Grey’s Anatomy
I used to watch Grey’s Anatomy a million years ago. I remember McDreamy. I remember the Asian doctor whose relationship ended sadly. I don’t remember much else, or why I stopped watching. I don’t recall actually breaking up with Grey’s specifically, I think we just grew apart and sort of consciously uncoupled in an amicable way. But now, it seems weird not to tune in to all three Shondaland shows on Thursday nights. I like it again. But it is still like when you hang out with your girlfriend and she is watching her soap opera and you don’t know any of the backstory on anyone. Was it just me or did the whole mystery sister/daughter line just sort of go away? Did I miss something? Did the love child doctor just leave forever? Last night I was just getting in to the lesbian marital problems storyline and now they are going to break up? Someone is actually named Arizona? I’m still going to watch this for a while, but I feel like I need a friends chart. 
Scandal
This show was just starting to get better and now, after last night’s show I don’t know what to think. Why is Fitz so quick to believe Poppa Pope over Jake? Why is Cyrus telling Liv that he saw proof positive when we know Jake didn’t kill the kid or Harrison? Is Shonda really going to kill off Jake? I also didn’t get the OPA case this week. I don’t understand who the bad guys are that were responsible for killing Kaitlin and Faith. I guess the one guy was Kaitlin’s dad? Why do we care about Olivia’s friends legal issues? Are we trying to get back to OPA doing their own cases that don’t have anything to do with B613, or Fitz, or Poppa Pope or am I missing the connection? What’s the deal with “the key?”
I’m not pleased with the Huck storyline. Do you think Quinn will eventually talk to the wife and confirm his story? Will he ever get to see his kid? Quinn seems to be HBIC at OPA at the moment. She seems like the only one not distracted by her own issues.
How to Get Away With Murder
This episode did very little to help move the overall plotline forward. The only really interesting thing about the procedural case this week was how into it Laurel was. Why was Laurel so interested in getting the boy off who shot his abusive father who was a cop? What is her secret that connects her to the case? Why is Frank so desperately into Laurel? He’s supposed to make a habit of screwing students. Why is Laurel so special?
The main thing that happened this week is that Wes turned against Annalise and toward Rebecca. Rebecca seems to think that Sam and Annalise are “working together.” Which is not exactly true, but Annalise is covering for her husband at this point. She clearly was not in on it at the time. This is the beginning of Wes and Rebecca becoming closer. And it is also the beginning of Rebecca going into hiding. She seems to be hiding from Sam. Which leads us to believe she probably did kill Sam.
We also find out that Bonnie’s little trip to the police station last episode caused Nate to get fired and he is no longer on the force. Nate blames Annalise for this despite Bonnie keeping her in the dark. It’s also clear that Bonnie’s loyalty lies with Sam moreso than Annalise. I have a feeling that Bonnie might have been tailing Nate at Sam’s request.
In the flashback this week we get more info on Frank and Laurel. Frank lied to Laurel about something and I think it has to do with Sam. He tells her he will do anything to make things up to her, but she says it’s too late. Too late because Sam is dead?
Sorry for the lack of detailed recaps. I just didn’t really get into #TGIT last night. I mean it was enjoyable but there really isn’t that much to report. I was left more confused than I was last week…
So explain it to me?
Same situation here with Greys. I only watched S1 and S2. Pls recap hot spots over seasons – someone.
Scandal. It’s getting old. Jake is bizarre but not actor enuf to prove it. Olivia Spurs when she fast talks. So do the redhead at the Wh House and the HBIC. All the women are clones.
HTGAWM. Slow last pm. The pasty vampire blonde might have helped Sam with the murder. Or the mute brunette girl. Or both. But Sam was involved. He let slip on Ep 1 where the body was (water tank) before that info was released to public. He told his wife this in error.
I didn’t think about that point you mention of vampire blond helping Sam at least cover up the murder. Very possible since she appears obsessed with Sam. Which begs the question why does Annalise keep her around? Is it because she has too much dirt on Sam and Annalise by the time Annalise realised she was into her husband.
