Grey"s Anatomy Recap: Who Returned?

Thursday’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy featured Teddy coming out of hiding, Jackson’s return, medical mysteries, and all the relationship drama we’ve come to expect from this soapy ABC drama. 


If you watch Grey’s Anatomy online, you know that Teddy has been in hiding ever since she told Maggie about her pregnancy on Grey’s Anatomy Season 15 Episode 1



With Meredith in the know thanks to Maggie’s loose lips, she aimed to help Teddy because she knew she was suffering because Owen and Amelia were back together. 


In one of the series’ most comical openings to date, Meredith found Teddy at a park in a huge lie, and before we knew it, the pair were making cookies in Meredith’s kitchen. 


Teddy admitted that she as initially prepared to tell Owen about her status as an expectant mother, but then she realized he was sleeping with the enemy. 


The enemy in this instance is, of course, Amelia. But that was too much for Meredith to handle, so the surgeon asked her pal whether there was any way she and Owen could raise their child together amicably. 



“I hate him so much, I wanna smash his face in!” Teddy yelled as she bashed some cookie dough. 


But by the end of the installment, she admitted that she loved Owen and that she didn’t want to come between him and Amelia if they were in a good place. 


Teddy felt like Owen would ditch Amelia in the name of being a stand-up guy, but Meredith refuted that, saying that he will do the right thing, whatever that means. 


While Teddy was chatting through her issues with Meredith, Owen and Amelia were loitering outside Betty’s school to make sure she was not doing drugs or cutting classes. 


It allowed them to chat about the past, and finally get on the same page as each other in terms of where they stand with each other. 



It’s just a shame that will all fall apart when the baby bombshell drops. 


Back at the hospital, Jackson returned with a patient from abroad to perform a complicated surgery, and he was desperately trying to win Maggie back. 


But his girlfriend was less than enthused about it, and it took him saving a young boy’s life for her to realize she needs him in her life. 


As for Jackson, the crisis of faith seemed to subside thanks to his brainwave that helped save the young boy’s life. 


Was there really hope for this couple? 


Meanwhile, Bailey and Jo tried to help a woman who wanted Meredith Grey to go through the process of elimination to find out what condition she had. 



After giving up, the woman consumed a sandwich, and they realized the problem only occurred when she consumed food, so they cured her.

Jersey Shore Recap: The Wrath of Jen Harley

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation did not kick off on Thursday night by playing the theme music from Jaws.


But it might as well have.


When we last left off these drinking buddies, they were preparing for the arrival of Jen Harley, who Ronnie invited to hang out despite the fact that she had (allegedly) just dragged him down the road from a car.




stunned ronnie


(NOTE: This episode was filmed months ago, prior to the latest assault accusations against Harley.)


Moreover, the last time Harley was part of the group, she (allegedly) got physical with Ronnie and got thrown out of Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.


So, as you might expect, tension was running a bit high for her arrival in Jersey.


The stars were out to dinner when she got to Atlantic City.


After she delivered a few casual side hugs to everyone at the table, there was a whole lot of awkward silence untill JWOWW broke it hilariously by uttering:


“Your mug shot — you look hot!”


We’re not sure if we agree (see below), but the ice-breaking line worked and dinner commenced without incident.



Following the meal, the team got all ready to watch DJ Pauly D do his thing.


They were all staying at Harrah’s, but a Caesars Group hotel rep showed up and asked to speak to both Ronnie and Jen.


As it turns out, the latter was banned from all Caesars Group properties due to her actions in Sin City, but she was permitted to remain on the premises after she and Ronnie convinced the rep everything would remain calm.


“We’ve been going through anger management and therapy on our own,” Jen said.




with j h


Ronnie told his pals that the issue had to do with Jen forgetting her ID, although no one believes him.


But whatever. It was off to the club to have some fun!


And for the real drama to begin.


While enjoying Pauly D’s performance, the group was dancing and laughing and drinking and having such a great time that they almost forgot how dysfunctional Ronnie and Jen could be.


Correction: How dysfunctional they always are.


Jen got wasted, Ronnie told her to stop drinking and then the following exchange occurred:




no shot for you


And, with that, Jen was gone.




no??


