Scandal 2.18 AbbyThis post contains SPOILERS for all aired episodes of Scandal, including last night's Season 2, episode 18, “Molly, You in Danger, Girl.”

(Need a refresher? Check out Kwana's recaps of episode 2.12episode 2.13episode 2.14episode 2.15episode 2.16, and episode 2.17.)

Hey there, Gladiators, when we last met we were left with a dead “mole” who we knew wasn’t really the mole and a Creepy Cute Jake sitting on a Washington bench with a new guy (ya know, that man from Terminator and Speed) talking about how Smarty McSmart they were for fooling everyone and setting up Osborne the way they did.

This week we’re back, with yet another fast-paced episode, one filled with so many twists and turns and fall out, yell at your screen, send your fingers flying to tweet moments. Instead of going my usual route, I’m going to share all the moments that had me yelling tweeting, gagging or going H2theN.O., they didn’t. Feel free to chime in over in the comments section with your favorite scream-worthy moments. Now let’s dive into this crazy stew together, shall we? #WhoIsTheMole

My first scream-worthy H2theN.O. moment came not 15 seconds in when HuckaberryQuinn popped on into Liv’s apartment chatting up their new Liv apartment bug and camera-sweeping itinerary. And when was this policy implemented and, uh duh, if there is a bug don’t you think shouting out your plan is a bad idea Huckabops? Yeesh.

Philip and Elizabeth in The Americans 1.09

This post contains SPOILERS for all aired episodes of The Americans, including last night's Season 1, episode 9, “Safe House.”

In a season full of romantic ups and downs for KGB agents and cover couple Philip and Elizabeth Jennings, nothing has been more poignant than the first scene in last night's episode, when the pair told their children Paige and Henry—the only two people you know they love unconditionally and never want to hurt, mind—that they were “hitting the pause button” on their marriage and separating.

The scene became all the more painful when Paige asked if her parents still loved each other, because that's the crux of the matter, of course, unbeknownst to the kids: Philip and Elizabeth never did love each other. Or rather, it's because they've realized they DO love each other that they now can't overcome the obstacle of Phil's infidelity and dishonesty. How so deliciously complicated, show?

[Hurts so good...]

Bo and Kenzi in Lost Girl 3.11Thank fae—Lost Girl Season 3 is here! Be sure to check out all of our recaps, from Season 1 and Season 2 to the most recent episode of Season 3 aired in the U.S. on the SyFy Channel.

Spoiler Policy: Please remember that there is a strong NO SPOILERS policy for any and all comments. We are ONLY DISCUSSING episodes of Lost Girl that have already aired in both Canada and the U.S. (the U.S. is currently a day behind Canada's schedule). Be kind and respectful by not ruining it for those who have yet to watch the newest Season 3 episode. Thanks!

Editor's Note: A shorter recap of Jackie Lester's thoughts on the episode was posted yesterday and can be found HERE. And now, on to Kiersten's play-by-play of Lost Girl 3.11, “Adventures in Fae-bysitting.”

At Hilton Hovel (drink!), Bo and Kenzi sit on the couch watching a slasher movie and bitching about the TSTL heroine. “Aaaannnddd cue the blonde in the baby doll dress walking into the woods…ah-lone!” Kenzi mocks. She settles back against Bo’s shoulder. “Human sashimi anyone?” Bo notes that she could rescue said blonde so easily. “Yes, yes, you can chi-suck yourself to victory,” Kenzi deadpans as she chomps down on popcorn. “You are a superstar. You really can do anything.” Anything except fix her relationship, Bo snarks and Kenzi agrees. “You suck at coupledom.” Truer words may never have been spoken on this show. Bo, however, takes mild affront. “I think what you meant was, ‘no worries, BoBo, you’re just on a break’?” Kenzi is right there with additional mockery as she replies, “Totes what I meant. Love conquers all. Soul mates for life. Carpe Lauren.” Let’s not go too far there, Kenz.

Bo fights back with more than a little sneer as she asks when the last time was that Kenzi had a date. “Dating’s so not a thing anymore,” Kenzi pffts. “It’s all about group hangs.” Actually, that would probably work better for Bo.