I don’t remember Sam talking about the water tank prior to everyone knowing through the news.
1. Grey’s – Callie and Arizona have been at odds for years now. Their final break-up came as no surprise to me. Both are selfish. I wanted to see more of the new family dynamic – Meredith, the half-sister, Richard but looks like that is next week.
2. Scandal – last night seemed “off” to me. It didn’t hold my interest until about mid-way. What has happened to Liv? Her gut instinct is so way off. Poppa Pope comes by with wine to visit and they sit and talk like a normal dad/daughter. Then Liv’s radar doesn’t go up at all when he tells her Jake killed Harrison and the President’s son? Poppa Pope’s only truth was that everything he did was to make Liv happy. Of course we know his hands are dirty with killing James. Cyrus wants to believe Jake is on a killing spree b/c he helped set up James death. Rosen is going off the rails b/c the B16 files made that guy commit suicide. Jake is dreaming of standing in the sun with Liv while Fitz is beating the crap out of him – more b/c of Liv/Jake than b/c of his dead son. Millie, hopefully, is coming back into her own powerplaying self now that her son’s death has meaning b/c he was a target. Quinn is going to go to Huck’s wife but I think that relationship is off b/c Huck now understands she doesn’t trust him at all. Would love to see him reconnect with the son but highly doubful IMO. Not sure how this Jake thing is going to end…
3. How to Get Away (that title is just too long! LOL) This was also a bit “off” to me and didn’t start off the way I thought (not sure what I was expecting). I didn’t get why it was Laurel-centered who thinks she’s such a bad ass? It did show how stern Annaliese is as a professor though when she shut her down. She was dating the legal aid guy so when did her hookup with Frank happen? Why did she take the statue to Frank asking for help? Did the girl ever find the engagement ring? Annaleise and Sam were having an affair before they got married (and she said she was weak and broken so was Sam who helped her toughen up?), he has an affair with the dead chic after they got married and she has an affair with Nate after they’re married. Hmmm, wow what a pattern? Bonnie got Nate fired while investigating last week but he thinks Annaliese did it and cut her off when she tried to resume their relationship. I was shocked he told her about sam not being where he said he was supposed to be and even more shocked when Sam admitted it. I think Rebecca suspected Sam when he was doing the psych eval b/c of his questions and that’s why she asked for the bathroom so she could check the wallpaper and then run when she knew it was him. She’s right that they’re working together – Sam did it but Annaliese is protecting him. I’m still not convinced Rebecca is telling the truth either. Wes sneaks in as they’re going to bed (why wasn’t the door locked?) peeps at the wallpaper and said the the best line to Annaliese “Your husband is Mr. Darcy?”. Now he doesn’t trust her even though she holds his education in her hands. Next week will be interesting…
Laurel’s hookup with Frank hasn’t happened yet. It probably will happen in the next couple of episodes. By the time of Sam’s murder it clearly has happened but right now they have just kissed. Laurel takes the statue to Frank presumably so he will help her to hide it back at Asher’s place I believe as the girl who lost her wedding band (can never remember her name) was tasked to take it back somehow but she is too freaked out to do it. It was her job to do it appparently. I guess because Asher has the hots for her so she could easily get in? I’m not 100% on that yet.
Um MICHEAL? Her name is MICHEALA. lol.

Thank you. 🙂
That extra ‘a’ clearly is just too much for me.
That’s funny TT, now I will remember her name. Thanks Michael for clarifying about the Frank hookup.
Catching up on Gracepoint…getting good. Do you all watch?
Oh I on demand it when I have time. I think I have time right now. That is a good show. I’m also getting caught up on Revenge.
