The Blacklist - Cape May

In the calm before the storm, Reddington (James Spader) disappears following Lizzie‘s (Megan Boone) death. After a week in an opium den (making him a less-than-reliable protagonist) the FBI’s most useful confidential informant makes his way to Cape May where he struggles to separate his current situation from the events of his last visit decades before. The appearance of a suicidal woman (Lotte Verbeek) who Red saves from drowning herself in the ocean with an army of masked assassins after her gives Reddington a momentary reprieve from his grief.

The Big Bang Theory - The Viewing Party Combustion

For an episode centering around the group gathering together to watch Game of Thrones “The Viewing Party Combustion” has little to do with the HBO series. The viewing party is basically just an excuse to gather the group together as small fights, beginning with Leonard‘s (Johnny Galecki) railing at Sheldon (Jim Parsons) for another stipulation in the roommate agreement, break them into two separate factions.

The Flash - Versus Zoom

In an episode that begins with a flashback to Earth-2, “Versus Zoom” gives us darker version of the origins of Barry (Grant Gustin) as we witness the tragedy of Hunter Zolomon’s childhood which would lead him down the path to taking on the personas of both Jay Garrick and Zoom (Teddy Sears). Opening with a sequence that helps explain Barry’s short stint on Supergirl, the episode is mainly concerned with the Flash and his friends setting another trap for Zoom which, to absolutely no one’s surprise, goes wrong.

Castle - Backstabber

The recent news that Stana Katic will be leaving the show at the end of the season means should Castle be renewed for another year it’s likely future episodes will look more like “Backstabber” in which Hayley (Toks Olagundoye) gets herself into a jam and relies on the help of Castle (Nathan Fillion), Alexis (Molly C. Quinn), and their friends at the NYPD. After being used by a former friend and colleague for a less-than-legal break-in, Hayley finds herself in the middle of a murder as her past as a spy catches up with her.

Lucifer - #TeamLucifer

Lucifer (Tom Ellis) is having far less fun than usual in the penultimate episode of the show’s First Season. Still unclear as to how Chloe (Lauren German) is affecting his immortality, the devil attempts to put some distance between himself and his favorite police officer. His plan is fouled up by a group of devil worshipers who perform a live sacrifice. Increasingly angered at every aspect of the case, including humanity’s view of him as a wicked goat-creature, Lucifer’s temper gets the better of him more than once, eventually getting him sent home where he has to deal with his angry brother who has a few words for Lucifer about Maze‘s (Lesley-Ann Brandt) attempts to seduce and kill him.
