This is a crazy episode. We have several different things going on this week. Zombies, guns, ax-canes, musical numbers, peeing blood. Ok, well the pee isn’t all that weird but the rest of it is pretty freaking awesome.

Cuddy’s alarm goes off at 6:30. She reaches over for House and calls his name but he’s nowhere in sight. He grabs her ankle because he’s hiding under the bed. They start making out and Cuddy stops the train to hit the loo. There’s blood in her urine. Cuddy’s the patient this week along with a teenage boy who suddenly started puking blood.

#1 Tuesday, March 8 – 9:00PM ET – BBC – Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares
I’m not gonna lie, I love me some Gordon Ramsay. He’s delightfully crude and vulgar but you can’t deny the man is a hard worker. He also seems to have a really clear idea of what he’s doing. I love watching him go into a failing restaurant and making it profitable again. This particular restaurant, The Granary, is losing 8K a day. Wowza!

Last week, Josh spent time at his parents’ home to hide his sister. He could best sum up the experience by saying, “Veni, vidi…wait, what’s Latin for ‘I escaped with little damage’?”

This week, we focus on Josh’s attempt to make a human connection with Nora, a doctor he’s been pining over the past few episodes. Will he be able to establish a normal relationship with a human? What could possibly go wrong with a full moon coming?

Have you ever wondered what happens to some of your favorite The Amazing Race contestants after they leave the show? We get to find all that out – and more – with tonight’s episode (and this season in general).

Christina gives us a bit of information on who she’s engaged to in this episode, there’s lots of mud slinging (literally), and Zev still can’t be hugged (no matter who it’s from). With that, I give you …

A little recap for those of us who couldn’t remember what happened two weeks ago (me!). Porter and Preston have moved out of the Scavo house. Gaby got closure from her abusive past. Susan collapsed while out to lunch with Renee. Finally, Keith has moved to Florida, leaving Bree single and alone.

This week, its back to selfish Gaby, pushy Bree and Susan the walking disaster. Ah, good times on Wisteria Lane.

Welcome back to Walker-land, home of wine, cupcakes, traumatic nightmares, school dances, and GeckoTown! And the return of Kitty!

It’s been a couple of weeks since we last checked in with our favorite dysfunctional family. Last we saw Justin had taken in homeless war vet Zack, Kitty was still in Washington D.C., and Kevin and Scotty were in the process of adopting precocious Olivia. Let’s see what shenanigans the Walkers were up to this week, shall we?
