Ringer- Whores don't make that much

"I thought maybe she was turning tricks, but whores don't make that much"

According to this weeks episode the past has a lot to do with how we act in our future. We encountered a lot of flashbacks into Siobhan's and Bridget's past to get a clearer understanding of just how damaged the relationship between these two is. Bridget never intentionally hurt Siobhan's son as I originally assumed. She wasn't even using at the time this happened. The reason for all her drug problems and what came with that was a result of this accident. Seems to me that both twins had a tough life, but while Shiv worked to keep her family prospering Bridget was the one that raised that boy. Thats probably why she is so deeply affected by everything even so many years later. I do think that she took it a little to far by forgiving Dillan as Siobhan. The way I see it, Shiv has become so bitter about life that she isn't able to forgive anybody at this point and it isn't up to Bridget to make those decision, whether she thinks Bridget is dead or alive.


Juliet's mother remains a mystery. After Juliet scammed her own father by accusing a teacher of sexual assault she is now stuck in a situation that is bound to get exposed, if not worse, eat at her soul. Is Carpenter really behind the beating of the third party involved? Sure seems like it. He did exactly what Juliet asked him to do... Silenced her. As of right now we aren't aware of anymore suspects, but I am assuming the whole ordeal is about to get a lot deeper and trickier. My question is what was this all for? It obviously wasn't a cry for help on Juliet's side. Is this her mothers way of getting cash out of Andrew? Juliet really is becoming a little puppet on a string. If she had thought about her actions for just one second she could have actually had a shot at a functional family... As functional as you can get with a twin sister pretending to be somebody else.


As of right now all signs are pointing at Henry. In this case that Henry was the one that wanted to kill Shiv or at the very least that he is the one stalking Bridget. I can't even begin to analyze the situation because to me it just isn't very clear what Siobhan's intentions are. Can we really believe they are all pure and she just wants Andrew's money to live happily ever after with Henry. All we know is that Bridget is tired of hiding behind Siobhan and although that makes all the sense in the world, how is she going to explain to Andrew that she really isn't Shiv. That she's been pretending to be her sister while her sister committed "suicide" and for the past couple of months he's been dating the "whore." Of course she would loose all the people she cared about in a heart beat. Its natural to get sick of pretending to be someone else but she has to think about what she is risking by revealing the truth. She would loose the acceptance of the people she cares about and Macawi would be after her in a heart beat, right along with Machado. This show has a way of not revealing where it is going. From previews we see that Shiv might actually be pregnant with Andrews baby. What that means, I have no idea.

Pretty Little Liars- Breaking the Code

3 Episodes Left Until A Is Revealed!!!!
Which is probably why there was more action in this episode than in the whole season combined. I'll start by touching on Aria and Ezra because they are the most emotionally satisfying couple. Twists and turns in this hour long episode as Ezria went from a heart breaking split to a breakthrough, mainly with Aria's mother when she finally stopped acting like a fool driving her teenager daughter around from play date to play date and started paying attention to her daughter. She realized that Aria really does love Ezra and that this relationship means much more to her than anything her parents could try to teach her. Sometimes kids need to learn from experience and sometimes parents don't always know whats best for their children. The tea party at Mr. Fitz's house was probably the best Ezria moment thus far. 


For ABC family to condone teenage alcoholism is absurd but man, Spencer should be intoxicated every episode. For a girl who is always so uptight and serious, the drunk Spencer is a hoot. Who knew that all her buried feelings for Wren would come out in such sexual ways. Seems forgetting about Toby wasn't as hard as we thought it would be. But I wonder what part in all of this Wren is going to play? I mean A will only go after the people that mean the most to the liars. If Spencer has a new boy toy it makes him just as much as a target as it made Toby, especially cause Wren is Melissa's ex and from what was revealed this week from Caleb's decoded footage, Melissa is the number one suspect in the murder of Allison. 


Which isn't so surprising as we knew from day one that Melissa wasn't innocent and had something to do with the murder. What we didn't know is what connected her to everything. First of all lets talk about how freakishly creepy Garett is.... Because he is. Nothing makes stalking people okay... Nothing, not even being a police officer and enforcing public safety. Stalking is not okay. Second of all he had a secret relationship with Jenna, but now he's going to the ob-gyn with Melissa?? And Melissa has to tell Spencer something, something she wanted to tell her the day of Ian's funeral? Could it possibly be that Garett is the father of her baby? Could that be the reason Jenna dumped him and left him hanging?? Now my brain is going into overdrive and I'm trying to connect all the dots that are just impossible to connect. Jenna dumped Garett and moved on to Noel Kahn. But what makes Noel connected to the original four that were in that video??? 
Aside from the fact that Garett is possibly the father of Melissa's baby, we have another clue leading us to believe she wanted Ali dead. After Spencer coughed up the 2 grand that her newly attributed brother granted her in order to get to the bottom of this mystery all Jonah gave them was an address. An address that led the girls to a abandoned law firm, which ended up being a law firm that Melissa interned at (possibly the summer of Ali's death) where she could have sent all those creepy texts. She had an alibi to kill Ali, Ali was was fooling around with her boyfriend. But is that enough reason to want to wipe someone off the planet? 


