Goodbye to "Parenthood"
Ep 13, series finale:
Everybody on the phone arranging the wedding. Camille helping Amber and Sarah. Baby cries and Amber picks him up.
Adam on the phone. Max says hang up, this is an emergency. He talked to Hank and he has a job. I'm going to be the sole photographer at the wedding. And Hank said I should talk to you about what to do with the money.
Joel and Julia eating with the kids. She gets a call. Victor's social worker wants to see them tomorrow morning.
Hank comes to Zeke to ask for his blessing. Zeke tells him to have a seat. So, what would you like to say, Hank? Hank says he has Asperger's. Zeke says it's a surprise, and kinda explains a few things, but if Sarah is okay, he's okay. Sarah has taught him more about unconditional love. She's been all about giving her heart to those she cares about the most, so take care of my, my daughter. Be there for her. Hank says that will be his honor to do that. Never met anybody like her. I'll never stop loving her. And she wants to get married Saturday. This Saturday? What's the rush? Oh, right.... Okay, I get it.
Crosby and Jasmine visit Amber. Brought presents. A baby gift and food. Crosby has to tell her The Luncheonette is shutting down. What? Why? He says the truth is it's Adam. He didn't want to go for it like we did. So this is for you. He gives her a severance check. Says I'm sorry. She says it's not his fault. He did what he could. They hug.
Crosby at the luncheonette. Adam is packing. Crosby says he told Amber. And gave her the check. She didn't open it in front of me. Adam says just have to sign the dissolution papers. Crosby wants to read them first. Adam says he's sorry, but we're brothers, so can you stop treating me like someone you barely know.
Kristina and Max at a location, and it's raining. She says he needs to wear his suit. He says no, photographers don't wear suits. They need to be able to move.
Social worker has said something has come up with Victor's birth mother. She gave birth to a baby girl 3 days ago. And she wants to give it up for adoption, to you to have the option first. Victor has a half sister. Obviously, they're stunned!!
Joel and Julia discuss. We don't have anywhere to put another kid. We have to work on us. We can't throw another curve ball at the kids. Let's give it the weekend....
Hank and Drew. Hank came to the college to ask Drew to be his best man. I don't have any friends, but we've gotten to know each other and I like you. Just wondering, wanna be my best man at this thing? The wedding? Yeah, the wedding. You gotta hold on to the rings and don't lose 'em. Drew says thank you for asking. It was you of the UPS guy, LOL.
Adam at the school kitchen. Teaching them how to cut onions without crying. With goggles on. LOL. Crosby comes and sees. He brought the contract.
Sarah with Zeke out on the deck. Shows him baby pictures. He asks, have I told you you're my favorite? Dad.... You're my little girl. Getting married. Yeah, again. Hank came to see me for my blessing. Joel didn't even do that. I think he's the guy, Sarah. She says I wouldn't have found him if you hadn't let me come home. Thank you. He asks have I been a good father? The very best. They hold hands.

Crosby checks on Zeke. He's okay. Look at your sister. Crosby says it's hard to focus on something besides the Luncheonette. Zeke tells him the hell you can't do this without Adam. You can do this. I know so.
Haddie wants to talk to Max. She says she misses him. Can you look at me? It would've been easy to resent you, but I was totally wrong and I'm a better person for being your sister. You're weird and wonderful and I love you. Can we take a selfie?
So many family photos. Awwwww. Great shots. They're all way too goofy. Even Drew's girlfriend is there. Awwww, Zeke and Sarah. Camille and Zeke. We did good, didn't we? We sure did. And now a giant family portrait!
Zeke walks Sarah down the aisle. Hank's blue suit looks good. Julia's holding little Zeke. Hank and Sarah say their vows. Song playing over the scene, so we don't hear any of this.
The wedding party. Crosby asks Jasmine what she thinks about the business if it's just him. She supports him if that's what he wants. He wants it. Then we're back in business.
Max taking more photos, of Ruby and her friend. Her friend introduces herself. Lynn. Kristina says she was cute. He runs off.
