Forever A Fangirl

'Nurse Jackie' Episode 507 - 'Teachable Moments' – Sneak Peeks (VIDEOS) Spoilers @SHO_Network #nursejackie

A cop has been shot and Nurse Jackie fears it is Frank:

Adam Ferrara as Frank, Edie Falco as Nurse Jackie and Anna Deavere Smith as Gloria Akalitus in 'Nurse Jackie' Episode 507 - 'Teachable Moments' (Cr: Showtime)

I've remarked upon it earlier in this stellar season 5 of Nurse Jackie but it bears repeating: Edie Falco as Jackie has smiled more, halfway through season 5 than she did during the entirety of seasons 1-4. I don't care if this sounds like fangirl gushing--she is so pretty when her face lights up. Beyond the surface happiness, there is plenty going on in Jackie's life--being in recovery is a key part of her life but so (still) are her kids, her job and the small circle of friends she has (all at work). She's divorced Kevin and she's dating a cop who genuinely likes her--a lot--and who is the reason for all the smiling. Will this match stick? Tune in to find out, Nurse Jackie fans!

I think you are going to have a reaction anywhere from pleasantly surprised to shocked out of the comfort of your chair, at how incredible actors Merrit Wever and Morris Chestnut are in this scene (be sure to tune in Sunday night and watch it in its entirety).

SPOILER I would not have envisioned putting these two together as a couple, would you? But the chemistry between them is palpable. Kudos to the casting people and writers. Morris Chesnut as Dr. Prentiss is filling in a gap I hadn't even realized was there. He brings not only hunky good looks but loads of charisma buried beneath a tough-as-nail-exterior. He and Zoe do in fact 'do it'--with Zoe calling the shots!

'Game Of Thrones' - Episode 3.09 'The Rains of Castamere' SPOILERS (PHOTOS) (VIDEOS) #gameofthrones

How Much Blood Will Spill At Game Of Thrones Red Wedding?

Game Of Thrones - Episode 3.09 - 'The Rains of Castamere'. Here Jon (Kit Harington) makes a game-changing choice, one from which there is no going back. (Cr: HBO)

 

Game Of Thrones - Episode 3.09 - The Rains of Castamere

Robb presents himself to Walder Frey, and Edmure meets his bride. Jon faces his harshest test yet. Bran discovers a new gift. Daario and Jorah debate how to take Yunkai. House Frey joins with House Tully.

(Written by David Benioff & D. B. Weiss; directed by David Nutter.)

Note: Premieres JUNE 2 (There is a two-week gap between episodes 308 and 309 due to American Memorial Day weekend.)

I love how vague the HBO episode descriptions are. They certainly do a fine job of teasing what might happen (See--Episode 308: 'Sam and Gilly meet an older gentleman,' which translated to the screen as, 'Sam and Gilly are attacked by a white walker intent on taking Gilly's baby son'. So take the Game Of Thrones Episode 309 'The Rains of Castamere,' description as if it were on par in detail with 'an older gentleman' equaling 'a white walker'.

Let's break it down a bit.

First of all, the episode title alludes to the true story that Cersei (Lena Headey) regaled Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) with at Tyrion's (Peter Dinklage) and Sansa's (Sophie Turner) forced wedding, just before Cersei threatened to have Joffery's (Jack Gleeson) bride-to-be 'strangled in (her) sleep', should she ever refer to Cersei as 'sister' again.

Recounting the Rains of Castamere must have gotten Cersei's bloodlust aroused. It is also your clue about the upcoming GoT episode which airs after a 2-week hiatus, due to the American summer holiday weekend.

There will be blood--plenty of it after 'Robb presents himself to Walder Frey, and Edmure meets his bride.' BOOK SPOILER. Keep in mind that in the TV show Robb Stark plans to ally with the Freys after breaking his promise to wed a Frey daughter. Walder Frey has no intention at all of making peace, quite the opposite is planned in a manner which is beyond Frey's capacity. Frey has joined with another force entirely.

Game Of Thrones - Episode 3.09 - The Rains of Castamere (Cr: HBO)

The question isn't 'Will Robb (Richard Madden) survive', but will his wife and unborn child? If GRRM had written this episode I'd expect poor Talisa (Oona Chaplin) to get a knife or arrow to the gut. The penultimate Episode 309 was written however, by the guys that are adapting this behemoth for television, David Benioff & D. B. Weiss, so I'm hoping that with all the carnage, they might have chosen to let Talisa live.

The allusion to Bran discovering 'a new gift' sounds like it is taken from this photo set:

 

If you recall, Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) is a 'warg'--a human who can see through the eyes of an animal. Game Of Thrones - Episode 3.09 - The Rains of Castamere (Cr: HBO)

It appears that Bran and Co. have made it to a point on the Wall. Bran is obviously having a vision but of what? His brother Jon and the wildlings? The Red Wedding? Danger in the form of a white walker?

Jackie calls Frank to apologize.

He asks her for a redo that night, but she says she’ll get back to him. Zoey gets stitched up by Prentiss. Carrie uses flashcards to strengthen her skills then cons Coop into doing more of her work. A skateboarder comes in with a broken arm. Jackie makes Coop promise he’ll give Carrie the next patient. Cruz enters, ready to do his exit interview. Everyone is unsure how to feel about and act around him.

Jackie tells Cruz last night was a mistake., but that’s not how he feels.

Prentiss dismisses Anthony, a young black boy, as a drug seeker, but Jackie orders a few tests.

When she checks on Louie, he frees himself of his restraints and pushes Jackie over.

The commotion triggers a reaction in Anthony, which Prentiss recognizes as PTSD.

Jackie arrives at Cruz’s apartment and gives him a final kiss goodbye. Later, she share a first-time kiss with Frank.

NURSE JACKIE 505 – “Good Thing” Episode Details

Jackie continues to be pulled in opposite directions of the emotional spectrum. On the one hand, a nice, stable, funny guy is interested in her and they have begun to date. At the same time, Jackie's eldest daughter Grace, is acting out; she's lying and dating an age-inappropriate guy and in general, has a surly attitude. Even little Fiona is misbehaving enough that her school master has a conference with Jackie and Kevin. Then there's the issue of custody with Kevin and most profoundly, Jackie's tenuous sobriety. How much pressure can Jackie handle as she navigates her first year sober--without any kind of outside support? It's a question that will remain open until there's an answer.

