Farrah is off watching cars turn left at a very rapid pace, so I’m here to fill in for all you Blue Blood fans out there. All I can say – isn’t strange how much we all love a show starring Magnum P.I., a New Kid on the Block and the young guy from that too soon canceled show called Reunion?

Anyway – off to this week where the whole episode starts in a debutante ball that looks like something out of Gossip Girl – away we go!

Welcome back for part two of the continuing sagas at Degrassi Community School. Tonight’s main players, for your entertainment/concern/befuddlement are Alli, Drew, Bianca, Zane, Riley, and Riley’s mom. Tonight’s themes are redemption, drugs, and coming out.

We’ve got three story arcs tonight, but oddly enough none of them feel truly resolved after this half hour. So it only remains to see where the show takes these characters this season, but for now, let’s see where they took us tonight…

The episode starts from the point of view of a hostage, with a bag over his head, his vision limited. We overhear a disembodied female voice, yelling at a guy for using a taser on the hostage’s neck. We see the gun pointed at the hostage as he is forced out of the vehicle and to kneel on the filthy floor, his hands still tied behind his back.

The couple drive off and the victim cuts himself free using a metal pole. The man removes the sack over his head: It’s Mac Taylor.

What do a lemur, an armored car, and Oliver Queen in drag have in common? They are all a part of the wackiest episode of Smallville yet! When the gang drinks magical champagne they wake up to discover they have no memories of the night before.

When they get into some trouble with a bad casino owner they must follow the clues to find out what happened last night.

This episode was for the fans. It references a whole lot of stuff people who aren’t devoted to the show will miss (J-squared, Misha’s addiction to Twitter, how Bobby got his name). It is also a thoroughly and unapologetically meta show. Meta, meta, meta, meta and did I mention meta? The plot was just an excuse for the writers to poke fun at the series. I have to say that people have been building up this episode and in some ways it delivered, and in other ways it really didn’t.

Was this an epic fail? Read on after the jump to find out!

Meredith Grey is stubborn, we all know that. And she doesn’t ask for help easily… also a well known fact. Besides that, doctors are known to be the worst patients themselves. Again, Meredith proves that fact to be true.

She’s still on the fertility drugs for her hostile uterus hoping she will eventually get pregnant. However, one of the side effects is loss of sight, and Meredith is struggling to read the fine print. At first she has a hard time reading the drawings of the dream house that Derek is building for them. She claims that she just doesn’t care enough to read them but later on she’s also struggling to read the time on her watch.

EVERY Thursday night for the last 8 years, the boys have joined at Sheldon and Leonard’s apartment to break bread, and share laughter, and it was good. Until one Thursday night… everything changed. *crash of thunder*

Leonard decides to go over to Raj’s apartment to have dinner with him, Priya, and Raj. Sheldon is flummoxed by this turn of events, insisting that changing their routine makes about as much sense as removing the letter ‘m’ from their speech. Which is just oronic adness!

Jeff and Annie learn just how ugly politics can get when they compete for the heretofore-nonexistent presidency of Greendale Community College.

Dean Pelton provides our study group with a welcome distraction by announcing that Vice-President Biden is passing through town on some sort of “hooray for education” tour. At 5:00pm he will be stopping by Greendale, at which he will shake the hand of the school’s student body president. Which is all fine and dandy, except Greendale disbanded its student government about a decade ago.

We join the team plus LaRoach in media res, questioning a lady who had seen “the suspect” on her way back in from lunch. Suspect for what, we don’t know, but she was headed up the stairs to the roof — oh, but wait, Jane also works up there, doesn’t he? Lisbon leads the charge upstairs, where the door to Jane’s perch is locked. When he comes out, he is on the business end of a shotgun, with Madeline Hightower at the other end.

[Record scratch.] Wait. What? Hold that thought, let’s go back thirty-six hours.

It’s a night of exes and oh’s (as in “oh em gee!”) tonight, as Operation Kill Klaus gets sidetracked by an epic inferno. Damon and Stefan deal with their saucy minx of a mutual ex, Katherine. Caroline tries to woo her own ex with song. And Jenna allows something silly like a maybe-dead ex-wife get in the way of reuniting with Mystic Falls’ most eligible (human) bachelor.
