this is the girl he saw with Coco. Tensions ease up a bit when Chucky confirms she is. Bishop, showing he’s a decent dude, gives Coco the day off to hang with Letty. EZ takes his place on the run.
The day’s also just beginning for Felipe (Edward James Olmos). He speaks to his dead wife and then realizes her urn is missing. He’s shocked to find Adelita inside his house and she’s the one who moved the urn. Felipe demands to know her identity and she calls him by his real name without revealing hers. She then pulls out a copy of the same photo Felipe keeps hidden in a locked box, although her photo is torn and doesn’t include the severed heads.
The man in the photo with Felipe is her father. She watched him be murdered by the cartel while she was hiding in a heating vent. She also saw her mother and baby brother butchered. Felipe realizes she’s Pedro’s kid and she reveals she’s now going by Adelita. He wonders how she found him, and she admits it was through his sons who’ve been helping the rebels. She does, however, assure him his sons don’t know about his connection to her father.
Felipe cuts to the chase, asking what she wants. She explains that when she was six the Galindos tracked them down and killed her family. Her father had to watch as they cut her brother and mother to pieces. Galindo told her father he had been betrayed by a friend, someone who broke his sacred trust. They then decapitated him.
Adelita believes Felipe sold out his old partner. She’s there to kill him, but Felipe has information she’s missing.
Agent Kevin Jimenez (Maurice Compte) shows up at work and informs his supervisor that EZ’s giving him a bag today. Unfortunately, it’s too late and Kevin’s being dismissed from the case. They’re going to bring in EZ Reyes using local cops, and Kevin realizes that will expose Reyes’ actions to the club. The supervisor doesn’t care, and Kevin accuses him of not caring because EZ will be just another dead Mexican. “You’ll probably get a bonus for that in this administration,” says Kevin before being booted from the office.
Back at Felipe’s, Adelita continues to hold a gun to his head as he opens the locked box with the photo. He shows her his copy, complete with the severed heads. He explains they sold their souls to the cartel, showing other photos of their atrocities.
Felipe goes on to explain her father remained in after he quit. His wife was pregnant with Angel, but her father was still single and continued to work for the cartel. Felipe claims he didn’t keep up with Pedro after he fled that life.

Adelita wants to know who else would have been aware of Pedro’s whereabouts. Felipe believes it was the person who took the photo, the third member of their small group who did everything together. The man’s name was Rodrigo and he’s a priest. He’s also the one who created Felipe’s new identity. It’s possible he did that for Pedro, too.
Adelita realizes the sacred trust that was broken was broken by a priest. She asks to borrow the photo of the three friends and Felipe agrees. Before leaving she asks if her father was an animal and Felipe replies, “We didn’t start out that way. We just chose the wrong family.”
The Mayans meet up with Sons of Anarchy on the road and it’s hugs all around. The club’s making a deal with SoA for weapons and as the product’s exchanged EZ gets a call that he ignores. That’s followed by a text warning him something bad’s happening and to pick up the phone. Kevin calls and tells EZ he’s been pulled off the detail and EZ’s deal is over. EZ lets Kevin in on the fact Galindo was arrested at the border. “Don’t cave on me. You need to steer clear of the Mayans. They put out a BOLO,” warns Kevin.
Kevin hangs up and then stealthily follows his supervisor as he leaves the office.
Back in lock-up, a massive inmate wants Galindo’s shirt. After Galindo taunts him about being less than a cockroach, he takes off his shirt and uses it as a weapon to take down the larger man and choke him until he’s unconscious. Galindo delivers a stomp to the chest followed by spitting in the man’s face to finish up the one-sided fight.
Elsewhere, Coco takes Letty back to his mother’s place. They argue over food, her missing car, and a dead body. Coco tries to make peace by promising her another car, but she’s not satisfied. She doesn’t believe Coco cares about her and is just using her to take care of Letty.
After his mom leaves the room, Coco hands Letty some cash for food and whatever she needs. When he takes off, his mom returns, grabs the money, and suggests Letty get back on the street to earn her keep. Letty’s so upset she locks herself in the bathroom and bangs her head against the toilet, bloodying her face.
