Brothers & Sisters Episode 3-9

bros3-9.jpg

TV.com: Unfinished Business - Nora recruits the family to deconstruct her new charity money pit; Kitty & Robert take a huge & overwhelming step in adoption; Sarah takes a big risk with her new business partners by eating crows; Holly pushes Tommy to his limits when she does something in the winery without consulting him.

-

Recap & Review: It has been two weeks since the last episode of Brothers & Sisters. Last week, ABC aired the American Music Awards. This series always has full episodes with everyone getting their attention. Let’s jump right in. This week, we start with Nora in the new home she has purchased for her project. She is ready to move on with her project, but there is a big problem.

The house needs a lot of work, and the contractor wants to charge too much. Her great idea is to have the family do the work that will cost too much to be done. No one seems too keen on that idea though. They do help out though, but they complain every step of the way, especially Kevin. The job is definitely too much for them. At Walker Landing, Rebecca goes to a meeting with her mom, and she gives some good input. Holly is so pleased with her ideas that she offers Rebecca a promotion in the advertising at Walker Landing.

Tommy isn’t there to approve of it though, and when she goes by the house to tell everyone about it, none of them seem too keen on the idea. Justin makes a particularly hurtful comment that forces Rebecca to leave. Rebecca isn’t too sure about this job either, and she talks to her mother about it. She knows she doesn’t have any experience, but Holly assures her she does. Things don’t go bad until Tommy returns from his trip. He is obviously upset because he fired his own brother from the company, and now Holly has hired someone new in. These two are heading towards a battle. In fact, Tommy wants her out, and he goes to Sal for help to do that.

As for Sarah, she is moving forward with her job and helping her employers find more funding. There is a problem though. The man that comes to her home to meet with them is a man from her past, her not too distant past. He now works at another company, and he is in charge of her final future with her new job. Just by the look on her face, she isn’t too happy about this, and we can all understand why. Who would want their ex in charge of something important to them and their future?

The meeting goes well, but Graham wants to know more, and he wants dinner with Sarah. She can’t say no because it would hurt the company. At dinner, he gives her a deal for the company, but he also wants her back. When she goes to tell her bosses about the deal, they feel like she sold them out. She gets a job with the company, but they get virtually no say in the company at all. They definitely feel wronged here. After talking to Kitty and her mother at the home, she goes back to Graham the next day and she declines his offer. She then has to go back and get back in her employer’s good graces.

As for Kitty and Robert, the adoption is back on. The birth mother who was originally interested wants them to adopt her baby again. Robert has some reservations, but they finally move forward, and by the end of the season we should a new Walker baby in the family. Another amazing episode with this series. No one is left out. Everyone does something, and the show moves forward from week to week. What did you think of this week’s episode of Brothers and Sisters? For your daily tv listings, check here .

Fringe Episode 1-9

fringe1-9.jpg

TV.com: The Dreamscape - A Massive Dynamic employee leaps to his death after hallucinating a butterfly attack. Agent Scott proves useful in investigating the case, but a frustrated Olivia wants to remove him from her consciousness once and for all. Meanwhile, Peter deals with some enemies from his past.

-

Recap & Review: Fringe is really starting to win me over. I never thought I would say that after the first few episodes, but I stuck with the series to see what was next. It comes from the brain of JJ Abrams, and I have loved everything he has done over the years since Felicity. My main problems with this series have to do with Olivia, but this week’s episode showed us a passionate Olivia, and that is something new. Perhaps they need to make her crazy more often.

This week, a man employed by Massive Dynamics dies after seeing a swarm of butterflies and feeling them attack him. When they come at him, he ends up crashing through a window and to his death. Olivia and her team are brought in, and Walter goes to work on his body. Apparently, the wounds covering his body appear to have come from the inside out and not from some outside force. Walter thinks some drug has been given to him that made him hallucinate everything.

As for Olivia, she keeps seeing John Scott, and she feels close to losing her mind. He leads her to a shed full of frogs, and she is wondering if she needs time off in order to clear her head. However, she doesn’t get her wish. Walter calls her and he thinks frogs are connected to the man’s death. This leads her to tell him what lead her to finding the frogs. He thinks somehow she still has John’s memories in her head, and she pushes him to put her back under in the tank. She wants to find out the connection between John and the man that died.

