Let me just start off by asking: Did you like this episode? If your answer was “yes”, I am glad to inform you that it was co-written by John Francis Daley (aka Sweets) and this was his first time writing an episode of Bones.

Another fun piece of information is that his real father played a role in episode also. R.F. Daley was the guy Bones interrupted while filming his show and she accused him of being a suspect. Oh what fun!

Where in the world is Tracy Jordan? If you got that Carmen Sandiego reference, pat yourself on the back. This episode has Liz and Kenneth asking themselves that very question and their only lead is a pizza box from a pizzeria in Queens. They know Tracy is hiding somewhere in New York but that doesn’t exactly narrow things down.

With TGS both approaching its 100th episode and teetering on the brink of cancellation, they need him now more than ever.

Top 8 Results

Everyone was wondering tonight: Would it be another shocking elimination? Despite rumors that Pia Toscano has already signed a recording deal, there were signs in the audience mentioning her tonight, such as “Bring Pia Back.”

Was tonight’s cut as surprising? Yes and no. The singer was someone I thought would have another couple of weeks, but not someone I thought would win.

Parks and Recreation
Fancy Party

Remember how excited Parks and Rec fans were when Andy and April finally got together after a season long “will they-won’t they?” This episode marks a huge development in their relationship and a lot of viewers will be shocked with the direction they’re headed in. Actually, “huge” is probably an understatement. I’m happily surprised the show was able to keep this big event under wraps for the most part, but it ended up making for a very sweet episode; chock full of fan favourites from last season.

To celebrate their one month anniversary, Andy and April have decided to throw a dinner party and invite everyone in the parks department, complete with individual party tasks on the invitations (Donna: cooked steaks, Ben: 50 pairs of 3D glasses and a 3D capable TV).

Michael is at a bar drinking a Kahlua Sombrero. Nice manly drink, there. He starts chatting with a guy (Will Ferrell) and they totally hit it off. Michael is waiting for someone at the bar and he calls him on his cell phone. The guy was talking to (Deangelo Vickers) is the guy he’s meeting so they talk to each other on their respective cell phones from across the room for a minute before they figure out they’re meeting each other.

They have some drinks and go up to the office and run around tipsily. Cute.
