Ebbs and Flows
The ebb and flow of the tides is an iconic metaphor for change and growth. The word ebb can also be used to describe the process of coming back down to earth after an emotional high or slump. Both words are used in everyday speech, and understanding how to use them correctly can help you improve your vocabulary and enhance your writing.
Whether you’re going through an emotional ebb or just want to learn how to better manage stress, there are many ways to practice self-care. In this Episode, Bailey Webb discusses the importance of self-care and how to use the ebbs and flows in your life to your advantage.
For more than 30 years, James Heinzen, professor of history and director of the Hollybush Institute for Global Peace and Security in the College of Humanities & Social Sciences, has been digging through declassified Soviet-era archives, uncovering untold stories of 20th century Russia. He recently published a pair of books that look at how ordinary people got by under an authoritarian regime: Inventing a Soviet Countryside: The Transformation of Rural Russia Before Collectivization (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2004) and The Art of the Bribe: Corruption in Stalin’s Russia (Yale University Press, 2016).

This week, Joe’s newest asset is Marine recruit Cruz Manuelos (played by Netflix’s Locke & Key star Laysla De Oliveira). Her story is one of the more compelling and layered in the premiere as she rises through her rank while juggling a difficult home life. Her chemistry with Saldana is already off to a strong start and it will be interesting to see how their dynamic develops throughout the season.
Out of the Swamp
The gang of escaped convicts in this Roger Corman production may look like a bunch of girl scouts gussied up in wet swimsuits but they’re far from innocent. This fun cheesy handling is one of the first films to feature all-female leads and plenty of naughty dialogue and sexy scenes of shapely women rolling around in mud, water and dirt. And, of course, catfights.
The plot in this episode floats along like a flip-flop caught in the lazy river ride at your local waterpark. It starts with the gang of girls, Josie and the sultry redhead Vera, confiscating a boat from a man who owes them a favor in exchange for a ride into the swampy bayou in search of diamond loot. In their lust for bling they take an oil man and his whimpering girlfriend hostage on the journey. They’ll just have to keep him tied up until they find the treasure.
It seems to be a good thing that the man in the boat is an ex-serviceman but, after he’s shot saving Inspector Mallory, the inspector gets involved and uncovers a web of corruption. During his investigation he is assisted by Father Brown who has himself committed to Danvers Retreat (the church committal facility) so that he can covertly investigate the premises.
Despite the fact that Felix Underwood died on the street and returned to life two days later at his church committal, Father Brown and Inspector Sullivan – who has been sent by Special Branch posing as the Reverend Trueman – cannot determine a motive for his resurrection. The suspects range from a bus company boss, the wife of the stationmaster at Kembleford Station and the new cleaner, Pandora.
The naughty dialogue, sexy scenes and a good dose of goofball humor make this an entertaining episode of Father Brown. But, as with most episodes of the series there is a little bit more than meets the eye. For example, the economics lessons are a lot more sophisticated than one might expect. Using coffee sales, spectrum auctions and third world corruption, the show’s economist host uses these examples to teach economic theory without resorting to distasteful analogies such as “the unique target” and “the monopoly game.” This is an example of what makes Father Brown a truly unique show.
Out of the Woods
For a musical rooted in the moral certitudes of the Grimms fairy tales, Into the Woods is surprisingly fresh. It’s also a bold choice for Encores!, which typically showcases hazily remembered classics unlikely to return to the stage.
For 14 years, Neil Woods would leave his wife and young children at home, put on stained charity-shop scally tracksuit bottoms and turn up in a town somewhere in England, disguise himself as a drug addict, ingratiate himself with the local underworld and get involved to such an extent that he was eventually arrested and sent off for a long stretch. He learnt a great deal, not least about the criminal underclass. He was also exposed to how corrupt his own police force could be – the senior ranks seemed to shrug and say that it was inevitable when dealing with a criminal trade worth PS7bn.
In his book, Out of the Woods, Bauer explores the history of profit-driven incarceration, which is, as he puts it, “slavery by another name”. He delves into the early history of convict leasing, in which entire prisons were rented out to individuals and companies for captive work forces. He then explains how the incarceration industry developed its modern-day monopolies, and how the government’s war on drugs has only served to fuel it.
The House in the Woods is a good Midsomer Murders episode, with lots going on, some really interesting twists and a memorable yet enjoyably daft plot. It sees the departure of Sergeant Dan Scott, Barnaby’s sidekick who phoned in sick at the beginning of the season and has never been seen again, & also marks the introduction of DC Ben Jones.
Luke Turner, who plays the role of Little Red, has his own struggles to contend with in this absorbing novel. The woods where he finds sanctuary are an escape from the demands of his family and society at large, but they contain other dangers of their own. A place of compulsion, they are a place where his demons come to play, as he attempts to reconcile his bisexual identity and troubled personal history.
Out of the Darkness
The Rookie has seen a number of guest stars join the cast over its four-season run. Some have become regulars, such as the aforementioned Kristen Johnston as Abigail Hayes, who takes over her mother’s Senate campaign and tries to mend fences with her fractious family in season 4. Others have popped up for just one or two episodes before returning to their regular roles.
These include Melissa O’Neil as Lucy Chen, a fellow LAPD rookie with whom Nolan befriends and subsequently becomes involved with in the pilot. It was a clear attempt to imbue the series with a romance subplot, and it was an approach that didn’t sit well with many fans.
Other guest stars include Dana Delany as Judge Paloma, the on-call judge who approves the warrant for Nolan’s arrest; Harold Perrineau as Nick Armstrong, a corrupt cop working for a crime family and attempting to frame rookie John Nolan; and Mitch Pileggi as Rex, an LAPD detective who helps Nolan and Chen with several cases. Sarah Shahi, who appeared as a former FBI hostage negotiator in seasons 1 and 2, is now a writer for the show, while Brent Huff as Quigley Smitty, a lazy training officer who lives in a trailer park across from the Mid-Wilshire station and only shows up for roll call, has become a regular since season three.
Also joining the ensemble in season five are a pair of new faces: Jax Taylor (Seann William Scott) and his country-tough girlfriend Brittany, who start work at Lisa Vanderpump’s upscale L.A. nightclub. They bring plenty of wild and sexy chaos to the club, but they also put the brakes on Jax’s playboy ways.
Imelda Staunton plays the indomitable Momma Rose in a new adaptation of Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim’s classic musical Gypsy, which tells the true story of stripper and entertainer Gypsy Rose Lee. The episode features a slew of musical numbers and some impressive acting from the talented cast, including Emily Bergl as Rose. Stream the full episode on ABC’s website.
