Welcome back Bravermans! We have missed you! Our favorite television family left us for an insurmountably long time, only to return for just a handful of weeks before their season finale.

As of yet, there’s been no word on a season three, but to deny a quality show like this would be a crime against viewers! Tonight’s episode was true to form, quiet and understated, yet emotional and tugging on heart strings. Let’s see what the family is up to, shall we?

Week 2 Results

It’s the first results show of the season – time to bring back the scary red light and dramatic music. In case you’re new to my reviews, I can get a little snarky during the results show. I hate that they drag out a five second announcement for an hour.

After the first two weeks of dancing we’ve got Ralph Macchio at the top of the leader board and Wendy Williams and Mike Catherwood at the bottom. So who goes home? Read on to find out.

When is the right time to say “I love you?” Not when it’s the seventh episode of a new show, that’s for sure.

In the newest installment of the Connie and Larry Show, Connie gets a date (a real date, not a married guy or a guy that never shows up) while Larry watches on. Sad face.

And oh yah, at some point in time, all four friends are sharing one hotel room. Who shares a bed with who?

Elder vampires known as The Dutch have been in town reviewing Bishop’s operations in Boston and he believes they will kill him soon.

Man, do these Dutch like to stir up the mess. The Dutch also were involved in Josh missing a date. This week, we find out the Dutch’s intentions, as well as seeing how Josh deals with Nora and Sally gets a new visitor. Is there any peace of mind for the Dutch, Josh or any other monster in Boston this week?

What was up with tonight’s episode? Don’t get me wrong, it was good. But it seemed a little weird to me. It goes from love gone horribly wrong to the clients that Harry seems to get.

Once again Harry gets the clients that profess their guilt. A man has killed his best friend, a fellow lawyer. For what reason? For being called “brutish”. I don’t even understand why Harry put him on the stand as her last witness. He has already proclaimed his guilt. What else does she want? The judge puts murder 2 and manslaughter on the table as possibilities of lesser charges for the jury to consider, but Harry flat out refuses them. Crazy!

It’s my favorite week on DWTS. Week 2 is always quick step and jive – my two favorite dances. All the stars have returned from last week to compete before the first elimination of the season.

The score after the dances in my review are the total from this week and last week since both will be taken into account along with viewer votes for tomorrow’s elimination.

On the season premiere, big changes are again affecting the lives of the Gregson family…including a new Alter!

Buck sets the scene on his bike, stomping up to bang on the door of an unsuspecting man, whom he then threatens with a gun to the head. Buck asks if the man is Bryce Crane, son of Frank Crane, and while the man confirms his name, he not the background info. Buck calls himself “Justice”, pulls the trigger of the fortunately unloaded gun, and tells Bryce that he is dead. Buck never is one for subtleties.

It’s a civic responsibility to serve jury duty when called. And this week, Joe McUsic is doing his part for the justice system when unfortunately he drops dead. But with Castle and Beckett on the case I’m sure we’ll find out who the killer is… in the last few minutes of the hour.

Last week’s episode was so charming and so personal for the characters, that I’m not surprised that this week’s episode was a little more basic in its plotting and reveals. Let’s run down the case and suspects, shall we?
