"Im a thrill seeker... Welcome to Chicago, the good ol' ripper days."
Flashbacks to the 1920's revealed a secret, dark, twisted and playeresque side to Stefan, that was fascinating and chilling at the same time. As mentioned in my post from last week (and the God's have heard my plee) Katerina has been found with her comical one liners and all! But let me just bite right into episode cause it was by far the greatest one yet!
Stefan and Klaus (or should I call him Nick) have a deep connection that goes way back to the 1920's. They were friends, "brothers" if you will. Klaus was intrigued by the way Stefan tortured his victims and saw that he could be great with him by his side. The Stefan from back in the day had no mercy for anyone. While on the run Klaus erased all of Stefans memories of that night, which included his love for Rebecca, an original/ Klaus's sister. Who knew there was a playful kinky side to Stefan. He had to have remembered that menage a trois...
As Klaus digs deeper to find out why his master plan went wrong, he goes straight to the place where it all began- Gloria's. He seeks answers from Gloria, a witch that looks wicked for her age, and realizes he has to bring Rebecca back from the dead in order to get more answers.
Elena is still chasing after Stefan hoping she can somehow save him the way Lexi did years back, but does he even want to be saved? After she is almost discovered by Klaus in Stefan's old apartment, her master plan with Damon fails ultimately as Stefan harshly tells her that he does not want to be with her, she is a closed chapter in his life and he just wants her to leave. All of those feelings are about to be forgotten quickly- for Stefan at least. "After i'm done with him, he wont want to come back," and Klaus always knows how to manipulate his subjects. Helping Stefan remember that night and the feelings he had for Rebecca, Stefan will soon be wondering Elena who? After he gets the antique necklace that is. That terrifying, but brilliant moment, revealed to us that Klaus has accomplished what he wanted and has Stefan in the most vulnerable state,exactly where he needs him.
Anyone else believe Caroline's dad should have been shot or burned at the stake or something? You can't fix what isn't broken Billy.
Caroline's mother has come a long way from being a bitter vampire hunter to a mother who will do just about anything for her daughter and has accepted her the way she is. She even gave her the vampire juice box.
Tyler finally stepped up and helped saved his girlfriend. Fans cannot help but smile during any scene with this couple. They are effortlessly perfect for each other just like the song played during the scene. "I find shelter in this way Under cover, hide away Can you hear when I say I have never felt this way"
A few random thoughts
-Who is after Nick and Rebecca since the 1920's? Could it possibly be their father? Klaus is obviously scared and running from someone or something..
-What is Katerina up to. She looked damn fine in that Cleopatra wig but why is she in Chicago? What did she see back then? Why is she following the group so closely, and what does she need from Damon.
-Why is Elena still resisting Damon?
To Die For Quotes
-Damon: Stefan is still Klaus's prisoner, Elena still thinks she can save him and no ones thought about you since you left.
-Elena: Its antique Damon, like you.
-Elena: What were you doing in the 1920's? Paving the way for women's liberation?
-Damon: I am shocked! Stefans a virgin?!?
-Rebecca: Your still wearing your date. She's lovely.
-Klaus: Don't let your heart do anything stupid.
-Damon: She isn't going anywhere until she can check you into vampire rehab.