Jackie starts her day telling Grace she’s not allowed to go to a school dance with her boyfriend. Jackie is nervous about her date with Frank later that night. Zoey and Thor decide they’ll help her get ready.

 Prentiss and Zoey work in perfect harmony on a pregnant gunshot victim who collapses in the waiting room. Later that night, Jackie and Frank skip the fancy restaurant in favor of a pub.

At the same time, Grace and her friends sneak out to the dance and a surprise police raid separates Grace from Danny and all of her friends. Alone on the streets of New York, Grace frantically tries calling Jackie but all of her calls go to voicemail. Back at Cruz’s apartment, Jackie notices her missed calls and rushes out to pick up Grace.

"If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention"

 

Kit Harington as Jon Snow, Mackenzie Crook as Orell and Rose Leslie as Ygritte in Game Of Thrones episode 7 (Cr: HBO)

Arya lost her last, best friend when the ever-somber Melisandre paid an unannounced visit to the Brotherhood Without Banners. Despite Gendry's protestations that he wished to become one of the Brotherhood and his worth to them as a blacksmith, he was sold off to the red witch for a couple of bags of gold.

Arya called Mel out as the witch she is and SPOILER correctly predicted that Gendry's fate in the witch's hands would be grim. (Remember the line Mel had about Stannis not being only one with King's blood? Gendry is the bastard son of Stannis's brother, the deceased King Robert Baratheon.)

Melisandre fixed her gaze on Arya and most likely nailed it when she insinuated that Arya would be responsible for many deaths in the future. She also, in her trademark spooky way, told Arya that they would meet again.

Nurse Jackie Season 5: Next on Episode 4 (VIDEO) & Good Doc, Bad Doc Cast Interviews!

Edie Falco as Jackie and Adam Ferrara as Frank in Nurse Jackie Episode 5.04 "Lost Girls" (Cr: Showtime)

Looking at the screencaps (above) from the Nurse Jackie promo for episode 5.04 "Lost Girls,' one thing in particular stands out. Other than when she's directly interacting with her girls or with BFF Dr. O'Hara, we never see Jackie look this happy. It's a completely different Nurse Jackie because unlike the forced smiles when she was abusing painkillers, this is a real 'whole face' smile. It's very attractive, don't you think?

However, real life has a way of breaking in and smiles fade soon enough. In this episode, Jackie must deal with both her girls acting out. It may be due to the discord that the separation and custody fight caused or in Grace's case, it may just be the terrible teens. Jackie also must deal with the still obviously smitten, Eddie. They have to work together and Jackie stills cares for him so she comes up with a simple way to make sure they are on the same "page". It's a really nice scene and there's a sense of an end--finally--to the air of hostility between them.

We are still getting to know the seemingly inept, iPhone-addicted Dr. Roman.  She's a master manipulator of men and she is quite successful, especially concerning Coop (shocking, I know).

Akalitus's memory issues make have put a patient with a secret at great risk, not to mention All Saint's, but could it be possible that we've underestimated her? Tune in for all this and much more!

NURSE JACKIE 504 – “Lost Girls”Episode Details

An agitated and heavily medicated Jane Doe is brought into the ER. Jackie and Kevin are called into Fiona’s school because she’s been acting out in class. Jackie catches Grace sneaking around the city to see her much older boyfriend. When Jackie gets back to the hospital, she learns that Akalitus lost Jane Doe just as her concerned husband shows up at the hospital. Akalitus tells Jackie that the “concerned” husband has been drugging Jane Doe and she’s helping her get to a safe house. When Prentiss finds out, the nurses unite to take the blame, but he surprises them all by saying if this happens again they should come to him.

Next week's episode of Game Of Thrones is aptly named "The Climb' as it refers to the journey Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and the Wildings, led by Tormund Giantsbane (Kristofer Hivju), make to The Wall with the intention of climbing it and 'building the biggest fire you've ever seen'. Giantsbane, though he's told Jon he likes him, gives him a stern warning all the same: If Jon falls during his long slippery ascent, he is not to scream.

There may be other situations that have been previewed that might entail 'a climb,' as often with the duel/multiple-meaning titled eppys, at least one meaning is not literal.

 

Roose Bolton (Michael McElhatton) in Game Of Thrones episode 3.05 (Credit: HBO)

I'm concerned about Roose Bolton, who now holds Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth's fate in his hands. He is said to be among the most ruthless of all the antagonists in Game Of Thrones.

 Otherwise, we have this shot in the preview that is troubling. I have no idea what is wrong with Jojen (Thomas Brodie-Sangster)--it appears that he is having a seizure (?)

We know that in the next episode of Game Of Thrones, the red witch, Melisandre, is traveling to the Riverlands to meet with SPOILER Gendry (Joe Dempsie), of all people. Prior to leaving, she explained to Stannis that he was not the only one with the blood of a king and she was leaving to seek another. Perhaps Gendry's remark to Arya that he was tired of being beholden to others and wished to be a free man held more meaning than it seemed, foreshadowing the arrival of the witch and with her, what may entice him.

Pain shuddered through him … and suddenly the bathhouse was spinning. Brienne caught him before he could fall. Her arm was all gooseflesh, clammy and chilled, but she was strong, and gentler than he would have thought. Gentler than Cersei, he thought as she helped him from the tub, his legs wobbly as a limp cock. “Guards!” he heard the wench shout. “The Kingslayer!”

 Nurse Jackie Season 5: Next on Episode 3 (VIDEO) Spoilers

Edie Falco is Nurse Jackie - Sunday nights on Showtime

Unsurprisingly, Edie Falco as Nurse Jackie has created a character every bit as memorable (and in some ways, more so) as she did previously on the premium cable mega-hit on the "not television" channel a few years ago.

Without hesitation, I can say that season 5 of Nurse Jackie is the most satisfying yet. It is not that the prior seasons were of a lower caliber--far from it--but this season feels really fresh--the tone has changed.

Despite Jackie working on her first year of sobriety, she is nowhere near 'done' getting sober. Her life is a mess--she's in the middle of a divorce and custody battle--with a pre-teen and a teenage daughter. Work at the hospital certainly isn't any less stressful, especially with the new intern (Betty Gilpin) who 'scares (Jackie) to death every time she gets near a patient." There's a (gorgeous) new chief (Morris Chestnut) to contend with as well, though Jackie seems to do so with elan. However, Gloria (Anna Deavere Smith) who has barely regained her administrative position after being demoted to nurse, is acting strangely forgetful and the new chief is quickly losing patience with her,

And now in episode 3, Jackie meets her future. Maybe.