[Isn't that the truth...]

Bo and co. in 3.11, Adventures in Fae-bysittingKiersten Krum will be offering her full take on this episode of Lost Girl tomorrow (episode 3.11, “Adventures in Fae-bysitting”), but meanwhile, we thought we'd get the ball rolling on the latest in Bo's Merry Adventures by offering a sneak peek at what's to come:

*****SPOILERS*****

Tonight, the show opens with Kenzi and Bo watching a horror movie with alternating comments between how typical the movie is and how completely deluded Bo is about her break with Lauren. It seems everyone can see it but her. Kenzi offers as much sympathy as she can muster, which amounts to mostly a smile and lots of snark. The gist of the whole conversation is best summed up in K’s own words to Bo: “You suck at coupledom.”

We quickly shift over to a scene that could be the movie they were watching or an eerie parallel. A babysitter answers the phone, as K and Bo-Bo predicted moments ago. The call starts off with heavy breathing, intensifying the moment for the girl now scared in the house, alone. Kenzi and Bo had also screamed at the character in the movie to not answer the phone because obviously the caller is in the house, and death is probably imminent. The scene completely follows the Kenzi and Bo script, with the caller ID’ing himself as familiar to the girl, then getting downright creepy, describing the babysitter’s tank top and her ample cleavage.

[Oh no you didn't...]

Jon Snow in Game of Thrones Season 3, episode 1Finally, Game of Thrones Season 3 is here! Need to catch up first? Don't miss Regina Thorne's Season 2 finale recap or her Season 2 refresher. And now, onto last night's Season 3 opener, “Valar Dohaeris.”

Last night on the first episode of Season 3 of Game of Thrones, we learned the whereabouts of Jon Snow’s direwolf, met the mysterious Mance Rayder, and found out Margaery Tyrell is a player. But we still don’t know where Arya Stark is, why Tywin Lannister hates his least hateful child so much, and whether Joffrey was slapped too much as a child, or not enough.

In order to minimize wear and tear on my pause/rewind button, I’ve decided to recap the episodes a little differently this season. Rather than following the show with its jumps from place to place and character to character, I’m picking a location and telling you what happens there!

Let’s begin north of the Wall, where, when last seen, Samwell Tarly was fleeing for his life from a horde of White Walkers, wights, and assorted zombie horses. Sam, true to his Night’s Watch vows, is not wearing a hood, hat, earmuffs or any head covering of any types as he runs through a howling gale. He sees a kneeling figure in a cloak and calls out to it; when he approaches, he realizes that it is a fellow Night’s Watchman, whose severed head is cradled in his lap in some strange form of White Walker humor.

[White Walkers need amusement too?...]

Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope in Scandal Season 2 episode 17, Snake in the GardenThis post contains SPOILERS for all aired episodes of Scandal, including last night's Season 2, episode 17, “Snake in the Garden.”

(Need a refresher? Check out Kwana's recaps of episode 2.11episode 2.12episode 2.13episode 2.14episode 2.15, and episode 2.16.)

When last we left our D.C. dynamos, Olivia had invited Creepy Captain Jake into her apartment to come on over and pose for his own cameras, which he happily did and in the creepiest way possible. Leaving us in shivers. We also had CIA director Osborne getting a pic on his phone of Quinn, which left us feeling for than a mite scared for a little Huckleberry in training.

This week the show opened up with Cyrus having a meeting in a darkened garage with our favorite contract killer, Charlie, where he hands him Jake’s photo. Charlie asks if his husband is cheating on him. In perfect Cy-ness he says, in a way, yes. Then we see Fitz meeting with Jake once again. Jake is looking all comfy and chummy and sipping on a scotch, Fitz’s drink of choice, as Fitz praises him, telling him he doesn’t have many people he can trust but if Jake plays his cards right, he can be maybe be his official wingman. To that Jake tips back his drink. As if Cy would let that stand. Oh, Jake, you may be cute, but don’t mess with a man that would take out a hit on his own husband and keep said hit man on retainer just because.