Ringer- If you ever want a French lesson...
"Because your clearly someone whose just as desperate as I am to keep a secret"
This weeks episode of Ringer was not as intense as the previous two have been, but hell is about the break loose judging by the previews for next week.
Right off the bat, Bridget jumps to the conclusion that Siobhan's husband is the one that hired the hit-man to kill her. She starts digging deeper trying to find out more information on her sisters marriage and ends up stumbling onto a divorce attorneys card. She pays a visit there only to realize her judgements about her husband were wrong. It kind of seems like there could even be a love story there.
Henry, Gemma's husband pulls out his share from Andrew's company in order to publish his novel. It seemed to me like the issue was on a more personal level for Henry then just about the money this whole situation is going to progress further, leading to Gemma's discovery about the affair. Why does Olivia want to keep Gemma and Henry part of the company? What ties do they have that Andrew said he was not going after again?
Andrew- "The two of you can go and talk about how much you hate your husbands." Well said my friend, well said.
Now who is stalking Siobhan? From the many encounters with this unknown man I got the feeling that him and Siobhan had some sort of deal or partnership. It seems like there is a chunk of the puzzle that Bridget is not aware of especially when he says "You killed our mutual friend." Our? Mutual friend? Backup....Maybe the guy is actually good and wants to help her? What does he need the phone for and why is he so persistent on getting it?
Seeing Malcolm get tortured and drugged was brutal, but Bridget should probably stop calling him. People can track cellphones nowadays, so if you are going to steal someone else's identity don't leave traces darling!
Watching the real Siobhan pursue Tyler while speaking French and then kicking him out mid hook up because she had to puke was mighty enjoyable. I guess Siobhan was the only one that didn't get the memo that she was pregnant. It was interesting to see fear in her eyes and the longing for Henry after her discovery shows there might have been actual feelings? I wonder how Tyler is going to come into play in this whole storyline as we were introduced to identity number 3- Cora.

90210- Greek Tragedy
"Sometimes the darkest nights give rise to the brightest mornings"
I have mixed feelings about this season of 90210. One problem I really have with the show is that everything is so cliche. For example Naomi re-enacting a scene from the movie House Bunny. It was actually tragic to watch, and we all knew the outcome of that storyline. Now bad girl on campus has made friends with a bunch of "losers" that are going to help her take down frat girl Holly. Bore. Also, they have portrayed Naomi to be a rich girl socialite that manipulates people into doing whatever she wants in past seasons and all of a sudden she cant see through someone exactly like her, for the second time? Come on.
The whole pregnant theme is also so overused. I understand babies create unwanted drama especially for a show about teens/college students, but once again-cliche. All of a sudden Liam is going to step up to the plate for this girl and help her raise a baby that isn't even his, but he couldn't commit to a high school relationship with Annie? Maybe he's just doing it out of guilt since he feels like he is the reason behind the death of Jane's husband. Either way, I feel really bad for Annie. Girl put herself out there for a guy she has continuously fought for and it blows up in her face. Not cool! Hasn't Annie had enough messed up relationships?
Dixon has obviously been taking those ADHD pills. Punching walls is the first sign of anger issues on the rise. Also, does Ade remind anyone else of a cat? She just creeps her way into everyones life and makes promises and apologies she obviously cant keep. This girl just never learns, no wonder she cant keep any friends! And her snooping skills- extraordinary! Who would have thought to snoop around in another girls garbage. She just continues surprising me every week- stealing bipolar meds, trips to Africa, pregnancy advice; this girls got it all down.
But enough of my complaining, Silver and Navids storyline has potential. Although not so realistic that Justin Biebers people are calling Shirazi studio's, the situation with his uncle and supporting the family and keeping Silver safe is very believable and actually makes me like Navid for a change.
Ivy is also a character that I was not fond of but I see the real emotion in because she is dealing with things that I assume more fans can relate to and find a connection with.