There are still so many questions left un-answered. Who is Vivian? How did Ali know Vivian? Who is A now? Could it still be Melissa? How the hell is everyone tied together, I know its a small town but realistically it is not possible. Why is A involving Mona and why does A want to ruin her so badly? Is it because she is Noel's ex or because she has a part in everything as well? And it seems like the parents are getting involved as well? A is not only targeting the liars at this point but the detective on the case, the parents and all of the liars loved ones. Is it because we are getting to close. And while we wrap our heads around all this information, did anyone stop to think what happens when A is revealed? I think we're so caught up in figuring out who it is, we don't know what were going to do when we actually find out. As an episode so chock full of information, I feel a little on overload. Does anyone else think that Melissa is just thrown in as bait so when A is finally revealed we don't know what hit us? Cause I don't know what to believe at this point. 

Gossip Girl- Cross Rhodes

"The most painful rejection always comes from those you love the most."
The cats out of the bag, but that doesn't mean that we're seeing the last of Charlie. Unfortunately the revelation of fake Charlie came at a time when the family was dealing with the loss of the beloved CiCi. She always was the glue holding that dysfunctional family together. To my surprise, the family was not as upset as I thought they would be when they found out about the switcheroo. The real twist is going to come when Serena finds out her cousin is now dating her ex boyfriend. Seems like Serena is the "it" girl that has lost all of her ex's to people that she once trusted. There is just no luck in the love department for that girl. 


Loosing Dan Humphrey is extreme, but loosing him to Blair Waldorf now that will make your jaw drop. I cannot say I am a full blown Dair worshipper, but there is something about the pureness and honesty of the relationship, (Alright despite the fact that he's the one that blasted Queen B on GG and made her a slave in her marriage) that shows that he truly cares about her. There has never been any BS with him, any "foreplay" if you must, that was the foundation of Blairs relationship with Chuck. I still see Dan and Blair as friends though and it is much more entertaining to watch them fight and quibble with an exchange of quirky remarks. Anyhow, its funny to see how the tables have turned. As S used to be the girl everyone worshipped and admired and the girl that got everything handed to her Blair always felt like she was in her shadow. Now Blair is a married woman, the princess of Monaco and has two perfectly charming suitors waiting at her hand and foot, while Serena watches on miserably. 


What irritates me is that the writers to everything in their power to stall the Blair and Chuck relationship. Blair is being rather selfish, she's holding Chuck on a leash and as much as she believes in his "goodness" by holding that leash so tightly she is forcing him into his old ways. Chuck is way better than all the scheming and sleeping with people to get what he wants, but Blairs actions make his poor decisions justifiable. Its not fair to make him suffer because she's confused on what she wants out of life and who she loves. At this point, her confusion is hurting everyone around her. Well except Nate who once again is left sweeping the poor, sad, distraught girl off her feet. 


I wonder what kind of revenge real Charlie is going to brew up for Ivy... Should she even be mad at Ivy at this point? All she was doing was playing a role. The life of an actress can be extremely hard. And maybe her mother really was just trying to do the best thing for her daughter. The Upper East Side can be a tricky world for people that aren't able to play the game. And Ivy learned how to play it real well, especially with an acquaintance like Georgina brewing up... Real Charlie doesn't seem to have the backbone to take on their world full force... Not yet at least. 


