Drugged Up. Review: 2 Broke Girls – “And the Drug Money”
Showing what a true friend she is, Max offers Caroline $100 from their cupcake fund (in addition to $500 of the clinical drug money) to hire Caroline’s father’s attorney Leo Hutchinson (Josh Pais) to depose her. Amusing is watching Max’s fascination with Law & Order and trying to impress everyone with her knowledge of court proceedings: “Anything I can do to help? I’m pretty courtroom savvy. I mean, I haven’t seen every episode of ‘Law & Order.’ Just, like 400 of them.”

Cheap Kills. Review: Lost Girl – “Bloodlines”
Ah, we see Kenzi has a soft spot! She reads trashy romance novels in secret. She’s a huge sucker for love stories, which is why she begrudgingly accepts Dyson’s plea for help after he tells her he loves Bo. What a softie! There’s no way she can say no to that. Maybe Det. Hale (K.C. Collins) will be her honey next season?

“And the Oscar goes to, dot dot dot.” Review: Nurse Jackie – “Kettle Kettle Black Black”
Finally, Jackie (Edie Falco) accepts responsibility for all the crap in her life! In the season three finale of this wonderful dark comedy, Gloria Akalitus (Anna Deavere Smith) tossed Jackie’s (Edie Falco) urine sample in the trash, and Jackie told Kevin (Dominic Fumusa) to pack his things after he confesses to an affair. “Kettle Kettle Black Black” deals with the aftermath of those occurrences and introduces us to a new and welcome addition to the cast. Grace (Ruby Jerins) is stealing, while Jackie seeks to drown her sorrows in booze and drugs. In addition, All Saints is being taken over by Quantum Bay, a big conglomerate, and there are a lot of changes in the wind.

Review: Lost Girl “(Dis)Members Only” – Human du Jour with Mixed Greens
““I don’t want anyone else’s hand on your body. I don’t want anyone’s mouth on yours…” ~ Dyson
Every week, we’re introduced to a new species of Fae, whether it be of the light or dark variety, and the cases seem to get a bit stranger, which suits me just fine. Bo and Dyson go undercover as husband and wife at the posh country club where the illegal immigrant staff seems to turn up missing more often than not.

The Affair is Revealed with Devastating Results. Review: Smash, S1, E9 – “Hell on Earth”
Eileen (Angelica Huston) insists on a new name and star for the musical if they are to go forward. Karen (Katharine McPhee) lands a national commercial for orange juice, beating out Ivy (Megan Hilty) which, needless to say, irritates the hell out of her. Speaking of Ivy, she’s taking more medications than she should. Much to his chagrin, Tom (Christian Borle) learns John (Neal Bledsoe) is a Republican, which throws a kink into their relationship. Plus, Frank (Brian d’Arcy James) has a showdown with Michael (Will Chase) after finding out about Julia’s (Debra Messing) affair with him. Once again, we find ourselves in the middle of a soap opera-ish episode but that’s ok, I like it; “Hell on Earth” keeps my interest as we delve deeper into the characters’ personalities.

Can Someone Please Get the Baby Out of the Dryer?! My Review: Season Finale of Shameless – “Fiona Interrupted”
What a fitting way to end the season. Not only does “Fiona Interrupted” deal with the fallout from last week’s episode—Monica’s (Chloe Webb) attempted suicide, and Sheila (Joan Cusack) and Jody (Zach McGowan) kidnapping Karen’s (Laura Slade Wiggins) newborn baby boy—it gives us a lot to look forward to for season three. However, as season finales go, this one doesn’t have the surprise or wow factor of last week’s “Just like the Pilgrims.” That’s not to say I don’t like “Fiona Interrupted,” because I certainly do.