Gossip Girl- Yes then zero
"A Heroin Doesn't Get Her Happy Ending Without Overcoming Some Obstacles"
Did you hear that Blair Waldorf??
But what a splendid life it must be. She has Humphrey's, She has the prince of Monaco, and she has Chuck Bass. But before we get into all that can I just say its good to have Gossip Girl back in my life.
From all the shows that went on hiatus this summer I think the characters of GG are the ones that grew up the most. But despite all that, some things never change... Like Nate's love for older rich women....
We are introduced to some new scenery this season as the 3 best friends embark on their journey to L.A.
Serena is working on the set of The Beautiful and the Damned (what a coincidence), Nate is lounging on his yacht and trying to find himself in his champagne glass, and Chuck is a bad-ass, dare devilish, adrenaline junkie full of wise and oddly accurate guidance-- sort of like a wise owl. A guru if you must. Thats not to say that just cause he can deal with everyone else's problems he can deal with his own. Saying YES to everything is a start. Just say yes. And although realistically that could lead to some really horrible things, in GG world saying yes seems to work out for everyone. And what would any GG episode be without the famous "He's Chuck Bass."
Blair is busy planning a wedding and testing her soon to be husband on his loyalty. Yep nothing has changed on the Upper East Side. And although it does look like Blair has fallen in love with Louie we all know she is meant to be with Chuck. Good try Dorota, but we all know Blairs got a bun in the oven and we all know its going to be a little Bass.
Why we see Dan coaching little league is beyond me, I guess there isnt much to do in the Hamptons anymore when all your friends have moved on to bigger and better things. His storyline does pick up though when his story about Blair gets sold by the one and only Vanessa. Not only did she sell the story though, she published a whole goddamn book! Poor Chuck hoping someone would write a book about him, only to have Blair swoop in and steal the spotlight.
And to sum it all up talk about wrong place at the wrong time Serena. Just when everything was going good you run into Charlie. Crazy-not-even-your-cousin-fake-Charlie. I can just smell the scandals piling up.
Other side notes about the episode
-Dorota is hilarious
-So is Rufus, especially his "Realhousewife arrest of New York" joke... Classic
- Also Rufus' skinny jeans.
-Since when does Serena not drink... clearly the most unbelievable part of the episode.
-Did I mention Nate really likes them older women...
-Even when Vanessa gets kicked off the show, she still causes problems. No one likes you, let it go!
-Anyone else miss Lil J?
Did you miss the Upper East Siders just as much as I did? XoXo <3

Music by Episode- Vamps and Secret Circle
Hello, Hello, Anybody Out There Cause I Don't Hear a Sound....
"Damon: When I drag my brother back from the edge and deliver him back to you, I want you to remember the things you felt when he was gone"
It's not your fault It was me who chanced it all
Music You Cant Live Without, Couples Worth Falling in Love With.

The Secret Circle- Bound
This weeks secret circle made up for last weeks for sure. Loved the Harry Potter reference to lighten the mood!
I was more intrigued by the characters, the plot line, and when Faye's mother killed her grandfather I was definately hooked. I saw the potential for the show.
As new girl I loved the Cassie stood up for herself to Faye. The lightbulb incident to me was a little cheesy and I hope they work on the relationship between those two in the future. If there is such a fate and deep rooted connection I want to be able to feel it.
The tension between Faye and Cassie is brilliant though. It is a fight between good and evil, but both are on the same team. It opens up a lot of doors for future story arcs but also allowed us to see just how massive their individual powers can be if not controlled and constrained. I was shocked though, how believable it was to everyone that after a fall on the rocks, Sally could survive. No one even questioned it. Hm.
Besides for Cassie, Faye, and Adam the other characters do not faze me much yet. I believe Diana will have a crucial role because she is the one that wants to bind the circle and as we found out from grandpa binding the circle would be trouble for everybody and no good can come of it. Is it possible that the teens got their facts wrong? But whats in it for Dawn and Tom? If their children have powers can they somehow resurrect theirs?
Next weeks previews seem like they jump straight into the action, and for good reason. After they binded the circle I imagine all hell will break loose. While we wait for next week enjoy the promo :) Whose Nick? Why is he after them! Ah tell me! Tell me!

