Jared Leto Shares Throwback Tron Ares Light Cycle Video And Fans React


X/@JaredLeto

Jared Leto, just the other day, uploaded a retro video to his social media accounts revealing how he got his first-ever chance to ride a light cycle during the filming of ‘Tron: Ares,’ which resulted in a mixture of nostalgic reactions and critiques coming from the audience. Leto not only mesmerized the audience with his acting but also by sharing a behind-the-scenes moment and he asked the fans how he did which led to everything from excited praise to sharp critiques about his career choices.

Leto was seen in the video where it sounded like he was saying, “My feet be here is that where they should be? Yes. Wee! This one’s just so good. Yeah, it’s all good.” He seems really thrilled and a bit shy and he is slowly getting acquainted with the iconic vehicle. He even adds a laughing emoji and poses the question, “how did I do?” as his post’s caption.

The reactions were… let’s just say they were all over the place. The viewers were split between those who were fond of the memory lane trip and those who recognized his acting in the movie. One follower expressed, “Loved seeing this come full circle on screen. The light cycle scenes were stunning, and it’s wild looking back at how it all started here. You really brought Ares to life. 🙌” This indeed is high praise and a very solid acknowledgment of the whole process from the shaky beginning to the end result in the theatre.

But the opposite side of the story is also raised and it is certainly a tough one. One very brutal comment claimed that, “You are unbearable. You should take a backseat in films. You’re like Shia LaBeouf. When you’re supposed to be a supporting actor you take up the space too much and you’re too serious when a lead and that makes you seem uninteresting and rigid.” That was a very sharp and thorough critique. Another person even said, “You are just the shadow of your former self. You kill almost every part you do and the box office reveals it.” Strong words but no sugar-coating there.

Amidst all criticisms, a recurring many-sided opinion came from the fans who did like the movie very much and wanted more. A commenter quite urgently urged, “Don’t let tron franchise die, Jared. You did an awesome job, it’s a wonderful movie as well. Persuade Disney to make a sequel to Tron: Ares as we want to see Ares teaming up with Sam and Quorra.” Another person re-stated this and asked, “Will you tell us if they green light Tron 4?” The wish for a continuation is definitely very strong among a part of the audience.

Then there were just pure fun and supportive reactions. One user was very impressed and focused the whole thing being super cool and wrote, “I would be fangirling to sit on a freaking lightcycle,” which would be, honestly, same. It’s a light cycle! Another one went ahead and gave some simple, very friendly advice: “Keep the Rubber side down partner☺️.” Very good logic, indeed. And one fan just found the situation very cute, saying, “Aww why is Jared Leto so silly? 🥹”

Interestingly enough, there were also a few comments completely off-topic. One user very frankly wanted to know, “We just want the rock album, man,” directing the conversation away from movie-making to his music with the band Thirty Seconds to Mars. It’s a reminder that Leto’s career is multi-faceted and his fans are following all parts.

The video also facilitated some comparisons that were fun. One person commented, “Just like the coaster at Walt Disney World!” connecting the film icon to the popular attraction at the theme park, while another user accompanied the well-known “Morbius” meme with a joke saying, “Thats right bitches, its morbius time.” You just can’t escape that one, can you?

Regardless of the varying reactions, quite a number of the comments were supportive of Leto’s performance. “You did great brother don’t mind the haters. We appreciate what you did for the franchise,” was the comment of one supporter. Another added, “I loved it, it was refreshing, why does everyone shit on Jared.” This shows the divisive nature of Leto’s public image and film selections, where he seems to either evoke intense loyalty or face strong criticism, having very little middle ground.

The light cycle was a source of fascination. One fan confessed, “I wish they would manufacture one for real. I saw your movie 4 times just because the light cycle scene is so dope 🤘.” This suggests the continuous curiosity for the Tron universe’s futuristic vehicles and its legacy that still captures people’s imagination.

