What did you watch?

 Long workday, so, again, just a soap:
 soaps: GH - Tues' ep. Josslyn and Dex arrive at the waterfront (to look for Sonny) just as Jason leaves watching over Dante, and take over keeping Dante alive until the paramedics arrive. Also, I think Jason may have been shot too, though so far only Dante has seen him and knows he's alive. Jagger lays out Sonny's sordid history with Karen Wexler for Anna and Ava, who aren't impressed (because they're assholes!). Later, Sonny, and separately Olivia and Sam, are told Dante's been shot. Meanwhile, Heather Webber temporarily escapes (again!) to menace Cyrus and threaten him with death! but Laura stops her with a conk to the head; then, Heather keels over, seemingly for real!
 Later, I actually got the Spectrum app on my bedroom TV working for a while, and left LMN (which was showing "Kidnapping in the Grand Canyon") on in the background. But I think it was starting fail again just as I went to bed...
 

When I first read that I thought you meant LMN was showing a series of movies where people were kidnapped in the Grand Canyon. I wouldn't put it past them turning that into its' own genre.
I watched:
The Equalizer - "Blind Justice" - I really did not follow the plot of this one!  All I got was a mustach twirling villain (I"m pretty sure an actor from "Oz" but I forget his name) murdered a guy for reasons.  And Krondon (Tobias Whale from Black Lightning) was mixed up in it somehow. I also noticed that Krondon's character in this episode was blind and he's also playing a blind character on Halo.  It made me start to wonder if he went blind in real life or not.  But I couldn't find anything online about it.
Shōgun (FX) - "Tomorrow is Tomorrow" - Episode 3.  Lots happened.  Just don't ask me what.  I am enjoying the show, but I really struggle to follow what's happening.  The odd thing is I headed over to Wiki and read some really long episode recaps and everything in the recap I knew.   I guess the issue isn't I'm not following the overall plot structure. I'm following that fine.  It's the little things like character names and what side they are on.  So in any given scene unless it's one of the three main leads I rarely know what's going on.  Every time there is a fight scene I never know which side(s) is fighting or who won at the end.  Yet I'm still following the show well enough that there was nothing in the Wiki recaps that I didn't already know.  And thanks to the wiki article I learned that they are doing recaps at the end of the episode to explain to the audience what just happened.  I caught the one at the end of the third and it was basically a recap of the first three episodes only in English.
Survivor - "Scorpio Energy" - This was only notable for a wild tribal counsel where one of the said out loud who do I vote for.  He was begging them to tell him what to do.  I'm not doing it justice but withing the context of the episode it was something.
