Season 2 Episode 13

The midseason schedule is in full swing and that affects the schedule on CBS. It will even affect the airing of this show. You will see some new episodes of it on Wednesday at 10/9 Central. But this will be gone during midseason and replaced with Rush Hour on Thursdays in Elementary’s old time slot while Elementary movies to this time slot. Meanwhile, Code Black, the show that replaced CSI, will be replaced with Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders. Meanwhile, Life in Pieces, which replaced half of CSI: New York, will be replaced by a returning show: The Odd Couple.

http://adamdeckermadamsecretaryblog.blogspot.com/ This is a link to my first blog about a CBS Sunday show. It helped create one about The Good Wife and later this one that you are reading now. I created that blog due to a dream about having a Madam Secretary blog. Tape delay created other blogs about the shows on after it due to rules that I have regarding when that could happen. I might create one about Elementary, although I’m not sure if that will happen unless they keep airing it in this timeslot in future seasons. I also had a dream about having a blog about Bob’s Burgers, but at the moment, I won’t create it although that could change at some point before it ends.

Here’s a section that I’m putting in multiple blog posts. I was away from my home visiting family the day that this episode aired. There were potential ways for me to record the Sunday episodes of shows that I blog about, but I was concerned that the PGA tour might run long and there would be a tape delay messing up the recordings. This didn’t ultimately happen, though. I could have potentially watched and blogged about it elsewhere, but a lack of definite plans prevented that. Thus, the CBS shows that I blog about were watched online for this week and this post may be different than usual as a result.

There were different plans going into the weekend as to how I would see these episodes for my blog. Using my TV tuner was not an option as that would mean either leaving it set up all weekend or trusting some new person with access to the house that I’d have to give them in order to somehow figure out how to set up my laptop to record stuff on it. Now I do not trust anyone to set up the laptop to record shows because they could easily mess up at that. Now you’d think the Super Bowl would mean that tape delay is over for the season, but it isn’t. I’ve learned before that there will be other reasons that tape delay would still happen in the future. The epg that I use said that it would be golf until 5:30, then half an hour of local news followed by an on time 60 Minutes. The golf worried me and I didn’t set up the VCR to record as a result. Now I could have brought my laptop to my brother’s house and blog about it there, but it didn’t seem like a good idea and it wouldn’t have been. I should have used the VCR after all, but I didn’t know when I’d be back or if it would mess up or not. So I’m watching this online and hopefully it won’t happen again, although it probably will happen that I’m not able to watch live or record the show in the future anyways. I’ll just do my best to avoid it happening in the future.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with a person who was running away from a person, by the looks of it, someone bad. Avery receives news that her ex-husband has died and she got the life insurance policy. She gets upset about it. But he’s not actually dead by the looks of it. He has been falsely labeled as dead. You know, I’ve seen a 60 Minutes special on that. It would be bad to be declared dead when you aren’t. Of course, it would be bad to be dead. He has apparently been digitally murdered somehow. Unlike a lot of this show, this is one that I actually believe would happen. It turns out that a lot of people have been declared digitally murdered.

The second part brings us the focus of today’s episode: social engineering- manipulating computer users to reveal sensitive information to use in a hack. A person is freed of charges, but it looks like he is an evil person. Avery talks to the suspect from earlier and tries to negotiate for information. Of course, the suspect wants freedom, but will she get it? Avery’s ex is getting married. The ex of his fiancé is fighting against him marrying her. The suspect is helping with the case for some odd reason. Can she be trusted? This might just be for her to get out of jail time.

The third part has Avery helping her ex. She has mixed emotions and doesn’t know how to react. The team looks for more evidence with the case. They look for more information with Stella, the female suspect from earlier. She has immunity for the moment, but it apparently can be revoked. Can it though? Is that something that can really happen? But she gives information relating to the case. Avery talks more to her ex about why she had the life insurance policy. She used him on a box of hers.

The next part has people looking for information relating to the case. They go on what looks like a stakeout of some sort. Daniel seems convinced that Stella is still evil and she probably is. They arrest a guy who was helping Stella. She is the reaper person that they were looking for. So they chase after her and are able to get her easily. Avery talks to her ex one last time.

Well, I’m glad that somebody put this episode on youtube or I might not have been able to see it. You see, I had planned to watch it on www.cbs.com like I would most other shows I’d need to watch online, but I wasn’t able to as I must have waited too long. But, I was able to see it. Yay for me! Now I have only the last episode this season to watch left and I’ll be back with other posts later. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