Elsewhere on the episode, Angelina Pivarnick opened up to JWoww, Deena Cortese and The Situations’s fiancee, Lauren, at brunch.


The topic? Her abusive upbringing.


“My dad and me — we’re like — we’re decent,” Angelina said, adding in detail:


“My childhood was not easy. Our parents didn’t have a good relationship. My father was a cheater. He was an abusive father. He was never a father to me growing up as a kid.


“He met my mother in court because my father was always in and out of jail.


“When I was born, my father was in jail. He only had me because it was gonna give him a lesser jail sentence, so he was like, ‘Oh, lemme have a daughter with a woman that I don’t even love."”




at brunch


Wow, huh?


Heavy, heavy stuff.


Lauren attempted to suggest that perhaps this was simply Angelina’s “perspective” on the situation, but Angelina maintained that’s “exactly” what her father told her.


“Hearing from Angelina her daddy issues is heartbreaking ‘cause it makes sense as to why she’s very codependent,” JWOWW told cameras. “I feel really bad for how I treated Angelina and for how I judged her.”


So while one relationship took another turn for the crazy and dangerous, at least another one was maybe salvaged this week.


We’ll leave you on that positive note.

American Horror Story Recap: The Traitor

Wednesday’s episode found our favorite coven of witches desperately trying to find some allies as the war against Michael Langdon aka The Antichrist loomed. 


Cordelia turned to Dinah Stevens, the witch who we know is in Outpost 3 in the present in this time jumping series, and asked her for a meeting. 



The meeting was with Papa Legba, but Dinah was not about to set that up until she got some cold hard cash for the inconvenience of summoning the voodoo devil. 


Cordelia parted with $ 100,000 and got a lot more than she bargained for when she realized that Nan was working with the elusive villain in hell. 


“I really like hell,” she admitted to Cordelia. “It’s fun! … I make trouble.”


Cordelia’s plan sounded rather simple: She wanted Papa Legba to open the gates of hell long enough to trap Michael in there for the rest of eternity. 



While Papa Legba seemed to like the idea of Michael being all locked up in his realm, he said she would need to give him something in return. 


All of her girls would have to make their way to the dimension, presumably so he could harness their powers. But that was not enough for Cordelia to agree to the offer. 


Instead, she pleaded with Dinah after Papa Legba exited the scene, but Dinah was open about that being the only way out for them. 


While Cordelia’s plan fizzled out, we got to witness a whole new plan thanks to the addition of Bubbles McGee, Joan Collins’ second character this season. 



The washed-up movie star could tell what people were thinking, so Madison reached out to her in a blatant attempt to make the first strike against the men of Michael’s school. 


Myrtle and Bubbles indulged in a dinner party with the warlocks, and that’s when Bubbles learned the frightening truth about John Henry:


He was murdered, and both men knew all about it. 


John Henry was brought back to life courtesy of Mallory and Zoe harnessing their magical abilities, and John Henry had a revenge plan in mind. 


Cordelia intercepted Ariel and Baldwin’s plan to send powder through the air to kill her and her girls and noted that the idea was stolen from a woman. 



Those warlocks switched the gender and set out to steal the idea for themselves. In any case, they were burned at the stake alongside Miss Mead. 


John Henry returned to do the lightning, but it didn’t seem to faze Miss Mead who was chanting that it was a rebirth of sorts for her. 


This episode was transitional more than anything. It set the tone for what’s to come in the coming weeks as the battle against the Antichrist gets underway.

The Voice Recap: Who Won The Final Battle?

The Battle Rounds came to a grinding halt Tuesday night, and while we witnessed three battles, a bunch were saved for the dreaded montage.


With the Knockouts coming up and the season’s big twist set to switch things up, the show might actually remain exciting all season long. 



Who would have thought it? Usually, the excitement fizzles out right before the live shows, but time will tell whether the producers messing with the formula will work.  


Let’s break down the final three battles of the season!


Team Kelly: Sarah Grace vs. Erika Zade – “No Roots”


Sarah opened up about never having a vocal lesson before, so being in rehearsals was uncharted territory for her. 


She was receptive to feedback, so that was a huge positive, but she didn’t feel like Alice Merton number would benefit her voice. 



The same could be said for Erika. The true kicker here was that both women turned in solid performances, and it was difficult to pick between them. 