[That does sound mighty dangerous...]

That's right, Bo, you ARE the Big Girl Weapon!Thank fae—Lost Girl Season 3 is here! Be sure to check out all of our recaps, from Season 1 and Season 2 to the most recent episode of Season 3 aired in the U.S. on the SyFy Channel.

Editor's Note: A shorter recap of Jackie Lester's thoughts on the episode was posted yesterday and can be found HERE. And now, on to Kiersten's play-by-play of Lost Girl 3.10, “Delinquents.”

At Hilton Hovel (drink!) and dressed in a red negligee, Bo contemplates her reflection in the full-length mirror. Presumably, this is the morning or soon enough after The Dawning. “I feel different,” she murmurs.  She shimmies in place and smiles. “I feel good.” Her eyes go succubus blue as they did at the end of the season 2 finale and she gets that same, evilicious look on her face as she did then too. “Oh, this is gonna be fun,” she chortles.

[Yeah, it is!...]

Would you say That Girl is One Fire?Season 3 of Game of Thrones starts this Sunday! Are you excited? Because we sure are! In addition to its gripping story, sumptuous costumes, beautiful locations, dragons, direwolves and superb actors, this show also has a lot of characters wandering around a vast space. So if you don’t have time to rewatch the second season or read all the recaps, here’s a quick guide to where we left everyone and what they were doing.

House Targaryen:

Daenerys Targaryen began season 2 wandering in the Red Waste with her tiny group of followers, three baby dragons she’d hatched on her husband’s funeral pyre, and her faithful knight, Ser Jorah Mormont, the disgraced son of Lord Mormont, Commander of the Knight’s Watch.

[Every fine lady needs a faithful knight...]

Linda Hamilton in Lost Girl Season 3, episode 10Kiersten Krum will be offering her full take on this episode of Lost Girl (“Delinquents”) tomorrow, but meanwhile, we thought we'd get the ball rolling on the latest in Bo's Merry Adventures by offering a sneak peek at what's to come:

We open with Bo wearing a pretty red negligee, looking at herself in the mirror, and smiling. Admiring the woman looking back at her now, she says, “I feel different. I feel good.” Then the eyes glow that sparkling blue colour and Bo adds, “Oh this is gonna be fun.” What could she possibly mean by that, I wonder?

Shocking Bo out of her reverie, Kenzi comes in, asking Bo to get her game face on. Someone’s trying to break into the Hilton Hovel. Punctuating Kenzi’s words is loud banging in the background. Considering the state of the place, try though they might to fix it up, you’d think a couple of good whacks would accomplish the would-be bad guy’s attempts to break down the door, but not so much.

Bo preps herself, still in red satin, with a baseball bat. Kenzi asks if she’s interrupting Bo’s softball game in her fab-snarky way. She suggests Bo instead arm herself with a “big girl weapon.”

[Oh, ouch, Kenzi!...]

Mellie Grant and baby in Scandal Season 2 episode 16Was that hiatus cruel or what? But Scandal's back with new episodes!

This post contains SPOILERS for all aired episodes of Scandal, including last night's Season 2, episode 16, “Top of the Hour.”

(Need a refresher? Check out Kwana's recaps of episode 2.10episode 2.11episode 2.12episode 2.13episode 2.14, and episode 2.15.)

Okay, Scandal fans, after a lovely 3—or was it 4?—week break that started to feel like a court-appointed prison sentence, Scandal was finally back with new episodes. The show started pretty much where it left off: all fast talking, and honestly it took me a minute to get my Gladiator sea legs straight and get back in the groove, but after about four minutes of speedy verbiage, I steadied myself and was a-OK.

The show opened on a sweet little scene in anywhere suburbia, probably somewhere just outside of DC with a nice little family getting ready for a dinner of takeout pizza. It’s mom, dad, little brother and we’ll call her mid-sized tween sister. The doorbell rings, letting us know it’s pizza time and sis goes to get it. Only she opens the door to an onslaught of paparazzi and screams. Looks like it’s on now.