Book Spoiler:

I'm going to bet that the idea of Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) marrying Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) to both 'do something' with the girl, and to keep her close as the war of the kingdoms continues, was Cersei's. She looks way too pleased with herself. If that is what is happening in the sequence of shots above. I'm going strictly on Tyrion's facial expressions and a single snip of dialogue that may or may not be from this scene (can't tell).

It's kind of cringe-inducing watching Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) and Jackie (Edie Falco) go for each other's jugulars but their breaking up was probably a good thing as they were a pretty boring couple--life around them alone was pretty airless.

If you haven't been spoiled yet on this it should not be a shocker: Now-sober and in divorce (custody) proceedings Jackie starts back into the dating game.

Jackie and Kevin are not setting really good boundaries for their 'ex' marital spats which, come to think of it, they didn't bother doing when they were a supposedly happy couple, back when Jackie was a pill-head who bedded the pharmacist to get painkillers to feed her addiction. Yikes, there's been forward movement--for Jackie, anyway, as you'll see in the next handful of episodes. BIG emotional ups and downs, including examining a parent's worst nightmare via a former colleague who lost his son--Jackie's treatment program buddy--OD'd and died so his father--Jackie's boss upped and quit as head of the hospital. He wants a private exit interview with Jackie--stat!

Their have been some really fresh casting choices and surprising developments in the story but the 'best' surprise in season five is about how great Nurse Jackie remains. Seven episodes in to Nurse Jackie's- fifth season and this is my favourite of all the seasons so far.

Love this shot of these two ladies (above), whose scenes together are just going to get-ever-more-intense.  

If this scenes is what I think it is, the episode title is referring to James Cosmos' character Jeor Mormont  = 'The Old Bear.'.SPOILER: IIRC, he goes out with dignity--but possibly not some of his own men.

I've watched the first five episodes of the new season of Nurse Jackie after having watched since it premiered 4 years ago. I am so very pleased with it and I think you will be, too.

At it's core, the show is about a head nurse who outwardly, has it all together--she's extremely competant, a leader, instills confidence in others--then it spins out of control due to her drug addiction. By this season's opener, Nurse Jackie has gone to rehab, completing eight of the steps, and has been sober for about 9 months, give or take. But she insists on staying sober by playing by her own rules which makes for a razor thin line for Jackie to walk while staying on top of her 70-hour a week job, going through the wrenching emotional mechanics of a divorce/deciding who gets the girls. Could their be room for romance, too? That would be a first--but then, so is her sobriety so don't miss what will be the best ever season of Nurse Jackie.

Debut: SUNDAY, APRIL 14 (9:00-10:00 p.m.)

Tyrion shoulders new responsibilities. Jon (Kit Harington) is taken to the Fist of the First Men. Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) meets with the slavers. Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) strikes a deal with his captors. Written for television by David Benioff & D. B. Weiss; directed by David Benioff.

Game Of Thrones, Dark Wings, Dark Words (Episode 3.02) Review

I liked this episode more than the GoT season 3 premiere. It had more fluidity, moved more quickly, and featured characters that were sorely missed in episode one: Jaime, Brienne, and Arya. Also, it caught us up Bran and Co. and introduced us to two new, very intriguing characters who join him on his long journey.

I felt like there was too much King's Landing last week and just enough this week with the much-lauded scene with Dame Diana Rigg's Matriarch, Olenna Tyrell and Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) as well as queen-to-be Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) playing pitch perfectly to the way it as written in book #3. It will be fun to see the Tyrell's story un-spool.

I don't know why exactly because I used to enjoy her, but I'm really tiring of of Queen Regent Cersei's (Lena Headey) sneer. She really seems a one-note character in the television adaption and though snarky-witty (snitty?) at times, she comes across as her bratty-sadist son the King pointed out in this episode and her hated brother Tyrion pointed out in the last, rather lacking in any real abilities. Sort of predictable and ho-hum.

Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Brienne (Gwendoline Christie) were entertaining, though Brienne showed her naivete allowing Jaime to take her sword. Their extended sword fight in plain sight on a cross-bridge looks as if it will have disastrous consequences.

Very little happened in Jon Snow's (Kit Harington) segment. He met a warg--a human that can see through a non-human's eyes--for the first time--that was about it. Speaking of wargs, we found that Jon's half-brother Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright), who is trekking to the Wall in search of Jon, is himself a warg as is his new companion Jojen Reed (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) who is accompanied and protected by his older sister, Meera Reed (Ellie Kendrick).

My eyes are glazing over too when the mother-son duo of Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) and Robb Stark (Richard Madden) are onscreen. They are as big of sourpusses as Charles Dance's Tywin Lannister but he is way more interesting. Robb pouts and stomps around and Cateyln frets and grieves--there is zero levity ever to their scenes and it is tiresome. Robb marrying Talisa (Oona Chaplin) in an uncharacteristic moment of thoughtless, spontaneous indulgence last season has given us a character that is just sort of hanging around as a plot device.

Finally, we found out what became of turn-cloak Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen)--he's in a very-very dark place.

*Question: I was wondering if you had any scoops as we head into Sunday’s finale of the Showtime series, Shameless?

Ausiello: Although the penultimate episode strongly implied that Jimmy was about to sail away to his death, Emmy Rossum tells TVLine that his ultimate fate remains a mystery — even to her.

”They shot a bunch of different things [in the finale] in terms of Jimmy, and they’re not telling us what they’re airing,” she says. “So I’m not really sure how the season ends, to be honest.”

Meanwhile, Rossum says we should also be “worried about Frank, because we’re going to see him take the biggest toll in the finale.”

Shameless - Episode 3.11 - 'Order Room Service' - Sneak Peek VIDEO 3

Hard to be optimistic about Fiona (Emmy Rossum) and Jimmy's (Justin Chatwin) chances for reconciliation any time before season 4 as this penultimate Sneak Peek VIDEO 3 illustrates pretty profoundly. I used to wish for them to have a happily ever-after, but truly, Jimmy/Steve is not a good guy.