Amber sitting alone. Baby sleeping. Camille and Zeke got her a baby glider. Zeke says we don't know what address to send it to. We picture the baby playing in the backyard. Wait, what are you suggesting? We want you to come live with us, Amber. No, you're serious? No, I couldn't....this is your big 3rd act. We'd ruin any peace you have. Camille says we talked about it and we want this. Zeke pulls Amber into a hug. You have to cook and stuff. Earn my keep? Okay.
Crosby and Adam. Crosby tells him I want to keep the Luncheonette open on my own. Rent the upstairs and keep the downstairs for myself. Adam says it's a really good idea. Crosby is shocked. Adam says it's a great idea. Thank you. They hug. Adam has a 2nd interview coming to sell water. Crosby says he hopes it makes him as happy as he was teaching those kids.
Drew gives a speech. Hank, I think you make a nice addition to our family. There are a lot of things to celebrate. A new baby. Grandpa being here. And my mom. Mom, I know you didn't have a lot of time to focus on yourself and I'm happy you found someone to be happy with because that's all I could ever want for you. So, cheers. Cheers!
More dancing. Hank asks Sarah when's everybody going home? He's having fun, but it'd be fun to be alone. I've never been crazy happy like this.
Crosby tells Amber the Luncheonette is open and she's the new Crosby. She's thrilled.
Julia and Joel. What are you thinking? He's thinking they never expected to adopt, and not an 8 year old boy, but look at him. Our family. He was up all night and kept thinking, she's Victor's sister. She's already ours. Julia really wants her. Me, too. So we're deciding? Awww, they're happy now.

#VampireDiaries Recap
Episode 12:
Liz asleep in bed. Caroline wakes up, hearing a noise. And again. She investigates. Goes downstairs. Broken window in the back door? There's a man there. The cancer patient came to her! She called Stefan. What the hell happened? How did he find you? She doesn't know. Did your mom sign the house over to you? Stefan moves the curtains. Colin is a vampire. Which means he died.
Elena getting ready in the morning. Kai is unconscious in a medical bed. Damon arrives. Brought breakfast. And Elena has a new daylight ring. She tells him to be supportive. Alaric is out of town to get a mystical thing for Jo. Elena gives him instructions for babysitting. He asks her if she's free for tonight. Eggplant, an art flick. Wait, we've gone on this date before. Damon, that's cheating, you already know everything about me. So where would you like to start? At the beginning. I'm off at 6, you can pick me up then.
Liv and Tyler in bed. Figuring out somewhere to spend Spring Break. Someone knocks. Olivia's dad! They rush to dress and she tells Tyler to hide. Her dad is early. He gives her a birthday present.
Jo at the hospital. She tries a spell on a plant to bring it back to life, and it doesn't work. Elena says her ring works, though. Stefan brings Colin in. Jo and the group look at Colin's scans. We have a Stage 10 cancer patient, which doesn't exist, and he's a vampire that can't die. The poor man's brain is riddled with tumors. Damon asks why they're here for Colin the cancer vamp. Caroline and Liz arrive. She says Caroline fed me her blood and the same thing is going to happen to me.
Stefan finds Elena outside. No news yet. Did you know Caroline was going to give her mom vampire blood? He says he didn't want to take the hope from Caroline. Caroline comes out and says Jo has an idea.
Jo thinks a full transfusion of human blood might stabilize Liz. Damon tells her to sound more confident.
Liv and Luke's birthday is in 2 weeks. They're going to convince Dad to let Kai and Jo do the merge. Liv tells Tyler he can't talk to her father. To trust her. Don't worry, you're not gonna lose me.
Damon waiting for Elena. Jo's still running tests on Liz. Damon says he and Liz are pretty close. Elena says if we can fix this, we will. Jo comes out.