[Wouldn't have it any other way...]

***Many, many major LBD spoilers ahead***

***You’ve been warned***

Today’s #LBD video opened with Lizzie sitting (alone!) talking about how grateful she is for all her fans. But have no fear, she was only toying with us—and also referencing all the teasing, almost-reveals of the past episodes. After the opening, the video picks up right where it left off on Lizzie and Charlotte’s shared birthday: with Darcy standing in front of her in her parents' den. I’ve got to hand it to the guy. He certainly does know how to return a phone call.

They sit down, and Darcy notices that Lizzie is, of course, filming. I like this nod to the issues in pervious episodes when Lizzie filmed people or discussed them without their knowledge. It’s more proof of how her character has grown over the course of the series.

[It's all coming together!...]

Bo in Lost Girl Season 3, episode 9Thank fae—Lost Girl Season 3 is here! Be sure to check out all of our recaps, from Season 1 and Season 2 to the most recent episode of Season 3 aired in the U.S. on the SyFy Channel.

Editor's Note: A mini recap of Megan Frampton's first thoughts on the episode was posted yesterday and can be found HERE. And now, on to Kiersten's full recap of Lost Girl 3.09, “Ceremony.”

We open on a lovely bedroom bathed in blue light so right away we know we’re in a dream world. The camera pans across the photos, an alarm clock that reads 3:01 AM, to the wood sleigh bed where Dyson sleeps…alone. His arm reaches out and he wakes when he only finds an empty pillow. Mildly alarmed, he sits up and looks toward what must be the bathroom. “Babe, are you okay?” he calls with concern. Bo pulls open the double doors and stands in the doorway. She’s wearing a stunning, white satin, foot-long nightgown. She tells him she couldn’t sleep. “Another bad dream?” he asks. Bo says she’s knows she hasn’t been herself lately.  Dyson shakes his head and says it’s okay as he stands. “And you have been so patient,” Bo continues. (Yes we have! Okay, maybe not so much patient as biding our time with clenched teeth.)

Dyson smiles softly. “I’m a husband,” he says with a shrug (OH IF ONLY). “It’s my job.” Bo says she just wanted to be sure before she told him. He frowns. “Okay, now you’re starting to freak me out a little,” he says in THAT VOICE and steps closer. Bo takes his hand in hers. “For the last few days, I feel like I’ve been going crazy.” With concern, Dyson asks her what’s wrong. Bo continues, “The things that I have been thinking and seeing…” He kind of braces himself a little for whatever is next. Bo drops the act and gets a smug, satisfied, happy smile on her face as she holds up the stick. “I’m pregnant,” she chimes. Dyson looks at the stick, looks at Bo, smiles and starts to laugh. Bo laughs too and they embrace with Dyson lifting her off her feet. Filled with love and joy, they can’t hold one another tight enough.

The End.

[You can't leave it there!...]

Bo, Kenzi, and Dyson in Lost Girl season 3 episode 9, CeremonyKiersten Krum will be offering her full take on this episode of Lost Girl (“Ceremony”) tomorrow, but meanwhile, we thought we'd get the ball rolling on the latest in Bo's Merry Adventures by offering a sneak peek at what's to come:

Bo is still going through the Dawning, some sort of Fae puberty thing that every Fae has to go through. Apparently it's super-hard, and if you fail, you become an UnderFae, kind of like an Orc, only less muddy.

As the show opens, it's 3:01 in a very blue bedroom, and Dyson is sleeping, reaching his hand out to an empty bed next to him. He wakes up and sees Bo, who's in this stunning Jean Harlow-ish white silk peignoir, emerging from a very yellow room.

She apologizes for acting crazy, and then makes the big announcement: She's pregnant. They embrace, with both of them clearly very happy.

[Whoa buddy!...]

Be sure to check out all of our recaps, from Season 1 and Season 2 to the most recent episode of Season 3 aired in the U.S. on the SyFy Channel. All caught up? Good.