The Vampire Diaries- The Hybrid
This was probably one of the bloodiest and goriest episodes of the Vampire Diaries by far!
Stefan and Klaus finally found the wolf pack and wasted no time brutally transforming each other into Klaus's perfect hybrid army. But wait, somethings wrong! After Ray fed to complete his transformation things didn't look too good for him. As Klaus's "soldiers" died one by one he was left pretty pist off (a side of Klaus we have never seen before) and wondering what the hell went wrong. He killed a werewolf, vampire and the doppleganger... Wait, Stefan whats that guilty face your making? The doppleganger is alive?! Well we all knew that... and apparently now, Klaus does too. Either way he saves Stefan from a nasty wolf bite, out of pure loneliness I assume. But whats next of Klaus's agenda now that tons of werewolves, which are hard to get your hands on in the first place, are dead! A whole summer wasted!
Carol Lockwood screwed up. Theres no way to put it. Don't mess with things you don't understand. Thinking she was protecting her son from a monster she didnt realize that he is no different, possibly even worse. But once you call in reinforcements theres no way to back out of it. After Caroline is revealed to us in the last 20 seconds of the episode we see that the man Carol Lockwood called in to take care of the "vampire problem" in Mystic Falls is actually Caroline's dad. Daddy issues to a heightened extreme anyone?
The Jeremy and Matt storyline is moving in a slow pace in my opinion. Vicky needs help, Anna begs Jeremy not to trust her. Can you even come back from the dead without Bonnie's help? Really, your haunting the wrong person Vicky.
Overal, everything is a little gloom and doom without Katerina. I think we should find her and bring her back ASAP. I sense Elena will be in need of a guiding hand and who better then big sis Kat? Crossing my fingers for her return next week!

But whats next of Klaus's agenda now that tons of werewolves, which are hard to get your hands on in the first place, are dead! A whole summer wasted!
Elena drags her comrades Damon and Rick to the Smokey Mountains and puts everyone in danger also revealing that she's still alive before Klaus catches on. Not a way to save your boyfriend from a psycho hybrid, just saying.
Why doesn't she just give up and fall for Damon? Oh she already has. Its okay to love them both Elena, Katherine did. The tension and emotional connection between Damon and Elena is what makes the show so appealing and real. Its wrong to fall for your boyfriends brother, but have you met Damon? And last I checked he's still around while Stefan- not so much. No girl can resist that and Damon knows it. The new Damon walks around flaunting his new found feelings but that doesn't change the fact that he's been emotionless for centuries and is doing this for all the wrong reasons. He see's that no matter what kind of a monster his brother becomes he will not let his loved ones die, he can still be saved. So Damon the hero will help Elena save her beloved boyfriend but when he's back in her arms she should remember how she felt when he was gone... Damn. Word to mind manipulation at its finest. Team Find Stefan

90210- Rush Hour
This weeks 90210 gave us a lot of laughs with Annie and Naomi pledging a sorority. But it still did not fulfill my cravings for the show.
Naomi is hated at CU for having a huge party thats crashed by the cops leaving half the football team suspended. Ade is crashing at Dixon's apartment and being super fake as always while she feng shui's the apartment. Annie is chatting up her new friend Jeremy on campus. Teddy is nowhere to be seen (and probably wont be back for awhile). Silver and Navid are looking for Navid's sister who sends them a horribly acted out "kidnap" video message saying that she needs $50,000. Is anyone else really just over the Silver and Ade drama? Dixon has no storyline except for being a DJ and contemplating if he should take adderoll. Navid's sister is annoying, naive, and dumb. As for bad bitch Naomi, you would think she could smell a rat a mile away, but nope. She is fooled by sorority president Holly when she promises her a spot in the sorority and makes Naomi do crazy hazing activities. Annie finds out Jeremy actually isn't a student at CU but actually the grandson who will not let Annie get any of his families money. Ouch.
I think Liam has the most interesting story going right now. After coming back from working on the boat he proposes to Annie, gets rejected, gets drunk, buys a bar, freaks out, decides to keep the bar, drunkenly talks about Jane, then Jane pops up out of nowhere, we find out her husband was killed covering Liam's ship on the boat, he feels guilt for it, tells her she needs to leave, apologizes in the end and ends up telling her he fell for her and goes to sleep with her. Wait what about Annie? Boy sure does rebound fast! Meanwhile Navid ends up going to his uncle for the money to make that tattoo artist creep back off his sister.
Overall 90210 is fun to watch cause it brings familiar faces but I just do not get anything out of the show anymore like I do from Vampire Diaries or Ringer. Maybe thats just me. But I must add the PIG was hilarious!!!!