Only so many hours in the day with new fall lineups….even for an TV blogger. Though I admit slacking today. Sorry. It was a very big day for me here. I’ve wanted a Purple Dyson FOR YEARS AND YEARS. I’m really a very frugal person who doesn’t want many “things.” I could not bring myself to pay $600 for a fucking vacuum cleaner. I’ve asked for it for birthdays from suitors had them IN THE COSTCO giving my best quivering lip… NADA. I’ve looked for sales. I’ve come close to just biting the bullet. But seriously, a $600 vacuum? Someone came to my house with a purple Dyson and the angels sang and skys opened to heaven. No back and forth and back and forth. You just run the vacuum over an area once and ALL THE DIRT GOES IN THE VACUUM down to the floor bones! It’s like a miracle. Anyway. I went on Overstock and they have refurbished ones for a third the price. I pulled the trigger. I didn’t go on a birthday trip this year. (I am embarrassed how many times that has been my excuse in the last few months). And it came today.
It’s everything I dreamed and more. This is the first day of a beautiful relationship.
What were we talking about again?

I love my Dyson. Have a mini Dyson too for the car. Also a Roomba. I wish I had a cat just so that I could make it ride the Roomba for my entertainment. 🙂
Okay, I am seriously suffering from a case of Dyson envy. Does it really suck up the dirt as well as they say?
Yes. It is a life changing experience. Go work the pole and raise the money if need be. Overstock sells refurbished ones and mine looks new and works perfectly.
Enjoy your new toy! I want a Dyson so bad but out of my price range but I may have to check Overstock too. My old faithtful Oreck does the job! Great idea Michael I should get a mini vacuum for the car.
I consciously made the decision not to watch Gracepoint because per every review I’ve read, it doesn’t hold a candle to the original, British version called Broadpoint, which I’m hoping to somehow see since its supposed to be exceptionally good.
I have a 2 year old Dyson, but I never use it. It’s practically brand new, but my Shark Lift Away blows it out of the water. Seriously. Madly in love with it.
OH. Send me you cruely disrespected Dyson. I will love it as if it were my second born. BLASHPHEMY.

Overstock has 4 different purple vacuums. He hice one did you get?
“He hice” = “Which one”. How the hell does that happen?
Please, a blog that allows one to edit after the fact?
Not sure it matters. I picked the cheapest one. All purple ones are for pet hair.

I really enjoyed Scandal this week. Glad Smelly Melly took a shower and Abby was there for Olivia at the end of the episode. Fitz judgement is super cloudy..he wants to hate Jake because its easier to hate him than it is Poppa Pope. I can not stand Poppa Pope and think everyone needs to start turning into a little bitch around him and just kill him….or something
I really really want to enjoy How to get away with murder..but I just can’t. Annalise character could be great but we have seen too many sides of her personality and I havent been able to connect to any of them. The characters of that show means absolutly nothing and they do not stay in line with the plot ( I thought we would focus on the lost engagement ring..) Oh well…10:00pm is too late on a work night anyway….so I will catch recaps or maybe on demand it once in a while.
What’s really getting good again is Revenge, TT do you watch or have you covered that show?
I’m really into Revenge this season. Its pacing is much better than the previous two seasons. I just can’t wait until Emily can be Amanda again. At this point everyone important knows so why not just come out publicly?
Yes!!!! I’ve been hooked on Revenge this season too!! I don’t get why she’s still Emily at this point either…the secret’s out, but WHY did her dad try to kill her?? WTF?? Does he not realize that Emily is Amanda or did I miss something??? O_o
Victoria tricked him. She said that Emily was after Victoria and Charlotte and she was scared for her life. So while Victoria was off doing things and Charlotte was sleeping David broke into the Manor to kill Emily not knowing it was Amanda his daughter. Remember at this time everyone still (except for some main characters) believe that Amanda Clark died in that boat accident. Even Amanda’s mother thinks she is dead. However, when David saw Emily in bed he seemed to recognise her and paused. Then he got chased out by Nolan.
Oh and I assume that Emily/Amanda will come out publicly this season soon. She will try to reunite with her sister and dad at some point. She knows it was her dad he tried to kill her as Victoria “got to him first”, so she will probably try to scheme a way to get her dad away from Victoria, or turn him against Victoria.
Btw, does anyone else get a weird vibe from that new police guy? Jack’s partner. He asks a lot of questions for a small character role. I suspect he will play an important role soon.
Ok!!! Thanks for clearing that up…I totally missed that conversation between Victoria and David, but that makes it all clear now! 🙂
Yes, nuCop is way too nosey and will be tangled up in this messy mess really soon!