Stefan finds Caroline. Coffee machine is broken. Stefan suggests she needs blood. Caroline is so guilty. Why did I feed her that blood? He says she's an optimist and that's what your mom needs to hear right now. They hear a scream. Colin trying to kill himself. Why can't I die? I'm in agony! I can hear my tumors growing. You want to help me? Help me die. Damon rips his heart out. Says the blood transfusion didn't work. So you didn't just kill him, Blondie. Caroline says it's fine, he's saying what everyone is thinking - I killed my Mom.
Elena calls Caroline's phone. Visits Liz. So, what's the verdict? She tells Liz we're not sure, yet. Liz says you shouldn't lie to sick people. It didn't work. I'm sorry. How's Caroline? She took off and I can't find her. Liz says Caroline won't forgive herself for this. Elena promises to find her.
Caroline at a flower shop. She tells Stefan about the choices for a memorial service. Don't say something to make me feel better. He says I wasn't. And your mother is still alive, by the way. Caroline says it still needs to be done, so which arrangement? Stefan said you did it out of love. Are you going to bury your head in the sand? Caroline says I don't know what to say. I can't face her. Stefan says his mother got really sick and I avoided her. I picked her favorite flowers and got the tea she liked, but I was afraid to see her like that. My father sent her away and she died. I'd give anything to spend one more day with her. Your mother just wants you to be with her. They leave.
Liv and Luke told their father. The coven will die if the leader dies. Dad, Jo can do this. Give her a chance. Luke says I'll win and killing my own sister. I can't do that to her.
Damon finds Tyler messing with Kai. Grabs him by the throat. Tyler says Liv's dad is in town. Damon says I'm not letting you walk out with him. Then says I could kiss you right now you beautiful moron. He drugs Tyler.
Damon calls Liv. Come up with a Hail Mary. Put your dad on the phone. She hands it over. Damon asks if a Mercury-Venus conjunction work? Kai's waking up. Tries to do a spell. Damon says, All that magic drained away while you slept. But I need a magic siphon and you're the only game in town. Kai gets out of bed. Alright, let's discuss my fee.
Kai washes up at the hospital. Suck the magic out of Liz right now. He puts his hands on Liz. Jo walks in. Ooops. Elena says Damon will explain.
Damon tells her. Jo asks what's the price? He wants to merge tonight.
Kai says there, all done. Liz starts having a heart attack. Kai disappears.
Jo says she can't merge tonight. Not ready. Damon knows. Says it's all arranged. Kai breaks his neck. Jo says she's not running anymore. Kai grabs her hand.
Liv and Luke find their dad outside. He says he's proud of them. So you'll think about what we asked? Of course. We're in this together. We're family. He takes their hands and chants. Merging them now. Liv and Luke beg him to stop. Tyler attacks her dad. Liv stops him. Luke says, do you trust me? I'll be back soon. Promise. Tyler hugs Liv.
Kai brings Jo to a park. She says let's get this over with. Kai says if this is a set-up, I'll rip out something more important than your spleen. She says you destroyed my life, now I'm going to destroy yours. She starts the spell. They chant. Wind blows around them. Jo falls unconscious. Luke did it. You're going to merge with me. Kai laughs. We're not twins, little brother. True, but we share the same bloodline and we're the same age. So, we're going to give it the old college try. Kai refuses. But Luke makes him. Kai says fine, it's your funeral.
Elena doing CPR on Liz. Damon comes in. She says find a doctor now!
Luke and Kai merging. Jo wakes up. Their eyes go white. And then they fall. Jo goes to Luke. Pleads with him to wake up.
Doctor uses the paddles to shock Liz. She's in a memory. Packing photos and things. Caroline, I'm leaving. You want to say goodbye? Doctor says she's gone. Damon compels him to leave. Elena resumes compressions. Caroline and Stefan arrive. She pushes Elena out of the way and pleads with her mother to stay.
Liz tells Caroline it's time for me to go. Caroline turns around and she's in vamp face with blood all over her. Liz gasps awake. Caroline sobs on her. Liz comforts her. It's okay, I'm right here.
Elena leaves the room. Damon goes after her. She kisses him. So you want to start over? This is where we left off. She says I don't care, I don't want to waste another minute. They kiss again.
