Oscar is nervous that Angela may have figured out that he’s having an affair with her husband. He thinks if Angela is cold and mean to him it’s business as usual. She asks Oscar if it’s cold in there and he thinks he’s in the clear. He does a talking head about how Angela doesn’t know because she’s got her head buried in the sand.

What Oscar doesn’t see is Angela watching him through the window behind his back, cutting him the evil eye.

Raj, Leonard, and Sheldon have an argument over lunch on whether or not zombies and mummies are the same thing. The consensus is that if a zombie bites you, you turn into a zombie but if I mummy bites you, you’re just a schmuck with a mummy bite.

Seems legit.

Listen up, dummies! Yup, the rumours are true – our Liz Lemon is finally taking the plunge and making it official with Criss. Liz is set on a no-nonsense, simple City Hall wedding but Jack tries to convince her to make it an event to remember. Plus, a ghost from Liz’s past returns with some of his own news. Beeper King, anyone?

Meanwhile, Tracy’s having a tough time picking a project for his new production company. Things get even more stressful when Dr. Spaceman tells him he’s completely healthy after his insurance physical. Yeah, you read that right.

Reality shows are always boasting that their elimination shows will be shocking, but this week The X Factor delivered on that promise. Big time.

Right away, Paige Thomas was given the boot. Really? I mean, she wasn’t going to win, but she gave one of her strongest performances this week. Unfortunately, it was the first one of the evening, which can be a serious vote killer.

I’ve suggested in multiple prior recaps that Chaplin should have executed Julian. In tonight’s episode, Julian once again proves to be a skillful creator of chaos. He is an evil “gift that keeps on giving,” whatever that may be. Let’s dive into the episode.

A ship is scheduled to arrive through the blockade. It will deliver food and allow the crew’s family members to visit. Crewmembers who want to leave the island will be allowed to leave with the ship. It’s a public relations stunt by the U.S. government, but Chaplin needs the food and the morale boost for his crew.