Ringer- She's Ruining Everything
Ringer has hit it off with high ratings since its premiere last week, but that truly is no surprise. We have been thrown into a world where there is no way out from the problems. Running away from her own life and her problems Bridget didn't stop to think that what she knew about Siobhan rarely scratched the surface of all the secrets she was hiding. After killing a man in self defense Bridget has no idea how to cover up her tracks. Through an hour long episode we watch anxiously as Bridget tries to hide a dead mans body from her best friend, who is trying to the bottom of her husbands affair, and from her husbands work cocktail party. In between that she is dodging the detective Victor, still faking a pregnancy (I wonder how she's going to pull that off), and bonding on emotional levels with her husband and his daughter Juliet.
What makes this show so intriguing is the raw emotion of the characters. Siobhans relationship with her husband has been falling apart pretty obviously (possible sexy co-worker threat?) and while we all thought Bridget was the messed up sister we see that Bridget would be a better wife than Siobhan was. Andrew points that out saying "It was like I had the old Siobhan back. Don't go away again." But what happened to Siobhan that she so drastically changed?
While plotting to run away with Malcolm, Bridget soon learns that she has to stay. After repeatedly running into Juliet, who is quite the hot mess, she see's a lot of her past in Juliet's actions- the drinking, the drugs, the need to feel accepted and loved. In some weird way she feels the need to help Juliet with her struggle and in that touching bathroom scene when she asks Juliet what she wants her to do Juliet replies "don't leave" and we have the making of a beautiful mother-daughter relationship.
Making up her mind that she is going to stay and tough it out for the people that need Siobhan she ditches Malcolm, but I think Malcolm is soon to have some problems of his own with a serial killer horror movie style flashing his lights at him in a parking lot.
As Bridget finally attempts to clean up the mess (aka the dead body) she realizes it has dissapeared from her clever hiding spot. Meanwhile real Siobhan is in Paris trying to withdrawal money from her account which Bridget conveniently took out the day before. She makes an angry "This has to get done, She's Ruining Everything" phone call, but come on Shiv did you really think you would leave your sister and she would need your money? Whats she ruining? Who is the man that eerily crashed the party? What happened to the dead body? I just have so many questions.
Also, GREAT music choice today. I especially loved Little Deschutes by Laura Veirs. Seriously just added more goosebumps for me.

Andrew points that out saying "It was like I had the old Siobhan back. Don't go away again." But what happened to Siobhan that she so drastically changed?
While plotting to run away with Malcolm, Bridget soon learns that she has to stay. After repeatedly running into Juliet, who is quite the hot mess, she see's a lot of her past in Juliet's actions- the drinking, the drugs, the need to feel accepted and loved. In some weird way she feels the need to help Juliet with her struggle and in that touching bathroom scene when she asks Juliet what she wants her to do Juliet replies "don't leave" and we have the making of a beautiful mother-daughter relationship.
Making up her mind that she is going to stay and tough it out for the people that need Siobhan she ditches Malcolm, but I think Malcolm is soon to have some problems of his own with a serial killer horror movie style flashing his lights at him in a parking lot.
As Bridget finally attempts to clean up the mess (aka the dead body) she realizes it has dissapeared from her clever hiding spot. Meanwhile real Siobhan is in Paris trying to withdrawal money from her account which Bridget conveniently took out the day before. She makes an angry "This has to get done, She's Ruining Everything" phone call, but come on Shiv did you really think you would leave your sister and she would need your money? Whats she ruining? Who is the man that eerily crashed the party? What happened to the dead body? I just have so many questions.
Also, GREAT music choice today. I especially loved Little Deschutes by Laura Veirs. Seriously just added more goosebumps for me.