Blindfolded, Bo wanders around The Dal (drink!), Stella at her heels, searching for a cricket. Yup, a cricket. As in Jiminy. “Here Crickety McCrickerson,” Bo calls softly. The insect’s chirps echo through the bar as behind Bo, a strained Stella asks if she wants to find the Zambian Cricket of Good Fortune or not. Before she can answer, Bo bumps into a table, which is a testament to Stella’s mad skillz as a guide dog. “Ow! I think my shins passed ‘good fortune’ two hours ago!” Grunting, she turns around and as Jiminy rubs his legs even more frantically, Bo makes her tentative way back toward Stella, who ‘helpfully’ gives her warm…warm…cold clues. “The stupid chirping is bouncing off every wall,” Bo complains as she eases past her coach. Stella, who is holding a small, engraved wooden box, tells Bo she needs to be able to distinguish the original sound from its echo. I feel like there should be an anvil alert there, but I’m not sure why.

[Patience, grasshopp—I mean, cricket...]

We begin with a close up of Bo’s beautiful eyes and, for a moment, I wonder if the LivEvil split scene marketing image is about to come to life before our eyes. But no, Bo is merely down in Tolkien’s Lair (drink!) preparing for her first step to conquer the Tests of the Dawning.  She slowly blinks and Trick asks if she’s ready and Bo nods in a jerky motion. “Take a deep breath,” Trick encourages. “Try again.” Bo opens her eyes, breathes audibly, and slowly steps toward The Mirror of Erisod. Okay, fine, it’s an archway of entwined branches that frames an invisible threshold—one which proceeds to knock Bo back on her shapely ass. Trick makes a disappointed face but calmly asks what Bo did that time, as though she offended The Threshold somehow. Sprawled on the ground, Bo gives him A Look. “Begged the invisible threshold to knock me on my ass, obviously,” she snarks. “Was I not supposed to?”

Trick reminds her that most Fae have years to prepare for their Rites of Passage. “You have days before you devolve into something I have to keep in a cage!” Bo is not cowed. “Haven’t you always wanted a pet?” Trick sighs. “I see impending doom hasn’t affected your sense of humor,” he returns. Bo stalks across the room and frantically flips through a book on his desk. “This has to say how to get through the stupid door!” she insists. Trick patronizes that much is left to interpretation, “like I told you to—” But Bo has heard this litany too many times already. “Yes,” she interrupts, irritated, “to focus on the now. Shift consciousness and achieve an effortless merging of action and awareness,” she snits as she stalks back to The Threshold, clearly mimicking something Trick has said numerous times. “To allow yourself,” Trick reminds her laboriously, “to cross through The Threshold!”

[Trick knows best...]

Fitz in Scandal Season 2 episode 15This post contains SPOILERS for all aired episodes of Scandal, including last night's Season 2, episode 15, “Boom Goes the Dynamite.”

(Need a refresher? Check out Kwana's recaps of episode 2.08episode 2.09episode 2.10episode 2.11episode 2.12episode 2.13, and episode 2.14.)

Hey, Gladiators! So we open with a little pickup from last week, ending where we left off with shot of Captain Jake watching live from his TV of many angles. And if that’s not creepy enough, the new epi starts with everyone’s favorite DA on the comedown, David, leaving his not-so-favorite job at the high school for some reason in the dead of night, all alone, with no one around. Suddenly, he drops his papers and a figure runs by. David gets scared and goes on the run himself, convinced that someone is out to get him. Paranoid much? Not that he doesn’t have good reason by now.

Cut to Olivia meeting Captain Jake at a fancy restaurant for a meeting, but Jake in convinced this meeting is a date. Then he grabs champagne glasses and takes Olivia to a more romantic locale, the Jefferson Memorial (thanks, Twitter peeps!). But once there, all Olivia wants to talk about is Albatross and what dead Wendy was up to when she died. Jake is all, “Wow, you really suck at dating,” and BT,  can’t you see this is not Cold Duck in these champagne glasses? Drink up, sister. Jake pauses in the midst of all this for about thirty seconds to talk very fast and tell Liv the “Legend of Albatross.” He’s all, 'State department, classified documents, sold to Tehran, dead guy who said that Albatross did it.' Thirty seconds over and date back on.