Once she goes under, she first sees her first date with John, and there is a moment where she thinks John sees her. Walter tells her that this is impossible. Next, she sees a meeting with four men. One of them being John, and the other being the man that died. She watches John kill the third, and the fourth leaves. She knows he is still alive. When she is brought out, her mission is to find this man. After an extensive search, they do, and they are able to stop him from being killed.

In the hospital, he tells her all about Massive Dynamic, and how it is one big hoax. It is a front for the company and those involved to do whatever they want. There is no pattern. He says he will give her proof and tell her more for protection. However, when she leaves he suffers a similar fate as John slices his throat open in a hallucation. Their witness is gone. When Olivia asks Walter to put her under again, he will not do it. There is too much of a risk to her. When she checks her email though, there is another from John. Despite what Walter says, John’s email says he did see her in the restaurant in that dream world.

A minor subplot of this episode surrounded Peter and a woman from his past. He is hiding from someone, and she tells him if he stays in Boston they will find him. He discovers she is being abused though, and this is something he handles with a confrontation with the man responsible. This was a decent episode for Fringe. Olivia was lively this week, and I’d like to see more of this. Walter and Peter took a smaller role this week as the focus was on her. This would normally bore me with how lifeless her character usually is, but that wasn’t the case this week. What did you think of this week’s episode? For your daily listings, check here .

The Sarah Connor Chronicles Episode 2-10

tscc2-10.jpg

TV.com: Strange Things Happen at the One Two Point - Sarah catches up with the Turk. Jesse faces some problems in her plans. Ellison has a surprise meeting with someone powerful through Weaver.

-

Recap & Review: With an explosive season premiere that lead to only a so-so season up to recently, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is picking up speed the further we get into the season. With last week’s episode showing Cromartie being given to Weaver, the three dots and Derek making his own revelations about the future and its connection to the present, I am full involved in seeing where this series goes. However, there is still the pending possibility that this series will not see a third season, especially with the show being moved to Friday night.

This week, Sarah is still seeing the three dots wherever she looks, and she is determined to find out what they mean. They lead her to a tech start-up called Dakara that is building an AI. With the help of John, she is able to get a meeting with the start-up as a potential investor. She takes in Cameron for the meeting with the man and his son. It the teen that created the program, and Sarah thinks he created it using the Turk. She forms a small bond with the boy’s father, and he leads her to believe that their hard drives were stolen the night before. There is no way of telling this is the case with what happens next.

Sarah gives them the money they need to buy a new chip from another Japanese man. All seems well with the chip at first, but it fails to run the program. This means Sarah has been played, and she lost all of their money. She goes after the man that sold them the chip, but he says he was just an actor. The man behind Dakara is responsible. Sarah goes after him, and we learn that there was no chip. The man just made it all up for them to get the money from Sarah. He wanted to make sure his son was provided for because they wouldn’t make the deadline for a government contract with the air force. Sarah does get her money back.

There was more to this episode though. Derek is still with Jessie, and we learn there is more to her. When she is caught with pictures of John and Derek, she is forced to tell him that her mission is Cameron. She had no idea Derek was with John and staying with them both. We also learn something quite shocking. Riley is also from the future, and she is working with Jessie. She was sent in to get close to John. She has been playing him all along, which is going to only be one big heartbreak when he does find out.  It does seem Riley cares for him though.

As for Ellison, last week he gave Weaver Cromartie as I mentioned. This week, we see Dr. Sherman killed by the AI Weaver is creating. Ellison is asked to look into the man’s death. He even interviews the AI. As for Weaver, she continues to work on the program and by the end of the episode, we see her AI implanted in Cromartie’s body. We have our first robot terminator in the making.

This series really is picking up speed as we go on, and this episode only moved us forward. The revelations about Riley and Jessie will only make things more interesting in the weeks to come. What did you think of this week’s episode of The Sarah Connor Chronicles? For daily listings, check here .