Deal done, the club gets back on the road. A cop nearby spots them and gives chase.
Out on the street, the cop calls in backups and everyone’s forced to pull over. The club’s now carrying guns and realize they need to stay cool, but EZ also knows he can’t be questioned in front of the Mayans. He rides back over to the officers parked 100 or so feet back, tells them he’s the guy they’re looking for, kicks a squad car door shut, and rides off. The cops pursue EZ as he flees, giving the club a chance to ride off.
EZ’s finally cornered and beaten, although he’s in no way resisting arrest.
Back at the border it’s been 18 hours since Galindo was arrested. Devante confirms he called the lawyers, but right now there’s nothing they can do. No one’s sure who is in charge because of the chaos at the border under the Trump administration. However, Devante doesn’t think it’s the Feds because they like to openly wield their power and haven’t taken credit for Galindo’s arrest thus far.
Elsewhere, Kevin follows his supervisor to an office complex and waits outside. Inside, the agent can’t remember the code to a locked room but the personnel inside eventually let him in anyway. Sons of Anarchy antagonist Asst U.S. Attorney Lincoln Potter (Ray McKinnon) is running the war room. They get word EZ has been picked up when Kevin decides to make his presence known. Kevin barges into the secret meeting, revealing he’s invested two years on this case and EZ just gave him info that Galindo’s being detained at Calexico East, something that comes as a shock to this group. They realize Galindo has in fact been off the grid for 26 hours. Potter orders teams sent out to find Galindo. He also tells Kevin his deal’s still in play and that they’ll drop the BOLO on EZ.
Galindo is pulled from the cage in the public lockup area and taken to an out-of-the-way room. He’s in handcuffs and not told what’s happening. Adelita steps out of the shadows and asks the border patrol officers to remove the handcuffs. The officers leave her alone with Galindo, and she confirms his son and family are safe.
Adelita reveals the Galindo cartel slaughtered her family but this is much more than just revenge she’s seeking. She wants his cooperation and makes a phone call while opening up her laptop with a live feed of his poppy fields, his distribution hubs, and his refinery. She gives the order and the fields go up in flames along with the refinery and distribution centers. He doesn’t seem to care and doesn’t believe it will impact his business. She then places live feeds of every single one of his facilities on the screen, telling him she’ll take them all out which will open up spots for smaller drug dealers to move in. Plus, he’ll be busy in the US courts and won’t be able to rebuild.
Miguel realizes the kidnapping was just to set up this play. Adelita shocks him by revealing she wants the rebels and his cartel to work together. Taking him out won’t stop the violence, and every level of government is infected including social services and health care. She’s willing to let the devil secure their future and evil feed the children. The rebels are 2,000 strong and she’ll put them to use to make sure no one takes down the Galindo cartel. In return, she wants Galindo to give money to the rebels to use to help the poor.
Miguel wonders how they’ll ever trust each other. She suggests they tell the truth and reveals her real name. She also suggests they use a third party to keep them honest, for now.
At the clubhouse, the club thinks EZ acted to keep the rest of the Mayans out of trouble. He wasn’t carrying any weapons, so he led the cops off on a wild goose chase to distract them from the rest of the club. He might be charged with reckless driving or speeding, and Bishop tells Angel his little bro has balls.
Just then EZ shows up and he’s summoned to the meeting room. He’s been beaten and is icing his arm. EZ explains he let them catch him once he knew the club was out of range. They didn’t charge him with anything because it would have been a lot of paperwork for just misdemeanors. They beat him and let him go.
Bishop calls EZ a smart kid, however, he’s angry that the prospect went rogue. It could have led to one of the Mayans getting killed by angry cops. EZ apologizes and Bishop warns him once more and he’s out. Being tossed from the club will come with a severe beating that will make what the cops did feel like a day at the spa.
As EZ walks out of the clubhouse, Chucky drives up with Letty. She looks horrible and claims her grandmother almost killed her. Coco sees his daughter and heads out, telling EZ to clean Letty up.