Throughout season 3 he played the role of devoted partner to Fiona (at least when he wasn't boning his wife, Estefania) and stand-in dad to the Gallagher brood but ultimately, he is a thief, a liar and a cheat. Fiona, despite her horrible upbringing and grim life is a better person than he is. She deserves better so I'm rooting for this relationship to go down in flames.

Game of Thrones - Episode 3.01 - Valar Dohaeris - Review 

This is an initial impression of the premiere episode Game of Thrones - Episode 3.01 - 'Valar Dohaeris'. It contains only the mildest of spoilers.

Unsurprisingly and very satisfyingly, the series has raised the bar yet again visually. The locations, the sets, the costumes, the effects… everything just looks sumptuous. 

In the premiere episode, we pick up where we left off last season, with Sam Tarley running from the White Walkers and their army of undead. The scene is intense and atmospheric...with a surprise ending. Cut to the opening credits, which feature King’s Landing, Winterfell, Harrenhal, Dragonstone, the Wall and Astapor.

The rest of the episode is dedicated to catching us up with the various players in the story, including those in King’s Landing, on Dragonstone, beyond the Wall and across the Narrow Sea.

Many of these scenes do double-duty, not only catching us up on past events but also setting things up for later in the season like... watching the chess pieces being moved into position yet again... and their potential meaning... for the storylines this season.

And what of those storylines? Every one wants to know how closely this season will hew to A Storm of Swords.

Having only watched a fraction of season 3... it seems that they are still following the main storyline but at times...taking a different path getting to their destination.

There are a number of new scenes in episode one that are not in the book but which blend in in such a way that they could have been.

Others scenes, like in past seasons are wholly different from the writings of George R.R. Martin, but they serve to streamline events and characters.

 Mini Recap - Game Of Thrones Season 2

Season 2 of Game Of  Thrones kept most of our characters very busy.

Robb Stark is fight­ing for an in­de­pen­dent North.

Theon Greyjoy turned on the Starks but was even­tu­ally stabbed in the back by his own fam­ily.

Jof­frey Lan­nis­ter is still on the Iron Throne, but his uncle, Renly Baratheon, also felt he had the right to claim the throne and he re­ceived help from House Tyrell.

Tyrion Lan­nis­ter ar­rived in King’s Land­ing to be­come the hand of the king, only to al­most succcumb dur­ing the Bat­tle of the Black­wa­ter and then to be cast aside by his own fa­ther, Tywin.

Then there is Stan­nis Baratheon, also still in it to win it, and he is being helped by Melisan­dre (Carice van Houten).

Mean­while, Daen­erys Tar­garyen is still on Essos with her three drag­ons, Jon Snow is still a cap­tive of the Wildlings, and the last episode ended with Sam Tarly try­ing to hide from an army of White Walk­ers.

Are You Ready for Game Of Thrones Season 3?

Rose Leslie as Ygritte in Game Of Thrones Season 3 (Credit: EW)

You may think you know how brutal HBO’s beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy Game of Thrones can get, but to paraphrase Wildling temptress Ygritte: “You know nothing about season 3.” Based on roughly the first half of the third novel in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series,  A Storm of Swords, this season continues the epic story of rival families vying for power in a fantasy kingdom where winter and summer last for years. It includes some of the most rousing  moments of triumph in the saga’s five-book (so far) histroy — as well as its most bloody casualties. ...“Emotionally, this season really goes for the jugular,” Thrones executive story editor Bryan Cogman tells Entertainment Weekly in this week’s issue. “In some cases, quite literally.”...

Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss are reluctant to raise expectations any higher, but are optimistic...One particular “Scene Which Shall Not Be Named,” as Benioff called it, left the Thrones team devastated. “I’ve never seen the crew so emotional,” Benioff says. “If the scene has that effect on the people making it who know what’s coming, if they’re that overpowered, I think it’s going to have an overwhelming effect on people watching it.” (cont.)

This season, the Lannister family backstabbing is ratcheted to a new level now that Lord Tywin (Charles Dance) has returned to King’s Landing. Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) struggles to purchase a merciless eunuch army. Kingslayer Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) attempts to escape the confinement of his noble escort Brienne (Gwendoline Christie). Jon Snow (Kit Harington) infiltrates the rival Wildling camp led by Mance Rayder (Ciarán Hinds), while the mesmerizing Ygritte (Rose Leslie) tries to melt Jon Snow’s heart.

HBO's Season 3 adaption of Game of Thrones is one that has long been anticipated by fans of the George R.R. Martin epic fantasy series "A Song Of Ice & Fire."

Based on parts of book 3, this season some of the most compelling characters get into some of the most memorable situations of the entire series thus far.

Diana Rigg as Lady Oleanna (Cr: EW)

Diana Rigg will play a character that stood out for her extreme directness, her lack of desire to suffer fools and her ability to scheme. It should be an absolute joy to see Rigg take on the pivotal role of Lady Oleanna Tyrell.

GAME OF THRONES RETURNS FOR THIRD SEASON MARCH 31

As Blackwater Bay cools, the victors consolidate their power and rebuild King’s Landing. But new challengers for the Iron Throne rise from the most unexpected places. Characters old and new must navigate the demands of family, honor, ambition, love and – above all – survival, as the Westeros civil war rages into autumn.
Based on the bestselling fantasy book series by George R.R.

Only the Night’s Watch stands between him and the Seven Kingdoms, but nobody knows what happened to its Lord Commander and the force he led beyond the Wall.

Frank becomes the poster boy for Gay Rights in Shameless this week

Shameless Episode 3.09 "Frank The Plumber" (VIDEO)

Episode 3.09 Description -

Fiona starts a new office job but has a hard time fitting in with the corporate culture. In an attempt to get medical coverage, Frank inadvertently becomes involved in the gay rights movement where he meets Abraham Paige (guest star Bradley Whitford), a powerful activist. (SOURCE: Showtime)

Of the 15 promo photos, the one of Ian (Cameron Monaghan) sitting on his porch steps with a really messed up eye is the one that most interests me. I have no spoilers for this episode but I get the feeling that Mickey (Noel Fisher) did this to him. That Mickey is a real rotter. I can see being attracted to dangerous boys but he's a nasty, dangerous boy and Ian could do way better. Maybe he will.

I was noticing last week how nicely Emma Greenwell as Mandy is meshing with the cast. She's not the season 1 actress that played Mandy but I really like her and the nuances to her character that we are seeing through her involvement with Lip. Like her aunt said, she's the most decent of all the Milkoviches.

