Galavant - The One True King (To Unite Them All)

Coming to a more definitive close that last season’s cliffhanger ending, Galavant‘s season finale finds a way to give every character their own moment in the sun this time around including Sid (Luke Youngblood) who arrives with a host of extras to help his friends fight off Madalena‘s (Mallory Jansen) zombie horde. That doesn’t mean that the show doesn’t tease us with what Season Three might hold (sign me up!), but if “The One True King (To Unite Them All)” is the show’s finale it’s a fitting one that let’s the show ride off unknown on a high note.

The Shannara Chronicles - Pykon

The company’s quest to reach the Wilderun leads Wil (Austin Butler), Amberle (Poppy Drayton), Eretria (Ivana Baquero), Cephelo (James Remar), and the remaining canon-fodder extras into the mountains to the (mostly) abandoned Elven fortress of Pykon. Here they will encounter a single caretaker and his daughter who offer shelter from the storm but have far more notorious plans for the travelers. I am growing a bit concerned with The Lord of the Rings-style wanderings of our group as their goal of reaching the Bloodfire seems further from them with each weekly adventure than closer to a conclusion.

Supergirl - Bizarro

Melissa Benoist does double duty her as both Supergirl and Maxwell Lord‘s (Peter Facinelli) pet science experiment in an evil doppelganger of National City’s savior Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) decides to name Bizarro. If there were any doubt, the episode firmly cements Max as the show’s Lex Luthor and removes any question as to the man’s true nature or motives. Of course the show does have a reset button in its back-pocket should J’onn J’onzz (David Harewood) decide to use his powers to limit Lord as a threat both to Supergirl and the DEO.

Galavant - Battle of the Three Armies

Setting up the season finale, the penultimate episode of Galavant‘s sophomore season finally brings all our characters to the same battlefield as Galavant (Harry Collett), Richard (Timothy Omundson), and their zombie army join the fight between Hortencia and Valencia. The war doesn’t exactly go as planned for anyone as Madalena‘s (Mallory Jansen) choice to invoke the power of the D’DEW costs her Gareth‘s (Vinnie Jones) affection but also turns the zombie horde against all the living soldiers forcing Gareth to choose his best friend’s side against the woman he loves.

Elementary - Alma Matters

Two weeks after a murder mistakenly believed to be the work of a home robbery crew, Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Watson (Lucy Liu) begin an investigation into the case not brought to them through the NYPD but by a social worker who believes there’s far more to the dead man’s story than meets the eye. A whistleblower against a private college with questionable practices, the victim was killed on the eve of testimony that could have cost the university millions. When the social worker turns up dead, and an innocent man seems willing to take the fall for the murder, the detectives know there’s certainly mischief afoot.