Coco breaks down his mother’s door while she’s relaxing in the bathtub. She’s able to get up and grab a knife but believes she’s safe when she sees it’s Coco. Coco punches her in the face, knocking her back into the tub. She threatens to call the cops and end him, but Coco finishes her off by holding her head underwater as she struggles for breath.
Meanwhile at the border, Miguel’s handed his son. The border patrol agents set him free and as he walks down the hall, Adelita tells him she’ll be in touch.
The Galindo family’s at home when Miguel arrives with the baby. A happy family reunion ensues.
Things aren’t so rosy for Riz who’s caught by the club using the tunnel outside Vicky’s place to smuggle in two Hispanic females and a baby.
That night, EZ goes to his dad’s. Felipe’s not there but the box with the photos and Felipe’s real history is sitting on the table. EZ appears stunned while he looks through the box’s contents.
Back at the Galindo home, the reunion continues until all the lights suddenly go out in the house. They believe it’s just a brown-out and Paco goes outside to check the electric panel.
Paco’s confronted outside while inside candles are lit. Noises are heard outside and everyone heads off in different directions, leaving Emily alone holding the baby in the living room. She finally follows the path Miguel took and reaches the front door. Outside, Asst U.S. Attorney Lincoln Potter and the DEA have already placed Miguel and his men in custody.
While nearly everything about The CW’s Riverdale is dark, gritty, and dangerous, apparently being locked up in Juvenile Detention Center is none of those things. The new nearly two minute music video released in support of the October 17, 2018 episode features Veronica (Camila Mendes), Josie, and Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) along with the rest of the River Vixens performing Elvis Presley’s “Jailhouse Rock” to entertain Archie and the other inmates.
According to The CW, the “choreographed routine takes place during a clean, fair football game designed by Archie to bring together the Ghoulies and the Serpents. Both Warden Norton and Veronica’s father, Hiram Lodge, are less than pleased by Veronica’s attempt to bolster Archie’s spirits, leaving her to find a new way to visit Archie at the Juvenile Detention Center.”
The video has a real Cry-Baby-ish vibe. For those not up on their John Waters films (or too young to get the reference), 1990’s Cry-Baby starred Johnny Depp as a jailbird and Amy Locane as his gorgeous girlfriend from the better side of the tracks. The 1990 release featured a lot of singing and dancing by those incarcerated and those outside the jail’s walls.
The October 17, 2018 episode (season three episode 2) with the “Jailhouse Rock” number is titled “Chapter Thirty-Seven: Fortune and Men’s Eyes.” The episode was directed by Jeff Woolnough from a script by Michael Grassi.
The cast of Riverdale season three includes KJ Apa as Archie Andrews, Lili Reinhart as Betty Cooper, Camila Mendes as Veronica Lodge, and Cole Sprouse as Jughead Jones. Madelaine Petsch is Cheryl Blossom, Marisol Nichols is Hermione Lodge, Mӓdchen Amick is Alice Cooper, and Luke Perry is Fred Andrews. The third season also stars Ashleigh Murray as Josie McCoy, Casey Cott as Kevin Keller, Mark Consuelos as Hiram Lodge, Skeet Ulrich as FP Jones, Charles Melton as Reggie Mantle, and Vanessa Morgan as Toni Topaz.
Riverdale is based on the Archie Comics and was created by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. Aguirre-Sacasa, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Jon Goldwater are the executive producers.

“There was a stowaway on Flight 828,” says NSA Director Vance (Daryl Edwards) as he’s investigating the 20 passengers and crew who were present when the plane exploded. Those particular passengers have been labeled persons of interest by NSA in the first season’s fourth episode of NBC’s Manifest.
Season one episode four begins with a flashback to the plane still in the air and the cheerful flight attendant, Bethany (Mugga), checking with the pilot about being diverted to another airport for landing. She then heads to the rear of the plane and starts going through a bag while checking to see if anyone is watching her.
Back to present day and Dr. Saanvi Bahl (Parveen Kaur) is working at the hospital when she has a vision of a gray woman made of stone walking through the hospital leaving wet footprints.