Kelly went with Sarah, and nobody voted to steal Erika. 


Team Blake: Kameron Marlowe vs. Kayley Hill – “Only Wanna Be With You”


As this one kicked off, it seemed like Kameron was going to have the edge, but both performers were worthy of being kept in the battle for the recording contract. 



There were no nerves here, just an excellent performance, and it’s sad that one of them had to go. 


Kameron won this round, and Kayley was sent home. 


Team Adam: DeAndre Nico vs. Funsho – “Can You Stand the Rain”


The frustrating thing here was that both of the above performers were the worst of the night. There were no harmonies, and it made the overall performance rather weak. 


Adam opted to stick it out with DeAndre while Blake decided to steal Funsho. It was a dumb move when you consider there were two much better singers sent home. 



During the dreaded montage, we learned that Claire DeJean defeated Josh Davis to remain on Team Kelly, Kirk Jay beat Caeland Garner to stay on Team Blake, and Kennedy Holmes won over Lela to continue on with Team Jennifer. 


Kennedy is probably the most popular artist in the show right now, so giving her the montage was a bizarre move.

The Voice Recap: Who Got The Boot?

Night three of the Battle Rounds brought more of the same Monday night:


The wrong people being sent home. Well, mostly. 


As is becoming the norm with this series, the coaches are keeping the people around they think viewers are tuning in for. 



But who went home?


Find out below.


Team Blake: Dave Fenley vs. Keith Paluso – “I’m a One-Woman Man”


It was clear from the get-go that this was Dave’s competition to lose. Keith was all over the place in rehearsals, forgetting things and just coming across as though he could care less. 


When the performance actually kicked off, both men started well, but Keith quickly faltered, leaving Dave to take the whole thing. 


As expected, Blake opted to stick with Dave as opposed to Keith, but Adam gave Keith a reprieve. The issue here is that Keith is not doing very well, and Adam could be setting himself up for failure. 


Time will tell. 



Team Adam: Reagan Strange vs. Emily Hough – “Photograph”


These two girls became friends thanks to the process and didn’t want to battle one another, but they don’t get to pick the rules. 


While they started the battle well, Reagan quickly towered above her competitor, but that’s not to say Emily was bad. 


There was a lot to like about her voice, but Adam went with his gut and kept Reagan in the competitive loop. 


Team Jennifer: Franc West vs. Matt Johnson – “Too Close”


This battle was the closest of the night. Franc and Matt have distinctly different voices, but they both killed it during their battle. 


Matt definitely had the edge, but Jennifer opted to send him home. 



Team Kelly: Abby Cates vs. Delaney Silvernell – “Love Me Like You Do” 


Delaney continued to struggle with her nerves during the rehearsals, and Kelly wondered whether they would be addressed by the time the show actually kicked off. 


Unfortunately, they were not, and it resulted in a shaky performance that allowed Abby the time she needed to shine. 


Kelly kept Abby in the game, and Adam decided to give Delaney another shot, presumably because he knew there was a star in there somewhere. 



Team Adam: Jake Wells vs. Natalie Brady – “Closing Time”


Jake wondered why he was paired with Natalie because they had different appearances. Natalie was just happy to still be in the game, so she continued to sing. 


When put together, they were probably on the same level, but that was not enough to keep them both there. Jake secured the win, and there was no steal for Natalie. 


Team Jennifer: Tyshawn Colquitt vs. Zaxai – “Love Lies”


Tyshawn wowed everyone with his audition and continued to excel during this final battle of the night.


Zaxai was solid, but there was something about his vocals that were not up to par with Tyshawn’s. 


In any case, Jennifer stuck with Tyshawn while Kelly took on Zaxai.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Shannon Beador Flips Out

Shannon Beador has been battling to stay in control of her emotions throughout the most recent season of The Real Housewives of Orange County. 


With a messy divorce dragging her down, she’s been taking it out on her friends, and things went nuclear on Monday’s episode of the Bravo hit thanks to claims that her attitude, well, stinks. 



When the episode got underway, the ladies were still in Jamaica, and Gina Kirschenheiter was still going on about how Beador did not give their friendship a chance. 


If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online, you know that Shannon has been distant from the new additions to the cast, and despite their best efforts to make friends with her, she’s shut them down at every turn. 


Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, Kelly Dodd, and Emily Simpson started to chat about Shannon’s wellbeing in her company, and things quickly got heated. 


“Are you serious? So we’re going to do a goddamn f—— straight-jacket intervention right now? Are you kidding me?” Beador yelled in her defense after being accused of turning to alcohol to cope with everything that’s going on. 



“I feel blindsided,” a clearly irate Beador complained as she tried to get away from the situation, and she did not want to be filmed.


“I just need a minute. Stop, I mean it. Stop following me, I swear to God, I will take the mic off. You guys need to stop. … I need a minute, and I deserve it,” she continued to yell. 


As we’ve reported on several times, Judge felt like Shannon was neglecting her friendships as she has become absorbed by all the things going in her personal life. 


“I love Shannon, but the constant negativity and dwelling on things that really don’t matter is tiresome to me,” Judge explained in a confessional, adding:



“We all have a hard time when we’re getting divorced. We all have outbursts, I did. But it’s been six months. She can’t keep treating people badly because she’s getting divorced.”


“This has been months of buildup. She wants to bitch and complain all the time and not fix anything,” Judge continued.


“In her head, she’s the busiest person in the world, and she doesn’t get it. She’s never worked. David took care of everything. … She cries every single night. … I’m legit 100 percent worried about her.”


Always one to throw in her two cents, Vicki was there to stick the knife into her pal. 


“That was a big red flag for me … it just masks the pain,” Gunvalson stated when the others claimed she was using alcohol to mask her pain.



“I think she needs us. … She should get on something because sometimes you can’t handle your feelings,” she continued.


“When Don and I were going through our separation and divorce, I did go on an anti-depressant because I couldn’t function, I was crying so much. It got me through the bumps.”


“It’s depression, she’s depressed,” added Dodd.


“David must have been kind of a saint to stay up with that. She’s a good girl, and I think the world of her. But to have to deal with that day in and day out? It’s got to be draining,” she continued.


“I only have to deal with Shannon on a friendship level. I couldn’t imagine being married to that and having to live with that every single day. It affects everybody.”



When Tamra and Shannon actually got to chat about how they felt, Shannon was not willing to accept what happened. 


“I am so beyond hurt, Tamra,” Beador admitted after hearing that Gina and her friend were talking smack about her.


“I drop everything to answer the phone. … I’m a kind friend, and I always want to help,” Shannon said in defense of her actions.


“You have no idea what I go through on a daily basis; I don’t even share half the s— with you. Half.”


“I hurt. I’m sensitive,” she said. “But I’m excited about my life, and I’ve let you guys know that, so don’t sit there and say I’m goddamn crying every night, ’cause I’m not.”



Dodd chimed in, telling her friend to go on medication to help her, but that caused even more problems. 


“I’m not going on medication! I’m not doing it,” she shouted.


“I am entitled to feel what I’ve been feeling. I’m entitled to feel my pain. … I am who I am, and I’m going through a lot of pain.” 


“And I get it; everybody’s going through a lot of pain. …[But] stop acting like I’m some goddamn mental case.”


But Judge was not prepared to listen anymore. There’s only so many times you can try help someone who does not want to accept there’s something wrong. 


“Then cry every night, I don’t care anymore because nobody can help you,” Judge shrieked.



“You don’t want to take any help. I’m trying to help you. Just listen. Stop screaming for one f—— time in your life and listen. Listen! You won’t listen!”


“I can’t do this anymore,” Judge yelled at Beador.


“You want to be sad your whole life, be sad your whole life. You don’t want any help, don’t get any help. I don’t give a s— anymore. … Nobody can help you. Nobody can give you any criticism. I’m trying to help you.”


That was enough for Beador to realize the trip was a bust and she was done trying with the ladies, so she disappeared. 



“There’s nothing worse than to feel abandoned and hurt by your friends,” said a deeply concerned Vicki. “I want Shannon to know that I love her and that I’m there for her and she’s going to get through this.”


Who knew Vicki was so friendly?


But Gina did not seem to care about Shannon at all. 


“Why do we feel sad for Shannon?” she asked. “She’s got a lot of money. She’s got business deals. She’s got best friends. Okay, you’re 10 lbs. Overweight. Get over it; you’re not bed-ridden!”

