Welcome back Matt Casey (Jesse Spencer), who returns to Fire for the Season 10 finale to play best man at his pal and former colleague Kelly Severide’s (Taylor Kinney) wedding to Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo). His date, as you’d expect, will be his long-distance paramedic paramour Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer). This being Chicago Fire, don’t be surprised if there are a few four-alarm twists along the road to the altar. Also on a night of Chicago finales: Chicago Med (8/7) wraps its seventh season with Crockett (Dominic Rains) facing a tough decision when colleague/sometime lover Pamela Blake (Sarah Rafferty) undergoes potentially life-threatening surgery, and Chicago P.D. (10/9c) signs off on its ninth year with the squad scrambling to finally take down notorious drug kingpin Escano (José Zúñiga).

Before the votes can be cast to reward the sole survivor a cool $1 million, a nail-biter of an immunity challenge comes down to a single puzzle piece.

Martha being Martha, she also offers tips on how to pull off a successful tag sale of your own, while working with party planners on events including an exclusive cocktail party for neighbors and celebs to preview the sale.

The food competition’s 12th season brings back all-stars from past years—including two MasterChef Junior contestants who’ve grown up—in what host/judge Gordon Ramsay describes as “a season of redemption.” A roster of 40 MasterChef castoffs shows if they’ve learned from their past mishaps as they get their second shot—but only if they survive the first round, a cook-off that will reduce the field from 40 to 20 who’ll don the white apron.