This kind of fan engagement reminds me of the heartfelt parenting wisdom shared by Rider Strong in a different context. In conclusion of the post, Jared Leto’s nostalgic post served as a small Rorschach test for his audience, much like the spirited energy Lauren Alaina and Brandon Armstrong brought to their performances. For some, it was an entertaining sneak-pe

Luka Doncic returns and Lakers get a road win at Memphis

Luka Doncic returns and Lakers get a road win at Memphis


MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Luka Doncic didn’t celebrate when he sank his first half-court heave during warmups. He didn’t gloat when coaches dutifully dropped to the court to pay the push-up price.

The Lakers’ superstar just makes greatness feel expected.

Doncic’s 44 points, 12 rebounds and six assists led the Lakers to a 117-112 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday at FedEx Forum as he returned from a three-game absence.

With a third consecutive 40-point performance, the 26-year-old guard is just the second player in NBA history to open a season by scoring 40 points in each of his first three games. Wilt Chamberlain is the other.

“Jesus,” Doncic said when he heard Chamberlain scored 40 points in seven and five games to start two different seasons.

“If we get a win, I feel even better,” Doncic added. “That’s the whole point: trying to help the team to win. And sometimes it’s going to be scoring, sometimes other things.”

Doncic is averaging 45.4 points per game with 11.7 rebounds, 7.7 assists and shooting 58.4% from the field in three games. When teammates glance up at the scoreboard and see his scoring pace, even they can be surprised. That’s how effortless Doncic makes it look.

“Fantasticness,” guard Marcus Smart of Doncic’s play. “It’s been great to watch.”

The only thing that’s slowed him down is injuries: a left finger sprain and a left leg contusion suffered in the second game of the season in which he still put up 49 points.

He was initially supposed to be reevaluated in a week after being injured on Oct. 24 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but he progressed faster than expected with round-the-clock treatment.

After missing the Lakers’ thrilling win in Minnesota on Wednesday, Doncic rejoined the team Thursday in Memphis and promptly went to the gym with coaches and staff members. Doncic and guard Marcus Smart, who also returned after missing two games with a left quad contusion and scored 12 points with four assists and two steals, went straight into the starting lineup.

Doncic returned like he never left. He scored 16 points in the third quarter to lead the Lakers (4-2) back from a 14-point halftime deficit. Austin Reaves, who has starred as the Lakers still won two of three games in Doncic’s absence, finished with 21 points.

Doncic was hitting step-back threes and hopping on one leg as he admired the arc on his shot. He pivoted around and through a double team and faded away deep in the shot clock, ready to sink Memphis’ hopes with his signature jump shot. But instead of shooting, he dumped off a pass to a wide-open Deandre Ayton, who scored on a wide-open layup.

Doncic split a double team with a slick behind-the-back dribble that drew oohs and ahhs from the Memphis crowd. The crafty finish at the rim put the Lakers up by four. Hometown fans wondered how the Grizzlies were staying so close when it felt like Doncic had the game on a string.

While Doncic was carrying the Lakers, the Grizzlies (3-3) fought back as a unit.

Memphis answered with 19 consecutive points. Redick, who claimed he didn’t raise his voice at halftime, but still spoke to his team sternly in not-safe-for-work language, credited the Grizzlies players for simply playing harder than the Lakers.

“So we challenged them at halftime,” Redick said, “and it was like watching two different teams.”

Doncic opened the third quarter with a three-pointer. Reaves followed with another. The Lakers flipped the halftime deficit to a two-point lead going into the fourth quarter despite playing the entire second half without Ayton.

Ayton did not return after halftime as he dealt with back spasms. He told reporters in the locker room that he had been battling them all day after the team’s morning shoot-around and he reaggravated the injury on an alley-oop play. He was available to play in the fourth quarter when he returned to the bench with trainers using massage guns on his lats and applying a heat pack to his back, but the Lakers didn’t need him.

Doncic’s magic was more than enough.