Finally, the promo photos strongly indicate that Lip's (Jeremy White) ex, Karen has made another drastic choice. The three shots of her mother, Sheila (Joan Cusak), with Shelia being pampered by Debs (Emma Kenney) and a shot of the two of them indulging in a big hug, tells me that both of them have had some really emotionally wrenching times of late and that you can find comfort in the least-expected places.

Tony's (Tyler Jacob Moore) back! ...with more bad news for the Gallaghers

 

SHAMELESS 308 – “Where There’s a Will” Episode Description

 

Emma Kenney as "Debs" has been such a big piece of the heart, excellence & essence of this show's third season. "Shameless, The "American version" of the long-running British show of the same name is on it's own merits, an unqualified hit. 

Emmy Rossum as Fiona Gallagher, de facto mom to her sibling brood, is still phenomenal--most everyone in the cast is. Even Liam (Brenden Sims & Brandon Sims) is getting some good lines this season!

The family gathers for real Aunt Ginger’s fake funeral where they meet Frank’s cousin Patrick. Patrick also forged a will, and since his is dated more recently than theirs, the house is going to him. The family conspires to challenge the will and to get rid of Patrick.

 

After a failed clean-up gig, Jimmy finds a new job at the Coffee Beanery. He runs into an old friend from med school, Andy, and he begins to wonder what he’s doing with his life.

Meanwhile, Fiona and Lip look for a new house. Not wanting to move, Carl poisons cousin Patrick. Patrick lives and the Gallagher’s lose their battle for the house. Source: Showtime

 

When Tony arrives with an eviction notice, Debbie falsely accuses Patrick of touching her in her ‘nice places’. Patrick bargains with Fiona. For a small fee, the Gallagher’s can rent the house from him and continue to live there.

 

This was very funny and I really like the idea of calling our 'naughty bits' our 'nice places.' Empowering and funny!

 

With Hymie gone, Sheila no longer needs Frank as a nanny and Frank needs a new place to stay. Luckily, he meets creepy, vulnerable Christopher at his AA meeting. Sheila becomes an advocate of the word ‘retard’ and learns that Karen was the one that called the Wong’s. Kev and Carol continue to get busy with the hopes of making a baby.

Maggie Wheeler (Ophelia Robins) & Pamela Adlon (Marcy) in CALIFORNICATION – 608 – “Everybody’s a Fucking Critic” (Cr: Showtime)

CALIFORNICATION – 608 – “Everybody’s a Fucking Critic”

The reviews are in for the first draft of A Crazy Little Thing Called Love: The Musical. Hank (DAVID DUCHOVNY) looks for inspiration from Faith (MAGGIE GRACE) to help get him to the next level. Hank’s constructive criticism leads Becca (MADELEINE MARTIN) contemplating alternate careers. Charlie (EVAN HANDLER) and Stu (STEPHEN TOBOLOWSKY) join forces to win back Marcy (PAMELA ADLON), but first, they’ll have to pry her from the man-hating clutches of Ophelia Robins (MAGGIE WHEELER). (CR: Showtime)

One thing about the Showtime offer where with a Showtime subscription, you can watch basically this week's and next week's episode of Californication on two consecutive nights. That's great for the genral audience; it keeps people like me on my toes.

Though I thought I was doing pretty well keeping the episode sequences set right, I found a photo source that had gotten them wrong--and it made me double check even though I was so sure--unless the publicity peeps got things out of sequence, too. Not hard to fathom when you have two fresh episodes of the same show going out at essentially the same time. Yikes.

Wherein Marilyn Manson 'Teabags' Atticus Fetch

 

Tim Minchin, David Duchovny & Natasha McElhone in Californication Episode 607 (Cr: Showtime)

I nominate this episode as the most bizarre so far of Californication season 6, not specifically because of Marilyn Manson's guest starring turn, but because by bringing him and Tim Minchin as Atticus Fetch together, the level of oddness/insanity reaches completely new heights.

 

Even so, 'normal' family problems are brewing in the Hank-Becca-Karen family unit. Becca is still rebelling, going to great lengths to imitate her father's bad behaviour. An intervention involving Manson is staged and the results are pretty much what any functional person would expect.

With Charlie having realized that he still loves Marcy there is fertile ground to be mined--well maybe the ground isn't fertile anymore but it certainly is 'familiar,' as Marcy puts it.

Tune in Sunday night on Showtime to share in the craziness!

CALIFORNICATION – 607 – “The Dope Show” Episode Description:

Hank (DAVID DUCHOVNY) returns from his trip to find Becca (MADELEINE MARTIN) in need of help. His plan for her backfires when they go to visit Atticus Fetch (TIM MINCHIN) and his current house guest MARILYN MANSON (Himself). Hank has an encounter that puts him in a very awkward position with Karen (NATASCHA MCELHONE). Charlie (EVAN HANDLER) takes Stuart (CAMDEN GRAY) out for the day and has an encounter of his own.

How Shameless Will Frank Be to Keep 'His' Kids?

Cameron Monaghan as Ian and Emma Greenwell as Mandy in Shameless episode 307 (Credit: Showtime)

Despite the many jams the Gallagher kids have found themselves in, this set of 'cascading failures' seems a near-impossible one for Fiona to fix. Faced with losing Liam, Carl and Debs to the system as well as losing the house due to Frank's (William H. Macy) decade-and-a-half of swindling the government by pretending to be the deceased Aunt Ginger, Fiona (Emmy Rossum) doesn't even have a moment to feel sorry for herself.

 

Emmy Rossum as Fiona in episode 8 of Shameless--the crisis continues (Cr: Showtime)

 

As the eldest Gallagher kid, Fiona has to act quickly and to steel herself for the next blow--and they just keep coming. This story arc (episodes 306 - 308) has some of the heaviest, most heartfelt and splendid "Shameless" writing and performances I've yet seen on a show that has already been lauded many times for these qualities. There's nothing funny about a family being torn apart or losing their home but in true Shameless style, there's alway an undercurrent of humour at just how horrible and seemingly hopeless the situation is.

Meanwhile, life at Sheila (Joan Cusak) and Jody's (Zach McGowan) house is upended after an unexpected knock at the door (and I don't mean Karen returning) and Kev (Steve Howey) and V's (Shanola Hampton) quest for a surrogate pregnancy via her mother takes a turn for the ever-more-twisted.