Over at the Stones’ house, Ben (Josh Dallas) is spending more time with Grace (Athena Karkanis). He offers to take Olive (Luna Blaise) on a driving lesson since her grandfather is spending the day with Cal. Olive turns him down, but Grace is supportive of his efforts. She tells him to hang in there with Olive.
At the police station, Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) is teamed up with her ex-fiancé, Jared Vasquez (J.R. Ramirez), to assist the ATF on an undercover bust.
Back at the hospital, Saanvi shows her brain scans to the head of neurology, claiming they’re a patient of hers. He reveals the scans are similar to the scans of a patient down the hall who has advanced schizophrenia. When she walks down the hall to check on the patient, she finds him trying to run away while yelling for Bethany.
Saanvi reaches out to Ben and tells him what she’s found, and he reveals that he created a database of most of the people on board Flight 828. So, she should be able to track down Bethany. As they’re talking, Ben gets a call from Grace telling him to come home.
Michaela is on the stakeout with Jared and they start to reminisce about her favorite Italian restaurant. She gets uncomfortable and asks him to get her a coffee. When Jared gets a text on his phone, Michaela looks to see who it’s from.
Ben arrives home to find Grace upset. It seems she got a letter from the insurance company and they want what she collected on Ben’s life insurance back…half a million dollars! Ben asks how much of it is left and she tells him it’s all gone because she used the money to pay off the house and start up her business. Ben tells her not to worry, assuring her he’ll figure it out.
Back at the stakeout, Michaela starts to fight with Jared over his text about family planning. She’s interrupted when she sees a gray woman and hears a voice saying, “Save him.” Thinking it’s the undercover cop that’s in need of saving, Michaela tells Jared they need to go in now and not wait for the signal. Jared hesitates but agrees to do it and they rush in ahead of the ATF to discover they just blew the operation. The ATF wants to know who gave the call to go in and Jared takes the blame.

Saanvi tracks down Bethany about the crazy guy in the hospital and learns his name is Thomas and he was a stowaway on the flight. He’s the boyfriend of Bethany’s cousin and was in serious danger in Jamaica because he’s gay. Her cousin was able to get out but Thomas (Sheldon Best) couldn’t obtain a passport. When the plane landed he was hiding in the cargo hold and ran away without being noticed. Now he’s incredibly confused and doesn’t understand why it’s five and a half years later. He also doesn’t know that his boyfriend died a few years ago.
While trying to figure out how to pay back the half a million, Ben comes across photos of Grace and her lover, Danny. Grace comes in and Ben quickly puts away the photos, telling her he thinks he’s figured out a reasonable payment plan which should work. Grace, amazed and relieved by Ben’s plan, starts passionately kissing him. Of course, that’s when Olive calls asking for her to come to the store. Ben volunteers to go.
While driving, Ben gets a call from Michaela who tells him what happened at the stakeout and how Jared covered for her and is now in a jam at work. She wants to tell Jared what’s going on, but Ben reminds her if she does, Jared will have to lie to the NSA and anyone else who’s watching them. He also tells her to go see Saanvi because she had a similar vision.
Ben enters the store to retrieve Olive and finds she already called Danny, who the store manager says was introduced as Olive’s dad, to come and get her. Ben thanks Danny and tells him he has it from here.
On the drive home, Ben remembers back to when Olive was 10 and he turned her broken glider into a boat, cheering her up. When they get home Ben asks Olive if she’s ever shoplifted before. She hasn’t and swears she won’t do it again. Ben confesses that when he was 15 he shoplifted, too. She asks why and he says to feel as though he was in control. Ben tells Olive her grandmother gave him a pass saying everyone deserves at least one. Olive starts crying, admitting she doesn’t deserve a pass. She also tells her father she isn’t the sweet little girl he remembers.
Ben hugs Olive and tells her no matter what she does he’ll always be there for her and she can count on him. Olive apologizes for calling Danny, explaining he’s familiar with all her nonsense. Olive asks if they can keep this just between them and not tell Grace because she has put her through enough. Ben reluctantly agrees.
Saanvi and Bethany go to see Thomas and discover he’s escaped and the hospital is going into lockdown. They run outside, fortunately just as Michaela drives up. Spotting NSA Director Vance arriving at the hospital, Saanvi and Bethany hop in Michaela’s car and head out to search for Thomas.