Caroline sitting with her mother. Liz asks if she's okay? Caroline's been trying to figure out what to say. Liz says this wasn't your fault. Stop beating yourself up. Can you do that for me? Okay. I will. Mom, you put the house in my name. A couple weeks ago. Just in case... Caroline says she's not ready for that, yet. Liz says I'll stick around as long as I can. They hug. Stefan arrives. Brought coffee. Liz asks for a decaf latte. Caroline leaves. Liz asks Stefan to promise something. Caroline will need you when I'm gone. Someone to make her smile. Promise me you'll so that, Stefan. He takes her hand and promises. Caroline hears.
Jo pleads with Luke. Damon arrives. Glad to see Jo is alive. She tells him Luke merged with Kai. Jo says whoever wakes up is the winner. Luke gasps.
Liv trying to call Luke. Her dad wakes. What has your brother done?
Luke dies with his eyes open.
Dad says Luke is gone. Kai won. Luke is gone. We have to run, Olivia! She says no. Tyler says she's staying with me. Dad says if you change your mind, you know where to find us.
Jo grieves over Luke. Says he's gone. He saved me and he's gone. Kai is up. I always win. He disappears.
Next ep - Bonnie's going to kill herself.
Liz asleep in bed. Caroline wakes up, hearing a noise. And again. She investigates. Goes downstairs. Broken window in the back door? There's a man there. The cancer patient came to her!

Episode 4:
Train yard. Jarvis paying some thugs. 3 guys outside as guards. Jarvis is told to give more money. A smuggler deal.
A guard checks out a rail car. Peggy knocks him out. The other 2 come investigating and she takes them out, too. All in a dress.
Jarvis says he doesn't agree to extortion. They insist. So he presses a button on the briefcase. They open it and a gas takes out one. Peggy knocks out the other.
Their package is Howard Stark! He asks how they're getting along. Peggy asks why he came. He says he'll explain at the house. She spots 2 agents and tells Jarvis to take a left. He asks where can I hide? She says take a right up ahead. They stop at The Griffith.
Peggy sneaks him in the building. She tells him to get in the dumbwaiter. Miriam finds Peggy. The hours you keep worry me. Do you know how many men I've caught in that dumbwaiter? She insists on walking Peggy to her room.
Chief and Thompson at the office. They don't know where the signals go from the typewriter. Chief wants to go to Germany. Nobody wants to talk about what really happened in Finhau. He leaves Thompson in charge.
Miriam and Peggy. Miriam says young women do not know how to govern their own impulses. Your laundry? Peggy gets a sack from the dumbwaiter. No Howard. Miriam leaves her. Howard is in another girl's room already. 3B. He has lipstick all over his face.
Howard wants to order room service. She says there is none. And he's bound for Rio in 3 days. How many of my devices have you recovered? She asks why not have Jarvis ask me. Howard has a pen camera. Heh.
Thompson calls a meeting. Says he's in charge and none of you will be resting. Form a single file to my office to get your assignments. Sousa and Peggy talk. He wants to check out the public phone. Peggy is told to get lunch orders.
She visits the lab. And starts taking photos with the pen. The scientist says Howard Stark is either an ignoramus or a genius. She says most likely both.
Sousa at the dock. Chats with a couple guys. Homeless guys. Did you see anything? One says he wasn't there. The other, Frank, gets arrested.
Mr. Mink is not happy with his goons. Kills them with a rotating barrel pistol. The actual model would be a muzzle-loader. A bit of TV magic on this one.
Peggy returns home. No Howard. He's in a different room with a different girl. Peggy says he's disgusting.
Sousa brings Frank in. Tells Thompson the man may have seen something. The agents mock him.
Peggy and Howard look at the negative. Angie's knocking. Howard tells her she should go. But bring back some food.
