Ilia Malinin skates again in the men’s short program at the Winter Olympics. Fox‘s quirky Best Medicine takes on a new hue during the town’s annual blueberry festival.

Winter Olympics
“Quad God” Ilia Malinin, who was essential in earning gold for the USA in the team ice skating competition, is now competing individually, starting with the men’s short program (starts at 12:30 pm/ET on USA Network, with Part 2 on NBC at 1:45 pm/ET). The first full Tuesday of Olympic action includes Alpine, Freestyle, and Cross-Country Skiing, Ski Jumping, Biathlon, Curling, Luge, Speedskating, and USA vs. Canada in Women’s Hockey (2:10 pm/ET, USA Network). All events are livestreamed and available for replay on Peacock. NBC’s Primetime in Milan recap begins at 8/7c. (Check nbcolympics.com/schedule for details.)

Best Medicine
Another week, another festival in quaint Port Wenn, and another medical mystery for grumpy Dr. Martin Best (Josh Charles) in the quirky Doc Martin adaptation. The doc isn’t the only one playing the blues when he diagnoses a fellow who may have turned blue for consuming too many blueberries in advance of the town’s annual blueberry festival. Louisa (Abigail Spencer) will be anything but blue if she wins the pie competition, and Aunt Sarah (Annie Potts) is likely to blow her top if Martin doesn’t stop bugging her about her health.

Will Trent
Will GBI agent Faith Mitchell (Iantha Richardson) lose faith in her fellow man and ever be able to trust her heart again? Seems a fair question after her dream beau, Malcolm (Devaughn Nixon), who presented himself as a millionaire hotel owner, turns out to be implicated in a bank heist that’s being investigated by Angie (Erika Christensen), Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin), and her own partner, Will (Ramón Rodríguez). Faith’s relationship suddenly goes from under covers to undercover as she secretly snoops on the guy she thought was her new Prince Charming.

The Artful Dodger
“I have spent my whole life dodging death,” declares Jack Dawkins (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), the reformed scoundrel made immortal in Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist as the master pickpocket known as the Artful Dodger. In this colorful period melodrama, Jack successfully reinvented himself as a surgeon in Australia but was drawn back into the criminal underworld by the crafty Fagin (David Thewlis). In Season 2, Jack is once again on the run from authorities, including the newly arrived Inspector Boxer (Luke Bracey), while pursuing a forbidden romance with aspiring surgeon Lady Belle (Maia Mitchell), who’s also caught Boxer’s eye. Fagin ropes Jack into another dangerous heist while a killer stalks Port Victory, promising plenty of action over eight episodes, all available for binge-watching.

Chef’s Kiss
The free streamer gets an early jump on Valentine’s Day with a Hallmark-style movie starring Adrienne Bailon-Houghton (The Real) as marketing maven Lauren, who heads to scenic Tuscany to refresh a family-owned pasta sauce brand. Turns out the family trattoria’s chef Mason (Tim Robards) would make the perfect face — and body — for the sauce. And what are the odds that romance is on the menu?