Dancing with the Stars Recap: Who Survived Disney Night?

Disney Night switched up the dynamics on Monday’s episode of Dancing with the Stars. 


It allowed the “stars” to dress up in their favorite Disney-inspired costumes, but was it enough to keep them dancing for another week?


Let’s run down the performances, shall we?



Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten Foxtrot – “Just Around the Riverbend” from Pocahontas


Alexis and Alan turned up the heat Monday night with one of the most elegant foxtrots in the history of the series. 


Their chemistry was off the charts, and while you could tell they were getting closer than ever, there was definitely an element of ambiguity about whether they could get closer. 


Alexis has proven she’s flexible and that worked in her favor during this unique dance. 


Judges’ Score: 29/30


Juan Pablo Di Pace and Cheryl Burke –  Viennese waltz – “Gaston” from Beauty and the Beast


Juan Pablo wowed the crowd, and we’re not talking about with his dancing skills. He’s been doing that for the last month. 


Instead, he went with a ponytail for his Viennese Waltz, and it looked pretty awesome. He’s already had a perfect score, so the only way was really down for him. 


Judges’ Score: 29/30



DeMarcus Ware and Lindsay Arnold – Charleston – “A Star is Born” from Hercules


DeMarcus continued to go from strength-to-strength Monday night, and that’s about the best you can expect from this stage of the competition. 


Instead of having Lindsay lead him, the shoe was on the other foot, and it benefited them greatly. There was a high-octane lift that shocked just about everyone. 


Judges’ Score: 26/30


Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe – Jazz –  “When Will My Life Begin?” from Tangled


After several weeks of improvement, it became as clear as day that the magic was running out for Evanna. By this stage, they should be offering a lot more than they are giving. 


They tried to steer clear of heights, and that was rather problematic when you had everyone else scaling new heights. 


Judges’ Score: 24/30



Joe Amabile and Jenna Johnson – Jive – “Zero,” from Ralph Breaks the Internet


Forget about Ralph breaking the internet. Joe is going to if he continues on the show for much longer. Joe is battling nerves because he feels like the novelty act, and in a sense, he is the novelty act. 


He’s being kept by Bachelor Nation, and his dancing is just not up to scratch. Jenna questioned whether his issue was skill or will, and that’s going to cause a lot of issues down the line. 


The dance was beyond terrible and it reflected in the scores. Bachelor Nation, if you’re reading this, put him out of his misery. 


Judges’ Scores: 17/30


Mary Lou Retton and Sasha Farber – Contemporary – “Reflection,” from Mulan


Mary always has a story for viewers that packs an emotional punch prior to her dance routines, but all of the emotion was saved for the routine this week. 


The dance was flawless, and she admitted that the competition was changing her, so there’s that. 


Judges’ Score: 25/30



John Schneider and Emma Slater – Quickstep – “I Wanna Be Like You,” from The Jungle Book


John has been all over the place since he first appeared on the show. He’s circled the drain several times, but for some reason, he’s started rising up the leaderboard.


He and Emma turned in a solid Quickstep, but there were still a lot of issues. At times, John looks too wooden to take seriously. 


Judges; Score: 24/30


Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess – Waltz – “Part of Your World,” from The Little Mermaid


Sharna dressed up as Princess Ariel, and that was about all she cared about. Just kidding, she went with the Waltz, and it showed that there could be some life left in Bobby yet. 


It was not without its flaws by any means, but it was still a decent routine. The chances of these two making it much further into the competition are slim, however. 


Judges’ Score: 21/30



Milo Manheim and Witney Carson – Quickstep – “Incredits 2,” from Incredibles 2


The quickstep looked good on Milo and Witney. They looked impressive as they strutted their stuff around the ballroom.


Len was unimpressed that there was a lack of body contact and voted accordingly. 


Judges’ Score: 27/30


At the end of the night, nobody was actually eliminated, but we did learn that DeMarcus and Lindsay and Alexis and Alan were in jeopardy. 



That means everyone gets to dance on Halloween night!

90 Day Fiance Recap: Fernanda Finds WHAT in Jonathan"s Home?!

90 Day Fiance had its Season 6 premiere, and the drama is already heating up.


Though fans have already met the Season 6 couples, we learned a lot more on the premiere.