And then Liv’s phone beeps and just like that, the date/meeting is off. Oh well….

**********SPOILERS********** 

At The Dal (drink!), Bo violently hustles NotKenzi (NK) inside and with her hand wrapped in NK’s hair to pin her neck, Bo throws her against the bar and in front of Trick. I kind of want to know how she managed to drive the succmobile and wrangle NK at the same time but whatever. (I miss the succmobile.) Behind them, Dyson looks up from playing pool with Tamsin. “I don’t know who this is, but it’s not Kenzi!” Bo spits at Trick. “You’re hurting me, Bo-Bo!” NK shrieks. “Don’t call me that! Kenzi calls me that! Where is she?!” Bo demands of NK. Dyson half steps toward the women, confused by what he seeing as it’s so totally not like Bo and Kenzi—but in a good character way not in a this-show-has-totally-redone-her-core-characters-to-suit-its-fan-biased-agenda way. Trick wants to know what Bo is doing and immediately calls for Dyson, who’s been slowly edging closer. “Let go!” NK yells. “Give me back my friend, we’ve got a deal, bitch,” Bo snarls just as Dyson takes the last few steps and grabs Bo from behind to hoist her off NK. “Bar’s closed!” he shouts as Bo struggles with all her might. NK plaintively insists, “I am your friend, Bo-Bo!” and Bo erupts again in Dyson’s hold, lunging for NK. “Don’t call me that!” Fighting to restrain Bo, Dyson yells for everyone to get out of The Dal (drink!). He releases Bo and turns her to him and she settles to a resting fume. “Bo, what’s going on?” he asks quietly. “I know it looks like Kenzi, but it is not her.” NK talks over her that they were having dinner and Bo just grabbed her. In a great seamless move, Bo segues right back over to NK “no I didn’t just GRAB you! She’s lying, Trick, she’s lying!” NK shouts “she’s gone total nuts!” as Trick comes out from behind the bar to stand between them and yells at them both to be silent. “One at a time!”

Olivia and Fitz in Scandal season 2, episode 14This post contains SPOILERS for all aired episodes of Scandal, including last night's Season 2, episode 14, “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.”

(Need a refresher? Check out Kwana's recaps of episode 2.08episode 2.09episode 2.10episode 2.11episode 2.12, and episode 2.13.)

So lovelies, when we last left our intrepid Gladiators, it seemed all was lost. Fitz had just found out about the conspiracy that landed him in the White House—and offed Verna, David had been screwed out of the case of his life and Olivia had finally given the heave ho to boring Eddie and was sitting all alone on a church pew, the mistress being cast aside by a pouty Fitz. But wait! All was not lost! Mellie was sitting pretty back on Team Fitz once again.

Well, not much difference does a week and OMG 10 fiction months later make! As this week’s episode opens, we pick up 10 months later and Olivia is trying to work out her lonely girl sorrows by doing laps in the pool. Meanwhile, Fitz is trying to work out his lonely Fitz frustrations by taking up the new sport of 7am shower Scotch drinking.

Oliver, Digg, and Felicity in Arrow 1.14This week's episode brought everyone's favorite techie, Felicity, back into the picture in a big way, and it was awesome. So let's just dive in, shall we?

***SPOILERS TO FOLLOW FOR ARROW 1.14, “THE ODYSSEY”***

Highlights

Moira actually shoots at—and hits—the Green Arrow, not realizing, of course, that she's just seriously injured her son. Y'know, the one she's just said she has to live for when pleading with Arrow not to kill her. Oh, the drama!

FELICITY! My favorite episode of the moment, by far, was the reveal that a wounded Oliver had climbed into her car, and Felicity's realization that he's the vigilante. “Everything about you just became so unbelievably clear,” she says. Love her. And look, I know Laurel is probably going to be The One for Oliver, the one he'll spend seasons pining over, but at this point I'm waaaaay more into the idea of Oliver/Felicity.

[Make it happen, show!...]
