It starts with several scantily clad women, obviously at a party. A blond haired young man is getting a lot of attention from all the girls but one girl especially marks her territory. He kisses her then pours red wine into her mouth. Cut to a blood splattered carpet before eventually revealing a bloodied couple, beaten terribly in their own beds. The man is dead but the woman is still alive, barely. Mac questions the woman who is unable to speak. He is able to get her to identify their son as the attacker. Their son: the same blond haired man at the party.

Don is sent to the party to arrest the son, Billy Travers. Jo Danville interrogates him and he denies everything.

Welcome to what I hope is not one of our last episodes of Outlaw. I was saddened, but not overly surprised to learn this week that production of further episodes of the show was put on hiatus. The show is just getting trampled on by it’s timeslot and it’s airing on Friday nights. I’m just enjoying it and sharing that enjoyment with you all while I can!

Tonight we have a case about the responsibility of an auto manufacturer to their consumers; or lack thereof.

Welcome to another week of life with the Dubois family! This is a very intense episode. It’s hard to tell what’s a dream and what’s not or who’s doing the dreaming. But boy, is it a great show!

This is no dream, let’s get started. We are reminded about how Lee Scanlon let his brother get killed after Allison warned him it was going to happen.

Clark’s cousin Kara returns at the request of Jor-El, and this time she reveals her Supergirl persona to the world. But in a city that is bent on trashing these so-called heroes, is that the best idea? Isn’t that why secret identities are so important? With an evil darkness worse than anything they’ve faced before coming for them, Clark, Kara, and Oliver must find faith and trust in themselves before it’s too late.

Hello fans of the Runway!! This week we were teased with an accusation of cheating. Who said it, and is it true? Well, read on to find out.

The Morning After
The girls notice (well, mainly Gretchen) that the room is quieter without Valerie, whom Gretchen feels always talks about what is going on inside her head.

It’s difficult to solve a crime. From the beginning of the investigation to the court date, many things can go wrong. But what happens when you can’t prosecute the guilty party? When a diplomat is the main suspect in a series of attacks and rape the question becomes, how will he be brought to justice? Will the Reagan family find a way to prosecute this man within the system?

CASTIEL IS BACK. CASTIEL IS BACK! Oh and so is Dean (sans the bendy baggage).

If you haven’t watched this yet, please do not consume food beforehand. The three policemen who meet their unfortunate ends do so by extremely gross means. One liquefies into blood, one erupts in boils, and another has locusts eating themselves out of his brain.

Two Cents and Five Questions with Tina (Biggest Loser)

Tina, Reality Contestant

Tina made the fateful mistake of telling everyone that she wanted to go home, right after they saved her over another contestant who would have loved to still be there. Of course, she changed her mind by the time the elimination came around, but the damage was already done. I got to speak with Tina about this situation, plus the success of the “Pay It Forward” aspect of the show for her.

The Two Cents: Why you were having such a hard time at the ranch?

If you wanted more Amy Farrah Fowler, as I did, this episode will make you very happy. Mayim Bialik got nearly every zinger in this one, and there were too many great moments to count!

We open with “Shamy” playing a game they invented called Counterfactuals, where they ask each other hypothetical questions about alternate worlds (such as, In a world where rhinoceroses are pets, who would win World War II?). When Leonard can’t catch on to the random, convoluted logic of the answers, Amy insults his intelligence.

Who would have thought a ballpoint pen could cause a chain reaction resulting in several deaths? The Alt Fringe Division, that’s who. Complete with Fauxlivia (but really Olivia), Computer Astrid, Original Recipe Lincoln, Action Broyles, and several other colorful (if not-quite-right) characters.

Back to the ballpoint pen. A seemingly autistic man, after observing some patterns we can’t see, places said pen on a mailbox. A truck goes bay, the pen falls, a man stops to pick it up causing a bike messenger to crash into a fruit stand when a homeless person and the produce guy fight over the spilled food. A bus driver notices the fight and not the red light at the intersection where he hits and kills a woman.