Saanvi believes Vance will use Thomas as a guinea pig since he doesn’t have any family and isn’t up to speed about their situation of losing five and a half years. Bethany realizes that Saanvi and Michaela’s shared vision is of the gray woman is actually the Angel of the Waters statue which was featured prominently in Bethany’s cousin’s favorite play, “Angels in America.” They drive to the statue and find Thomas. He’s scared, but they quickly bring him up to speed on the plane’s bizarre time jump. They convince him to let them hide him so Vance won’t find him.
Michaela takes Thomas and Bethany to the boiler room of the abandoned mini-mall Kelly used to own to keep him safe.
Grace arrives home and she’s obviously upset about Olive. Ben tells her she’s upstairs in her room and she yells at him for not telling her about the shoplifting. He asks how she knows and then guesses Danny called her. Ben’s angry she and Olive both seem to be having a problem letting Danny go. But then he stops and admits he might not have the right to ask her to do that anymore. He backs away, saying he’s going out for air and leaving a surprised and upset Grace.
Ben calls Michaela and tells him what happened with Thomas. Ben isn’t sure listening to the voices and doing what they say is a good thing, but Michaela tells him she believes they don’t really have a choice.
The last scene finds Michaela going back to the angel statue. She looks up at it and asks, “What do you want from me?”
Manifest Season 1 Episode 4 Review:
Answering less questions than it adds, episode four titled “Unclaimed Baggage” furthers the mystery around what’s happening to those special 20 passengers and crew from Flight 828. The episode suggests they may be forced to give up their own plans for happiness for the salvation of others.
Once again it’s Melissa Roxburgh who steals the show with her portrayal of Michaela, a passenger who’s more inclined to do what the voices tell her to do even before she really knows what or who the voices are referring to. The last scene where she asks the statue what it – or whatever is talking to them – wants from her is powerful. Roxburgh perfectly displays Michaela’s search for knowledge while seeming to be truly lost.
Josh Dallas delivers another strong performance as Ben, a husband and father who’s starting to realize his wife loves the memory of him and the life they had but is still in love with her former lover.
With the voices seeming to be here to stay and Michaela ready to do their bidding, life for the passengers of Flight 828 is sure to get even more complicated.
Titus Makin, Melissa O’Neil and Nathan Fillion in ‘The Rookie’ (ABC/Tony Rivetti)
Nathan Fillion is back on TV. Well, after Castle ended, he kept busy doing guest spots on American Housewife, Santa Clarita Diet, and The Big Bang Theory, but now he’s back on his own show. Nathan Fillion IS The Rookie.
John Nolan decides at age 40 to become a police officer. At 40, he’s the oldest rookie on the LAPD. Fillion spoke with reporters after ABC’s panel for the Television Critics Association. The Rookie premieres on October 16, 2018 at 10pm ET/PT on ABC.
Nathan Fillion: “That presented some challenges. Being a disembodied head, you’re not allowed to move at all. Apparently, moving my head while I’m acting is my crutch. Something I rely heavily on. It’s hard to hold still.”
Did you think about doing a half-hour comedy after Castle?
Nathan Fillion: “I’ve thought about a lot of things but it’s not about I’m ready to do a half hour comedy, I’ll pick up the phone and start doing one. That’s not really how it works. As you know, jobs come and opportunities come when they come. I recognize an excellent opportunity when it comes my way, and this was one I just couldn’t say no to.”
When did you realize Nathan Fillion was a personality you could play in other guest spots?
Nathan Fillion: “You know what’s interesting was when we started Castle, we were a one-hour drama. When Castle began to air, it was apparent that we were a comedy. There wasn’t a dramedy category when we started. Castle and shows like it now are their own genre. They’re not Castle-esque programs. It was a fantastic engine that managed to keep the show running for eight years. That’s hard.”
As a producer on The Rookie, do you have notes about your character’s potential romantic relationships?
