Ranking the top 5 moments from “Shameless” season 10 episode 12: “Gallavich!”

Happy Monday TV fans! After watching Showtime’s Shameless season 10 episode 12 season finale, we knew it was going to be a stressful day, but the Gallaghers refuse to let hate win, reminding us that true love can conquer all…even Mickey’s dad.

Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not watched the latest episode yet.

In last night’s episode, “Gallavich!” Ian and Mickey prepare for their wedding day, but things get complicated when Mickey’s dad decides to burn down their venue. Meanwhile, Lip tries to get through to Tami, Liam works his magic with Frank, and Julia gets punched in the face.

My top 5 moments from the Shameless season 10 episode 12 season finale are:

“You got game son.”

Liam tries to come up with the perfect present for Ian and Mickey and decides that he wants to get them a honeymoon car without spending money, which is where Frank comes into play. Liam tricks Frank by telling him that they are selling the house, which gets one of Faye’s cars in the right place at the right time.

Frank is impressed with Liam, but tells him he’s not going to the wedding. Liam reminds him that they don’t expect him to show up to much and actually talks some sense into his father, as Frank arrives to show his support…and to reunite with an old flame.

I thought it was nice that Ian spoke to Debbie about missing Monica, but no mention of Fiona not attending?

“You got another mask?”

Tami is furious at Lip for renting the house in Southside without talking to her first and tells him that she is going to take Fred to Milwaukee without him.

Lip is beyond heartbroken and resorts to drinking at the wedding, but luckily he shows up at Brad’s door and tells him he needs to find a meeting.

Tami has a change of heart and decides to move in with Lip after all. I’m not the biggest fan of Tami, but I don’t want Lip to be separated from his son. We’ll have to see how this all plays out in the final season, but it’s clear that Lip is destined to be a great father and now he’ll get the chance to prove it.

“Welcome to the Southside, Julia.”

Julia’s back and now she claims that she is moving in with Debbie.

Sandy has other ideas after her own intimate night with Debbie and punches Julia…right in the face. It’s not like she didn’t have this coming. Nice Sandy!

Julia continues to argue with her mom and stirs up some more drama, but it looks like she is moving on to Carl...at least for a casual hookup. At the end of the episode, the police show up looking for Debbie, charging her with statutory rape since Julia is not 18 yet. Our girl Debbie Gallagher makes a run for it, but it looks like her love triangle fiasco is now catching up with her.

Run, Debbie!

“Ask me fool!”

Kevin Ball’s Keg Zone is really making some impressive progress, as Kev begins to save a stash of money. He doesn’t initially tell V about it, which makes her suspicious, but we later find out he was saving to buy V…an engagement ring!

Kev asks V to marry him after Ian and Mickey’s wedding and it’s about time! So happy for these two!!!!!!

“At last!”

After Mickey’s father burns down The Bamboo Lotus, Ian and Mickey are out of a venue. Debbie suggests that they “white trash this shit” up, as they pool together their resources. Eventually, they settle on The Polish Doll, but the owner is not a fan of the LGBTQ community.

Luckily, Lip and Debbie get creative, as Debbie wears a wedding dress, claiming to be the bride. She keeps the owner distracted with her wedding day jitters while the real wedding takes place.

“At Last” is the perfect song choice, Ian! We finally get to witness Gallavich earning their first step toward happily ever after as these two tie the knot!

Shameless Showtime 7 — Images courtesy of Showtime

The wedding is romantic and perfect and I teared up quite a bit, but we also get some true Gallavich adventure at the end when Mickey’s father tries to shoot up their honeymoon.

It’ll never be quiet for these two, but at least they have each other!

Stay tuned for the final season of Shameless!!!!!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The Purge” season 2 episode 10: “The Purge Doesn’t Work”

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching USA network’s The Purge season 2 episode 10 season finale last night, we were reminded that “the truth is the only thing more powerful than this regime, so demand the truth no matter the cost…your lives depend on it.”

Please note MAJOR spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In last night’s episode, “7:01 AM,” Esme attempts to tell the public the truth, but the NFFA is not going to let her make this broadcast without putting up a fight. Meanwhile, Ben and Marcus face off, Ryan’s group is ready to blow things up, and Michelle’s life hangs in the balance.

My top 5 moments from The Purge season 2 episode 10 Season Finale are:

“There is no way in hell that I’m gonna let you die.”

Marcus is not questioning things any longer and it looks like he has finally found his true purpose at the Triage center. Michelle is not doing so great, but Marcus is able to save her life. It looks like Michelle was actually trying to make things right after all and I have to say that I’m perfectly fine with that.

Marcus deserves a chance at real happiness and it looks like he and Michelle will continue to work with the Resistance to help others in need.

Will we get to see Marcus in any future Purge movies as a result? We know that the Triage center always plays a major part and I would love to see more from his character.

“Don’t tell me this was all for nothing.”

Meanwhile, Esme breaks into the NFFA command center and is trying to release the footage from Olivia Hughes’s murder off Purge, but she can only send the file to the broadcast room, which really doesn’t leave her a lot of options.

Vivian meets up with her in the stairwell and agrees to grant her access into the room, but of course their boss, Curtis, breaks up the party. Curtis initially seems like he believes Esme, but ends up shooting at her and poor Vivian is shot instead.

