The Resident moves to its new night tonight at 8p on Fox and it takes place a month after the season finale.
Nic (Emily VanCamp) is still dealing with the loss of her family member. In the season finale, her father gave her sister his kidney. The surgeries did not go as smoothly as expected. Therefore, only one survived and we find out who. The loss is so devastating to her that she cannot even step into the hospital. Tonight she goes back for the first time.
Not on a good day. As soon as she walks in, there is an explosion in the basement. Little does she know that Conrad (Matt Czuchry) went down to the basement looking for a lost little boy. Together the two of them and another person are caught in the explosion. Will Nic lose someone else she loves?
Meanwhile, Dr. Bell (Bruce Greenwood) is dealing with the hospital being sold to a conglomerate. They made him take on Barrett Cain (Morris Chestnut) neurosurgeon, who has an ego that puts them all to shame. As we know, no one has a bigger ego than Bell. At least we used to know.
Chastain General is going through a lot of changes this season. I cannot wait to see them play out.

Then at 9p, Empire begins its final season. It will be a figuratively explosive one. The show picks up months after the season finale.
Lucious (Terrence Howard) is in hiding and has a new look. Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) is on a View like show. Andre (Trai Byers) is running Empire but someone comes in claim their stake. He does not want this person there.
The Lyons are trying to figure out who they are without their leader. However, how long can he stay away? Do they need him?
You are just going to have to tune in for a season where anything can happen. Anything but Jussie Smollett coming back to the show this season.

Also at 9p, is FBI that starts off with a Muslim restaurant getting bombed. The case hits close to home for Omar (Zeeko Zaki) who used to eat there all the time as a kid. This is his community in more ways than one.
When an FBI agent comes to him and tells him that there is going to be another attack, he has to go undercover to stop it. Since this is close to him, he will make a mistake. One that could cost him his job.
The episode also looks at what Muslims in America have been dealing with since 9/11. Something they handle very responsibly.
Tune in for an emotional season premiere that really makes people think.