Nathan Fillion: “You know what? I think one of my strengths as a producer is knowing when to keep my hands out of the pie. I leave that to story guys. Alexi (Hawley) is a fantastic storyteller. I like to think of myself as pepper. He makes the meal. I come in with some pepper. I’m not changing the menu, just a little pepper. That’s all.”
Having spent 25 years in the business, could you relate to this guy who wanted a fresh start later in life?
Nathan Fillion: “Good question. I am so fortunate that the job I’ve chosen to do, I am still managing to be relevant and uniquely important. I have not yet had to have that resurgence. I haven’t had to do the flip yet. I’m still riding a fantastic wave. Fingers crossed, I hope for the best and plan for the worst.”
How are you going to celebrate 25 years in the business?
Nathan Fillion: “Probably a hot bath and a glass of wine.”
Did The Big Bang Theory come to you?
Nathan Fillion: “I had run into those guys. The ones who write that show are like-minded nerds like myself so they have an affinity for the nerd culture and nerd things. Of course, I’ve had my finger in that pie sometimes. So, when they make Firefly references, Firefly jokes, Nathan Fillion vs. Ryan Reynolds for Green Lantern, they’re just touching on stuff that we all talk about in nerd culture. I ran into those guys at a party. They said, ‘We’d love to have you on this show.’ I said I would love to be on it.”
Does that happen often for you when people don’t believe you’re Nathan Fillion?
Nathan Fillion: “That has happened to me. People often say to me, ‘You sound like Nathan Fillion but you don’t look like Nathan Fillion.’ People often are shocked that I’m tall. People ask me if anybody ever told me I look like Nathan Fillion. Then again, I’m also often mistaken for Jason Bateman.”
How was the One Life to Live reunion?
Nathan Fillion: “Fantastic. Again, that show, those people, I mean, if you’re going to learn the ropes, learn them from the best. And I was there working with people who have been in the business for 15, 25, 35 years. You can’t argue that kind of experience. They’ve done it all, they’ve seen it all or they heard about it. So, I’ll never speak poorly about daytime drama. I had a fantastic experience with those people. Not just on the show but personally. They took care of me. I nurtured relationships there that I maintain to this day. There is no one on that show I wouldn’t give a giant hug to if I saw them. A lot of them I’m still in touch with.”
The cast of ABC’s ‘The Kids are Alright’ (ABC/Richard Cartwright)
Well, The Walking Dead never lasts forever, not even for Andrew Lincoln. So, Abraham Ford’s days came to an end, but now Michael Cudlitz is back on the family comedy, The Kids Are Alright, playing the father.
Based on creator Tim Doyle’s childhood, The Kids Are Alright is set in the ‘70s with the Cleary family. Cudlitz plays Mike Cleary who has eight kids with his wife, Peggy (Mary McCormack). Cudlitz spoke with reporters after a Television Critics Panel about the show. The Kids Are All Right premieres on October 16, 2018 at 8:30pm ET/PT on ABC.
You’ve played a lot of very intense characters. Have you gotten to play many dads?
Michael Cudlitz: “Not really, not yet. I’m sort of coming into that age. I think a lot of that has to do with getting to that age. It’s part and parcel of maturing as an actor and moving forward in your career.”
What does Mike Cleary do for a living?
Michael Cudlitz: “He works in the Jet Propulsion, the equivalent of a JPL. He grew up in Glendale. That is actually something different. I don’t think his dad was in the aerospace industry, and he’s a machinist.”
Will we see scenes of you fixing the plumbing like Tim’s dad?
Michael Cudlitz: “Probably. Probably, he’s very, very handy and expects that from his kids.”
Do you have any nostalgia for your own childhood?
Michael Cudlitz: “Yeah, I mean, I grew up in New Jersey in the ‘70s. I was born in ’64 so ‘60s, early ‘70s. For me, it was wonderful. No lack of, I wouldn’t call it parental supervision. I always knew my parents were there. I always knew they loved me but physically they weren’t always there. You grow up differently. I see it in my kids. There’s pros and cons to each. I think my kids actually are able to hold onto their childhood a little bit longer because they weren’t forced to grow up and, in a way, when you don’t have that parental supervision, you’re forced to grow up, forced to deal with things in a way that you wouldn’t necessarily have to had they been there.”