Omg nuCop! Love it. That is his new name from now on. 🙂
I’m loving this season as well. I had quit watching last season, so now I’m quickly watching those episodes. I watch ABC on Sunday night and love Once Upon a Time, Resurrection and Revenge.
I’ve been intrigued by the many faces of Annaleiese. Something about it makes me want to uncover who she really is…
Scandal and Grey’s are the best! I thought that I would love htgawm would be the same, don’t like it at all. I can’t believe creepy Cyrus is acting like he wasn’t in on his husband’s murder. Liv knows deep down Jake isn’t the bad guy. Fitz knows too, he is in a rage with Jake sleeping with Liv. At the season finale Poppa Pope put Momma Pope in the hole I don’t know which one is more evil, poor Liv. Huck is too distracted by his son he knows command is a bad man. I can’t see how killing Jake is going to make sense. David Rosen is too drunk and upset to remember Jake told him if he goes missing its because of B16. Now back to Grey’s was disappointed with Richard for not telling his daughter right away. I love how he’s been like a father to Meredith. I think he should get his daughters together. I think Callie is going to be with Owen next, she kept saying she’s bisexual. I do miss Christina.
I was Thinking the same thing about Callie and Owen getting together. Do you remember a few years ago they do an episode of what might have been if Ellis and Richard stayed together and Callie and Owen were married? Besides, they have to give Owen a love interest since Cristina is gone.
Yes, I remember that.
Ok the episode for How to Get Away With Murder strengthened the Wes Annalise mother son theory. If Sam and Annalise had an affair when she was fresh out of law school or still studying and got pregnant with Wes I’m assuming Sam pressures her to adopt the baby out and focus on her career and then they both end up marrying each other. When Annalise was shouting at Sam about his recent affair and let it slip that Sam was previously married and Annalise was his younger immature mistress it made me think that Wes really could be their son. It’s still a long shot but possible.
I also wonder why they took the statue from Asher and used it to kill Sam just to return it back to his place. Why did they need to use that object as the murder weapon? Are they trying to set Asher up or did the group decide that it’s best to use a weapon that theoretically is not in their posession (ie to everyones knowledge the statue is still at Asher’s place during the murder). I’d think it would be smarter to use a weapon that they could burn with the body.
These theories though make it appear that Sam’s murder is heavily planned. But the crying girl who lost her wedding band, I just can’t see how she would agree to be apart of any planned murder. She is too weak mentally. Maybe she thought she could handle it better?
Your theory makes sense as to why their is something btwn her and Wes. I’m still lost on how they got the statue from Asher too and now have to return it. Michaela has no stomach for this and she may end up telling all.
At this point, I watch Grey’s cause it’s just what I do on Thursday nights! LOL! Arizona and Callie have been over since McSteamy died. They should have broken up like 8, 000 years ago. The nuSister storyline will be back next week when Derek invites her to dinner. Should be intetesting!
Scandal
I was disappointed in Liv….she knows better…Imma need her to put on that white coat and GET TO POPE-ing! TT, they cant make Liv buy this Jake killed Jerry Jr mess….they just cant!
HTGAWM
Sooooooooooooo….Rebecca yells, “Look at the wallpaper!” Wes runs to Annalise house in the middle of the night, doesn’t knock on the door, just goes in and up to the bathroom, then confronts Annalise about her hubby being Mr. Darcy? *insert Super Side Eye here* Nope…not here for that…I’m good with Television and Hollywood and the whole willingness to suspend disbelief and all that jazz but that one made me cuss out Shonda & Shondaland Productions before I went to bed. LMAOOOOOO!
HTGAWM
Wes has free reign to enter the home at any time because he is Annalise’s ‘adopted out’ son with Sam who was married at the time to another woman. Although he and Sam do not know that yet. What’s so hard to believe? 🙂
In all seriousness I understand why some people don’t like how unrealistic this show and Revenge are. There was an interesting article written by an American Lawyer on the inconsistencies and mistakes of the show and what law school really is like. Kind of a bummer though.