Californication Episode 2-9

californication_-_ep_2x09_cu_isa_60_122_649lo.jpg

TV.com: La Ronde - Hank refuses an offer. Karen and Ashby go on a date. Charlie and Daisy get to know each other better.

-

Recap & Review: We know that season two is coming to close soon, and this means Hank will have something big happen to him. This is just a fact of life. This episode starts with a look at Marcy, Charlie’s wife. She is in rehab finally, and she is trying to make amends with her friends. Apparently, there was a waiter at the airport with some cocaine, and after a little make out session with him, the drugs became more important. Charlie didn’t want to hear about this though. Maybe there is a little guilt there over he sleeping with Daisy. It wouldn’t be his first affair though.

During the episode, we do see Charlie and Daisy get closer. She is helping out at Marcy’s salon, and when she has a date with someone else she leaves and then comes back to spend the night with Charlie watching Dirty Dancing. After the movie, these two talk, and we see them definitely get closer. By the end of the night, the two of them are dancing together. No Marcy in sight. No Marcy on Charlie’s mind. He actually looks happy here.  Even with it being wrong to cheat, I actually like these two together more than I like Marcy and Charlie together.

As for Hank, he is continuing to work on Ashny’s ex. He even asks her out like she told him too. However, when he tells Lew he is seeing her that night, Lew has a big problem it. It is Friday night, and that is date night. He doesn’t want Hank dating his ex. Hank goes anyway, and Lew decides to get a little revenge. He arranges a night out for him and Karen with a private concert at the Hollywood Bowl. A date of his own. However, when he tries to pursue more with her, she backs off from him.

The same happens with Hank and his own date. Janie and him go to an art show, and they even meet up with Sonja and her boyfriend. He even makes a pass for a little orgy, but Janie says no dice. She isn’t interested, and neither is Hank. However, Janie is interested in a little one on one with Hank. Shockingly, he shuts her down and he goes to find Karen. She’s just arriving from her own night out, but she won’t tell Hank where she had been. The two share a few words, and before we can even realize it the two of them are kissing. They fall into bed, and he tells her all about how he shut down this woman. However, something happens here. Karen finds a mysterious painful lump. This is where the episode ends.

So are Hank and Karen back together or are they doomed to just keep messing around for the rest of their lives? Never really together, but never really apart either. It is hard to know what will happen. There is no doubt the two of them have some type of connection to each other, and it is more than just the daughter the two of them share. What did you think of this week’s episode of Californication?

True Blood Season 1 Finale

12-1.jpg

TV.com: You’ll Be the Death of Me - Sookie finds a connection to the murders in Bon Temps. Jason finds a new goal in life. Bill tempts fate, continuing to find a way to rescue Sookie from harm. Sam is troubled by a familiar face from his past.

-

Recap & Review: Well, here we are. The final episode of the first season of True Blood. When I first watched the series, I went in with no expectations. It was simply a new show airing, and I had a free hour to check it out. I hadn’t read the books, and I hadn’t much about the series until the weekend it premiered. I reviewed the premiere, but I really didn’t plan to cover the whole season. My plans changed because by the end of the first episode I was hooked. I wasn’t the only one.

HBO saw something explode with this series about a small town in Louisiana where vampires live in a world that vampires are accepted as a part of every day life. By the end of the second episode, HBO knew this series was a keeper. A second season was ordered. This series came from the same man behind Six Feet Under, and with that highly popular series under his belt, he brought in his own fans, and even more. Helped by Twilight and the vampire myth, True Blood has become a huge hit, and there is talk that it even has a bigger first season than long time HBO staple, The Sopranos.

Last week, Sookie went in search of the killer, and she knows she is close to finding him. However, another body turned up dead with Jason the only possible suspect. He even suspected himself, so he turned himself in and confessed. However, Sookie knows he isn’t the one that did it, and we know now who the killer is. A man named Drew Matthews, who just happens Rene, Jason’s best friend. He killed every woman Jason said had sex with a vampire. However, no one in town knows this.