After soaring 282% is this blue-chip the best share to consider buying if markets crash in November?

After soaring 282% is this blue-chip the best share to consider buying if markets crash in November?


Image source: Getty Images

It’s a brand-new month and I’m looking for the best share to buy in November. Yet this is a tricky time to be an investor. Lately, we’ve had repeated warnings about a potential stock market crash. Many think artificial intelligence will be the trigger. They say AI is in a bubble. That we’re looking at the dotcom boom and bust all over again.

Will the FTSE 100 fall?

That always happens at this time of year. October has history. The Wall Street crash happened in October 1929, as did the Black Monday meltdown in 1987. So investors can get a little antsy.

Yet instead of crashing, the S&P 500 climbed 1.92% last month, while the FTSE 100 shot up 2.87%, to close at 9,717.25. What bubble? What bust?

Of course it could still come. There’s no rule that says markets can’t crash in November, although they have developed a habit of surging in the final two months of the year. With the US Federal Reserve cutting interest rates last week, and potentially cutting again on 10 December, this bull market could have further to run.

The truth is, nobody knows. It’s impossible to predict a crash, so ignore those who try. There is one thing investors can do though. Buy cheap shares after it’s happened. 

If we do get a sell-off, or even a volatility-fuelled dip, the first stock I would check out is Barclays (LSE: BARC).  The FTSE 100 bank’s shares have had an absolutely brilliant run lately (as have the other blue-chip banks). Barclays is up 71% over the last 12 months, and 282% over five years. All dividends are on top.

Like the other banks, it’s had to claw its way back to respectability after the financial crisis, but the job seems to be done now.

There are more safety barriers today, with stricter capital requirements, but we can’t rule out further problems in this sector. 

When concerns about the $4.5trn US shadow banking system popped up last month, Barclays dipped, only to recover when investors decided there was nothing in it, for now.

Barclays is expanding

Unlike Lloyds and NatWest, Barclays has retained an investment banking division, giving it exposure to the lucrative US market. That means it could run hotter in good times, but fall faster when investors panic.

It’s exploring other areas too. Last Monday (27 October) it secured a Saudi Arabian investment banking licence, continuing its Middle East expansion. On Tuesday, we learned it’s buying US personal loan platform Best Egg for $800m.

Its foreign ventures increases the risk compared to, say,  Lloyds, which is now purely domestic, but also increases the potential rewards. There’s something else to consider. The big banks could be targeted with a windfall tax in the Budget on 26 November.

Long-term perspective

If markets do turn volatile, as they inevitably will at some point, Barclays could be hit harder. Investors might consider buying it at a reduced valuation, with the aim of holding long-term to allow the cycle to swing back in its favour.

Yet with a price-to-earnings ratio of just 11.3, Barclays looks good value today. Maybe not the very best, but it’s worth considering even if markets don’t crash. Although investors might want to wait to see what the Budget brings.

Rams vs. Saints: How to watch, start time and prediction


p]:text-cms-story-body-color-text clearfix”>

It was December 2020, and the Rams were in the midst of their third run to the playoffs in four seasons under coach Sean McVay.

Their opponent: the 0-13 New York Jets.

There was seemingly no way the hapless Jets could beat a 9-4 Rams team at SoFi Stadium.

  • Share via

Gary Klein breaks down what to expect from the Rams on Sunday when they face the New Orleans Saints at SoFi Stadium.

But the Rams came out flat and lost, 23-20.

On Sunday, the Rams welcome the seemingly hapless New Orleans Saints, who arrive with a 1-7 record.

“I don’t care what the record says,” McVay said. “The tape tells you a very different story. … If we’re not ready to go we’ll certainly be humbled.”

Don’t expect a repeat of 2020.

The Saints, under first-year coach Kellen Moore, will send rookie quarterback Tyler Shough into his first start against a Chris Shula-coordinated Rams defense that features edge rushers Jared Verse and Byron Young and linemen Kobie Turner, Braden Fiske and Poona Ford.

