A registered sex offender moves into the neighborhood, and the parole officer gives a way to Bridget when she’s getting the paper. Research shows that Clark raped a teenage student ten years ago, and Joe and Allison are panicked.

A neighbor calls a meeting and invites Joe and Allison to it, and everyone around is upset. Allison talks to Clark’s parole officer, and isn’t really assured. The team goes to Clark’s house because a rock was thrown into his window.

Well, Degrassi fans, here we are at part two of our fall season finale. No more Degrassi until 2011. How will be able to stand the wait? And did this episode deliver or were you left wanting more?

When we last left our favorite Canadian high schoolers: Adam was planning to throw a secret party with Eli and Claire in hopes of impressing Fiona, KC realized he wanted Jenna back, Jenna was determined to woo Sav from Holly J, and Wes was afraid of … well… um…. showing what he was made of a little too early to Anya. How would our stories resolve themselves? Keep reading to find out…

Blue Bloods – Recap & Review – Re-Do

Blue Bloods
Re-Do

Original Air Date: Nov 19, 2010

Farrah Kaye – Sr. Editor

Every week, Blue Bloods continues to impress me with their storylines, character development, intertwining of characters and accuracy of events that are realistic (that don’t come from headlines, gah). This week was no exception (to tell you how real this week was, I literally jumped out of my chair a few times and had to watch Nick At Nite for an hour before I went to bed).

This week will test everyone when prisoners are released due to bad DNA tests in an under-funded city lab. Erin and Danny are especially close to one of the cases, a horrific man named Reed, who built up a fan club while in prison. Now on the job, Jamie will have to deal with some of the prisoners wanting to return to their old lives, which they can’t thanks to restraining orders. He’s also still busy dealing with the whole Blue Templars deal and figuring out who killed his brother.

The Vigilante Registration Act, what will happen when a hero signs it? With the help of old friend, Clark and Oliver race against time, and the Government to answer this very question. Meanwhile, Lois begins feeling left out of the superhero team but when two of the heroes are captured and tortured, everyone will come together to save their friends before it is too late.

Fort Ryan Kansas, General Slade Wilson is meeting with other Military officials about the threats from the so-called Heroes and is closely targeting the works of the Justice League. The VRA (Vigilante Registration Act) is being strongly supported by the Military and even the President. Of course nobody has signed the Act yet, no surprise there.

Justified

The previous episode introduced the case of Roni Parker, a woman who had been buried in Central Park fifteen years ago. She is also the sister of Ted Carver, the Chief of Manhattan Detectives. During last week’s episode, Mac and Danny tracked down the location of a woman who had been using Roni Parker’s identity since her death. It was assumed she was the killer.

However, this episode begins with her brutal murder and she’s instantly portrayed as a victim. So what is the story? And just what is ‘Justified’?

Clap Your Hands If You Believe…

If there is one show that nails pop culture humour, it’s this one. From the mock X-Files opening to the very end, this one had everyone rolling with laughter while also throwing in a few mythology curveballs, and setting up a Sam/Dean heart-to-heart that was both amusing and entirely too revealing.

Read on after the jump if you believe!

This week on Outsourced, Rajiv goes a little crazy, Todd has family troubles and Charlie terrorizes Gupta. Oh, and there’s a Monsoon! What could go wrong?

Todd is encouraging his staff to push the Thanksgiving novelties. He tries to explain the whole Pilgrim & Indians thing to them, but some of the story is lost in translation. Especially when he explained that Native Americans find the name “Indians” derogatory.
