In this week’s episode a million dollar lottery winner winds up dead in his apartment and the evidence trail is littered with hundred dollar bills and a string of likely suspects.

In order to solve the case Castle and Beckett must sort through a motley group of possible perpetrators, spend a little time undercover and ask themselves what they would do with a million dollars and what would drive someone to kill for it?

A nausea inducing overhead scenery shot brings us to a remote cabin, where a US Marshall and his witness have been hiding out. The cops are there to take them to court, but the cops are bad guys (there are bullet holes in the back of the uniform) and they kill the Marshall and go after the girl. She prepares to fight back but I doubt she’s successful.

Chin has introduced Danny to Pogo Puffs, some kind of amazing pastry puff that Danny is now in love with. McGarrett tells the team about the recovery mission for the witness, Julie. Danny and Rachel are avoiding each other but she gets car jacked while leaving him a message.

Mike and Molly are going to Mrs. Bigg’s house for dinner. Of course Mike is distracted by his video game and Molly is anxious to be on time so they can pretend to enjoy themselves. It’s great to see how much they’ve fallen into a rhythm with each other. After dinner, Mom drops the bomb that she’s having surgery on Tuesday to remove her gallbladder. She is so difficult!

She is somewhat convinced she’s going to die and is talking about caskets and DNR orders. In all this talk about graves, Mom mentions that Mike’s dad’s plot is his if he wants it. And Mike just blurts out that he’ll probably be buried next to Molly. To which Molly goes “What?!”

Hey Chucksters, I am filling in for Jeff this week but I will try and not steer too far off the usual path of things, ok? As you remember last week, we ended the show with Chuck seizing the moment and proposing to Sarah in the hospital hallway as his sister gives birth to baby Awesome. Well, this week we get a peek at just how their lives have changed.

Two Cents & Five Questions with Tiffani Thiessen (White Collar)

Tiffani Thiessen, Actor

Many of you probably remember Tiffani as Kelly Kapowski on Saved By The Bell or Valerie Malone on the original Beverly Hills, 90210. But these days she is doing double duty as Elizabeth Burke on White Collar and Mommy to new daughter, Harper.

TheTwoCents: In what ways are you most like Elizabeth?

Two Cents & Five Questions with Lucas Neff & Greg Garcia (Raising Hope)

Lucas Neff, Actor
Greg Garcia, Producer

Raising Hope, in my opinion, is the funniest show on TV right now. It is the ONLY show that makes me laugh out loud at my television. I love the relationships in it and I think it’s great. I got to speak to Greg Garcia, the show creator and producer and Lucas Neff who is “Jimmy” on the show.

TheTwoCents: Do you think that we laugh at the same things, though, when we’re watching an affluent family versus a blue-collar family? Are we laughing at the same stuff, do you think?

Cuddy, her sister, and their mom (Candice Bergen) go shopping. Mom takes time out from calling her daughter an out of season Italian hooker to have some heart issues. They take her to the hospital. Mama Cuddy is just a charming lady, isn’t she?

House and the team watch TV down in the morgue. He’s hiding from Cuddy who wants him to be her mother’s doctor. House doesn’t want to but Cuddy talks him into it. He even wears the white coat. House sends Taub and Masters to check the home for toxins and Cuddy’s high school yearbook. They find some nakie photos of Cuddy’s mom and some kind of drugs. Whoa, you can’t unsee that, now can you?

Hey all. Snarky Queen here while Meg is off bringing peace to the world. She’s got the easy task this week!

This week, our zip coders have to deal with more of Ade’s fallout (and ego), Naomi and her higher power, Teddy’s secret, Ivy’s fear of surfing, crazy Emily and Navid and Silver sneaking around. You know some craziness is going to go down in the 90210.

Two Cents & Five Questions with Jane Lynch

lynch opens up

… Jane Lynch, actress (Glee)

 

Jane Lynch has been in the television/movie business for quite a while. She currently is earning awards for her role as Sue Sylvester, the evil cheerleading coach, one-line queen on Glee.

The Glee post-Superbowl episode, “The Sue Sylvester Bowl Shuffle,” paid homage to the craziness that is her character (she wanted to have one of her cheerleaders be blown out of a human cannon). But what is Lynch like outside of the show? She opened up to a roundtable of reporters on topics such as being a role model, what her favorite romantic movie is, and who her first crush was.

Enjoy!

The Two Cents: Since you grew up watching the Carol Burnett Show, in what ways have you seen how Sue in Glee influencing young women today like she influenced you?

It’s been a few weeks without Two and a Half Men yet it’s been in the news more than ever. Charlie Sheen’s real life has gotten crazier than ever. I’m not even sure what’s real and what’s not anymore.

What I do know is that Charlie – both the actor and the character – are beginning to look horrible. So this week, we get a lot of Alan, Rose, Jake, Judith, Herb, Berta and even the pizza guy to keep us distracted from what’s really going on in front of us.
