While Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) and Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) do some training/bonding at a carnival testing out Lizzie’s control of her new powers, and MG (Quincy Fouse) and Kaleb (Chris Lee) head out looking for the missing Ethan (Leo Howard), and Aurora de Martel (Rebecca Breeds) arrives at the Salvatore School taking the place of its new headmistress and looking for inspiration on how to kill a tribrid. The Hope/Lizzie storyline creates a new kind of bond between the pair while killing off the vampires in charge of the carnival who have been picking off innocents for fun. While not necessarily friends again, the pair are more than just a vampire and the compulsion of those they have sired.

Dragons: The Nine Realms – Dragon Club

  • Title: Dragons: The Nine Realms – Dragon Club
  • wiki: link

“Dragon Club” plays out largely like the second episode as another kid from the ICARIS research station is introduced to the hidden world of dragons, and saves and befriends a dragon of their own. This time it’s the reluctant D’Angelo (Marcus Scribner) who is dragged into Dragon Club (complete with an overt reference to Fight Club… for a kids show?) in order to help an injured Gembreaker dragon he will call his own by the end of the episode. The adults remain clueless as to what is going on, although Alex (Aimee Garcia) does make a discovery suggesting she will be the next introduced to Dragon Club.

Wolf Like Me – Episode 3

  • Title: Wolf Like Me – Episode 3
  • IMDb: link

You have to hand it to Gary (Josh Gad), all things considered, he holds it together fairly well when presented with the unbelievable facts that the odd woman who keeps crashing into his life (apparently through no fault of her own) is a werewolf. Gad is great here, is mostly in reaction mode, as Gary struggles to hold it together while listening to Mary’s (Isla Fisher) story and then races out of her life as quickly as possible. And of course Mary is in the odd position to have to reveal far more about herself than she ever planned after two dates in a relationship that seems doomed before it ever gets started.

The games, and stories, continue in the second episode of NBC’s The Endgame. For stories, we get the almost-wedding of Elena Federova (Morena Baccarin) and death of FBI Agent Val Fitzgerald’s (Ryan Michelle Bathe) mother. For games, Federova’s men kidnap the Secretary of Homeland Security’s son and use evidence from one of the banks to expose her corruption. The show continues the trend of Federova being three-steps ahead of everyone else including Fitzgerald who learns of another connection between the criminal mastermind and her incarcerated husband but still doesn’t know what it means.
