We've even got a holiday episode to look forward to on Abbott Elementary as the comedy will be honoring Mother's Day with a storyline that pairs Gregory and Barbara together since she's invited him to Mother's Day brunch with her family.

If you're looking for something less heartwarming and more heart racing, the procedurals have you covered. Will Trent has our titular hero dealing with flashbacks due to this week's case. Actually, more than one of these dramas will be giving us a look at the past. Thursdays going to be packed with plots all about what happened previously in characters lives. 9-1-1's Eddie has to unpack his feelings for someone in his past, Grey's Anatomy will see Simone struggling with painful memories, and Station 19 has Maya confronting her past as well.