Memorable Quotes

  • GG: February is the shortest month, but the bitter chill makes it feel the longest. The smart ones, like me, escape to more tropical climates, while some of my Upper East Side friends use the time to hunker down and finish their work. Others snuggle up in bed while their agendas keep them warm. And then there are the homes that feel even colder inside than it is out.
  • Dan: If were not going to be more than friends its too hard to be just friends.
  • Serena: Don't look at me. She works for you.
  • Serena: Whenever you have feeling for someone that you cant deal with you avoid them.
  • GG: Careful Humphrey, looks like someone is finding some cold comfort on some red hot revenge. 
  • Blair: We're not servants to our emotions. We can control them. Suppress them!
  • GG: Uh Oh Ivy. Do you feel the chill permeating the air thats the Upper East Side turning their backs on you and turning you out into the cold?
  • Chuck: I'm impressed you know the value of quality. You've learned so much from me in such a short period of time.
  • Dan: So I guess I'm not competing, I'm winning. You wouldn't be trying this hard if you didn't think I actually had a shot with her, which until this moment I didn't think I did.
  • GG: As we wait for spring to come we desperately wait for the sign winter is coming to an end and the signs are clear; a ray of sunlight that cuts through the darkness, the bud of a new relationship popping through the frost from a sudden spike in temperatures. But don't forget Upper East Siders, February isn't the end of winter. In this town theres still a long way to go. Turns out tropical islands are boring and the lack of scandal is getting to me so I decided to turn up the heat from afar. I have a certain email from lonely boy that will make Basses blood boil. But if you think winters over think again. There's sure to be another cold snap and sadly some wont survive the winter, so come out of the cold my Upper East Siders and into the cozy warmth of my home. My doors are always open.

The Vampire Diaries- All My Children

"You know one thing I've learned with my time on this earth. Be careful what you wish for."
Move over Damon and Stefan, we have a new set of sexy brothers in town. Klaus and Elijah are turning over a new leaf as they transform from bad boy villains to Romeo's that want to steal away all the girls from the Salvatore brothers... and Tyler. Well at least Elijah, who definitely has a thing for Elena. Lets call that couple Eleaijah. Truthfully the brooding threesome has gotten a bit boring for me. Two tortured brothers who keep fighting over the same girl who at this point cant seem to figure out for herself who she actually loves. Elena just needs some new men in her life and whats better than an original love letter writing vampire??? I declare this Team Eleaijah and Team Klauroline day. Theres just something about those accents and innocent smiles that I just cannot resist. 
If team Eleaijah doesn't work out my prediction is that Elena will choose Damon. Not because I want her too but because once again Damon stepped up and was the bigger man. He sacrificed his love for Elena and turned Bonnie's mother even though he knew it would make Elena hate him.  Why? Because he wanted Stefan to get his chance at a relationship with her again. From pure observation though did you guys notice that although Elena tried to win Stefan back last week, she blabbed on and on to Bonnie about how hurt she was that Damon slept with Rebekah and not once did she mention Stefan rejecting her. This means that she obviously cares much more deeply about what Damon does. Its easy to loose the love of a Salvatore brother Elena, all you have to do is send them off the deep end and they wind up sleeping with people you hate and making utterly horrible mistakes.
This weeks episode closed one chapter but it opened the door for so many other questions. First off, are we still anti- Klaus because from the looks of it, all of the comrades seem to be getting along just fine. They've formed what I would call a bond. As Klaus disappears off the radar as the enemy, Ester enters it. Mommy dearest was unsuccessful at killing her devil spawns. I mean now she is obviously going to be furious with Elena for ruining her plan and for the Salvatore's for helping. She still wants to kill all of her children as the guilt of turning them into monsters consumes her. But what does the tree have to do with anything? Does Ester know it exists? Is she going to try to kill her children with it or will the children try to kill her with it? We have once again reached the point in the show, where I have no fricking idea where the story is going to take us... All I know is that I am way to excited for the ride. 


Who else feels sorry for Bonnie? She is always the one suffering for her best friend. Speaking of, since when can one turn a witch into a vampire? Is that even allowed in the rule book? Well anyways,  no matter what happens, everyones lives are pretty shitty, but at the end of the day Bonnie is always the one thats screwed over. Yeah Caroline lost her father and Tyler, but she is being woo-ed by the ever so sexy intelligence of Klaus. Yeah Elena has lost everyone but in that she gained two brothers that would risk their lives for her and a trustworthy friend, Elijah. What did Bonnie get?  First she lost her grandmother, than she lost Jeremy and now her birth mother has just been turned into a vampire. No wonder she doesn't even want to see Elena anymore. At this point I probably would have given up on my best friend and booked myself a vacation... Far away from Mystic Falls.


Nanny Carrie always has been and always will be crazy. For an actress to be such a lunatic in every show means there must be some truth to it. I had my doubts that she was the killer I admit it. I assumed that maybe it was Jeremy going off the deep end or that Alaric was having some manic outbursts, but sure enough it is always Nanny Carrie. Don't let that innocent face fool you. Alaric trusts people way to easily and puts him into situations that aren't so safe. There was speculation that she was the killer, so instead of waiting until they caught the culprit he went on believing it wasn't her. Now since he knows the truth whats going to happen? She shot him but he had his ring on so no doubt he's going to come back to life. He has to. I can't bare to loose anymore people, especially not Ric. But what is her reasoning behind all of this? Why does she kill people in such cryptic ways? For her own enjoyment? Thats pretty gruesome if you ask me.