Luckily, we find out at the end of the episode that Vivian is actually all right and is now working for the Resistance.

Go V!

“You’re trying to play God, but you’re not God. I AM!”

OK psycho Ben, you need to calm down. Ben wakes up in the Triage center after Marcus brought him there to help him and he decides to return the favor by brutally murdering a bunch of doctors with a scalpel, claiming that they are robbing Purgers of their rightful kills.

Marcus ends up facing off with Ben and is able to stop him, but he doesn’t kill him. Rather, he leaves him outside and says that the Purge will take care of him, but Ben somehow makes it out of there OK and is now left being creepy as ever with his God mask.

I guess if there is a Resistance, there still has to be a group dedicated to the Purge and it doesn’t look like Ben is going to stop the violence anytime soon.

“You see, it is a lie.”

After Ryan and his crew are able to blow things up and successfully steal their score from the Jackals, things are looking up for them, as they decide to head down to Panama to start new lives. Only Ryan cannot leave Esme behind and decides to go after her.

Ryan tells Esme that he is where he’s supposed to be and plans on stalling the NFFA to give Esme enough time to broadcast her message, hoping that they will be forced to arrest Esme rather than kill her.

Ryan shows off some impressive shooting skills while Esme is able to successfully broadcast her message. She explains that the Purge doesn’t work and goes into detail about Professor Adams and her study, revealing footage of the NFFA breaking into Olivia’s house off Purge.

Ryan is eventually killed and the NFFA comes face-to-face with Esme, but it is now after 7:00 AM and yet they still get the call to take her out.

Esme is shockingly killed and the NFFA claims that her broadcast was “fake news,” but Esme’s actions are not in vain.

“Our country deserves better.”

At the end of the episode, we learn that Darren is leading the Resistance movement, which features an image of Esme in the background, trying to tell the truth while fighting against the NFFA. Vivian and Turner are also working for the Resistance, giving Turner a chance to really become someone worthy.

Marcus and Michelle are there as well and Ryan’s group ends up wiring his share of the money to the movement so that they can really make a difference, uniting our characters together. Well, I guess except for psycho Ben, who seems to do better on his own.

Overall, this was a jam-packed season finale with so many twists and surprises. I loved the fun cameo from Ethan Hawke in the beginning and I have to say that the season finale presented me with some twists that I did not see coming.

I hope this paves the way for a season 3 because I’m certainly not done with The Purge series just yet!

Stay tuned!

What did YOU think of the season 2 finale? Did you predict who would survive?

Ranking the top 5 moments from “American Horror Story: 1984” season 9 episode 9 Season Finale: “Final Girl”

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the FX network’s American Horror Story: 1984 season 9 episode 9 season finale, I learned that the 80’s will never truly die, but our killers certainly didn’t make it easy for our potential Final Girls. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In last night’s episode, “Final Girl,” we flash forward to 2019, as a familiar AHS face seeks out Camp Redwood, looking for answers. Meanwhile, the Final Girl is revealed, but not before we get some unexpected twists and turns along the way. My top 5 moments from the American Horror Story: 1984 season 9 episode 9 Season Finale are:

“You’re in danger…”

We certainly got a lot of time jumps during this season and it’s now 2019, as AHS alum, Finn Wittrock, shows up at Camp Redwood to find out the truth. He comes into contact with Montana and Trevor and they learn that he is Mr. Jingles’s son, Bobby.

Small world! Bobby has returned to find his father, but they tell him that he is dead and that he is in great danger now.

Bobby is quickly introduced to the supernatural threats on the campgrounds, but will he be able to make it out alive? Let’s find out!

“You can’t sing Rebel Yell and not be a rebel.”

Fair point, Montana! During the episode, we discover that Margaret brutally stabbed Trevor after finding out that he was trying to keep people from coming to her musical massacre fest. Trevor tries to get over the campground lines so that he can be with Montana, but he can’t make it. Luckily, Brooke shows up to help him, as Montana now realizes that she also has the chance for redemption.

Dylan McDermott’s character is killed pretty easily, but Montana is ready to take down the Night Stalker herself.

Naturally, she tells him that Billy Idol is waiting for him to lure him away, which is a great tactic! The Night Stalker is surrounded by all the ghosts and they take out their revenge on him, trapping his spirit there for eternity.

Only they need to keep constant watch over him or he could summon Satan to be reborn, so this is certainly a lot of work.

While I was slightly disappointed with how easy it was to take down the Night Stalker, I was happy with Montana’s quest toward redemption here.

“Take her…”

The Night Stalker was really just the appetizer for the main course; however, as the ghosts now turn their attention on Margaret.

Margaret is not really intimidated, but they certainly pull out all the stops to brutally murder her. They cut off her limbs one by one and ensure that the remains are spilled out past the campgrounds, but one should never truly discount Margaret…

Either way, this scene had my stomach turning, but it’s not like she didn’t have this coming.

“You were the last one. The only one.”

Right before Margaret is taken, Brooke and Donna attack her, but Brooke is stabbed in the process. When Bobby goes to the asylum to get some answers about his father, he meets Donna years later and realizes that she is the Final Girl.

Only nothing is that simple on AHS, as we find out that Ray saved Brooke and she has been secretly sending Bobby money all these years to try and give him a chance at a normal life.

It looks like Brooke and Donna are both the Final Girls after all!