The Secret Circle- Pilot
I could give you a list comparing The Secret Circle to The Vampire Diaries, but that’s not to say the series premiere wasn’t intriguing and full of beginner Bonnie witchcraft. Even though it was enough to make me come back for more it was missing one crucial piece… humor. What makes The Vampire Diaries so compelling (no pun intended) is the lighthearted and sarcastic humor they bring to even the worst of situations. I hope that Kevin Williamson incorporates some of that into The Secret Circle.
In the first 10 minutes we are introduced to Cassie. Her life is turned upside down after her mother dies in an accidental fire. Little does she know the fire was no accident but rather conjured by Charles (Diana’s warlock father). It seems as though this is an attempt on Dawn and Charles’ part to lure Cassie back to her mother’s hometown.
Cassie is then harassed by bad girl Faye, befriended by Diana, spied on by the cute blonde neighbor next door, and hitting it off with eyeliner boy also Diana’s boyfriend. After her car catches on fire and she cannot escape she begins to think weird things happen in this town. Diana brings her to an old abandoned house where the 5 teens explain to her she is a witch. She tries running away but Adam makes some magic with her that reminds me of a bad moment from Twilight, and then tries to kiss her. He has a girlfriend remember? I’m not quite sure he does. But we soon find out there is “fate” at play here and that the two families were destined to be together. What does that mean?
Meanwhile we are left with so many unanswered questions. Why was Cassie’s father a “bad guy”? Why did each of the teens loose a parent? Why did the spells go bad 16 years ago? Why did Charles kill Cassie’s mother? If everyone is against the secret circle coming about again why do Charles and Dawn want it to happen?
Although lots of potential for the show the first episode wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. As a show about witches and the power of 6 I really hope that the magic becomes a lot better then conjuring up a storm and lighting things on fire. With the right spells this might just become the next big obsession.
The Vampire Diaries- The Birthday
Season 3 asked you fasten your seatbelt from beginning to end. And it doesn’t look like the ride is going to stop anytime soon.
Klaus and Stefan are on a mission to find Ray a new werewolf, ripping apart to shreds any innocent humans that get in their way. We knew from last season that Stefan would transition to the darkside but he has flipped the switch and it sort of seems like he’s enjoying it… he is Damon from season 1 with no soul and no remorse for his actions. We like to believe that there is some good in sweet Stefan. I mean even Damon said that after he brutally murders his victims he feels bad and puts them back together…. Sounds morbid if you ask me but I’ll take it….
So what do these two road-rippers want from Ray. Obvious from the beginning Klaus wants to find a pack of werewolves and create a superior hybrid race. Annoyed by Damon following their trail, Klaus lets Stefan go take care of his brother. Making his comeback with “Hello Brother” and dropping his brothers girlfriend from 50 feet in the air while Damon watches gets his point across don’t you think? Oh how the tables have turned! We get it, were going to let you go Stefan. Don’t you think this makes them even though? Damon killed Lexi, Stefan killed Andie. 1-1. But in the ending scene we see that Stefan is just a prisoner with no way out. He calls Elena and she tells him she loves him and she will never let him go and for a second it makes you forget that you’re a Delena fan….
We move on to happier times now—Elena’s 18th birthday. Thank God we have sweet Caroline to throw her friend a “small party.” Although sans Stefan, Elena and Damon have gotten extraordinarily close. Damon has been tracking down his brother with Rick, indulging in morning champagne showers with his ACTUAL girlfriend Andie and being overly sweet by giving Elena her necklace back for her birthday. But as Damon pointed out “its your party and you can cry if you want too.” And clearly Elena had a lot to cry about.
Bonnie is most likely on the set of Secret Circle. I’m sure Elena understands. Alaric is a lost soul being a chaperone from hell to all his high school students. Jeremy is seeing dead people. No literally… But what do they want? Anna and Vicky don’t stop to chitchat but rather appear randomly with cryptic messages and scare the crap out of Jeremy. Just blame it on the weed dude, blame it on the weed.
Caroline and Tyler, because we can assume their together now right? The sexual tension between these two is obvious at first glance, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t offer up some hilarious moments. Senses are heightened when you are a supernatural and these two are horny ALL THE TIME. As they toy with each others emotions Tyler brings a date to Elena’s party. Caroline doesn’t approve of this and tells the chick to leave using her manipulating vampire eyes. Tyler flips out on her, which leads to a hot makeup and then enough vamp-werewolf sex to make everyone around them horny. But nothing last forever and as Caroline does her walk of shame in the morning Mrs. Lockwood shoots her! Will Caroline be ok? Will Tyler wake up and save his girlfriend? How did Carol Lockwood know? So many plot line possibilities for the season to come! Welcome back to Mystic Falls.

