ABC has decided to double up on episodes of Happy Endings for the rest of the season, and while I know it’s totally the network burning the show off, I’m happy that we get to see 2 episodes of this fantastic show every week. In this week’s first episode, which I would call a season best, the gang tricks Max into thinking he won the lottery. After Max finds out he didn’t win, he vows revenge on the gang.

In this week’s second episode, Penny & Pete celebrate their engagement. When it comes to how they’re getting married, Penny sees a big wedding, but Pete wants to get eloped. Jane plans on taking Pete down to a Valentine’s Day weekend wedding expo to change his mind. Read on for this week’s double recap!

Pretty Little Liars
Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Inferno

This week’s PLL just might rank as one of my top three episodes in the series thus far. I actually forgot for a while that I was watching an extremely far-fetched show about high school girls who are getting the crap scared out of them by super-texters in black hoodies.

Not only did we see the return of several minor characters (like, you know, the Liars’ parents), we also got tons of drama and tears, a few very surprising twists in the mystery of the show, and some real and raw moments from the girls themselves. If last week’s episode was over-hyped, this week’s aftermath really delivered. Dante may have nine circles of hell, but read on for five reasons Inferno was pure heaven.

Welcome to another exhilarating week of Justified. This is going to be interesting to see what happens in Harlan now with the fact that Billy has been poisoned because of Boyd. There is still the issue of what is going to happen to Boyd now that Johnny has betrayed him to Wynn Duffy. A lot needs to be sorted out still.

Raylan also is not doing to well at the moment. At the end of the last week he finds out that his girlfriend is still in cahoots with her ex husband. She goes into Raylan’s room and trashes it while looking for the money that was in his room. She takes everything and then runs off. What will happen? We really have no idea.