Including which fiancee arrived in the US and almost immediately found another woman’s underwear in her fiance’s home.



Let’s start with Jonathan and Fernanda.


These two are both adults, but their 12-year age difference is raising some eyebrows, especially since Fernanda is 19.


As we saw on the 90 Day Fiance premiere, it’s not just fans who are thinking about how these two are in different stages of their lives.


Jonathan’s status as a bachelor in is 30s is clearly making Fernanda a little insecure.


Her finding a pair of panties in his apartment on her first day didn’t help matters.


They belonged to his ex, which he tried to explain, but it was not a good start for these two.



Kalani and Asuelu are one of those couples that you find yourself really rooting for.


They both seem sweet and neither appear to be monsters. Also, the way that Kalani talks to the camera is charming.


Fans may like these two, but Kalani’s family is not on board.


it turns out that her devoutly Mormon family is not happy that she lost he virginity to and had a baby with a man who is not yet her husband.


“My family was not supportive of me being with Asuelu,” Kalani revealed. “They thought he was just taking advantage of me.”


She revealed that her father, who is Samoan himself, had hoped that she would end up with a very different man.


There are deeper issues at play, here.



Ashley and Jay are another couple with an age gap, but that’s taking a back seat.


Because Jay’s horndog personality is not subtle. He isn’t shy about telling the camera about how much he loves sex.


Ashley’s loved ones are worried that he cheated on her while they were in a long distance relationship.


“Maybe I don’t care what Jay does when I’m not over there,” Ashley claims.


She says: “What he does in Jamaica when I’m not there is none of my business.”


Ashley does at least admit: “I’m hoping that he changed his ways.”


Sex positivity is great — but cheating? That’s less cool. She’s hoping that he becomes devoted to her in America.



Colt and Larissa aren’t on the same page just yet.


There was a rpoblem with Larissa’s visa, so she had to miss her flight.


She asked Colt to go ahead and book the next one, but he wanted to wait to book a flght after her visa issues were worked out.


Larissa didn’t understand that, and it soon became clear that she assumes that, as an American, he is wealthier than he is.


“She’s in for an extremely rude awakening,” Colt admits.


And this is all before she’s met this momma’s boy’s mother — or their many cats.



Eric and Leida are really flipping the script.


Though Eric is an older American and Leida is younger, she enjoyed a life of privilege in Indonesia.


Eric, though a 40-year-old veteran, seems to be making just enough to get by.


In fact, as we learned on the premiere, he had been splitting rent with his 19-year-old daughter.


To prepare for the arrival of Leida and her 5-year-old son, he asked his daughter to move out, which obviously created some friction.


He and Leida both expressed some anxieties about making this work.


Despite their misgivings, smart money says that Eric and Leida are likely to make it to the altar if she’s already come this far.

The Walking Dead Recap: Who"s The Killer?

The final path for Rick and Maggie is starting to take shape. 


As previously reported, both Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohan are departing The Walking Dead during the first half of the current season. 


Sunday’s episode picked up Justin becoming a member of the undead, but all of the communities had no idea where he was. 



The Saviors were especially mad because they knew something happened to him, but the person was just going to get away with it. 


As all the communities tried to find him, Maggie noticed the reanimated version of him looking for some fine dining on the streets. 


Among the pool of suspects in the spate of disappearances were Daryl, Maggie, and Jadis. Daryl and Maggie have long been against the Saviors, and for a good reason. 


But Jadis had an alibi … or so we thought. Gabriel told the others she was him the night Justin went missing, so she could not be the one in the frame. 


After yet another big bust-up, Alden opened up to Rick about the Saviors feeling more at ease if they were trusted to have a firearm. 



Rick was not ready to reason with him and said that it was not out of the question. It was all a matter of finding out who was responsible for these disappearances. 


“You trust me, don’t you?” Alden said to Maggie. “How about trusting a few other people who’ve made a change?”


Rick ultimately grilled Daryl about the murder, and it showed just how fraught this friendship had become. 


“If I’d-a killed him, I’d-a killed him in plain sight,” Daryl complained, leading to Rick claiming that they were building a better future and they had to do their best to stick to it. 