Sousa talks to Frank. I walk into a diner and everyone starts clapping. For me in my dress uniform. And then another GI walks in. And no one claps. They clapped for my leg and my crutch. Clapping because I make them feel guilty. We're both people nobody cares about. Frank says no one clapped for me. We all got sad stories, but I still don't talk to cops, even pathetic ones. Sousa leaves the room. Thompson listened. Sousa says the guy would say so if he didn't see something, so he saw something.
Angie and Peggy. The girls sneak food from the dining hall. Peggy goes back to her room. Howard says I need you to steal one of my inventions from your lab.
Every invention can cause large scale destruction. The Blitzkrieg Button will cut out all the power and the lights won't come back on. The grid gets destroyed. Howard says he's the only one that can deactivate it. He tells Peggy to not let anyone touch that device. Hands her a mock-up to swap.
She meets up with Jarvis.
Thompson comes in on Sousa's interrogation with food and booze. Eating and drinking in front of Frank. Sousa tells him he should leave. Thompson says this is yours if you tell us what you know. Frank says a fancy guy and a woman got off the boat. That's all....he hid when the cops came.
Nuremburg Prison - Chief meets with the Nazi. Do you know these men? They're Russians said to have died in Finhau. Tell me what happened at that battle and I'll help you escape.
Peggy and Jarvis. Jarvis is nervous. She says you don't think Howard would use it, do you? Of course not. A car is following them.
Chief and the Nazi. Chief offers him cyanide. Now tell me about the Battle. There was no battle. No German fought a Russian there. We found a massacre. Whoever attacked them was long gone. Chief doubts the story. Nazi insists. Chief gives him a pill. He leaves and offers the guard a breath mint. Ha!
Thompson tells Sousa he did good today.
Peggy sneaks into the lab and does the swap. Leaves the lab. She looks at the device. Uses the switch and opens it. There's a vial inside of blood?? She goes in a room and....runs into Thompson. He says only the men had to stay late. He asks why she works here. He says you're hiding something. And no man will ever consider you an equal. It's how the universe works. She says she can always rely on him to tell the truth. Goodnight.
Peggy goes home and asks Howard what's in the vial. Okay, you're angry. She says she's curious. He says you know, we both know. She says I don't. Tell me. He says Steve Roger's blood. She punches him.
Mr. Mink followed her home. He enters the lobby. Brought flowers. For Peggy. Miriam says he can't deliver them. Are you the delivery man or suitor? He says he loves her. Then leaves.
Peggy and Howard argue. She's angry. He says I grew up on the Lower East Side. You don't climb without learning some bad habits. My natural instinct is to lie, and I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you. 1 vial went to Howard. The gov't has 11. He thinks Captain America's blood holds the key to saving millions of people. She accuses him of only looking for profit. Steve Rogers dedicated his life to this country. So thank you for reminding me who he was and what I aspire to be.
Mr. Mink went through the ventilation shaft. He's on the 3rd floor. Dotty kills him and takes his pistol! Oh damn!
Peggy is joined on the street by Jarvis. She tells him he's a bad liar. He says he and Howard respect her. She isn't interested. Jarvis isn't happy with Howard. Stan Lee borrows the sports section of the paper from him.
Sousa colors the photo of the woman to darken her hair.
Chief returns. He tells Thompson what the Nazi said. Thompson shows him a record of Howard on a plane. Chief says we got ourselves a conspiracy.
Peggy returns home and turns the radio on loud.
Dotty in 3F. Mink is under her bed. She's very happy to have his pistol.
Peggy pounds a hole in her wall to hide the vial.
Chief sees the typewriter activate.
Next ep - Peggy gets a mission to Russia. With the Howling Commandos.

Coming Soon - NBC's #Allegiance
Allegiance
You're going to see a lot of comparisons between Allegiance and The Americans. Both are about Russian spies living in America and trying to avoid being caught by the FBI. FX’s The Americans came out first. So should viewers think NBC’s Allegiance is ripping off the cable drama?
Not at all, producers say.
Allegiance centers around a young, idealistic CIA analyst who is unaware that his parents as well as his sister are part of a dormant Russian sleeper cell that has just been reactivated.