Both of them killed it and were the highlight of the season for me, so I was really happy that they both were able to make it out of there OK. Looks like they’re bonded for life now!

“The 80’s will never die.”

Even after hearing everything, Bobby still returns to Camp Redwood and of course the Night Stalker breaks free and tries to kill him. The ghosts all band together to save him and Mr. Jingles shows up with perfect timing to stop Margaret, who has been hiding out all this time to get her revenge, revealing that she died right before her head was thrown across the line.

Bobby is stabbed and it doesn’t look too good for him, but his grandmother shows up to stop Margaret, giving Bobby his chance at a real happy ending.

Montana reminds him to keep their ghost stories alive so that the 80’s never die and we get somewhat of a happily ever after here.

So overall, I absolutely LOVED the first half of season 9. The throwback to the 80’s and the music was out of this world. The show did an excellent job of channeling that slasher vibe while also throwing in some campy horror humor to really lighten the mood and I thought that this was so entertaining.

However, once we got to the second half of the season, it felt like random plots were thrown our way and everything got a little bit chaotic. It almost seemed like they didn’t really know where to go at a certain point and I almost wish they would have had fewer episodes with more 80’s slasher fun because the season was at its highest point during those moments.

Either way, I appreciated the music and had a lot of fun watching. Although I really wanted to see Billy Idol! There were some fantastic guest stars and some really great performances, but we’ll have to see what premise we get in season 10. Stay tuned AHS fans!

American Horror Story: 1984 episode 9 Music Soundtrack Highlights:

A Flock Of Seagulls – I Ran (So Far Away) (Video)

Autograph – Turn up the Radio (Official Video)

Mike + The Mechanics – The Living Years (Official Video)

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Fear the Walking Dead” season 5 episode 16 Season Finale: “Just Live!”

Happy Monday TV fans! After watching AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 16, I realized that our actions may be about the future, but what if we aren’t around to see their impact? Do they still matter? Should we still risk it all to do the right thing? Please note MAJOR spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In last night’s episode, “End of the Line,” the group attempts to find another way around Virginia’s offer, but they run into some trouble. Meanwhile, Dwight self-reflects, John and June finally tie the knot, and Alicia is back in action. My top 5 moments from Fear the Walking Dead season 5 episode 16 season finale are:

“I’m not afraid of it anymore.”

Finally! Our girl, Alicia Clark is back!!!!! Alicia is back in action and Victor happily hands over her weapon. There’s no reason why Alicia can’t paint things and kick some walker ass too!

Alicia is confident that they can clear the gulch and sparks are continuing to fly between her and Wes, but will we eventually get to see something beyond lingering stares? I hope so, but I am thrilled that Alicia is ready to channel the strength within her because we need her!

“I am who I am because of you folks.”

Dwight gets his time to shine in this episode, as he tries to convince the group that they can make things work without Virginia. Dwight does not want to repeat history and he remembers what happened with Negan all too well. He clearly doesn’t want the same thing to happen to his new friends here.

After the walkers decide to go for a dip to cool off in the river, Dwight ends up surrounded, but Morgan and the others refuse to leave him behind. I think the character development of Dwight is necessary and important and we will definitely need him in the fight against Virginia later on.

“I loved you since the first day you washed up on my shore.”

I don’t know what it is about John and June, but they make me swoon and then some! These two finally get their special moment, as they tie the knot in front of the group. The group still has a little bit of time left before Virginia gets there and they try to make the most of it. I thought June looked absolutely stunning in her green gown and it was incredibly sweet and selfless of Dwight to give them his rings.

“I felt something. I need you to know that.”

John and June aren’t the only ones to get their romantic moment, as Morgan finally tells Grace how he feels. Grace reciprocates the feeling before they are separated, after confiding in Morgan about why she originally didn’t want him to say anything.

Well, we find out that Grace’s story about her past love interest at the plant does have a point, as she is actually pregnant, rather than sick, which I did not see coming. I’m happy that Grace is all right, but I’m extremely concerned about the shocking moment that follows…here we go.

“Just live!”

So, I’ve been saying for a while that we need a major character death in order to shake things up on this show, but I was not expecting this. After everyone is separated by Virginia’s people, I was beyond upset. Side note, the separation of Daniel and Skidmark really made me cry! But, Virginia decides not to take any chances with Morgan, leaving him for last.

Virginia turns the gun on him and shoots him, leaving him for dead. It’s clear that Morgan has been threatening Virginia’s vision for the future a little bit too much and she wants to be rid of him once and for all. We are left seeing Morgan bleeding out, as walkers approach him. After finding out that Grace is actually pregnant, Morgan seems hopeful still and radios out that “it was about the future” and tells everyone to “just live.”

Well, I’m hoping that Morgan can somehow take his own advice, but it doesn’t look too good for our main character. That being said, I’m thinking back to TWD when we thought Glenn was originally dead in an impossible situation, so I know that sometimes the impossible is possible in TWD universe, but we will have to wait and see Morgan’s fate.

This was definitely the shocking moment I was looking for, although I don’t want anything to happen to Morgan. I would love to get some of your theories. Do you think Morgan is truly dead? Stay tuned!

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own theories and thoughts on Fear the Walking Dead in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Younger” season 6 episode 12: “That’s A Lot to Think About!”