SHAMELESS 307 – “A Long Way from Home” Episode Description

Knowing that Frank is the real reason DFS is on their case, Fiona decides to seek sole custody of the kids. She just needs a full-time job and a house. Fiona and Lip set out to forge Aunt Ginger’s will, and to find a dead body to go with it.

Still in their respective foster homes, Debbie is forced into slave labor in Kamala’s basement. Carl fights strict parental controls at Cassius and Lanier’s. Ian confronts Mickey about Terry.

Frank prepares for his court appearance by getting sober and attending AA meetings. When he learns of Fiona’s new custody plan, he challenges her in court to maintain his parental rights. Though she is forced to share rights with Frank, Fiona is ultimately granted guardianship leaving Jimmy to wonder what that will mean for their future.

Timmy Wong and his mother arrive to take Hymie. Sheila stages an intervention to curb Jody’s sex addiction. Karen returns. And Lip learns another will has already been filed with the court. (Credit: Showtime)

'In the Clouds' has brought us to the halfway point of Californication - season 6 but there's nothing 'half-a**ed' about this outing. In what is one of the funniest episodes ever, Charlie and The Widow find a way to cope with his revelation that he 'still loves his ex-wife' and with his deep fear of dying before he disembarks. Later, after Atticus Finch has failed Faith's test, a surprised Hank gets some potentially life-changing news.

Shameless  'Cascading Failures' - The Gallagher kids are removed from their home & placed in foster care--can Fiona get them back?

Jeremy Allen White, Cameron Monaghan & Emmy Rossum in SHAMELESS Episode 3.06 – “Cascading Failures” (Cr: Showtime)

Though the Gallagher's have spoken not-quite-fondly of their previous encounters with the child welfare system, Shameless episode  3.06 – “Cascading Failures,” is the first time we see them removed and placed in emergency foster care. Unfortunately, Lip and Ian end up in a high risk-prison-like environment and Debs get tossed into an overfull house, where she is expected to keep her head down and stay busy doing childcare and clean-up for the 'lady' of the house. Meanwhile, Carl and baby Liam land in an upscale bi-racial gay couple's home which would be nice--except they are dead set on adopting Liam!

Emmy Rossum (Fiona) and Emma Kenney (Debs) in Shameless - episode 305 on Showtime Sunday nights (Cr: Showtime)

... was the question my spouse lobbed my way after last week's episode. With a chuckle I answered, 'Aren't they always?'

 The Gallaghers lives continue to spiral into chaos as Debbie gets terrorized at the pool (guess the 90-seconds-holding-her-breath-plan didn't go as planned), Carl (wearing an I Beat Cancer t-shirt) believes he is a cancer survivor, Fiona's locked in the ladies room at work by her co-workers for not performing like they do, the Gallagher's literally have a dead body buried in the back yard (and the city sewer people are on their way to dig). And then there's the small problem of Jimmy's coping with his dad coming out. Just another day for the Gallaghers.

Veronica and Kevin's wife work out their issues. SHAMELESS 303 – “May I Trim Your Hedges?  (Cr: Showtime)

Episode 3.03 is my favourite thus far in Season 3. It's got some moments that you see coming miles away like V and Kev's wife's showdown--then there are others that come sailing out of left field but are really funny and provocative and really skillfully rendered. Shameless has such a great cast!

CALIFORNICATION – Episode 6.02 & 6.03 Teases (PHOTOS) (VIDEO) @SHO_Kareem @SHO_Cali #giveaway

 Win this Californication Key poster art!**

 

Californication episode 6.03 'Dead Rock Stars' with Steve Jones, Maggie Grace, Tim Minchin & David Duchovny. this is an incredibly amusing scene.

If you, like me, have been following the on again/off again romance (mostly off) of Californication's Hank (David Duchovny) and Karen (Natascha McElhone) then by the season 5 finale you may have been getting your hopes up that finally the two might have a chance at a lasting reunification.

Since by now you've watched the first episode of Californication season 6 (and maybe even the second episode if you watch new episodes of CALIFORNICATION on Mondays a week early on Showtime On Demand and Showtime Anytime: http://youtu.be/i1UGP0meZZI) you know that that wish pretty much went the route of dear, demented Carrie (last seen on life-support).

I wish I could tell you it will get better but alas, it gets much worse, albeit in a very entertaining way.

By episode 3, Hank is discovered by Karen, half-naked and passed out with many other people of both sexes in a room filled with every element you would expect of wild debauchery. Rehab for Hank = epic fail. But don't lose hope as great opportunities are awaiting Hank--he just needs to get used to the notion of his book being turned into a rock opera on Broadway.

Charlie (EVAN HANDLER) runs into out-and-proud movie star Robbie Mac (JOHANN URB) and finds himself taking drastic action in order to land the Oscar® winner at UTK. Marcy (PAMELA ADLON) loses her resolve with Stu (STEPHEN TOBOLOWSKY), while Karen (NATASCHA MCELHONE) lands a new job.

SHAMELESS 302 – “The American Dream” Sneak Peeks Promo VIDEO & PHOTOS @SHO_Shameless @SHO_Kareem

What does Frank do to earn a beatdown from his (former) biggest champion, youngest daughter Debs? Find out in the next episode of Shameless!

Emma Kenney as 'Deb' beats her father, 'Frank' (William C. Macy) with a pillowcase full of soap bars in Shameless - Epiasode 302 - 'The American Dream' (Cr: Showtime)

Ever the softhearted and forgiving, especially towards her n'er-do-well sot of a father, even Debs (Emma Kenney) has had it with his antics and total lack of concern for anyone but himself. The pillowcase full of soap bars is the one Deb explains to Frank (William C. Macy) earlier in the episode that she carries on her way home in the evenings after she watches baby Hymie for Shiela (Joan Cusack). She wards off any potential attackers with the homemade weapon.

Deb really goes to town on Frank after he double disses/insults her--the results are way more impressive than I would have guessed. Frank's next scene shows him with realistic, huge welts-- everywhere Debs hit him. Emma Kenney does a really nice job with this scene. Debbie is growing up and this may be the last time she holds a vigil for dad to return hime (this time he was gone for four months). Sooner, rather than later I'm guessing, Debs will see her father as Fiona (Emmy Rossum) has learned to. No sentimentality--just cold realism.

