On The CW, Dynasty (0.2, 710,000 viewers) held steady while Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (0.2, 410,000 viewers) was up a tenth week to week.

On NBC, Blindspot fell from the 0.5 it had scored a week ago to a 0.4 demo score and 2.59 million viewers this time around. Midnight, Texas (0.4, 2.05 million viewers) was steady once again for the network.

On FOX, Last Man Standing still won the night in the 18-49 demo but dropped from a 1.3 to a 1.1 and 5.95 million viewers. The Cool Kids (0.9, 4.39 million viewers) also lost a tenth week to week.