It doesn’t take long for them to find out though. Once Sookie finds out Jason in jail, she goes to him and then she goes to the bar to work. Not the best idea because of the talk of the town in Jason’s arrest. She soon leaves and decides to head home. When her car doesn’t start, Rene is nice enough to offer her a ride. However, his kindness isn’t that at all. In her kitchen, she reads his mind and she knows he killed her grandmother. She wasn’t meant to die. Sookie tries to get the gun and shoot him, but he has the bullets. She hits him with it instead, and run out. He chases her through the cemetery, and Bill wakes up while this is happening.

He braves the sun to help her, but it isn’t he that saves her. Sam recognizes the killer’s scent, and he rushes to Sookie’s. He turns into a dog and makes it there in time. However, Rene starts to beat him. While this is happening, Sam turns back to human, and this sets Rene off even more. However, Sookie wakes up and she grabs a shovel. In a quick moment, she kills him. The killer is no more. Sookie is black and blue, and Bill is burned to a crisp. Sam buries him, and we think Bill is dead.

Jason is released, and Tara even shows up. Not sure how she managed to pop back up out of nowhere. She has been staying with Marianne after the woman took her from jail. That whole deal is too good to be true. There is something about her, and Sam even knows her somehow. She also knows Sam is a dog. Sookie is now safe though, and she feels Bill is dead. However, he is not. He feeds on Lafayette, and he returns to her home. They finally reunite, and two weeks later it becomes legal for vampires and humans to marry - something out of the headlines with the current debate over the rights of gays and lesbians to marry. As the episode ends, Tara, Sookie and Andy make a shocking discovery. However, we won’t know what this is until the series returns next summer!

This series has become one of my new favorites. Great setting, characters, plot and dialogue. There were enough twists and turns to keep me tuning in week after week. I had never read the books, but now I am looking forward to doing that during the show’s hiatus. Sookie and Bill’s story is a main driving focus of the show, but I don’t think we can count Sam out yet. This threesome will have more in store for us I’m sure. What did you think of the season finale of True Blood and this series in general? Will you be going through withdrawals until the series returns in the summer months? I’ll cover any news developments on this series until it returns.

Ghost Whisperer Episode 4-8

gw4-8.jpg

TV.com: Heart & Soul - Melinda finds herself drawn to a man suffering from amnesia and she has a deep need to help him recover his memory.

-

Recap & Review: Ghost Whisperer has been giving us some twists and turns the past few weeks. We lost Jim, and when he wouldn’t cross over to heaven, we somehow got him back. Many wondered how the death of such an important part of Melinda’s life would affect not only her but the series.  Now we can see where CBS and the writers of the show said they thought this change would only make the show better. I’m really curious to see what happens next with this series.

At the end of last week’s episode, we saw Jim take over the body of a man that died and did crossover. However, he has no idea who Melinda is. This week, she is still waiting for Jim in this new body to recognize her. She spends her days by his hospital bedside as the man suffers from amnesia. He has no recollection of his own life or Jim’s. This makes sense though because the man’s spirit did cross over and take all his memories with him.

We learn what Jim did is something called stepping in, and when it happens both souls usually lose all memories of their prior lives. Melinda holds onto the possibility that Jim might somehow remember her. However, there is a ghost trying to stop that. A man that caused the accident in which Sam died. He saw what Jim did, and he wants to prevent Melinda finding happiness with Sam/Jim. When she goes to the hospital to see him, she finds him gone. His family has come for him, and they plan to take him back to their home.

However, Sam overhears an argument, and he leaves his apartment. He goes to find Melinda at her store and they go for lunch in the park. For a moment, we see Jim almost remember her when she laughs. Sam thinks he wants to move back with his parents after all, but Melinda decides to offer him a place to stay and a job finishing out the work on her garage. He takes her up on the offer, but his parents disagree. He will be going home with them whether she likes it or not. He doesn’t want to do that though, and he goes to Melinda’s home. The two of them have a talk, and he knows about Jim dying after he read about it in the newspaper.

Sam also defies his parents. He tells them he won’t go home with them, and when he goes back to see Melinda he tells her there is something about her. He actually he had some kind of affair with her before Jim died. She can’t tell him what really happened, so he ends up leaving. Delia and Melinda also have a confrontation because Delia can’t believe what Melinda feels about Jim taking over Sam’s body. They actually go so far as to end their friendship.

