Psych - Lock, Stock, Some Smoking Barrels and Burton Guster's Goblet of Fire

Psych opens its final season with a trip to England for Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dulé Hill) and the return of Cary Elwes as one of the show’s most entertaining recurring characters: international jewel and art thief Pierre Despereaux. However, he is no longer Despereaux. It turns out the entire art thief existence was nothing more than a deep undercover role by a well-respected Interpol agent (a story Gus doesn’t buy for a second) who now needs Shawn’s help due to the psychic detective’s strong resemblance to a getaway driver Interpol needs to take down London crime boss Ronnie Ives (Vinnie Jones).

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - The Magical Place

Picking up 36 hours after the end of “The Bridge” which saw Coulson (Clark Gregg) captured by Centipede (the group mashing up various tech to create their own super-soldiers who are even more interested in Coulson’s resurrection than he is), Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns from hiatus with Coulson’s team working for Victoria Hand (Saffron Burrows) to apprehend a black market supplier (Aiden Turner) with ties to the group. When Hand’s handpicked interrogator (Darren Dupree Washington) proves ineffective, Ward (Brett Dalton) takes the initiative to create a more conducive environment for the man’s cooperation.

Killer Women - La Sicaria

Based on the Argentine drama Mujeres Asesinas and the series of books by Marisa Grinstein, Tricia Helfer stars as Texas Ranger Molly Parker, a recently divorced former beauty queen turned Ranger in the male-dominated law force.