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching TV Land’s Younger season 6 episode 12 season finale, I realized that “we have to make choices in life,” but it seems like Liza is not having a super easy time with this and things are only going to get more complicated for her. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In last night’s episode, “Forever,” Liza’s two worlds collide again, when she is left with an overwhelming choice that may change her life forever. Meanwhile, Kelsey contemplates her next steps and Diana and Enzo get married. My top 5 moments from the Younger season 6 episode 12 season finale are:

“I’m taking a leap and the net will appear.”

Well maybe, “but what if the sidewalk appears first,” as Liza points out to her good friend, Kelsey, who decides to move forward with her decision to leave Millennial. Both Charles and Liza try to convince Kelsey to change her mind, but they do respect her decision. Kelsey is looking to start her own publishing company and even secures Quinn as an investor, which surprises everyone, but is this really the right move for our girl Kelsey?

“It’s Diana’s day.”

Even though Diana’s wedding mostly serves as the background for this jam-packed episode, Diana looks beyond gorgeous in her gown and I was so happy to see her and Enzo get married without that interesting ice sculpture on display. Leave it to Maggie and Lauren to stir up just the right amount of trouble! Either way, it was wonderful to see one of my favorite ships finally get their happily ever after and I can’t wait to see what happens next with them!

“Does this count as me reaching out?”

Kelsey is going through a lot and Zane tries to show his support, but he also gives Kelsey a reality check about starting her own publishing company, especially since he just went through this recently. Zane tells Kelsey that he thought she was awesome in the way she handled everything, but he also doesn’t like that she bailed on him and reminds her that it will need to be her move if she wants to pursue their relationship in the future.

Luckily, it doesn’t take Kelsey too long to discover where her heart truly lies, as she holds Zane’s hand during Diana and Enzo’s wedding, letting Zane know that she’s ready to give their relationship a true chance. I ship these two so much and I am really happy that they are going to keep things going! Yay!

“I wouldn’t want anyone else to have it…”

After Infinitely 21 wants to use Liza’s tattoo design, Josh explains that he needs to get permission. Liza initially tells him that it’s fine, but she quickly has a change of heart, flashing back to the day that Josh gave her that tattoo, realizing how unique and special it is to their past relationship.

Liza says, “It’s ours” and Josh seems to be pleased with her answer, recognizing that perhaps Liza has not truly moved on just yet. A tattoo is forever, but is Liza ready to finally trust her instincts and go with her heart? Well…it’s about to get even more complicated!

“Will you marry me?”

Charliza finally gets a moment alone during the season finale and it’s a very big moment, as Charles explains that perhaps the family trip was not a great idea and asks Liza to marry him. Before Liza can answer, Kelsey interrupts and says, “I do” to Charles’s offer to make her a member of the board, giving her a stake in the company. The bridal party splits these two apart and we are left seeing Liza and Charles looking at one another across the dance floor.

I mean, talk about a cliffhanger! What will Liza say? Is she ready to finally make a choice? I can’t wait to find out and I’m curious to learn whether Team Charles or Team Josh will be victorious. Although, perhaps Liza will choose herself during this impossible choice to make things even more dramatic, but we will have to wait until 2020 to find out!!!!!! Stay tuned Younger fans!

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own theories and thoughts on Younger below in the comments section. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “The 100” season 6 episode 13 Season Finale: “Tell Me It Was Worth It”

Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching the CW’s The 100 season 6 episode 13 season finale, I learned that sometimes accepting the truth isn’t always possible. If we have been brought up on a lie, do our lives still have meaning when the lie is finally exposed or is there still a chance to discover the truth within ourselves? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In last night’s episode, “The Blood of Sanctum,” Clarke continues to pose as Josephine, but things get a little tricky when she realizes that many innocent lives are at stake. Meanwhile, Murphy tries out being a hero, Abby’s fate is revealed, and Octavia’s destiny becomes more complicated. My top 5 moments from The 100 season 6 episode 13 season finale are:

“Who’s the hero now?”

You are, John Murphy! Especially after you had that “interesting” kiss with that guy from Sanctum! Murphy was really committing to the role, but he did say he was a good kisser. Good thing Emori isn’t the jealous type. Either way, I was thrilled to finally see Murphy do the right thing to help his friends.

After the truth is revealed about the Primes, non-believers are being killed, but Murphy decides to get his friends out of there and brings them to the palace to move them out of harm’s way. Murphy still contemplates just doing what is right for him and his friends, but risks it all and continues with this dangerous charade to help everyone in need. Thanks Murphy!

“I am sorry for your loss.”

Meanwhile, Clarke realizes that she cannot let Russell and the other Primes kill any more innocent people and she decides to turn the tables on them, revealing her true identity. Russell is beyond upset to find out that his daughter is dead and he turns further down his path of revenge. We get a small glimmer of hope when Simone turns the gun on her people, telling Clarke that she is really Abby and that she has been pretending too.

Clarke holds on to this hope for just a second, but is smart enough to ask Abby what her father’s name is. Simone’s plan fails and Clarke pulls the fail-safe switch, ultimately floating and killing Simone in Abby’s body. I was already so incredibly heartbroken from last week’s episode, but I was still holding on to the hope that Abby might somehow be OK. However, that hope was ripped away from us in the season finale, as we said goodbye to Abby Griffin for good. May we meet again. You will be missed!