Young ranks third in the NFL with nine sacks. Verse has four.

Sunday’s game marks the Rams debut of cornerback Roger McCreary, who was acquired in a trade with the Tennessee Titans.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has passed for 17 touchdowns, with only two interceptions. He has not had a pass intercepted in four games.

Star receiver Puka Nacua is back after sitting out an Oct. 19 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in London because of an ankle injury. Right tackle Rob Havenstein also will return after being sidelined for three games because of an ankle injury.

Saints defensive coordinator Brandon Staley was the Rams’ defensive coordinator in 2020 before the Chargers hired him as their head coach.

Deputy arrested in case of Orange County hospital assault

An Orange County sheriff’s deputy is out on bail after being arrested this week in connection with the reported sexual assault of an incarcerated woman.

The 29-year-old deputy, Leobardo Martinez Garcia, was arrested Wednesday, two weeks after the victim made a report, according to authorities.

In March 2025, the victim was in custody and being treated at a local hospital when Martinez Garcia assaulted her, authorities allege. Eight months later, on Oct. 14, the victim, who is currently incarcerated at an Orange County jail, reported the assault to jail staff, who then shared the claim with investigators, sheriff’s deputies said.

Orange County investigators “immediately” began the investigation, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, and conducted interviews and analyzed “digital evidence,” which could include phone and email records, as well as search warrants.

The information uncovered was adequate enough to warrant the arrest of Martinez Garcia on suspicion of felony sexual battery and assault under the color of authority, and he was detained in the Santa Ana Jail.

He was released Thursday on bond and placed on paid leave. Officials confirmed that Martinez Garcia is still employed by the sheriff’s office as the investigation into his charges continues.

In light of Martinez Garcia’s charges, Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes called the deputy’s alleged conduct “a violation of the oath to serve and protect our community, particularly those entrusted to our care in the Orange County Jail.”

“I could not be more disappointed in the actions of Mr. Martinez Garcia,” Barnes said.

After the investigation is completed, officials said the case will either be assigned to the Orange County district attorney or to the United States district attorney, depending on the charges considered and evidence collected. His arraignment date will then be announced. If Martinez Garcia is charged with assault under the color of authority, a federal crime, his case will be heard in U.S. federal court.

Hundreds feared dead in days of protests after disputed Tanzanian elections | World News


Hundreds of people are feared dead after days of protests over Tanzania’s disputed election, which incumbent President Samia Suluhu Hassan was declared to have won with nearly 98% of the vote.

Police fired gunshots and tear gas as demonstrators took to the streets during Wednesday’s vote, with some tearing down banners of the Manchester-educated leader and setting fire to government buildings.

Protesters are angry about the exclusion of her two biggest challengers from the contest and what they say is widespread repression.

Estimates of the number killed have so far varied wildly, with Tanzania’s main opposition party claiming hundreds had been killed in the protests, while the UN said credible reports indicated at least 10 people had been killed in three cities.

Disputed vote

The electoral commission said Hassan received more than 31.9 million votes, with turnout nearing 87% of the East African nation’s registered voters.

However witnesses said turnout on election day appeared low, with some polling stations disrupted by protests.

The main opposition party CHADEMA called for demonstrations during the election, which it said amounted to a “coronation” of Ms Hassan.

The party was disqualified in April after refusing to sign a controversial code of conduct and its leader Tundu Lissu has been jailed for months after being charged with treason.

Mr Lissu had called for electoral reforms, which he said were needed for free and fair elections.

Death toll unclear

Tanzanian authorities have not said how many people have been killed or injured in the violence.

However, CHADEMA claimed hundreds of people had been killed since election day on Wednesday.

In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of the UK, Canada and Norway cited “credible reports of a large number of fatalities and significant injuries, as a result of the security response to protests”.

The Tanzanian government dismissed the opposition’s death toll as “hugely exaggerated” and has rejected criticism of its human rights record.