“Watch one or two episodes and I think it’s pretty clear that we’re going in a different direction,” EP George Nolfi said Friday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. “This is, fundamentally a family drama about people who really do not want to be spies. They’re forced into this situation. That’s just an extremely different setup and then where we take it is really different, as well.”
Scott Cohen also noted that Allegiance is “dealing with an imminent danger” and “a post-9/11 generation” in its central character of Alex, “which is a bit different than what The Americans is.”
Added star Gavin Stenhouse, “A lot of shows, I feel, have superficially similar premises. They’re based on similar things, but they’re a different emotional journey for the viewer. It’s born out of a completely different equation of actors and writers.”
Allegiance is based on an Israeli format, The Gordin Cell, which came out in 2012—one year before The Americans.

You're going to see a lot of comparisons between Allegiance and The Americans. Both are about Russian spies living in America and trying to avoid being caught by the FBI. FX’s The Americans came out first. So should viewers think NBC’s Allegiance is ripping off the cable drama?
Not at all, producers say.
Allegiance centers around a young, idealistic CIA analyst who is unaware that his parents as well as his sister are part of a dormant Russian sleeper cell that has just been reactivated.
“Watch one or two episodes and I think it’s pretty clear that we’re going in a different direction,” EP George Nolfi said Friday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. “This is, fundamentally a family drama about people who really do not want to be spies. They’re forced into this situation. That’s just an extremely different setup and then where we take it is really different, as well.”
Scott Cohen also noted that Allegiance is “dealing with an imminent danger” and “a post-9/11 generation” in its central character of Alex, “which is a bit different than what The Americans is.”

This high-octane thriller revolves around the O'Connor family and their son, Alex (Gavin Stenhouse), a young idealistic CIA analyst specializing in Russian affairs. Unbeknownst to him, both of his parents and his sister are part of a dormant Russian sleeper cell that has just been reactivated.
Years ago, Russian-born Katya (Hope Davis) was tasked by the KGB to recruit American businessman Mark O'Connor (Scott Cohen) as a spy, and the two fell in love. A deal was struck: as long as Katya remained an asset for Russia, she would be allowed to marry Mark and move to America. After years in America building a happy life and without word from Moscow, they thought they had escaped. Now it seems the new Mother Russia has one more mission - turning Alex into a spy. The SVR (Russian Intelligence) has re-enlisted the entire family into service as they plan a terrorist operation inside U.S. borders that will bring America to its knees. For these anguished parents, the choice is clear: betray their country... or risk their family.
The series also stars Margarita Levieva (Natalie O'Connor), Morgan Spector (Victor Dobrynin), Kenneth Choi (Sam Luttrell) and Alex Peters (Sarah O'Connor).
Based on an Israeli format, "Allegiance" is a production of Universal Television, Keshet Media and Yes! and comes from Executive Producer, Showrunner and Producing Director George Nolfi ("The Adjustment Bureau") and Executive Producers Avi Nir, John Glenn, Rashad Raisani, Ron Leshem, Amit Cohen, Giyora Yahalom, and Yona Wisenthal.

Agent Carter - Episodes 1 and 2 Recaps and Review
Agent Carter Premieres!
It's 1946 and peace has dealt Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy finds herself stuck doing administrative work when she would rather be back out in the field, putting her vast skills into play and taking down the bad guys. But she is also trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life, Steve Rogers – aka Captain America. When old acquaintance Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper, “Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger”) finds himself being framed for unleashing his deadliest weapons to anyone willing to pony up the cash, he contacts Peggy -- the only person he can trust -- to track down those responsible, dispose of the weapons and clear his name. He empowers his butler, Edwin Jarvis (James D'Arcy), to be at her beck and call when needed to help assist her as she investigates and tracks down those responsible for selling these weapons of mass destruction. If caught going on these secret missions for Stark, Peggy could be targeted as a traitor and spend the rest of her days in prison – or worse.