However, Delia soon changes her mind when she ends up finding Sam at the basketball courts. Ned had told her he played basketball with Jim every Monday afternoon, and this is where Sam is drawn too. This makes Delia act, and she brings Sam back to Melinda’s. She knows Melinda wasn’t crazy. Sam is Jim. The two of them talk, and she convinces Sam to move in with her. There will be no explanations. Melinda is getting her second chance at her one true love. The ghost even has a change of heart after he sees Melinda fix things with the remaining members of Sam’s family. He tells her after all she has done in her life, she deserves a miracle.

This series has had me on the edge of my seat the last three weeks, and I’m really excited for what is ahead. Ghost Whisperer found a way to make people want to tune in, and they are showing that love can conquer all with this story line. Melinda and Jim have done great here, and the actor playing Sam has also stepped right in. What did you think of this week’s episode of Ghost Whisperer? For your daily tv listings, check here .

Supernatural Episode 4-10

supernatural4-10.jpg

TV.com: Heaven and Hell - Dean and Sam figure out why Castiel and Uriel want Anna dead. Alastair and his minions try to track down Sam, Dean and Anna.

-

Recap & Review: Last week, Sam and Dean find a young woman named Anna that can overhear the words of angels. Castial and Uriel arrive, and they want her dead. This week picsk up right where last week left off. The boys want to know why they want to kill her though. They fight in a battle where the angels go after the boys and Ruby. The angels win, and they go after Anna. However, we see a flash of light and the angels are soon gone. Anna says she sent them away. She doesn’t even know how she did.

Now the boys know why the angels want her dead. She has some special power. Anna has no idea why she must die. Apparently, she had issues when she was a child with her birth father. To find out more, the boys take her to Pamela, and when she puts Anna chaos comes. When she wakes up, she tells them she is also an angel. She fell from earth, and slowly forgot that she was once an angel. They need to find her grace which she removed. Sam has an idea on where to find it though. The brothers, Anna and Ruby do head off to find her grace, but when they arrive she discovers it has been stolen by someone else.

Anna overhears the angels speaking again, and this time the angels have a warning for Dean. If he doesn’t turn Anna over to them, they will send him back to hell. Anna does talk to Dean alone, and she tells him he needs to forgive himself for what he did in hell. There moment goes on, and we see back of the car seat sex reminicent of the scene from Titanic, hand on fogged up glass and all. Deals come up. Ruby tries to make one for Alastair, and Uriel tries to make one with Dean.  Ruby’s deal doesn’t go so well as Alastair takes her hostage. Dean is forced to give Anna to Castiel and Uriel, but she goes almost willingly. Something happens, and we see a flash of light that destroys Alastair. Anna turns into an angel. Sam’s idea was to bring everyone together.

Before the episode ends, Dean tells Sam more about his time in hell. We learn that he spent forty years in hell. The first thirty were spent on the rack, but then he took the chance to get off of it, and put other souls on it. This is what he did until he was freed by the angels. This is another series wrapping up until after the holidays. Something tells me we really haven’t seen the last of Anna. This put the series on a good note. I didn’t mind the return to the angel line because they dealt with it in such an interesting way. What did you think of this week’s episode of Supernatural? For your daily tv listings, check here .

Grey’s Anatomy Episode 5-9

greys5-9.jpg

TV.com: In the Midnight Hour - Meredith, Cristina and Bailey come to Lexie and Sadie’s rescue when a routine surgery goes horribly wrong, as Owen and Derek treat a man seriously injured while sleepwalking and Mark comforts the sleepwalker’s distraught daughter.

-

Recap & Review: Grey’s Anatomy has taken an interesting turn in interesting weeks since the departure of Brooke Smith. The series axed the lesbian story line in favor one with Izzie and a ghost. This one has people scratching their heads especially after we all found out Izzie could actually touch Denny. This week starts out with them taking it a step further. Izzie things it is residual.