Would you go out on your back and not come back until late?
Michael Cudlitz: “Absolutely. It was like, ‘Hey, I’m going out ‘til whatever.’ And you’d take off, I’ll see you tonight. No real question. ‘I’m going to the beach.’ We lived a bike ride or a moped ride 20 minutes away from the beach.”
No cell phones.
Michael Cudlitz: “No, no cell phones, no helmets, no bike lanes, no airbags, no safety. Seat belts but you didn’t really use them. Steel dashboards, riding in the back of a pickup truck with your buddies. All these things are stuff that we all did. I’m not saying that all those things, we’re not glad that they’re around now because we are. It just made me grow up differently. We all do. We all feel that difference. We didn’t have helicopter parents, for better or for worse. It was just a different time.”
Having lived through that era, what is it like to recreate it on a daily basis?
Michael Cudlitz: “Awesome. We’ve been having a great time. Shooting the pilot was fantastic, a lot of fun. These kids are great. Mary’s hilarious. Tim’s writing really, really fun stories that have a lot of heart to them, so it’s been fantastic to come to work.”
How is the schedule compared to The Walking Dead location schedules?
Michael Cudlitz: “It’s not more abbreviated. It’s a single camera half hour and we have eight kids, so even if it’s a lighter day, that day is still just as long because the needs of the kids having to go to school and all that. It’s an abbreviated schedule in the sense that we shoot five days a week as opposed to eight for a typical one out, 8-12 depending what you’re shooting. We’ll shoot an episode a week.”
Is it more physically comfortable than Walking Dead?
Michael Cudlitz: “It’s more physically comfortable because it’s three minutes from my house. I keep calling it The Unicorn. It’s a half hour comedy in town shooting five minutes from my house.”
How soon did you know The Walking Dead was going to end for you?
Michael Cudlitz: “I got about six months prior. When I came on the show, look, I’ve gone from show to show to show. That’s what we do. That’s not the first show I died on. We knew five or six months before. We didn’t know if it was going to be at the end of six or the beginning of seven. They were deciding whether they could keep that secret, and then we found out just before that it was going to be at the beginning of seven. It would’ve been fine either way for me.”
Did you watch your final scene?
Michael Cudlitz: “I watched it once. It’s pretty brutal. It’s a pretty emotionally and visually brutal scene.”
What would you most like people to know about The Kids Are Alright?
Michael Cudlitz: “It’s funny as hell and it’s got a lot of heart.”

The CW’s Riverdale returned on October 10, 2018 to kick off what promises to be another wild and twisted season. During our interview at the New York Comic Con, series creator/executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa shared insights into this third season of the popular series, including details on the season’s flashback episode featuring the parents as high schoolers.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa also discussed balancing multiple storylines, potential breakout characters, and casting Gina Gershon to play Jughead’s mom.
Riverdale season three airs on Wednesdays at 8pm ET/PT.
What are the challenges of being able to get weird and strange with Riverdale without alienating viewers?
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “That’s kind of one of the big challenges of the show is now we’re entering our third season. We did a murder mystery season one, we did a serial killer season two, we did a Godfather-like story in season two. You don’t want to repeat yourself, but the show kind of needs a strong genre – crime or pulp or noir elements. It’s always figuring out what is that element and how is it different from earlier iterations.
As to how do we know when we’ve gone too far and it’s just too weird and gonzo, you know we just trust our guts a little bit on that. We’re always pushing forward and when there’s the safe choice or the risky choice, we almost always go for the risky choice. I think people really respond to that. It’s also kind of like once you start down that path, it’s hard to go back and just tell stories about Archie wanting to write a song.”
Who’s going to be the breakout character in season three?
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “That is a really good question. I think the Gargoyle King is going to be something that I hope people talk about. But in terms of characters, they’re all doing really good stuff. I people are really excited for Jughead’s family to come to town. I think they’ve got really good stuff.
Who was the breakout character last year? Toni?”
Maybe.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “Yeah, Toni, in terms of new characters. I think Toni and Cheryl, people are excited to see more of those two – and we will. Everyone’s got good stuff, I think.”