“You’re as weak as her…”

After Clarke goes through the trauma of losing her mother, she cannot bear to lose Madi too. However, the Dark Commander is not making things easy, as he continues to control Madi, manipulating Russell into following him toward an even darker path of revenge. The Dark Commander tells Clarke that Lexa told him that she was strong, but he thinks that she is weak because of her love. Clarke holds a gun to her head, trying to get through to Madi and is successful, as Madi is able to surface with perfect timing.

Raven comes in the clutch and reminds Clarke that they need to take out the flame to save Madi. Clarke is beyond grateful and the two bond for a moment over losing Abby, which was touching to see. Madi may not be the Commander anymore, but she is alive and we can all breathe a sigh of relief…at least for the moment.

“Tell me it was worth it.”

Despite all the heartbreak in this episode, we do get a beautiful Bellarke moment, as Bellamy and Clarke embrace after everything is over. Clarke asks him if they truly did better and Bellamy tries to convince her that they are making a step in the right direction, but how will Clarke cope without her mother? Now that we know that The 100’s season 7 will be the last season of the show, is there hope for Bellarke to finally be together? Fingers crossed! Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed this small moment and pretty much any embrace between Bellarke makes me swoon!

“Side by side…like it was meant to be.”

Even though a lot of the attention is centered on Clarke in this episode, Octavia continues to try and redeem herself, making her an even more interesting character. Octavia never ceases to surprise me and she is the first one to tell Gabriel that she is willing to help save the innocent people of Sanctum, truly embracing the role of a hero. Octavia continues to make courageous decisions now and it looks like her destiny is about to be explored even further when Gabriel discovers that the Anomaly Stone has formed tattoos on her back. Gabriel has been studying these for quite some time and believes that Octavia is the key...but the key to what?

When Octavia touches the stone, the intense green light is released and our favorite characters are greeted by….Diyoza’s grown-up daughter, Hope, who stabs Octavia, causing her to vanish before their very eyes. Bellamy screams out for his sister and our favorite characters are left out in the open. We can only assume that this is either the Anomaly itself or it has somehow taken over Sanctum.

We know there are other planets that still exist based on what Russell said, but I’m not sure where are characters are now, but it looks like we have our setup for season 7. Will Octavia be OK? Is Clarke stuck in the same Anomaly? We’ll have to wait and see, but I can’t wait to see how it all ends! Stay tuned!

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own theories and thoughts on The 100 in the comments section below. Thanks for reading and happy viewing!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Killing Eve” season 2 episode 8: “You’re Mine”

Happy Monday TV fans! After watching BBC America’s Killing Eve season 2 episode 8 season finale on AMC, I realized that what comes around, goes around. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “You’re Mine,” armed guards from The Twelve show up and threaten Eve’s operation, which puts her life in immediate danger. Meanwhile, Aaron wants Villanelle to work for him and Raymond comes back looking for revenge. My top 5 moments from the Killing Eve season 2 episode 8 season finale are:

“Gentleman is a very common word.”

In the beginning of the episode, Eve hears a noise outside and is shocked when she discovers that Hugo has been shot. Villanelle uses the safe word, “gentleman,” and Eve rushes over to her to save the day, leaving a note behind to help poor Hugo, who is left bleeding in the hallway. When Eve arrives, she discovers that Villanelle appears to be fine and is sitting down for breakfast with Aaron. Aaron recognizes Eve and Villanelle reveals her Russian accent, which is what truly surprises Aaron. Villanelle went through some of Aaron’s homemade movies, which are quite disturbing, and he offers her the chance to work for him, telling her that she will never be bored again.

Villanelle seems tempted by the offer and asks Aaron if he wants her to kill Eve and further asks if he would like to watch. Of course our girl Villanelle does not disappoint, as she decides to slit Aaron’s throat instead and says, “Then watch this,” while turning him around to face his reflection. Life or death with Villanelle is never boring, but Eve thinks that they have blown the mission now and realizes that they are in great danger. She asks Villanelle why she used the safe word and Villanelle hilariously reminds her that “gentleman” is a very common word after all.

“This is not uncomfortable. This is a setup.”

After convincing Villanelle to come with her, Eve rushes back to the place where she was staying, but Hugo’s body is gone and it looks like the room has been completely cleaned out, as all of the recordings have vanished as well. Carolyn knocks on the door and Eve suddenly understands that she wanted Aaron dead all along. Eve feels like a pawn, but Carolyn reminds her that “it was never going to be bloodless.” Aaron’s data weapon was extremely dangerous and Carolyn did not want to take any chances, but she now leaves Eve with a very important choice, reminding her that she can’t play both sides.

Eve decides to leave and tells Carolyn that she plans on letting Kenny know about everything, but Carolyn turns the tables on Eve and reveals that Kenny was part of the cleanup operation. It now makes sense why Kenny tried to tell Eve not to go to Rome in the first place. It looks like Eve is on her own, but can she trust Villanelle to truly have her back now?

“What is it about her?”

After Carolyn confronts Eve, Villanelle gets her own visit from Konstantin, who tells her that he is there to save her. Villanelle tells him that she will not leave Eve behind and Konstantin asks, “What is it about her?” Villanelle explains that they are the same and they both end up choosing each other after discovering that they were played. Villanelle reminds Konstantin that she will find him and his family and we know that she is not a fan of being double crossed. Look out, Konstantin!