“Although he and Sam do not know that yet.” <———–LMAOOOOOOO!!!!
And I get it…it's entertainment and I loved to be entertained, but the whole "Check the Wallpaper" was a hard for me to swallow….guess I'm over now, cause I've ranted and I will be tuning in next week! 🙂
Yeah I don’t get that either. Is the downstairs the office and the upstairs the living quarters? And why would Wes just prance into his professors living quarters let alone the fucking BATHROOM. And wasn’t she topless at the time he strolled in? and where was Sam?
It’s all very confusing.
ALso I am zipping through all the Revenge talk. Y’all are spoiling shit not discussed in this post. #HairyEyeball

LOL! Sorry TT! Didn’t know you watched Revenge!! Michael, we must email each other and discuss 🙂
And yes…even if downstairs is considered the “office”, Wes went Upstairs in the middle of the night…passed Sam who was supposed to be sleeping on the couch right?? Lawd I’m getting mad all over again cause I just remembered hubby was supposed to be DOWNSTAIRS SLEEPING ON DA COUCH!! LOL! LOL!
What a hot confusing mess!!
Yeah Sam was sleeping on the couch and Wes snuck past him. I was hoping that it would be revealed that Rebecca recognised Sam during their session and she just played along. Would have been better than the wallpaper storyline they went with.
TT what network is Gracepoint on? Also I stopped watching Grey’s after a couple seasons. Maybe I will try again. I love Revenge so I never miss it.as far as scandal I don’t believe they will kill Jake. I’m struggling getting into HTGAWM is it worth it? Your recaps are great (on all shows) so I guess I will. keep hanging in there. Thanks
Yeah, Sam was asleep on the couch and it was bedtime so why wasn’t the door locked? I think they work downstairs but clearly we learned they have to go upstairs to the bathroom LOL. I think she had on a nightgown but covered her ta ta’s when she stumbled upon Wes.
Gracepoint is on Fox and really good.
That damn Frank must have left it unlocked again (lol), just like the first time Wes strolled into her house the night he caught her and the cop doing the deed.
I’m dying to see what happens next week now that Frank will know.
Scandal: ~ I don’t care about Jake at all. ~ I’d like to see Mellie put on some pounds from all that eating and drankin (they should have her drink out of a red Solo cup just to drive a certain blogger bonkers). ~ Papa Pope is starting to wear out his co-star welcome. ~ I simply enjoy the week to week OPA cases each week. I’m over Olivia and Fitz and Olivia and Jake
HTGAWM: ~ I don’t understand the point of having an auditorium full of students when Annalise only calls on her 5 co-stars every ep! Lol. ~ Wes is quite odd…and no, him busting up in that house that late is unbelievable.
Good point. Mellie should be heavier with all the munching and drinking she has been doing…..lol at the red solo cup
The only Shonda show I’m watching is Grey’s, and that’s because I’ve been watching since the first season. I’m missing Cristina, and the Alex/Meredith friendship is not a substitute for the twisted sisters. Arizona and Callie have been in trouble since they met. I miss Callie/McSteamy as best friends. McDreamy is a douche so often I rarely like him. Bailey was one of my favorites, but her story lines the last few years has been awful.
I am starting to think that Bonnie is Sam’s daughter. His very, very unhappy daughter. Could that be?
Bonnie is in love with Sam either secretly or they also had an affair. Annaliese said something to her like ‘clearly you’re helping someone in this house and it’s not me’. TT can probably quote it correctly.
She also thanked Bonnie for “protecting my husband”. That was in a very bitchy tone too.
Ok there is one thing about HTGAWM that really bothers me…….the class has like 100 students yet the same students answer the questions. I mean I get its about them but.come on!!!
That drives me nuts too. I mean every now and then couldn’t they throw one of the extras a bone.
Also noticed the lawyers never seem to approach the bench, but instead shout all of this stuff out right in front of the jury. Dramatic effect I suppose.
@TT, so are you up to date with Revenge yet? Love to hear your take on it, and start bitching about who I hate this season again. 🙂