But Daryl had heard it all before and felt like the Saviors took a lot of their comrades from them. 


“But killing each other when the world already belongs to the dead, it’s not the way, not anymore,” said Rick after claiming that killing is not the way forward anymore. 



Gabriel continued to question whether Jadis was only with him because she wanted a cover story for all of her misdeeds. 


The plot thickened when Jadis returned to her former stomping grounds, and brought out a walkie-talkie and called someone. 


“What do you have, an A or a B?” said the man who replied. “I paid my share,” she responded


After going back on forth on letters, Jadis said she would have an A by the next day. 


Okay then. 


When she returned to Gabriel she gave him the following offer:


“There’s another place that’s far from here,” she said, “but if we go together, we can get there.”


She was trading people for supplies for her people. But Gabriel did not want to help out and found himself knocked out. 



Daryl and Maggie found their way to a house that Cyndie once lived, and they found Cyndie, Bea and another girl going at it with Arat. 


The Saviors had murdered all of their friends and family, and that’s why they took action to take them down. 


After some back and forth, Maggie and Daryl allowed the women to murder Arat for his crimes. 


“We gave Rick’s way a chance,” she said. “It’s time to see Negan.”


What will become of these characters?

Jersey Shore Recap: "This is Next Level Mindf-ckery"

A major secret was revealed on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation this week.


And a major bombshell was dropped.


Ready for a recap of events, which mostly served as a warm-up for what looks to be the most insane episode of all-time next Thursday night? Let’s do this…



The installment centered around Deena Cortese and husband Christopher Buckner hosting a gender reveal party at their home in The Garden State.


“I can’t wait anymore. I’m dying,” Deena said while waiting for a color-coded smoke signal to alert her and her loved ones to the sex of her impending child.


Ronnie Ortiz-Magro had not told anyone he was coming to the event, but he showed up nevertheless — keep that in mind, okay?


First, however, blue smoke rose up in the air, Chris screamed “YEAH!” and Deena explained why they were both so pleased to discover they were having a son.


“Now I can name my son after Chris and my dad,” said Cortese, whose father passed away in June of 2016.






Ronnie, meanwhile, actually pulled Deena aside and touched our hearts by telling her it was important for him to be on hand.


He felt awful that he missed her father’s funeral back in the day.


Of course, the last his friends had seen of Ronnie, he had been dragged by a car down the street and was all over the news due to this literal run-in with baby mama Jen Harley.


“I feel like I’m seeing a ghost,” Snooki said of his appearance at the party, while Vinny compared Ronne to Bigfoot for a similar reason.


What was it liked getting DRAGGED ON THE PAVEMENT BY A MOVING VEHICLE?


“It was an accident,” insisted Ronnie, adding that he and Harley (who share a young daughter named Ariana) are somehow still trying to work things out.


“What the hell is this kid doing?” Vinny asked during a confessional.



The roommates then gathered to celebrate the birthdays of The Situation and Pauly D at a Dave & Busters.


Appropriately, Mike got a cheeseburger cake, while Pauly got an Italian flag cake.


After going to town on the “foods,” the honorees opened their gifts.


Among other items, Mike received a police hat (LOL because he’s off to prison for tax evasion) and Pauly received a bedazzled megaphone.


Did the group want to go to Atlantic City with him for his next gig, Pauly wondered?


Everyone except Snooki said they were in: Deena with Chris; Mike with his fiancee, Lauren; Angelina Pivarnick with her fiance; and Ronnie said Jen would meet them there.


Wait, WHAT?!?






The clique was was stunned.


JWOWW even spit out her wine!


Hadn’t Harley just been arrested for domestic battery after she allegedly hit Ronnie in the face and dragged him with her car?!?


That’s a rhetorical question. The answer is yes.


“Can I get everyone’s attention for a second,” Ronne said during the group’s steak dinner in Atlantic City?


“So, obviously, there’s a lot of stuff that’s been going on with me and Jen, and she is in town and she’s here, and I would love for her to be with us this weekend.


Would you guys mind if she would come to Pauly’s gig tomorrow and just hang out? We’re all a family. I wanna put it out there, and I don’t wanna make people feel uncomfortable.”