The only way to prove that it isn’t is by doing something new to them. The something new to them is sex, and everyone in the house hears Izzie. Alex tells them she is just having some solo time. She spends her day with Denny, and she still thinks he isn’t really there. When she wakes up, and he is gone she finally cracks. She yells at him for dying and leaving her. When he apologizes to her, she yells even more. She finally does need to go into the hospital though. Denny tells her to go, and he’ll be there when he comes back. He is, and he’ll even be there in the morning after she spends the night with Alex.

At the hospital, the day begins. A sleepwalking man is brought in by his daughter, and in a flash he somehow hits Callie and breaks her nose. As it turns out, he forgot to take his medicine that day, so he had an extended episode that included him jumping out a window. The interns are continuing their own experiments even though Yang told them to stop doing it. This time they are going to perform a full surgery on one of the other interns. Sadie appears to be their choice. Lexie has second thoughts on this, but Sadie is the one to make the first cut. Things go wrong though, and Lexie goes for Meredith and Cristina to help fix things. They need to call in Bailey and the Chief.

They are all able to save Sadie, but this cause problems. Meredith and Cristina take the blame for it happening, but Lexie can’t allow them to do that. She speaks up, and this lands all the interns in trouble. They are on probation until further notice, and they have lost the respect of many. While Sloan tries to fix Callie, Alex needs to deal with a woman that thinks she has stomach cancer. No surgery. They all continue to work on the man that sleepwalks, and it appears there is more to his case. He might also suffer from epilepsy. Sloan takes this lead in this story line, but it doesn’t go much of anywhere. We do see some small progress made between Hunt and Yang though.

I really have no idea where this series is going right now. Next up is the solo surgery. The interns on this series seem to have a way of royally messing up things as well. They are all in the dog house. George even goes to Lexie at one point, and she lays into him. No idea where they are going with Izzie and Denny either. This series is one big question mark right now. Not sure if I like that too much. What did you think of this week’s episode? For daily tv listings, check here .

Ugly Betty Episode 3-9

betty3-9.jpg

TV.com: When Betty Met YETI - Marc and Betty compete against each other for the Young Editors Training Program but only one spot is available. Daniel learns he is drawn towards Molly. Wilhelmina attempts to get Connor to notice her.

-

Recap & Review: I have been a fan of Ugly Betty since the beginning of the series. This series, in season three, is not the same series that it once was. It is still a great series, but the changes we’ve seen in the past two months are definitely making the series change. We’ve seen Alexis go as Rebecca Romijn went on maternity live. Betty lost two male suitors at the start of the season, and both played big parts of what made last year interesting. Some might even say Ugly Betty moving its production form Los Angeles to Manhattan changed the series. It is still enjoyable though.

This week’s episode starts at the beginning of another typical day for Betty. Amanda is still staying at her apartment, and she has turned Betty into her own personal slave. This doesn’t set too well with Betty, and she tells Amanda this. Amanda doesn’t see a problem though. However, Betty’s day gets better when a former Mode employee returns, and he tells Betty all about a program he took part in called YETI or Young Editors Training Initiative. It was his ticket to becoming an editor, and Betty wants that more than anything.

She moves forward to apply to the program, but when she meets with one of the program advisers, she learns she only has 48 hours to put together her presentation, - a magazine she has to create herself. She gets right to work on creating a fashion magazine, but this says nothing about what she is. Everyone she tells obviously feels the same way. When you see Betty, you don’t see fashion magazine kind of girl. The problem is she learns someone else is also doing a fashion magazine, Marc.

This spells trouble for Betty. In fact, she even quits while she is ahead. However, her family pushes her forward to do what she should have done from the beginning - a magazine that shows her. Her magazine is B Magazine. A magazine that talks to young women about being themselves. Marc arrives though, and once again we have trouble. Marc has everything, including an entire magazine. However, Betty learns quickly that she was accepted into the program. Marc wasn’t, even with all that he did. Marc tells her though she was picked because of her ethnicity, and that’s all. She confirms this with a call to YETI. This takes a bit of the glory of acceptance away from her. Betty decides to drop out, and she gives her spot to Marc. However, Daniel puts a call in and tells the program also worked for another magazine that year, so both her and Marc could get in.