    • Damon: I do and I  thought I could win her from you fair and square. She didn't want me. Its for the best. I'm better being the bad guy anyways.
  • Elijah: Your compassion is a gift Elena, carry it with you as I will carry my regret. Always and Forever Elijah.
  • Elijah: Mother made us vampires. She didn't make us monsters we did that to ourselves.

One Tree Hill- Catastrophe and the cure

"They went to a strip club, so I'm sure you'll see them when you get there for your shift."
As a faithful One Tree Hill fan its pains me to see the writers stretch and yearn for stories. The season ended on such a good note last time, that ruining each characters life just for the sake of a story, seems rather painful for me to watch. This weeks installment was stressful thats true, but it also felt pushed and it just isn't the same OTH as it used to be. I mean how much crazy intense crap can Nathan Scott really go through? To be killed for being a basketball scout seems a little ludicrous. Yes the writers have this magic touch to anything they do so I am vested into each story line whether I want to be or not, but really I'd rather not. Its a nice touch with the European mafia it really is, but how many people do you know in your life that have fell victim to something like this? Exactly none.
 Julian is trying to find himself after he screwed up as being a dad. Brooke is running a cafe that has huge competition. Nothing more nothing less. The competition comes from a snooty blonde that is screwing both Chase and Chris Keller, but I must admit its fun to watch Keller get a taste of his own medicine. Millie and Mouth are just used as ploys to move the plot along. When Mouth found all this information about who could be holding up Nathan its obvious that the story line was crafted to give Mouth something meaningful to do on the show. As always the Clay storyline is going nowhere, fast but I can't complain to much because the little kid in that institution is so adorable, I might just pull a Nannie Carrie on him. 
To watch Dan Scott go through a list of people that could potentially want payback on him was a real stretch. I'm mainly just interested to see the return of Lucas Scott. Although if it is a depressing one that results in Nathan dying (and I'm alluding to the short minute preview at the beginning of the season) I am hanging up my die hard OTH fan smock. Call me crazy, but for some reason I feel like the person dying in order to save his son and regain his honor will be Dan. Otherwise every character is just being milked for the sake of entertainment.

Revenge- Chaos

"Just promise me no secrets of any kind ever. You've seen what they've done to my family."
Finally a revelation we have been long anticipating. Tonights episode brought us back to the scene that enticed so many fans to indulge in Revenge. Thankfully Daniel survives through Tyler's manic episode and Emily Thorne has not gone to such extremes as killing her fiance for vengeance, just yet.  The question of whether Daniel will blamed for Tyler's death remains untouched, but my guess is that Emily will do everything in her will power for her fiance to be punished. This will be the perfect way for her to ruin the Grayson global name, while staying by her "fiances" side and ruining Victorias life. Win-win situation right? While Amanda is to blame for Tyler's death, she was really doing it in self defense. Jack wanted to cover for her but ultimately they both got away, leaving Daniel as the sole culprit. Although it would make a lot more sense in my mind if Daniel wasn't arrested for Tyler's death because it is clear that Tyler has a little loopy and a danger to society. Whatever the outcome may be this episode was a jumble full of chaos, which seems a fitting title for the episode itself.
Who would have thought that after everything Amanda would turn her back on Emily? You never make a deal with the devil and Tyler is the devil in this case. He's a psycho lunatic that cannot be constrained and knows more than is good for him. Amanda put her own safety at risk when she went into an agreement with Tyler. It was hard to back out after she realized Tyler's plans were actually to kill Daniel and frame Emily for it all because she killed the security guard. That key point had to have played a huge factor in Amanda changing her mind because if cops started investigating further they would realize that it was actually her that killed Frank. Although she dragged a little with getting to the party she did make it in time to stop Tyler's destructive plan. Truthfully, this girl owes Emily her life at this point. Emily is always cleaning up everyones mess. 
As Emily is usually the one calling all the shots, no pun intended, she was rather distant and missing from the scheming this weekend, which made this episode so brilliant. This weeks episode showed a girl that was stripped and bare and pretty vulnerable to anything surrounding her, especially since many of her accomplices turned her back on her. As much as Nolan wants the best for Amanda, I am left wondering what him and the Asian investor at Grayson Global had to do with the plot line. I know he is suppose to help Emily in any way possible so did Emily know that Daniel was going to get shot? What was in the box that she was burying? Why was the investor ready to help Amanda make an escape? 
Anyways, after a long anticipation we finally know that Daniel is not the one that dies in the pre-wedding celebrations but what's next? Does the happy couple continue with their wedding preparations, assuming that Daniel isn't arrested? Will Victoria become more loving towards Emily or will this tear the whole family apart? All the points that were brought up this week by the grandfather, for example Daniel taking over Grayson Global, a peaceful family settlement and Charlotte avoiding any type of therapy in order to keep the family name noble will have gone to hell because of this incident. Will they loose all their money? In all of this I know Emily was waiting to see the Grayson family self combust, but has she no care or interest in anything to do with the family. Can she really just wash her hands and walk away from everything? Will it be revealed that it was really Amanda who saved Daniel from a monster? One things for certain Jack isn't going anywhere and he, as well as Declan, are now more invested in the family than ever before. 
Memorable Quotes

