‘Magnum P.I.’ Season 4 Episode 3 Promo, Photos, Plot and Cast

The Office‘s Kate Flannery puts in a guest starring appearance on CBS’s Magnum P.I. season four episode three. Directed by Antonio Negret from a script by Gene Hong, episode three, “Texas Wedge,” will air on Friday, October 15, 2021 at 9pm ET/PT.

Jay Hernandez returns to lead the cast as Thomas Magnum. Season four also stars Perdita Weeks as Juliet Higgins, Zachary Knighton as Orville “Rick” Wright, Stephen Hill as Theodore “TC” Calvin, Tim Kang as Det. Gordon Katsumoto, and Amy Hill as Kumu.

Bobby Lee reprises his role as Jin in episode three.

“Texas Wedge” Plot: Magnum, Higgins and Rick go undercover at a ritzy country club when a young caddie is fired after being accused of stealing a member’s golf clubs. Also, Jin’s (ee) niece (Kaylee Hottle), unaware of her uncle’s shady past, asks him to speak at her school.

Magnum P.I. Description, Courtesy of CBS:

Magnum P.I. is a modern take on the classic series centering on Thomas Magnum, a decorated former Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. A charming rogue, an American hero and a die-hard Detroit Tigers fan, Magnum lives in a guest cottage on Robin’s Nest, the luxurious estate where he works as a security consultant to supplement his P.I. business.

The “majordomo” of the property is Juliet Higgins, a beautiful and commanding disavowed MI:6 agent whose second job is to keep Magnum in line, with the help of her two Dobermans. When Magnum needs back-up on a job, he turns to his trusted buddies and fellow POW survivors, Theodore “TC” Calvin, a former Marine chopper pilot who runs Island Hoppers, a helicopter tour business, and Orville “Rick” Wright, a former Marine door-gunner-turned-impresario of Oahu’s coolest nightclub and the most connected man on the island.

Suspicious of Magnum’s casual attitude and presence at his crime scenes, Detective Gordon Katsumoto finds that he and Magnum are more alike than either of them care to admit. One of Magnum’s biggest supporters is Teuila “Kumu” Tuileta, the unofficial “House Mom” and cultural curator of Robin’s Nest. With keys to a vintage Ferrari in one hand, aviator sunglasses in the other, and an Old Düsseldorf longneck chilling in the fridge, Thomas Magnum is back on the case!

Treat Williams reprises his guest starring role as Lenny Ross in CBS’s Blue Bloods season 12 episode three. Directed by Jackeline Tejada from a script by Kevin Riley and Yasmine Cadet, episode three – “Protective Instincts” – will air on Friday, October 15, 2021 at 10pm ET/PT.

Tom Selleck leads the cast as Frank Reagan, with Donnie Wahlberg back as Danny Reagan and Bridget Moynahan returning as Erin Reagan. Will Estes plays Jamie Reagan, Len Cariou is Henry Reagan, Sami Gayle is Nicky Reagan-Boyle, Marisa Ramirez is Det. Maria Baez, and Vanessa Ray plays Officer Eddie Janko.

Recurring season 12 cast members include Abigail Hawk, Gregory Jbara, Robert Clohessy, Steven Schirripa, Andrew Terraciano, and Lauren Patten.

“Protective Instincts” Plot: Frank must decide between remaining police commissioner and pursuing a new professional chapter when his old friend Lenny Ross (Treat Williams) presents him with an exciting job offer. Also, Sean puts Jamie and Eddie in a tough position when he tries his hand at the family business behind his father Danny’s back, and Danny and Baez investigate the murder of a restaurant delivery man.

Series Description, Courtesy of CBS:

Blue Bloods is a drama about a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. Frank Reagan is the New York Police Commissioner, and heads both the police force and the Reagan brood. He runs his department as diplomatically as he runs his family, even when dealing with the politics that plagued his unapologetically bold father, Henry, during his stint as Chief. A source of pride and concern for Frank is his eldest son, Danny, a seasoned detective, family man and Iraq War vet who on occasion uses dubious tactics to solve cases with his partner, Detective Maria Baez. Erin, the middle daughter, is a New York Assistant D.A. who serves as the legal compass for her siblings and father.