“You’re such a drama queen!”

When Villanelle goes looking for Eve, she finds Raymond waiting for her instead with an ax and she tells him, “You are the worst!” Villanelle’s fight with Raymond is entertaining enough, but Raymond actually manages to get her into a choke hold and Eve nervously picks up the ax to help save Villanelle. Villanelle tells her to do it over and over again and Eve finally strikes him with the ax in the shoulder.

Villanelle continues to struggle and tells Eve that she needs to hit him in the head. After battling her inner conscience, Eve finally follows through, as Villanelle watches with pleasure, realizing that she has now truly brought Eve over to the dark side with her. Will this connect them even more or will it drive a wedge between them? We’re about to find out…

“You’re mine!”

After fleeing from the scene, Villanelle tells Eve that they can go to Alaska together and have a normal life. She tells her that it is going to be amazing, but Eve suddenly realizes that Villanelle had a gun with her the entire time. She asks Villanelle why she didn’t use the gun on Raymond and now understands that Villanelle wanted her to kill him. Villanelle tells Eve, “I wanted you to know how it feels,” but Eve begins to walk away from her, not wanting to have any part of this Bonnie and Clyde adventure anymore. Eve claims that she is no longer afraid because now she is like Villanelle and tries to pull away after the two almost share a kiss.

Eve successfully pulls away and Villanelle tries to tell her that she loves her, but Eve reminds her that she doesn’t understand what love is. Our girl Villanelle always gets what she wants and tells Eve, “You’re mine,” right before shooting the gun. We cut to Eve’s body on the ground and it looks like Villanelle has just turned the tables on her. After all, Eve did stab her pretty brutally in the season one finale, so it only seems fair that Villanelle gets her chance to even the score in the season two finale. What does this mean for season three? Will Eve be OK? Is Villanelle finally done with her? So many questions and I can’t wait to find out what happens next! Stay tuned for season three!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists” season 1 episode 10: “Enter the Professor”

Greetings TV fans! After watching Freeform’s Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists season 1 episode 10 season finale, I learned that “just when everything’s going the way it’s supposed to,” something bad is bound to happen. That is, if you attend Beacon Heights University. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Enter the Professor,” everyone is glad that the threat is over after Jeremy is taken away in an ambulance, but is it really over? Meanwhile, Alison and Mona contemplate whether or not they should stay at Beacon Heights University, Dylan confronts a former bully, and Ava gets a surprise visitor. My top 5 moments from Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists season 1 episode 10 season finale are:

“Some puzzles are just not meant to be solved.”

That may be true, but Mona is not about to give up that easily. After it initially seems like the threat is over, Mona reveals to Alison that she never found out more about the list she discovered that connected several of our characters and Ray Hogadorn. Mona always senses when there is more to the story, but Alison suggests that perhaps it really isn’t meant to be solved. Only there are no coincidences when it comes to Rosewood or Beacon Heights University, as we are about to find out. This town may “breed drama,” but it’s not always easy to leave that behind, especially when your past is filled with it.

“I’m keeping my job.”

After Mona is fired by Claire, she is ready to pack up and get a fresh start, but Mason is not going to let her walk out just yet, revealing a secret that changes everything. Mona confronts Claire and tells her that she’s keeping her job and explains that she knows about how her and Mason “comforted each other” after Nolan’s death. Gross. Mona turns the tables on Claire, who agrees to reinstate Mona, which keeps our girl in Beacon Heights for now. Only Claire is always watching so Mona better watch her back for sure. Mona promises that the affair with Mason is over, but it’s clear that there are still unresolved feelings here. As much as I ship these two together, I don’t want Mona to get in any further trouble with Claire.

“I am nothing like you.”

When Ava returns to her room, she discovers that her father is there waiting for her. Ava is more than surprised to see him and he asks for his daughter’s help. Ava is supposed to pick up some package for her father, which he claims will help make everything right, but Dana Booker is on to her and reveals how much her father has actually stolen and says that he is using her. Ava connects the dots on her own and realizes what her father is up to.

She stands up for herself and refuses to turn over the information and her father tells her, “I’m sorry that I turned you into me.” Ava remains strong here and says that she is nothing like him and ends up returning the funds that were stolen to Zach’s family, along with several other clients. Dana seems impressed and I have to say that I am extremely proud of Ava’s actions here as well. Ava clearly loves her father so much, but she also knows right from wrong and she makes a huge decision here. I’m looking forward to seeing what she does next if we get a season two and I really hope we do!

“You can’t win the game if you don’t know the rules.”

After a somewhat uneventful start, our characters all receive invitations to the Crimson Society, which we learn is a rumored secret society on campus that can “make your dreams come true.” Our group shows up, not really knowing what to expect and are shocked when the television screen in front of them shows Taylor shooting Jeremy and how they all covered it up. Someone out there knows the truth and his or her name is…the professor!

The professor welcomes our characters to “the experiment, phase two” and we learn that he or she is the real person who killed Nolan, explaining that Jeremy was only doing surveillance, but he is not the real killer. We know that there are always more twists and turns in the PLL world and this spin-off continues to carry on with that tradition. The professor will be watching and our characters are about to be tested again. It looks like we have a lot to learn about the professor, who must actually really be a professor on campus, as Zach greets him or her while bringing over an order. Is it a professor we have already seen or someone new? I can’t wait to find out!