Hank wakes up in the hospital.

 Not unlike another popular Showtime 30-min. comedy which left it's penultimate season on a 'cliffhangar' about if the main character was dead from a bullet to the head, so the mystery of whether Hank Moody (DAVID DUCHOVNY) survives the attempted murder-suicide of his bitter ex-gf, Carrie  (NATALIE ZEA) wasn't too big of a question. The larger question is how will Hank 'be' after this near death encounter?  I'm betting the answer is similar to the one about the previously mentioned 'Weeds' character 'Nancy Botwin' (Mary-Louise Parker). Hank too, will eventually go back to being who we have always known --and loved him to be--a scoundrel.

Hank's living nightmare...his life after almost death.

A Life is Saved, A Love Lost in Homeland Season 2 Finale

HOMELAND Episode 212 (Season Finale) – “The Choice”

Carrie must decide where her heart really lies; Brody shares a drink with Faber to consider the future of his family;  Saul is tasked with a secret mission; and Quinn makes a decision that may change everything --Written by Alex Gansa and Meredith Stiehm
Directed by Michael Cuesta

With the Creators: The Choice VIDEO

Alex Gansa discusses the season 2 finale of Homeland.

“These star crossed lovers were never meant to be together. And every time they do get together something really bad happens. Even the power of this love that they have between them and the connection that these two damaged souls have found in each other, is ultimately a curse.” --
Alex Gansa

 

The wreckage left in the wake of a car bomb detonated during services for VP Walden

As the Season 2 finale for Showtime’s Homeland neared on Sunday night, the burning question became: Would Nicholas Brody emerge from the season-ender alive?

Could the the war hero-turned-would-be terrorist plausibly survive into Season 3? As it turned out his life was saved, but his love was lost.

In the Season 2 finale, Carrie is faced with a pivotal decision, while Brody meets with Faber to contemplate the future of the family. Meanwhile, Saul undertakes a secret assignment; and Quinn has a decision to make that may prove to be a game-changer.

Homeland - Episode 2.12 (Season Finale) 'The Choice' (Cr: Showtime)

No matter what happens on the season 2 final of Homeland, I doubt very much that it will feel ambiguous. If you've been watching thus far you know that episode 2 or 4 or even 11 could have been concluding episodes rather than contained within the season. The writers are not afraid to drive the story at dizzying speeds--yet somehow never sacrificing the character development. With Brody unmasked as a terrorist, both Vice President Walden and Abu Nazir dead, Brody's marriage over and Brody, unbeknownst to him or Carrie, with a giant target on his forehead, how can this possibly end well? One would guess that Brody's must die. The CIA has sanctioned his death, he has a black ops assassin who is tracking him--the only thing standing between him and a bullet to the brain is Carrie--which is a pretty scary thought. There's no doubt in my mind that however this turns out, that Homeland's season 2 finale episode is going to be a real nail-biter. And we wouldn't want it any other way, right? See you Sunday!

Saul to Carrie: 'You're the smartest and the dumbest f**king person I've ever known.'

Homeland: A Preview of the Season Finale from EP Alex Gansa - Will Brody die?   

With only one episode left in its second season, Showtime’s Homeland has already dispatched two very prominent characters: Vice President Walden (Jamey Sheridan) went last week, and in episode 11's shocking hour, elusive terrorist Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban) was finally caught and killed.

Had producers known from the beginning of season 2 that Homeland‘s big bad would perish? “I think the short answer to that is yes,” says executive producer Alex Gansa. “The long answer is we weren’t actually sure how that would happen. But the reason we wanted Walden and Nazir both dead is we wanted to open the possibility that Brody and Carrie could have a happy ending, that their doomed romance was not doomed after all. The only way to make that happen was to off these two antagonists.”

... So what can Gansa tease about next week’s season finale? “The final episode is called ‘The Choice,’ and what I can say about it is .... we’ve sort of left the thriller aspects of the show behind and now we come to a very personal story about Carrie and Brody and all the obstacles that lie in the way of them being together. That is what the finale is about. It’s a real character study of these two people, where they’ve come from, how they regard each other, and whether or not there’s a future for them.” Source

Dexter - Episode 7.12 - Surprise, Motherf**ker! (Season Finale) - Promo VIDEO PHOTOS - Episode 7.11 Recap @SHO_Dexter @SHO_Kareem

Hannah goes to jail; LaGuerta continues her investigation.

Michael C. Hall as Dexter with Lauren Velez as Sgt. Laguerta in Dexter 7.12 (Credit: Showtime)

It's time now to make your best guess as to how Dexter season 7 will wrap up.

Last week, after discovering that Hannah (Yvonne Strahovski) attempted to murder his sister Deb (Jennifer Carpenter), Dex (Michael C. Hall) took decisive action after lab results from a water bottle he found in Deb's wreaked car showed the water to be 40% spiked with prescription medication that knocked Deb out while she was at the wheel of her car. He retrieved the poison pen that Hannah used to kill Sal Price, the 'true crime' writer, and turned it over to Deb so she could bring charges against Hannah for his murder. The episode closed on a solemn note with Hannah declaring as they cuffed her that Dex 'should've killed (her)'.

I have to say, I felt greatly relieved as Dexter was behaving entirely as I would think he would given the great closeness he has with Debra. I never questioned that he would 'choose' Deb over Hannah but it wasn't clear until it came to a matter of life and death. Interesting too, how Dex echoed Deb's own words about keeping company with Hannah: "You'll never be  safe."

The season would seem to be wrapped up save for one very important detail: Sgt. LaGuerta's (Lauren Velez) dogged determination to clear her former lover, cop, and Dexter nemesis, James Doakes (Erik King) of the moniker of having been the "Bay Harbor Butcher.' As we saw, she narrowed the possible suspects down to Dexter and despite finding evidence to the contrary which implicated Doakes (and which she correctly suggested Dexter could have planted) and assuring her former boss Tom Matthews (Geoff Pierson) that she would cease and desist,
she continues in the season finale at full steam ahead in her efforts to take Dexter down.

How far will she go? Are the promo photos and sneak peeks which indicate that Dexter is arrested real or are they a fantasty or recollection like this is?:

 

James Doakes (Erik King) appears in the season 7 finale of Dexter on Showtime December 16

And what about Hannah? She knows Dexter's big secret. He must have considered that she would tell the cops what she knows--and that, coupled with what LaGuerta thinks she knows would seem to be all that is needed to seal Dexter's fate.