As for Wilhelmina, she has her eye on Connor, and she is ready to do anything to get him. Her first order of business is to get Connor out of town. She puts a meeting in Florida that she just needs him to attend. However, Molly is upset that he is backing out of a presentation to her class. To help, Connor asks Daniel to speak to Molly’s class. Daniel goes, and he and Molly once again hit it off. In Florida, Wilhelmina tries to work her magic over Connor, getting dinner out of him. The two talk over dinner. We end up seeing the two get closer along with the same happening with Daniel and Molly. However, Connor puts a stop to it.

Justin is also dealing with his own life as well. He has made friends with Randy. The two hang out a lot, and it looks like the two are becoming great friends. However, Randy becomes uncomfortable with their friendship, and when Justin offers to take him to a Broadway show, Randy tells him they need to stop seeing each other. This upsets Justin, and he decides not to go to the Broadway show. However, after he and his mother talk he takes her.

This episode wasn’t much on the humor, but a lot on the heart. That can work just as well with a series. Daniel once again comes through for Betty when she needs him most, and while Connor stopped Wilhelmina, Daniel and Molly get closer. No new episode next week. Ugly Betty will return after Thanksgiving. What did you think of this week’s episode of Ugly Betty? To find daily television listings, check here .

This week’s episode starts with Mike arresting a man that we find out is involved in a big heist. The heist is so special that no one has met before, and their identities are only known as signs of the zodiac. Once they find out more details of the heist, Knight Industries sends his Mike in place of the man only known as Virgo. He takes Billy as back up on this one, and they go to Vegas for the meeting. The location was moved from Anchorage, but Mike has no problems with the change in locale.

He and Billy arrive in Vegas, and they go straight to their hotel called Corsica.Mike is able to pass initial fingersprint inspection thanks to KITT changing his fingerprints before he goes in. However, there is a problem. The head of the operation, Capricorn,  has an ID for the real Virgo. The Capricorn is Steve Cordoba, and he is the head of the security at the hotel they are, but he has been let go. He wants one last heist before he loses his source of place to launder the money they make. A big heist. Mike is able to get around the ID with the help of KITT, and after a bit more time Steve finally confides in Mike.

The last big job will involve the casino. Mike tells Carrie back at headquarters. They are trying to figure out why he would want to rob his own hotel right before he is officially let go. KITT has an idea though. The car suggests that the man is looking to make himself look good by stopping the robbery so he can keep his job. He can always form a new team if he needs it. At the next meeting of the zodiac group, they are told their plans and when it will happen. The heist will happen that day. The score is $30 million dollars divided up by the group.

The heist goes down perfectly, and Mike is the last to arrive at the drop site. Turns out Mike’s cover wasn’t as good as he thought. Virgo ends up being the fall guy for the heist. The rest of the team is able to find Mike’s location, and Billy takes KITT. They are able to rescue him.

As for Billy, he has his own things happening this week. While waiting around the hotel to see what happened to Mike, he mets a woman at the blackjack table. The two connect, but she leaves. He calls Zoe back at headquarters for advice. Once he tells about it, she helps him find the woman’s room and sends a little help. Looks like Billy is getting some vacation sex. The next morning, it looks like he might get played though. Courtney tells him she lied about being wealthy. She owes student loans, and she lost her tuition money at the tables. He tells her he hopes she isn’t lying to him, and he will check. However, he goes for the money. He also wins.

Charles also has some things to deal with in a woman from his past. An ex girlfriend who seems quite interested in KITT. She keeps asking him about the car, and he finally gives in and tells her some about KITT. Not all though.  In fact, what he does tell her isn’t even true. However, he’ll still meet her in her hotel room for sex. This episode was fun. Billy got the girl. Mike and him completed the mission. No awkward tension between Mike and Sarah to make things too interesting. Just a simple fun episode. Bad news here is no new Knight Rider episodes until after the holidays. Knight Rider will return with all new episodes in January. What did you think of this week’s episode of Knight Rider? For daily tv listings, check here.