Tens of thousands killed in Sudan city, analysts believe

One of the few women to have been an African head of state, Ms Hassan won praise after she took office in 2021 following the death of her predecessor.

She was credited with easing repression but has been criticised more recently by opposition parties and activists after a string of arrests and alleged abductions of opponents.

She has denied allegations of widespread rights abuses. Last year, she said she had ordered an investigation into reports of abductions, but no official findings have been released.

Only minor parties were permitted to take on Ms Hassan in the elections after CHADEMA and fellow opposition party ACT-Wazalendo had candidates disqualified.

With SNAP outlook uncertain, food banks warn of crisis : NPR

More than 40 million Americans who rely on federal food assistance woke up to uncertainty on Saturday over whether their aid is secure or when it will resume in full.

A federal judge in Rhode Island on Friday ordered the White House to use contingency funds to pay for those benefits. But it was unclear how that decision would correspond with a separate decision by a judge in Massachusetts telling the administration it had until “no later than Monday” to come up with a way to use emergency funds to pay for aid.

The impasse over funding the government means that the nearly 1 in 8 U.S. residents who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, to buy groceries may be facing at least a temporary lapse in benefits. Following Friday’s decisions, President Trump said he had directed government lawyers to find a way to pay for SNAP, and that he instructed them to seek further clarity on the rulings. He cautioned, however, that even with immediate guidance, benefits “will unfortunately be delayed while States get the money out.”

SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, is the country’s largest anti-hunger program.

A federal worker moves through the food distribution line.

A coalition of Democratic governors and attorneys general are suing the federal government to keep the payments flowing, arguing the benefits cannot legally be cut off. The Trump administration says it’s not legal to extend the benefits using emergency funds — though the administration extended benefits during a shutdown in the first term.

As congressional gridlock continues, states are exploring what they can offer their residents who’ve just lost their food aid.

Volunteers on the National Mall sorted groceries during the People's Pantry Food drive to replenish food banks on Thursday as the lapse in SNAP benefits was approaching.

Eyes turning to food banks 

Food bank administrators are warning that the loss of November SNAP benefits could lead to a public health crisis.

Jason Riggs, the director of advocacy and public policy at Roadrunner Food Bank of New Mexico, likens it to the recession 17 years ago and the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mary Ann Edwards takes stock of inventory at the Llano Food Pantry on October 23, 2025. She said the pantry has seen increased need because of rising costs of good over the last year. With SNAP benefits set to halt pending Congressional intervention, she expects to see "a bunch of new people coming in."

“This is a huge increase in need, but that’s where comparisons end,” he said. “When [those] happened, there was a robust SNAP program, with all its flaws, doing what it is designed to do. And that’s the difference with what’s happening right now — there will not be SNAP. There will just be the same kind of catastrophic need for food.”

More than 21% of New Mexico residents receive SNAP benefits, the highest rate in the nation.

People are turning to food banks to help fill in the assistance gap, but administrators caution they aren’t designed to act as a safety net for a government program.

“It’s very daunting,” Riggs told NPR. “SNAP can provide nine times the amount of meals as the entire nationwide food bank network.”

Central Texas Food Bank CEO Sari Vatske said shutdowns aren’t like other food crises.

“In a situation during a natural disaster where we could rely on our sister food banks for support, with this government shutdown, we are all experiencing the same need,” she said.

Businesses that partner with grocery retailers and restaurants to take surplus or near-expired food and sell it at a heavy discount, like Too Good To Go and Flashfood, are trying to reach people affected.

Flashfood CEO Jordan Schenck said the organization has seen a spike in downloads in the last few days.

“That started as [the SNAP cliff] really became more prevalent in the media. We’ve definitely seen more traffic,” Schenck told NPR.

Anthony Bryant, a volunteer with Feeding South Florida, prepares food items to give to government workers on October 28, 2025 in Dania Beach, Florida. As the government shutdown nears four weeks, Feeding America and its members have been launching food distribution sites for people affected by the government shutdown.