Jamie is the youngest Reagan, a Harvard Law graduate and the family’s “golden boy.” Unable to deny the family tradition, Jamie decided to give up a lucrative future in law and follow in the family footsteps as a cop. He’s found a friend and ally in his wife, Eddie, who keeps him on his toes, and has very different reasons than the Reagans for joining the police force.

Inspired by the television series and the feature film, S.W.A.T. stars Shemar Moore as a former Marine and locally born and raised S.W.A.T. sergeant, tasked to run a specialized tactical unit that is the last stop in law enforcement in Los Angeles.

The recurring cast includes Matt Dellapina as Erik Rentzel and Ollie Robinson as Mauricio Rentzel.

“Espionage” Plot: TAC’s defense strategy for a client on trial for going public with classified governments under the Espionage Act is compromised when Bull experiences emotional turmoil following his daughter’s kidnapping. As Bull grows increasingly agitated, the team faces a difficult time in court when federal law leaves them unable to tell jurors their client’s motive for leaking the sensitive information.

The Bull Plot, Courtesy of CBS:

Bull stars Michael Weatherly as Dr. Jason Bull in a drama inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw, the founder of one of the most prolific trial-consulting firms of all time. Brilliant, brash and charming, Dr. Bull is the ultimate puppet master as he combines psychology, human intuition and high-tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick.

While Bull has mastered his professional domain, his personal life continues to evolve in surprising ways. Now the father of a young daughter, Bull is newly remarried to his ex-wife, Isabella “Izzy” Colón. Bull’s enviable group of experts at Trial Analysis Corporation shape successful narratives down to the last detail. His team includes Marissa Morgan, a neurolinguistics expert from the Department of Homeland Security who monitors shifting jury reactions in real-time for Bull; former NYPD detective Danny James, the firm’s tough but relatable investigator; Taylor Rentzel, a working mother and former colleague of Marissa’s who is an expert at coding and computer hacking; and Chunk Palmer, a former all-American lineman and stylist-turned-lawyer, who helps clients prepare their image and testimony and serves as TAC’s official trial attorney.

In high-stakes trials, Bull’s combination of remarkable insight into human nature, three Ph.D.’s and a top-notch staff creates winning strategies that tip the scales of justice in his clients’ favor.

‘The Resident’ Season 5 Episode 4 Promo, Photos, and Plot

Fox’s The Resident season five episode four will find Conrad and the hospital staff devastated over Nic’s sudden and tragic death. Episode four – “Now What?” – is set to air on Tuesday, October 12, 2021 at 8pm ET/PT.

Returning cast members include Matt Czuchry as Dr. Conrad Hawkins, Malcolm-Jamal Warner as Dr. AJ Austin, Bruce Greenwood as Dr. Randolph Bell, Jane Leeves as Dr. Kit Voss, and Manish Dayal is Dr. Devon Pravesh. Jessica Lucas plays Dr. Billie Sutton, Anuja Joshi is Dr. Leela Devi, and Miles Fowler is Trevor.

“Now What?” Plot: In trying to find a way to channel his emotions, Conrad puts all his effort in looking for answers. Raptor has a run-in with the police that ends up taking a surprising turn. Meanwhile, Leela begins noticing problems with a surgeon who has been Bell’s mentor.

The Season 5 Plot, Courtesy of Fox:

Entering its fifth season, The Resident continues to shine a light on the daily heroism of our health care workers. The provocative medical drama follows the doctors and nurses at Chastain Memorial Hospital as they face personal and professional challenges and fight for their patients’ health.

Season four saw a multitude of highs and lows as the heroes at Chastain struggled to overcome the impossible, including the unprecedented and devastating Covid-19 pandemic. Now, in a propulsive and emotional season five, the ante is upped, as the doctors continue to save patients and fight corruption in the healthcare system, this time with a partner. The alliance with Big Pharma that found a cure for sickle cell disease last season proves in season five to be a very sharp double-edged sword.

