TODAY’S HIGHLIGHTS
7 PM ( NICK) Henry Danger The juvenile adventure-comedy about a teenager who becomes sidekick to a superhero ends its five-year run with the series finale “The Fate of Danger: Part II,” in which Kid Danger and Captain Man (Jace Norman, Cooper Barnes) battle the villainous Drex (Tommy Walker) on top of a blimp to stop him from erasing Swellview’s memory of Captain Man. When the blimp aims straight for the Swellview Baby Hospital, one hero must stay behind to save the day. A spinoff, “Danger Force,” premieres on Friday.
8 PM ( FX) MOVIE The Great
est Showman Aussie filmmaker Michael Gracey made a very big splash with his feature directorial debut on this 2017 blockbuster, which overcame mixed reviews to become the fifth-highestgrossing live-action musical of all time. Critics mainly took issue with how much artistic license the movie took with the real-life saga of P.T. Barnum, played by Hugh Jackman, but audiences clearly were swept away by the sheer spectacle and engaging cast, which also includes Zac Efron, Michelle Williams and Zendaya. The song “This Is Me” was nominated for an Oscar. 8 PM ( HALL) When Calls the Heart In the new episode “An Unexpected Gift,” the whole community is abuzz when a mystery admirer leaves a bouquet of flowers on Elizabeth’s (Erin Krakow) doorstep. She suspects either Nathan (Kevin McGarry) or Lucas (Chris McNally) may be behind the mysterious delivery. Elsewhere, Rosemary and Lee (Pascale Hutton, Kavan Smith) organize bachelor and bachelorette parties for Jesse and Clara (Aren Buchholz, Eve Bourne). Jack Wagner and Martin Cummins also star.
10 PM * The Rookie Nolan’s (Nathan Fillion) day gets off to a notably bad start when he learns that his identity has been stolen, a frustrating turn of events that could jeopardize his position as a police officer in the new episode “Hand-Off.” Elsewhere, Sgt. Casey (Richard T. Jones) likewise finds himself painfully tested, as he is forced to confront his past and testify at the parole hearing of a man who shot Casey and murdered his partner. Brent Huff and Seth Green co-star.