Finally, what is Debra going to do? as Hannh rightly points our, debra is being selective in her pursuit of justice by arresting Hannah and but Allowing dexter to remain free? Will Deb's conscience get the better of her and will she free Hannah? This screen shot would seem to imply that something big happens as Hannah is out of shakles and outside Dexter's apartment!

Update: TVGuide Dexter SPOILER:

Q: Will Hannah turn in Dexter during the DEXTER finale?

A: That will be the big question of the hour. But Michael C. Hall says Dexter may come to regret turning her in for more than one reason. "I think he was open to a sense of possibility and open to a sense of a legitimate future in a way that he never has been before and that's not going to be an easy thing to dismiss," he says. "He believes that Hannah does love him and will keep his secret. He, if nothing else, believes she'll do it out of a sense of self-righteousness, that she was able to keep secrets in a way that he couldn't."

Homeland : 'A Few Questions' Sneak Peek VIDEO

Carrie questions the team responsible for clearing the tunnel.

When last we saw Carrie (Claire Danes) she had, with Brody's (Damian Lewis) assistance, escaped from Nazir (Navid Negahban), called for help and returned to the warehouse in which she was being held. Upon her return, she began a solo search for Nazir, unaware that black ops agent Quinn (Rupert Friend) and a terrorist capture team were about to storm the place--which is where we pick up in Sunday's episode.

It's going to be very interesting because for one thing, how is Carrie going to explain exactly, how she got away from Nazir--that her lover--Brody made a deal with Nazir to kill the Vice President? I just can't see that going over well--though I realize that patriot Carrie would have died before she would have consented to such a thing. RIP V.P. Walden--you were a slimy bastard but Jamey Sheridan did a great job making us hate you.

Nazir evaded capture and in this Sunday's episode we may find out if he will be caught or killed or both--the sneak peek implies that he gets away but sneak peeks can be sneaky that way, as I'm sure you've realized. All the more fun to discuss what we think is going to happen, right?

Speaking of happenings, Brody's wife Jessica (Morena Baccarrin) finally bedded her true love Mike (Diego Klattenhoff) while at the safehouse, explaining afterward that she felt no guilt. When Brody finally showed up, things were awkward but upon Mike's exit Jess and Brody appeared ready to discuss their situation frankly (they both desire people that are not their spouse). But inconveniently, Brody was called away by Nazir and the discussion was shelved. I think the marriage is kaput, though. There's just nothing left between them besides the kids, who are very aware of Mom and Dad's very unhappy marital situation.

This week too, the 'mole' problem which goes back to season one, is again picked up--by Carrie--who is convinced that the only way Nazir could have gotten away was if said mole helped him. I don't know. There was quite a time lapse between her escaping, running out to the highway, trying and failing several times to flag down someone to borrow a cellphone from, phoning the 'home office', and then making her way back to the huge warehouse. Why couldn't Nazir have just slipped away, possibly using his own terrorist connections? I am glad the mole issue is at least being addressed because it's not at all a small issue. I've heard rumblings that Saul (Mandy Patinkin) is the mole which I don't believe, that Estes (David Harewood) is--he, I could've believed the mole last season but this far into season 2, I'm thinking he's more an asshole than a mole. At this point, my best guess is 'Danny,' the guy that got caught in the gunfight along with Quinn and who last we heard had a 50-50 chance of recovering. He showed up in the last episode having left Walter Reed Hospital AMA, arm in a sling, saying he wanted to help find Carrie--but who knows.

There's just 2 more episodes, people. This season has gone by in a flash. I've really dug it--the characters and the great writing/high tension of every episode have solidified my state of being hooked on this show and I'll miss Homeland when it goes on hiatus. So glad it was renewed for a third season!

 Episode 2.11 - The Motherf--ker with a Turban

Dangerously close to exhaustion, Carrie continues her hunt for Nazir and begins to suspect there is a mole in the CIA. Roya reveals her true colours under interrogation and Saul finds himself fighting to save his career under unexpected circumstances. Meanwhile, the Brodys struggle to maintain anything close to a state of sanity.

Homeland TVLine Teaser:

To the surprise of some, Jessica recently “reconnected” (so to speak) with old flame Mike, and seems to have no regrets about it. “I think she is allowing herself to go there, not knowing what is going to happen – and that is OK,” Morena Baccarin told us of her character’s mindset. “She’s been depleted for so long in her relationship with Brody that she is just finally getting something for herself.” Though that something may seem newly messy now, with Brody appropriately suspicious of the rekindled affair, Baccarin promises that by the season finale airing Dec. 16, “There will be resolution” one way or another.

DEXTER SEASON 7 – Episode 710 – “The Dark… Whatever” Promo PHOTOS Spoiler @SHO_Dexter @SHO_Kareem

DEXTER - New Episode Sunday at 9 PM ET/PT

Michael C. Hall as Dexter and Jennifer Carpenter as Deb in 'Dexter' on Showtime. Season 7 finale is Dec 16

Just caught up and watched this episode. Turns out that Hannah's father is pretty much what you'd expect of a guy who was OK with letting his daughter (almost) drown as a young child.

Some major attitude adjusting continues to go on between Deb and Dex. Debra makes Dex a promise in regard to Hannah McKay but how far that promise will extend into the future remains an open question. In fact, there are several 'open questions,' with Laguerta's re-investigation of the Bay Harbour Butcher case and her bringing her old boss Tom, on-board to help with the case, probably the most compelling, not including the Dex-Deb-Hannah situation. What a mess!

It seems that the heat is going to remain on 'high' all the way through the finale--which is soon!

SPOILER: In this episode, Dexter deliberately breaks a major component of Harry's Code and has no conflicting feelings about it whatsoever.

 

Life continues to be complicated for Dexter (Michael C. Hall) and Hannah (Yvonne Strahovski) Cr: Showtime

Synopsis: DEXTER SEASON 7 – Episode 710 – “The Dark… Whatever” 

A surprise visit from Hannah’s father puts Dexter on alert, and the Phantom Arsonist’s crimes become more gruesome. Defending Nadia’s honor forces Quinn into a dangerous situation, and LaGuerta brings on former Deputy Chief Matthews to help her with the Bay Harbor Butcher case.
