This week, Haley gets back into teaching—sort of, Jamie learns about Keith, Skills and Mouth go on a road trip and Brooke gets a big offer from Julian. It starts out with Lucas, Nathan and Jamie are playing on River Court. Jamie tells them he feels bad he never met Keith. They decide to take him to Keith’s shop and everyone has a good time. Jamie compares Lucas to Keith, which stuns Lucas for a minute. At the end of the day, Jamie asks if he’s still allowed to miss his grandpa Dan and Lucas says yes.

Once again, only one singer really stood out — and it wasn’t Adam Lambert this time. Last to perform in the “pimp spot,” Kris Allen not only played piano instead of his usual guitar, but also recrafted a song in a way that made it totally new.

Nothing is what it seems to be, not even one of the highest ranking criminals Siravo on the NCIS most wanted wall is what he really seemed to be. For years NCIS has been chasing after him but without much luck. The team finds that out the hard way, when they find Siravo. There is a shoot out at an abandoned construction site, two men end up dead while the third makes it look like they shot each other. He then picks up his phone and calls in a favor with Gibbs.

What makes a person, nature or nurture? Let’s explore the old question Reaper style with demons and zombies!

The “zombie” would be Mr. Oliver. He’s not quite dead or alive because of the deal with the Devil that made Sam a reaper, but he does need to keep cool in a freezer when he’s not out and about. Devil Daddy doesn’t see why Sam’s so bummed out for him and figures he shouldn’t care because human daddy ruined his life before he was born. Gradually Sam starts seeing his situation the Devil’s way. Mr. Oliver is popping in unannounced to hang out with his ol’ boy, then getting on his case for neglecting family. Nice try, but the Devil’s Sam’s real father, not him, much as that sucks. Sam feels no obligation to listen and entertain his other “father.”

How long has it been since you’ve gone TP-ing? Yeah… me, too. When is the last time you went to a rave? Huh. Well, Barney attempts to complete a whole list of things in a similar vain in 24 hours. And it is legen… wait for it… dary.

All I need to know in life, I learned from ER.

Robert Romano taught me to beware of Helicopter Revenge. Once you piss one off, it will be out to get you forever.

Kerri Weaver taught me that lesbian adoptions are not simple, especially when you loose your life-partner to a fire and then have to fight her family for the right to keep the baby.

Abby Lockhart taught me that it’s possible to go from being a nurse to a doctor, all while having a drinking problem.

Entertainment Weekly’s guru of gossip, Ausiello, has reported today that what we all feared has happened. Steve Carell seems to be on the way out of The Office.

“NBC sources are confirming to me that Mr. 40-Year-Old Virgin, has opted out of the rest of his contract with the show. The source also mentions that we have already met his replacement. Andy Buckley, who plays CFO David Wallace has had more of a presence on the show because it was apparently a test to see how audiences reacted to him.”

So it’s a normal day at CBI. Our heroes wait patiently in the security line to get into their offices, whispering about the people ahead of them, when a guy pulls in a bag of potatoes for the police. And when I say potatoes, of course I mean a dead body. There’s a reason for the confusion, though. The man, Carl Reznick, is convinced that the bag is full of potatoes and nothing will persuade him otherwise. Using certain cues — dilated pupils, steady heartbeat — Jane quickly deduces that he has been hypnotized. Awesome.

Lucy and Carter getting stabbed was one of the best scenes — so amazing and unexpected. I especially like how they’ve tied that event back in with Carter’s transplant surgery this final season.

But the best part of “ER” was its amazing guest starring roles. Sally Field, Bob Newhart, Red Buttons, Alan Alda, Ed Asner, Djimon Hounsou, Stanley Tucci, Don Cheadle — the list goes on and on. It was today’s “The Love Boat” of dramas.