Living in this MeToo environment, will we learn more about the Hermione and Hiram relationship? There have been hints but it’s never been fleshed out the kind of abusive relationship they have.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “Yeah, we’re definitely going to explore more about the Hiram / Hermione relationship. The question of is Hermione Hiram’s puppet and is she trapped in a marriage to a potentially violent guy. We’re definitely going to explore that. Or, is it something that we don’t even know yet or quite understand? It could be that, too.”
How would you describe the storylines you’ll be exploring this season?
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “One thing that we’re doing is we’re launching two or three pretty big storylines in the first eight or 10 episodes. One is the Farm that Polly and Jason were going to go to comes to Riverdale, so we explore what the Farm is like. That’s a mysterious cult-like organization. Then there’s a pretty gruesome ritualistic death of two Riverdale High students that is a mystery we’re going to be exploring as well.”
You’ve said the actors are allowed to give you input into their characters. Can you cite anything in particular that they’ve contributed?
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “Yes, I can give you one very specific example. Madelaine (Petsch) told me that she wanted to do archery. So, the reason Cheryl got into archery is because she said she would like to do it. And she thought that I had forgotten about that but when the Black Hood went after her, she got her old bow out. So, that came directly from her.”
Can you tell us anything about a potential new musical episode this season?
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “I love musicals. My background is in theater and I think everyone loved that musical. I did too. We want to do one but I’m not going to lie, that was the perfect musical at the perfect point in the season. It linked up with the stories.
To me, it has to be the right show at the right time with the right characters or else it will just be a less-than version, in which case we won’t do it. But I’m hopeful. I love musicals.”
Are we looking at a full-fledged gang war this season?
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “When you pitch a show…I never thought that Riverdale was going to be a crime show or a gang show or a drug show or anything like that. It is all those things now. We are definitely going to see more stuff with the different gangs in Riverdale. Absolutely.”
And we’re also going to see the younger versions of the parents?
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “We do in a flashback episode. Episode four, really early on. It turned out really, really well. I think fans will be really excited for it.
We see the grownups when they were in high school. What’s interesting is we see them as they were, how and why they became friends, and then how and why they became the grownups we know today. It’s not like we see Alice as the preppie buttoned-down sweater-wearing. We see Alice as a Serpent. We don’t see FP as a Serpent. We see FP as the big man on campus who was hiding his Serpent past. I’m really excited for that episode. I think it’s special.”
With such a terrific ensemble, how do you make sure you weave each character into the story? Is there someone you’re hoping to work more into the storyline this season?
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “Yeah, it’s always the supporting actors. I think all of the cast on this show could be leads and could have their own show. We have a huge cast and it’s finding time and real estate to tell deep stories for all of them. I think we’re getting a little but that’s one of the core challenges of this show, I think.”
Are we going to get to go to Greendale at all?
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “That’s a very good question. Let me think… Through episode 10 not yet.”
Not yet? So, there is the potential?
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “Always.”
Are there any unusual or weird pairings that we might not expect for season three?
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “I think one of the weirder pairings is Veronica and Jughead. They haven’t really done much but we have a couple of strange team-ups between the two of them.”
Is Veronica now the only character who’s not a Serpent of the four? Does that change?
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “Yeah. Membership of the Serpents is going to go through…there are going to be some changes to the Serpent membership over the first 10 episodes.”
How difficult was it to find the right people to play Jughead’s family?
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa: “Very difficult. That’s why we kept putting it off. We were going to introduce them in the first episode and then we couldn’t find them. It’s like, ‘Okay, we’ll save them for the more middle section.’ You know when you’ve got Mark Consuelos and Madchen Amick and Luke Perry and Skeet Ulrich, it has to be somebody who can hold their own against all of them and hopefully tell part of the strange Riverdale story. Enter Gina Gershon who is that.
I love that she was in one of my favorite noir movies, Bound, and she was in Killer Joe which is another kind of neo-noir. Of course, Showgirls and stuff. But really for her crime movies she feels like she’s telling that story, which is really nice.”