“Marvel’s Agent Carter” stars Hayley Atwell (“Captain America: The First Avenger,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”) as Agent Peggy Carter, James D'Arcy (“Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World”) as Edwin Jarvis, Chad Michael Murray (“One Tree Hill,” “A Cinderella Story”) as Agent Jack Thompson, Enver Gjokaj (“Dollhouse”) as Agent Daniel Sousa, and Shea Whigham (“American Hustle,” “The Wolf of Wall Street”) as Chief Roger Dooley.

Monday TV - Jan. 5, 2015: Sleepy Hollow and State of Affairs
Monday TV - First week of January
Sleepy Hollow episode 2.12 http://www.fox.com/sleepy-hollow
"Paradise Lost"
Reeling from the events of their standoff with Moloch, Ichabod and Abbie encounter an angel, Orion, that they believe can help them. Meanwhile, Katrina searches for the humanity in Abraham in the all-new "Paradise Lost" episode of SLEEPY HOLLOW airing Monday, Jan. 5 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (SLH-212) (TV-14 L, V)
My thoughts - Nice to see Max Brown (Orion) again. He played Evan on "Beauty and the Beast" season 1. And Frank Irving is back! Hawley turning his attentions toward Jenny without closure on his attraction to Abby first was weird.
State of Affairs episode 1.7 http://www.nbc.com/state-of-affairs
"Bellerophon"
Photos of national landmarks featuring the är rissãlah symbol surface. Payton must make a decision.
While Mo takes over the presidential briefing, things heat up when Charlie and Nick head to Yemen to track Fatah.
My thoughts - Man, I love this show. Continues to surprise and intrigue me, and I love that they're incorporating current real-world issues in the writing. Casting surprise: Cress Williams as an FBI agent. I've been used to seeing him as Mayor Lavon Hayes on "Hart of Dixie", so hearing him speak without a Southern accent was weird. Glad he's found work outside the 10 episode current HoD season (probably its last).

Galavant - Episodes 1 and 2
Galavant Premieres!
"Galavant" premiered on Sunday, January 4 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) with two 30 minute episodes back-to-back on the ABC Television Network.
My take - So much fun! It's in the vein of The Princess Bride and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Loved it. (Knew I would.) The Mister doesn't like musicals, but he is a fan of the aforementioned movies and Monty Python, and laughed during Galavant, too.
Joshua Sasse is yummy. This man definitely needs to stay on TV.
Screenwriter/executive producer Dan Fogelman (Crazy, Stupid, Love, Tangled, Cars) teams up with a Broadway and Hollywood award-winning musical team -- composer Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast) and lyricist Glenn Slater (Tangled) -- for a 4-week comedy extravaganza.
Once upon a time, the dashing hero, Galavant (Joshua Sasse) lost the love of his life, Madalena (Mallory Jansen), to the evil King Richard (Timothy Omundson). Now, our fallen hero is ready to take revenge and restore his “happily ever after.” But it won’t be without a few twists and turns along the way.
Galavant stars Joshua Sasse as Galavant, Timothy Omundson as King Richard, Vinnie Jones as Gareth, Mallory Jansen as Madalena, Karen David as Isabella, and Luke Youngblood as Sid.
"Pilot" (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET) - When heroic, charming and handsome Sir Galavant loses his true love, the beautiful Madalena, to evil King Richard's wealth and power, he falls into a deep and drunken despair. Just as our hero hits rock bottom, Princess Isabella shows up with a quest to save her kingdom, defeat the despicable King Richard, and provide an opportunity for Galavant to reclaim Madalena. Galavant is off to become a hero again and strike a blow for true love...but first, Galavant has to fit into his old hero pants.
"Joust Friends" (8:30-9:00 p.m. ET) - Galavant enters a jousting tournament against a boastful rival, Sir Jean Hamm (guest star John Stamos), to test his return to heroic form (and win some much-needed traveling money and a really nice rooster). But it quickly becomes clear that Galavant is a long shot to win. Meanwhile, King Richard asks Gareth to help him become a bit more macho so that Madalena won't despise him quite so much.
