Last week was all about juggling work life with home life. This week it’s all about work out of the office when Marshall makes a big mistake and loses one of his witnesses. How does that happen you may ask?

Well first, let’s meet Eddie Fredericks (Alimi Ballard). Two days ago in St. Louis he was caught for impersonating an FBI Agent, but that’s only the beginning.

The Murder of One.  Wherein THE PLOT FINALLY THICKENS.  And if that’s not enough to excite you get yourself tested for humanity.

Damon is being all sketchy in Alaric’s doorway as Elena tries to intrude on Ric’s morning.  It turns out that the boys and Ric are sharpening their pitchforks (so to speak) so they can go on an Original killing spree.  Stefan and Damon have no respect for anybody else’s autonomy which they demonstrate by forcing Alaric’s ring back on his finger after shutting down his plan to turn himself in to the sheriff.

The Hunters are coming, and this time they’re using magic in a whole new, really scary way. And they’re not just targeting the Chance Harbor Circle, or a few witches here and there, but every witch everywhere!

So what sort of power could make even the great John Blackwell fearful?

Subway opens in the Greendale cafeteria and Shirley and Pierce are trying to find a way to take it down because it should have been their sandwichery in its place in the cafeterium. The Greendale bylaws state that any corporate owned entity on campus must be 51% controlled by a student. Dean Pelton introduces them to Subway the student. The corpo-humanoid representing the company.

Jeff doesn’t know he has a locker all this time so he goes to check it. There’s a hate letter in there from Kim. Jeff asks around about Kim and he finds out that she died two weeks ago.

American Idol
Top 9 Results

Voters faced a tough choice this week after so many contestants turned in great performances on “songs of their idols.” But a choice they did make.

Ryan didn’t try to draw out the suspense too much. First, Nicki Minaj performed “Starships,” a song with perhaps the lamest rhyme scheme of all time.

The Shower Principle

After an eye-opening meeting with her tax accountant, Liz barges into Jack’s office with the fair concern that she’s stuck in a permanent rut. Judging from having seen her wear the same cardigan to her tax meetings for the past three years, it’s no surprise that the consensus is a resounding “yes.”

To help Liz with her troubles, Jack introduces her to the “shower principle;” the scientific belief that the brain can experience moments of inspiration when it’s distracted from the problem at hand. Usually, these bouts of inspiration occur in the shower.

Can this method make things different for Liz Lemon this year?

Gyahhh!! College basketball took away my POI for almost a month! I wouldn’t have minded so much if my bracket wasn’t f**ked after the first weekend.

So when we last left our heroes, Reese saved a cute baby (good thing!) but in the process gave up one of Carter’s witnesses to crime wunderkind Elias (bad thing!). And of course that witness happened to be Elias’ own illegitimate father (terrible thing!). As a result, this week Carter is not taking any of Reese’s calls – so we get an extra helping of Fusco, of which I totally approve.

As the title indicates, this week’s episode involves not one, but TWO potential persons of interest. I say potential because one of them is the identity thief and the other one is the goat. While this week’s episode takes a break from our Elias-Carter-Reese triangle, there’s some interesting stuff worth exploring and enjoying, and if you click the link below we’ll get to all of it!

Letting Go

Parents know a lot about letting go. The older your child gets, the more emotional it can be. Now, Amy’s still very young, but Reagan’s a bit paranoid about letting her be independent, so this case counts, too.

It’s not just all about kids, though. Ava has a wealth of issues with a new puppy, and Chris finds he must let go of a part of his own life. Specifically, the part where he was young enough to play full-contact hockey.

Scavenger Hunt

Whew! It’s about damn time this show finally came back on the air. Jeff, Audrey, Jenn , Adam and maybe (just a little bit)Russ…I have missed you so much! I was glad to see Jeff was up to his usual antics and getting Audrey’s tail feathers all ruffled. This time he walks out in the middle of game night, at Liz’s (can you blame him) and goes back to the apartment. Audrey is furious and tells him he is not fun anymore. But to make things worse…Jeff takes one of Adam’s suggestions, which leads to more anger.

Jeff decides he is going to make more of an effort to be fun and decides to give Audrey a scavenger hunt, which was Adam’s suggestion. Now you know as well as I do, that when you take one of Adam’s suggestion, stir in Jeff, you end up with a baked disaster!