The season kicks off when a mysterious ransomware attack threatens the hospital, and DR. DEVON PRAVESH (Dayal) and Chastain’s recently appointed CEO, DR. KIT VOSS (Leeves), must make high-stakes, split-second decisions with lives in the balance. Meanwhile, DR. CONRAD HAWKINS (Czuchry) and NURSE PRACTITIONER NICOLETTE NEVIN’s (Emily VanCamp) attempts to navigate parenthood, marriage and work-life balance take a shocking turn when Conrad is forced to make a life-changing choice that will alter the course of their family forever.

After the unwanted arrival of DR. BILLIE SUTTON’s (Lucas) biological son, she is forced to confront her past head-on in hopes of healing. Luckily, she’ll have help with the emergence of a new friendship – and rivalry – with DR. AJ AUSTIN (Malcolm-Jamal Warner), who unknowingly takes an interest in Billie’s son, TREVOR (Fowler). Elsewhere, a wrench is thrown in the plans of DR. LEELA DEVI (Joshi), when an unannounced visitor threatens her new relationship, and DR. RANDOLPH BELL (Greenwood) moves forward with a surprising love interest.

A new wrinkle five episodes into the season will challenge audience expectations and reveal new truths about our characters. Old relationships will be tested, new ones formed, and the emergence of a widespread Medicare fraud scheme ensures Chastain will never be the same.

‘Outlander’ Season 6 NYCC Panel Recap and Teaser Trailer

Starz’s Outlander 2021 New York Comic Con panel included Caitriona Balfe, Lauren Lyle, César Domboy, and John Bell appearing virtually while Sam Heughan, executive producer Maril Davis, and Outlander author Diana Gabaldon appeared in-person to discuss season six. The Outlander stars kept it spoiler-free while talking about the much-anticipated sixth season of the series and showed off the first official season six teaser trailer.

During the hour-long NYCC panel, Diana Gabaldon revealed she’s really excited for the fans to meet the Christie family this season. Sam Heughan responded to that declaration with a “boo” and a chuckle.

“Without giving away too much, we have this family – the Christies – that arrive at the Ridge. They initially are integrated into the new community but very soon we start to see a lot of the history that’s been between Tom and Jamie really get under the skin of everyone and it starts to sort of disintegrate or decay what Claire and Jamie have built on Fraser’s Ridge,” said Jamie, explaining the Christies impact on season six. “They’re fantastic. I mean, Mark Lewis Jones is just incredible. Alex (Vlahos)…Jessica (Reynolds)…they’re such a weird little family on and off screen. So you’re going to love them, you’re going to hate them.”

Caitriona Balfe also had high praise for new Outlander cast member Mark Lewis Jones. “Oh my god, he’s great. I mean he’s such a fantastic actor, but I think he had Sam and I in stitches most. There might be a little operation that Claire has to do on Tom and Mark was just so funny. Sam kept breaking every time we were doing it,” said Balfe.

Asked what season six has in store for Bree and Roger, Maril Davis replied, “I think they both have settled in. I mean, as much as one can settle in in Outlander. Obviously, we know crazy things will happen. But I think they have realized this is their home now and they’re going to make their best effort to fit in there.

I think this season is all about, for each of them, figuring out their place on the Ridge. Roger, obviously, has so many skills that he brought with him that aren’t necessarily transferable to this life so he’s still struggling with that. The same with Bree. She’s got an engineering background and it’s like how can she make that work in this time and give herself a purpose. She’s a mother and that is a purpose but she also wants something a little more for herself.”

César Domboy joked that season six will find Fergus really enjoying sampling his own product. “You can see him actually struggling and deciding to drink his way out of sadness, I could say,” explained Domboy.