“I’m afraid of…”

At the end of the episode, our characters are tasked with revealing their greatest fears. Each character looks into the camera and reveals to the Professor this vulnerability. Alison is afraid that she is too broken to be fixed, but I have been thoroughly impressed with Alison’s character growth and she has really come so far. Plus, it will be interesting to see what she does next in the psychology department and the professor she is working for could be a suspect for sure. Caitlin states that she is afraid of failure, but she takes a huge step by telling her mother that she wants to stay at Beacon Heights University and I know that she is capable of proving herself here.

Ava says that she is afraid of turning into her father, but she has already shown that she has a generous and good heart. Dylan reveals that he is afraid of going home, but his talent is so incredible and it looks like his life may get even more complicated when his former bully reveals that he is gay as well. Finally, our girl Mona does not disappoint when she says that she is afraid of never finding out who the Professor is, accepting this challenge. What’s next for our characters? We’ll have to stay tuned to find out so hopefully we get a season 2 renewal announcement soon!

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Riverdale” season 3 episode 22: “Survive the Night”

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Riverdale season 3 episode 22 season finale, Jughead reminded us of a quote from Arthur Conan Doyle: “Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains…however improbable, must be the truth.” But what if the truth is even more frightening than the impossible? Please note MAJOR spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Chapter Fifty-Seven: Survive the Night,” Jughead, Betty, Archie, and Veronica come face to face with the real Gargoyle King, as they are put through a series of dangerous quests that threaten each of their lives. Meanwhile, Cheryl tries to get other members of the Farm to listen to reason and we learn a secret about Alice that could change everything. My top 5 moments from the Riverdale season 3 episode 22 season finale are:

“The true king was you…”

In the beginning of the episode, we cut right to the chase, as Jughead, Betty, Archie, and Veronica end up at some kind of creepy Murder Mystery Dinner Theater. We learn that Penelope “bought” Betty from Edgar after she learned about his harvesting organs scheme from Toni, but is Betty in even more danger now? As everyone exchanges confused looks, we meet two more guests and Penelope reminds them that there are “no masks at the dinner table.” Hal is the Black Hood and is very much alive and Chic is the Gargoyle King. Chic now has red hair and has been pretending to be Jason under Penelope’s twisted orders, but this was a very satisfying reveal. We learn that the true Gargoyle King is Penelope Blossom.

I originally suspected that the King was a Queen, but I put my money on the wrong Riverdale mother, but I was very pleased with this reveal. After all, the Red Dahlia can be extremely dangerous. Penelope reveals that Jughead and the others are featured players because they are all children of the original Midnight Club members and she’s looking to put their parents through the same trauma that she went through with Jason. We also learn that Sister Woodhouse was behind the deaths at the Sisters of Quiet Mercy, as all of the puzzle pieces begin to fit into place. And so the final quest begins…

“I don’t think I ever stopped loving you.”

Even though this episode is jam-packed with constant action and twists and turns, we do take a quick moment for Varchie to have a heart-to-heart talk. Now that their lives are in great danger, Archie tells Veroncia how he really feels about her and she says, “My heart ached for you,” revealing that nothing happened that night between her and Reggie. Varchie fans rejoice! And now back to the action…

“What kind of sick monster are you?”

Meanwhile, Cheryl tries to convince Fangs and Kevin that they are in great danger, but the organs that Betty discovered have been conveniently moved. Cheryl walks into a room and begins screaming, as she confronts Edgar and asks him, “What kind of sick monster are you?”

We later learn that Edgar was the one responsible for the grave digging, as he decided to reunite Jason Blossom’s corpse with his sister. Talk about twisted! Cheryl gets a lucky break when she works with an “angel in disguise,” as Alice finally comes to her senses and helps Cheryl escape with the remaining twin, recognizing that Betty needs help. It’s about time, Alice! Cheryl recruits the Serpents and Poisons and shows up to help protect her friends with her trusty bow and arrow. Go Cheryl!

“I’d start running if I were you…”

The most intriguing part of the episode for me was the actual final quest, as Penelope does not hold back. Jughead, Betty, Archie, and Veronica are left in the nature preserve and stumble upon a series of tests that are life threatening. We get a grizzly fight for Archie, a dangerous game of spin the bottle for Veronica, a battle of kings for Jughead, and a one bullet scenario for our girl, Betty. The trials had me on the edge of my seat, as our favorite characters desperately try to prevail while protecting one another. Penelope is amused and somewhat impressed by their performances, but she is not above taking matters into her own hands.

When Betty is presented with the “one bullet” task, she has to shoot her father before he shoots her and her friends. Betty shoots him, but Penelope appears and tells him that he was always a terrible serial killer, shooting Hal in the head right in front of his daughter. The threat is over for now, as Cheryl and the others step in to save the day and Betty and Veronica get the antidote to the poison from the chalices. Penelope and Chic are gone for now, but we know that things are never truly boring in Riverdale, as we are about to find out.

“To the future…”

Even though we get plenty of reveals during the season finale, the mystery is far from over. When Betty and the others return to the Farm, we discover that “the worthy ascended,” but they left Kevin behind. Alice and Polly are gone, but this isn’t even the most shocking part. An FBI agent comes to see Betty and we learn that Alice was actually an FBI informant, working with…her son, Charles. Charles is very much alive, but will he be able to find his mother now with Bughead’s help?