JWOWW spit out some more wine at this point and Vinny killed us by adding:


“I mean, she can come. I’ve always wanted to be on TMZ!”


“What the f-ck, Ron?” Jenni later told cameras.


“You didn’t go to Seaside ‘cause you were dragged by a car, and now you’re like, ‘Yeah, be cool with her.’ Like, I don’t know where to go with this. This is next level mindf-ckery.”


Despite Ronnie assuring his pals that it was alll good because he and Jen were attending couples therapy, Vinny also had his doubts.


“Ron is telling us that the fighting with Jen has ended,” he said in a confessional, concluding:


“That’s like him saying that the fighting with Sam has ended, which we all know has never ended. Obviously, we’re all terrified. He’s gonna do what he wants anyway, so there’s not much we can do.”


And, with that basically, we faded to black.


Return next week to find out what happened when Harley actually arrived in Atlantic City!

American Horror Story Recap: Return to Murder House

American Horror Story was all about giving fans what they wanted on Wednesday night.


By that, we mean there was a return trip to the Murder House from American Horror Story Season 1 as Madison and Behold continued their mission to find out everything they could about Michael Langdon. 




Posing as the most fabulous married couple of them all, they had to fool the realtor into proving they were seriously interested in buying the house. 


As such a wire transfer was made, taking the house off the market and allowing the two to enter the walls of the home that housed 36 ghosts. 


Behold, and Madison had to do a spell to allow them to see the ghosts because the souls were able to decide when they could be seen by mortals. 


We quickly learned that Constance Langdon, Michael’s grandmother, was dead, and there was a huge hint that she took “the coward’s way out,” courtesy of Moira. 


“I’m Constance Langdon, and this is my f–ing house!” shrieked Constance, marking Jessica Lange’s first episode with the series in four years. 


The mother of Tate went on to say that if they wanted the goods on Michael, they had to do something for her:


Get rid “that insufferable, cloudy-eyed ginger.”



And that they did. The dug up her bones and planted them in the same plot of land as her mother’s corpse. It brought Moira’s storyline full-circle and allowed her to pass on to what came next with someone who was actually happy to see her. 


As for Constance’s end of the bargain, she spilled all the beans, and much of it was to be expected. She tried her best to keep Michael’s murderous instincts at bay. 


In fact, she went as far as planting a rose bush above every single animal he skewered, but that got difficult when he graduated to the big leagues and started offing humans. 


He even had a decade-length growth spurt one night, allowing him to become stronger. But Constance realized he was going to wind up killing her, so she headed over to the Murder House with some pills and a bottle of whiskey. 


“That’s what I call a bon voyage!” Constance laughed as she told the two witches the chilling tale. Constance decided against revealing her spirit to her grandson because she was too damaged following everything. 



However, Ben Harmon was on hand try and make a connection with the child who didn’t exactly have the best start in life. 


What followed were heartwarming scenes of Ben trying to make Michael be the best man he could be, but he drew the line for good when Michael opted to slice and dice two women who moved into the house. 


As if that was not bad enough, he sent their souls away from the world, thus ousting their lives in both places. 


That’s when Viven showed up to continue the trip down memory lane revealing that there was always something amiss with the child and that she believed he was the Antichrist. 


“I never stopped loving you,” Ben said after we learned Vivien has been steering clear of him.


“I know, but I never stopped hating him,” Vivien responded. 


Everything changed for the worse when a cult showed up at the house to worship Michael, confirming all of their worst fears. 



Micheal feasted on the heart of a girl Miriam kidnapped after offering her a ride. That’s when a mysterious shadow appeared behind him, confirming he was indeed the villain of this story. 


Vivan decided enough was enough and tried to kill him, but he turned the tables and attempted to take the women who birthed him out of the equation. 


In a truly surprising scene, Tate showed up and saved her. We also learned that Tate was not taking anything to do with the child despite him being his father. 


“You didn’t spring from my nut sack! Not even I could create something as monstrous, as evil, as you!” he yelled at Michael when he showed up in his room. 


Speaking of Tate, he and Violet’s relationship was essentially over. Violet couldn’t look at Tate after everything he did, but Madison managed to talk to her. 


She said that Tate was possessed by the evil inside the house. Could that be the case? Maybe, but it all felt a little too convenient.