Lauren Lyle’s character, Marsali, has emerged as a fan favorite and Lyle revealed she’s learned lots of people have named their cats Marsali. “I get regular messages of kittens called Marsali. That’s always great, obviously,” said Lyle, smiling. “Normally people just love that she’s a bit outspoken and says what thinks, and has no filter. I feel Outlander fans often are the same, so we all relate to that same trait.”

Lyle also dropped a few hints as to what’s in store in season six. “You kind of catch Marsali in probably…I would say Marsali and Fergus are in the darkest place they’ve been in,” said Lyle. “Me and Ces always think we’re like the cool, fun couple that like never fight. And maybe there’s one or two fights this season, and Marsali’s slightly more run off her feet.”

Lyle explained raising the kids and taking on more responsibilities will keep Marsali busy in season six.

Outlander Season 6

As for Young Ian, John Bell said we’ll be catching up with him after he’s been through a highly emotional time. “He’s been through the wringer, bless him, but now he’s a little bit more mature, a bit more grown. I think you’re going to see that side of him because he’s not afraid now to really stand up for what he believes in, having had all these amazing life experiences beforehand,” revealed Bell.

Sam Heughan spoke about how the men of the Ridge will act around Jamie in season six, given the amount of men he killed at the end of season five. “I think Jamie and Claire have spent a lot of time building this community and I think this is the season where we see that really disintegrate. Jamie, he went to save Claire but I think obviously she hasn’t gotten over that trauma. I think Jamie’s very aware of it; he’s keeping an eye on her. I think these cracks are really starting to show, not only for Jamie and Claire but for the rest of the inhabitants of Fraser’s Ridge.

The war is coming…it always seems to be coming…but it is coming and we’re very aware. Jamie’s really having to tread a fine line between his loyalties. He knows he’s on the wrong side, the British, and at some point he’s going to have to switch sides. But it’s even harder this season for him because he’s being pulled in both directions.”

Caitriona Balfe confirmed Claire will have a difficult time following the trauma she endured in season five. “I think she’s not intentionally taking a step back, really, but I think given what happened at the end of last season I think for the first time…you know, Claire’s always been so good at compartmentalizing everything. She sort of puts the lid on things and moves on. But I think this is the first time she can’t suppress something and this is the first time where she really has to deal with happens.

We see her maybe be a little bit destabilized and so that bleeds into, I think, every aspect of her life. As much as she wants to continue on as if nothing had happened – and as Sam said Jamie is so aware of it he’s watching her… I think everybody is much more aware of what’s going on with Claire than she is until it becomes too much and she has to sort of deal with it,” explained Balfe. “It has an affect on every aspect of her life and definitely about her life as a doctor.”

Interesting Tidbits:

  • Sam Heughan said the first episode will be extended beyond an hour.
  • Maril Davis revealed season six will be intense, packed, and a journey of trauma for multiple characters.
  • Maril Davis confirmed season six will air in 2022 and season seven will start shooting next year.

The Outlander Season Six Plot, Courtesy of Starz:

The sixth season of Outlander sees a continuation of Claire and Jamie’s fight to protect those they love, as they navigate the trials and tribulations of life in colonial America. Establishing a home in the New World is by no means an easy task, particularly in the wild backcountry of North Carolina – and perhaps most significantly – during a period of dramatic political upheaval. The Frasers strive to maintain peace and flourish within a society which – as Claire knows all too well – is unwittingly marching towards Revolution.

Against this backdrop, which heralds the birth of the new American nation, Claire and Jamie have built a home together at Fraser’s Ridge. They must now defend this home – established on land granted to them by the Crown – not only from external forces, but also from the increasing strife and conflict in the community within their care. For the Frasers and their immediate family, “home” is more than simply a site in which they live, it is the place where they are laying the foundations for the rest of their lives.

If Season 4 asked “What is home?” and Season 5 asked, “What are you willing to do to protect your home?” then Season 6 explores what happens when there is disharmony and division among the inhabitants of the home you’ve created: when you become an outsider, or an ‘outlander,’ so to speak, marginalized and rejected in your own home.

As they try to piece together who’s after them, they reveal the dark side of their seemingly perfect town — and themselves.
