You might note the title of the episode and realize that Valentine’s Day was a good two weeks ago. Then again, considering the (totally original and not at all related to anything in real life) plotline, I’m not sure it would have fit a day of romance anyway.

Misha and Caleb are two young musical artists in a relationship and making a video together. They seem perfectly happy until Caleb overreacts to a situation with another woman and beats and chokes her in a fit of rage.

Things deteriorate further for Shamar this week. Partly, he’s to blame for his own situation. He yells a lot and at a lot of people. People do work to provoke him, of course, because it’s in their interests. It gets to the point where, during Tribal Council, it feels really uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Malcolm makes a sub-alliance and his sub-alliance might be in trouble, in part because she’s talking a lot with Malcolm.

This week’s PLL picks up right where we left off last week – Spencer straight out of the sinister sauna, and Aria and Emily rushing to her side to hear what she has to say about A. While Aria and Emily are trying to reason and logic their way through Toby’s betrayal, Spencer is finally coming to terms with who Toby really is. However, by the episode’s end, Spencer can’t come to terms with Toby’s fate and she finds herself in Radley without the help of even a fake ID badge.

Hanna and Ashley are still fretting over their search for Wilden. Ashley is ready to come clean, but Hanna is putting her lessons in Lies and Deception 101 to good use. Hanna promises not to say anything to anyone about Ashley’s incident, and the two freeze and sirens and lights go rushing by the house.

Two men are debating how much to charge their drain cleaning services to a desperate woman, when all of a sudden a bloody Lieutenant Gordon Roth stumbles down the street and straight into the van, before chugging a bottle of drain cleaner, killing himself.

Ducky and Jimmy pick up Roth’s body, but on the long way back to NCIS they get a flat tire. Ducky examines the tire and finds a bullet. Then their van is high-jacked and they are kidnapped at gunpoint and taken to a remote hunting cabin! Now that’s what I call a bad day at the office.

Happy TinFinity, fellow loft trolls! Nick and Schmidt have been living together for ten years now, and they’re throwing an anniversary party to celebrate their enduring friendship/ wonder what went wrong in their lives. Here’s Jess with your nightly science lesson: tin’s chemical symbol is Sn! This party is now ten times more important. Time for Schmidt to send a strongly-worded email to his florist. When Nick offers to help plan the “masculine garden party”—not because he actually wants to help, but because he wants to feel trusted—he winds up stuck with balloons and Porta Potties. Hopefully not at the same time.

Here we go with week eight of Justified. We are still waiting to find out who Drew Thompson is. There is still a lot that is unsettled with Raylan. He seems to be on a strange path at the moment and I cannot really tell where he is heading. With everything that has been going on with him, I am just waiting to find out what is going to go wrong next.

Boyd is having issues as well. When he was attempting to hunt down Drew Thompson, he was asked to kill one of the guys that is in the way of the rich folk that live up in Clover hill. Ava is still fairly concerned about what is going on with and knows that something is going wrong at the moment. Also now that Johnny knows that Ellen Mae is still alive, what is he going to do with that information? Lets see what happens this week.