The view from Capitol Hill  

One month into the shutdown, there is no concrete off-ramp.

The Senate left D.C. on Thursday for the weekend, ahead of two major pain points of the shutdown coming into sharper relief on Saturday: the SNAP cliff, and the start of open enrollment for health insurance plans sold on the exchanges as part of the Affordable Care Act.

Health care has been at the center of Congressional Democrats’ shutdown strategy. They have demanded that Republicans negotiate with them to extend the enhanced subsidies, which were boosted during the pandemic. They are set to expire at the end of the year. If nothing changes, Americans who purchase healthcare via the exchange could see their premiums skyrocket.

At a Thursday town hall with Maryland Democrats, including Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, Democratic constituents urged the party to hold the line.

“I think they should hold out as long as possible,” said Maryland voter Christina Thompson. “It’s clear whose shutdown this is. Republicans hold all the leverage and all the cards. And if we back out now, then we’re just showing again the party has no backbone.”

Republicans have maintained throughout the month-long shutdown that Democrats must first vote alongside them to fund the government, before addressing the health care subsidies.

The typically subdued Senate Majority Leader John Thune R-S.D., reproached Democrats on the floor Wednesday after they tried to pass a measure that would fund SNAP and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC).

“This isn’t a political game,” Thune said, raising his voice. “These are real people’s lives we’re talking about and you all just figured out 29 days that, oh there might be some consequences?”

Psychologist’s benzodiazepine warning for anxiety treatment

Psychologist’s benzodiazepine warning for anxiety treatment


If you are struggling with anxiety or sleep disorders, your GP might prescribe lorazepam or alprazolam, also known as xanax. These medications, part of the benzodiazepine family, work by targeting gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a chemical that induces calming effects in the body.

While both drugs can be used to manage anxiety, alprazolam can also be prescribed for controlling seizures associated with epilepsy. Despite their effectiveness in treating symptoms of anxiety and other issues, one clinical psychologist has cautioned against over-reliance on these drugs.

Fernando Azor, a psychologist who frequently shares content on social media, informed his TikTok followers that while benzodiazepines can help ‘calm’ anxiety symptoms, they do not address the root causes. He emphasised that physical symptoms linked to anxiety are not always inherently negative or requiring immediate clinical intervention.

“Fernando psychologist TIKTOKPhysical sensation of anxiety In a recent video, originally posted in Spanish, Fernando said: “If you have taken Lorazepam or Alprazolam to resolve an anxiety attack, you have to consider what is behind an anxiety crisis, and those peaks of alertness and concern, so that you can manage them, in addition to using the help of one of these drugs. These drugs, Alprazolam and Lorazepam, are well-known drugs that have a very significant effect in reducing levels of alertness, worry and distress.

“What happens is that people who have anxiety crises are not capable of facing and dealing with these physical symptoms caused by anxiety. We often associate a rapid heartbeat, blurred vision, feelings of strangeness or nervousness as something really negative that must be avoided at all costs.

“Nobody likes feeling that, but it is a very logical and reasonable symptom, depending on how we perceive something or the objective nature of what threatens us. It doesn’t matter if it’s subjective or objective. If we perceive a situation as a threat, it makes sense for our body to react.”

Developing strategies to cope

Fernando adds: “The problem with anxiety crises is that we end up looking for the drug, which takes little time to take effect, especially if you put it under the tongue, when the effect is further abbreviated. We will effectively make the feeling disappear, but we will create the sensation that all symptoms of alertness and concern are wrong.

“And that would be like saying that being hungry is wrong. It is a sensation that can sometimes be very intense, even unpleasant, but it is not inherently bad. What happens then?