Ringer- Pilot
"Your life seems perfect"
"Close to it.. No ones life is perfect"
And boy was Buffy right.... I mean Siobhan... I mean Bridget... Well whatever! It's great to see Sarah Michelle Geller on screen again, even if she isn't slaying Vampires anymore.
She is, on the other hand, playing a dual role as twin sisters Siobhan and Bridget.
Bridget is an ex addict/exotic dancer/ murder witness. Her sister Siobhan is the Blair of the show, only much more twisted and corrupt as we soon come to learn.
After Bridget escapes a shady motel where she is hiding out from criminal/ killer out to get her, she goes to visit her estranged sister after years of not keeping in touch. The reunion doesn't last long though as Bridget wakes up on a yacht with Siobhan nowhere to be found. Assuming that Siobhan killed herself she sees an easy way out of her own problems and slides into the role of her sister. But as her sister warned her "No ones life is perfect" and Siobhans might have been even worse then Bridget's. Under the picture perfect life we soon find out that Siobhan is in a lonely and loveless marriage, sleeping with her best friends husband, lying to her best friend about it, and on top of all that FOUR MONTHS PREGNANT! After an awkward dinner party with both couples we soon realize that the father of her baby, well her sisters baby might not even be her husband, but her best friends husband aka the lover. Oh what a tangled web they weave. I hope your not lost yet.
Her best friend Gemma comes to a conclusion that she might know who the other woman is and as Bridget/Siobhan heads over to the lofts to comfort her friend she is attacked by a masked man. Her killer Buffy insticts kick in and she shoots the attacker screaming "I'm not who you think I am, I'm not Bridget." But as she reaches into the attackers pocket she finds a picture with Siobhans name under it. Could it possibly be that someone actually wanted to kill Siobhan? And then we are left with the ultimate question. As an ending scene flashes to "Siobhan" in Paris and she eerily stares out the window we begin to wonder is Siobhan really alive? Is this all a set up? Could they be triplets?
I'll admit they've got me hooked.

90210- Up In Smoke
The gang from the popular zip code is back, but their stories are a lot duller than last season by far.
First of all we have spoiled little Naomi, who has broken up with nerdy Max, bought herself a palace, and threw a goodbye summer party. During the party everyone was to throw some bad memory into the fire pit and celebrate the future. Sound a little like the OTH burning boat episode?? Speaking of One Tree Hill I can't wait for that season to start! Oh yah Naomi also flirted with newcomer/hillbilly/ Dixons new roomate Austin. Liam came back and asked Annie to marry him after not talking to her all summer. As if that isn't bad enough he used such a cliche line. "I know I should have called but i'm here now and thats all that matters." No dude. Thats not all that matters. You don't leave for a whole summer, go missing in action, and then make it up with a gorgeous ring. You just don't. But as if being rejected once wasn't enough, Annie rejects him during his 2nd proposal at Naomi's party followed by akwardly timed fireworks. Although done classy im still not convinced, and neither is Annie who apparently has grown a lot as a person this summer.
Adrianna is still being pathetic as ever, trying to fix her relationship with Silver. Its one thing to steal a boyfriend from someone, its another to steal their bipolar meds. Silver and Navid are parents... well no not really but Navid's bratty and highly dramatic little sister has moved into their one bedroom apartment. Raj and Ivy are still married. Can someone explain to me why all these 19 year old's want to get married? I must have missed the memo... By the end of the epi Liam is wasted buying a bar on the beach, Adrianna is sleeping with the new guy, and Teddy is leaving a voicemail for his dad letting him know that he's gay. Although lots of drama, I wasn't all that impressed by the premiere. Lets hope next week gives me something better. If not theres always rumors of Jersey Shore's Vinny coming by to spice things up!!!