  • Emily: There comes a moment in each of our lives when the control that keeps us sane slips through our fingers. Most of us aim to seize it back. The best way to fight chaos is with chaos.
  • Victoria: Blood will always be thicker than water. One day you might or might not become his wife, but I will always be his mother.
  • Grandpa: Your name is Grayson Daniel. The name makes a decision for you.
  • Tyler: Have fun at the party tonight. I hear theres going to be fireworks.
  • Nolan: Are you determined to turn this party into a funeral?
    • Emily: I'm determined to be prepared for anything. You know how unpredictable Tyler can be.
  • Tyler: How do I look?
    • Amanda: Undermedicated.
  • Tyler: Daniel is about to find out how bad his taste in women really is.
  • Daniel: There's nothing left here for me but secrets and lies.
  • Emily: Chaos by its very definition cannot be controlled. Once introduced all order and intention is rendered useless. The outcome of chaos can never be predicted. The only certainty it brings is devastation it leaves in its wake. 

Ringer- Its Easy To Cry When This Much Cash Is Involved

"I need answers. I'll pay you double to help me get them. No questions asked."
Things are starting to get way to confusing up in Manhattan, mainly because half the time I cant tell whose Siobhan and whose Bridget. Bridget's plans are very upfront. She has figured out that her sister lied to her, she realized that she was friends with Charlie instead of enemies and now she wants to know who the hell is after her and who wants to kill her, besides for Macawi of course (seems like she forgot about him a little). Meanwhile Siobhan is trying to find a way to remove herself from the marriage and still get a whole lot of cash while her and Henry are together forever. She's doing all of this by manipulating Tyler into thinking she loves him and he is the father of her baby. Girl might be a little crazy but she gets what she needs done. My only question is why? She couldn't file for divorce from Andrew because given their marital agreement she would walk away without a penny. Understandable. But when she goes to tell Henry the truth, why the hell won't she tell the truth. What is the good in throwing your sister under the bus like that? She has covered for you, while covering her ass and than you want to expose her? Whats the logic behind it? Clearly she still hasn't gotten over the fact that Bridget killed her son, but there must be more to the story than just that. I wish we could see things from inside Siobhan's brain. 
Besides for Bridget trying to figure out what the hell is going on and Siobhan trying to clean up her mess while making a bigger one we have Juliet. Oh boy did I not see that one coming. After all of the tears, the trials and the pain she put everyone through it comes out to become a ploy to get her trust fund back? And her arch enemy and her teacher, the accused, is in on it!?!??! That is a whole other level of messed up. At what moment did he realize he would turn her throwing herself at him into a money deal? But I don't think it will take long for things to head south with this. There is so much money at stake, either Carpenter wont deliver or there will be too much greed and everything will get exposed. I mean without a signed contract of the fairness of the money, it was technically paid over to him, so he can easily out Juliet and her friend and not blink once about it. The reason bad things happen to her isn't because her parents divorced or because she had a mean step-mother, its because she's stupid and irrational. I had pity for her although I was against the whole rape story line, but now I am just disgusted. I vote shipping her off to boarding school somewhere far away.
I wonder what damages Henry just did by signing over Gemmas father to Andrews company? One thing one has to learn about Siobhan is to never do anything without her consent. She would have taken care of Olivia in a heartbeat. Now Shiv's plan might not work. Will her love for Henry diminish? With two sisters in one city, their going to run into each other sooner than later (and by the looks of the previews it is definitely sooner). I wonder what it will be like to run into a dead sister and than into an impostor of the other sister. Till next week!