Meanwhile, Cheryl begins to bond with her brother, Jason. Yes, you heard me right. She welcomes Jason’s corpse back into her home, which is very disturbing. Hermione is arrested for the attempted murder of Hiram and Hiram reminds us, “You don’t even know what’s coming,” which couldn’t be more accurate. What else does he have planned from behind bars? I’m anxious to find out.

The most interesting twist happens at the very end of the season finale when Jughead, Betty, Archie, and Veronica make a pact to keep their lives drama free. However, we flash forward to spring break of their senior year and we see Archie, Betty, and Veronica standing over a fire, covered in blood. They burn Jughead’s hat and say that they will never speak of this. Talk about a major cliffhanger! Stay tuned for season 4 Riverdale fans! I can’t wait!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “Supernatural” season 14 episode 20: “Welcome to the End”

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 14 episode 20 season finale, I realized that stories can be dangerous, but what happens when the story is over? When there’s no glimmer of light left to maintain that last bit of hope? Can we write our own story or is the end clear cut? Please note major spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Moriah,” Sam and Dean are visited by an old friend, who claims he just wants to help, but does he? Meanwhile, Jack’s powers continue to impact the world and Castiel tries to get through to him before it’s too late. My top 5 moments from the Supernatural season 14 episode 20 season finale are:

“Takes one to know one.”

In the beginning of the episode, Sam and Dean try to track down Jack using every resource they can find and Dean comments that he is surrounded by nerds. However, Sam gently reminds him that he does watch Jeopardy every single night. I do too, Dean! I thought this was a clever way to keep a little bit of humor going, as there were so many dramatic and serious moments during the season finale. Glad to see that Dean is a nerd at heart for sure!

“It’s everywhere…”

Jack’s powers continue to spiral out of control, as he demands that everyone stop lying, which causes the entire world to spill the truth about everything. This can be extremely dangerous, especially when we learn that Sam’s favorite music artist is actually Celine Dion, not Elvis. Even the president’s lies are being revealed and Crowley gets a special shout out, when we learn that he actually made a deal with him once upon a time. Sam, Dean, and Castiel recognize that Jack must be behind this, but it looks like they may need some extra help to stop him.

“You’re my favorite show!”

Surprise…God, aka Chuck, is back! It looks like Castiel’s long distance phone call actually worked, as Chuck makes an appearance to help the Winchesters deal with the Jack situation. Chuck fixes the lying issue with a snap of his fingers, but his solution for Jack is much more complicated. Chuck presents them with a gun, but he is still working out its name. Personally I liked “The Equalizer.” Chuck explains that the gun will work in some kind of quantum leap way and eliminate Jack, but Dean breaks it down and says, “You kill him…you die.”

So who is going to be the one to shoot him and is there any other way? Castiel wants Chuck to help restore Jack’s soul, but Chuck reminds him that souls are tricky and messy, so it looks like they may not have a choice. Sam refuses to accept this and asks Chuck why it always has to fall on them. Chuck reveals that Sam and Dean are his favorites, but they are much more than a story, as this is life to them. Is Chuck actually helping or is he about to cause even more damage now with his intervention?

“I understand.”

Castiel finally reaches Jack and the two sit down to have a father-son talk. Jack reveals to Castiel that he feels empty and that if he were able to love, he would love him. Before Castiel can get much further, Dean approaches them with Chuck’s gun, but Castiel and Sam try to stop him. Jack faces Dean and simply says, “I understand,” recognizing Dean’s decision and what this means, which was absolutely heartbreaking.

Sam tries to get Dean to listen to reason, revealing that perhaps they are only playing out parts in Chuck’s story. Dean puts the gun down, which frustrates Chuck, who tries to convince him to shoot Jack, promising that he will bring back Mary. This moment was truly significant for Dean because we know how much Dean loves his mother and he would do anything for her, but even he recognizes that this is not right and that Mary would not want him to do that.

“Welcome to the end…”

After Dean turns Chuck down, Sam reminds him that “this isn’t just a story, it’s our lives.” Chuck replies with, “Have it your way” and begins killing Jack. Sam shoots Chuck, which stuns him and he officially welcomes them to the end. The sun is gone and Sam, Dean, and Castiel are surrounded by darkness, as they lean over Jack’s lifeless body. Jack wakes up in the Empty and Billie is there, so does this mean that perhaps this is not the end for Jack? Is Jack able to help or intervene somehow? I’m not sure, but we’ll have to wait and see. Sam, Dean, and Castiel have a lot to deal with as well, as the souls from hell are released upon the world. The last scene shows the undead surrounding them, as they all grab a suitable weapon, but they are definitely outnumbered here.

So what does this mean for our favorite characters? We will now be approaching the final season of SPN and anything goes. If all the souls have been released from hell, does that mean we could see Crowley in the final season? We know that Chuck is a storyteller, but what does this actually accomplish? Is he so fed up with his favorite characters that he is willing to sacrifice the world and start over? Is he threatened by Jack? I’m not sure, but it looks like Sam, Dean, and Castiel have a lot to deal with. Stay tuned for the final season of Supernatural and in the meantime, “Carry on my Wayward son!”

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on Supernatural in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!