“Eating solves the issue. However, when it comes to anxiety, the only thing we do is create more sensation of distress and further dependence on a drug without creating a strategy to cope with it. “

“Through psychotherapy, it is possible to train people in skills and experiences that reduce the perception of discomfort when faced with symptoms of anxiety. The person learns not only through logic but also through experiences to live with these feelings without wanting to eliminate them so quickly.

“In this sense, it would not be as necessary to take Alprazolam, and it would effectively help moderate the person’s feelings of anguish, nervousness, or discomfort, until they disappear at some point.”

If you are experiencing signs of untreated anxiety, including difficulty sleeping, difficulty controlling your feelings, or feeling anxious a lot of the for at least six months, it is generally recommended that you see your GP. Guidance from the NHS highlights that your GP may offer a range of treatments, including:

  • Medicines aimed at treating anxiety
  • Talking therapies, such as CBT
  • Referral to a community mental health team that could involve specialist treatment

Further guidance on generalised anxiety disorder, including its treatments, can be found here.

Danny And Baez Reunite In Season 1, Episode 3

There were no tricks, only treats during Friday’s “Boston Blue,” which featured the second appearance by Donnie Wahlberg’s former “Blue Bloods” co-star Marisa Ramirez and introduced a pair of familiar TV faces as Lena and Sarah’s new love interests.

Read on for all the highlights from Season 1, Episode 3: “History.”

Boston Blue Recap: Danny and Baez Reunite in Season 1CBS screenshot

Early in the hour, Lena caught Danny snapping a selfie at Boston Harbor — a moment that confirmed he’s still in touch with his former partner-turned-girlfriend, Maria Baez, after deciding to relocate to Beantown at the end of Episode 2.

“I didn’t take you for the selfie type,” Lena remarked.

“Sometimes I make exceptions,” Danny replied.

But when she pressed if it was “somebody special,” he decided not to indulge his new partner just yet.

A Former Partner… and a New Love

That changed once Lena’s former partner, Detective Brian Rogers, entered the picture — played by Ryan Broussard, whom viewers may recognize from Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” (as Oliver’s son Will) and Fox’s “Alert: Missing Persons Unit” (as Detective Mike Sherman). We soon learned that there were sparks between Lena and Brian, but Lena — much like Danny with Baez — refused to cross that line while they were still working side by side.

By the end of the episode, Lena was open to a date — but only after a heart-to-heart with Danny. She revealed that she once put her career on hold to financially support an ex-boyfriend through medical school, only for him to meet someone else during his residency. “And now you’re afraid to get involved with someone you might have feelings for because you don’t want to regret it,” Danny deduced.

“I’ve been there,” he told her, explaining that he refused to date his partner “even though there were obviously feelings there. And after my wife died, I was afraid to get hurt again” — that was, until “a very wise man gave me some very sage advice, and I actually took it, and I don’t regret it. But this is not about me, it’s about you.”

Back at the precinct, Lena took Brian up on that date. And moments later, the elevator doors opened to reveal that Maria was in town for a romantic weekend with Danny.

“Hello there, beautiful,” he greeted her. “I just punched out, so I’m all yours.”

“Am I gonna meet your new partner?” Maria asked.

“She’s a little bit busy right now,” he answered, acknowledging Lena and Brian were all smiles back at her desk.

Danny and Maria entered the elevator, and he wrapped his arms around her. “God, I missed you,” he said. Alas, before viewers had a chance to see them kiss, the doors closed, and the episode cut to black.

A Big Move For Sarah

Season 1, Episode 3 also introduced Sarah’s boyfriend — who, unless we missed it, wasn’t given a name this week. He was played by Mike Vogel, whose previous credits include Netflix’s “Sex/Life,” NBC’s “The Brave” and CBS’ “Under the Dome.”

The hour established that Sarah and her boyfriend’s teenage daughter, Phoebe (Matia Jackett), don’t have the best relationship. Still, Sarah’s trying her darnedest, recognizing that she and Phoebe’s father have the potential to go the distance — especially now that he’s invited her to move in with him and Phoebe.
