S1:Ep.18 – Salvation: Roy is kidnapped by an angry resident of the Glades who calls himself “The Savior” and goes on a killing spree to punish those he believes have wronged people living in his neighborhood. Meanwhile, Malcolm tells Moira to find the person who tried to murder him.
One of Oliver’s marks is kidnapped and Oliver fears that there is someone out there that is dangerous and has no restraint. Yet Digg is more worried about the path Oliver is going down because for two weeks he has been constantly doing his “Hood” job. Yet, that discussion gets pushed aside when they see his original mark die via video feed.
“The Savior” is a disgruntled former resident of The Glades that did not get the justice his wife deserved when she was murdered. He later kills an ADA that worked on her case. Then he kidnaps Thea Queen’s boyfriend, Roy Harper.
Unfortunately, for the Lances, Laurel broke the news that they had not found their youngest daughter. Yet, the truth came out that Laurel’s Mom allowed her younger sister to go off with Oliver and therefore the Mom felt like she had sent the youngest Lance to her death.
Moira’s time is ticking down to zero as Malcolm finds a triad that is willing to hunt down the person who issued the hit on him, but before she goes down the tubes she betrays her co-worker and he dies for her desire to have Malcolm killed.
My one question from this episode is why did Starling City get rid of their subway system? Anywho, because of the old subway map, Ollie connects everything to the Glades.
Beauty and the Beast
S1:Ep.17 – Partners in Crime: Cat reveals secrets to Tess; Evan’s opinion of Cat changes.
Well it seems like Vincent have a new member on their team and have officially gained a new enemy and the latter is in the guise of Evan, who ultimately caught Cat and Vincent making out on her balcony and watched Vincent drop onto a truck and then leap of that vehicle and walk off into the night. In all honesty, if you were a marked man, why wouldn’t you just climb down the escalator like a normal guy?
Let me digress, the episode started where the last episode ended and Tess caught Vincent, but after seeing who the beast really was and comprehending that Cat has been lying to her for over a year. So, she did what any would do… attempt to escape and get back-up so both Vincent and Cat would be arrested. Well, that didn’t happen because JT tranquilized her. Over the course of the episode Tess learned more about Vincent and what kind of man he truly is. This also lead to Tess and Cat making amends after Vincent saved Tess when she got shot by two of Gabe’s men and then fell into the water.
We are still a little confused by what is motivating Gabe. We haven’t seen him with anyone from Muirfield, so who is he?
This show returns April 21st.

S8:Ep.18 – Freaks and Geeks: Sam and Dean investigate a series of vampire kills and discover that some orphans, who lost their parents to vampires, are being trained as hunters by a mysterious man. He claims he is helping the kids get revenge, but Dean is suspicious of his motives.
We saw a familiar face in this episode. Remember Krissy from last season? Well, her Dad was murdered by a vampire and she landed in a “hunter’s training school” being run by a bloke named Vincent who was a hunter that the brothers Winchester had met ages ago. This school actually houses two other teens that have had similar backgrounds, and together they hunt for the vampires that killed their parents while they go to school and try to live normal lives.
The Winchesters feel that something is off when they come across the teens during one of their kills. They realized that the vampire in front of them was begging for his life and vampires never do that. It happened again with a female and Dean knew that she was just made so he stops the kids from killing her and they go back to the school. There they find out the truth, Vincent killed their parents in order to get his hands on them and train them to become super hunters. Krissy is incensed and is about to kill him, but she really just makes him understand that they will no longer do anything with Vincent. Having the kids turn their backs on him forced Vincent to kill himself.
If you think the kids were about to up and leave and return to their respective families, well they have found a family in one another and decide to stay in the house and attempt to live normal lives. Krissy even vows to not slay unless trouble comes a knockin’.
Dean, worrying for the kids, is now pressing for the closure of the gates of hell.
In all honesty, is Sam going to be okay to do the trials?
The Vampire Diaries
S4:Ep.18: American Gothic – Elena meets Elijah when she searches for Katherine in a small Pennsylvania town. Meanwhile, Stefan reveals his surprising plan for the future; and Klaus gains a new appreciation for Silas’ powers.
During the course of this episode, there was some sort of mentality shift in the Originals storyline that left me thinking, “What happened?”
So, we start the episode with Rebekah and Elena in pursuit of Katherine and the cure. By sheer dumb luck and a desire to feed, they come across the town that she has been residing in. We learn a couple of things; she has the cure and is using it to gain her freedom from Klaus with the assistance of Elijah. Yep, we got to see Elijah in this episode and did he look good in his crisp little suit.
There is a discussion between Damon and Stefan and the latter states the obvious and that is that over the course of 150 years they keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again.
That brings us back to Elijah. He is hell bent in hoping that he can find the Katherine he first met in the Katherine that we’ve come to know. Yes, again. Well, we eventually see that Katherine is truly in love with Elijah and puts her trust in him. So, she gives him the cure.
Back to Stefan’s comment about repeating the same pattern… So, Klaus is in agony over the white oak in his back and he turns to the one person that he thinks can help him and that is Caroline. They go back and forth about the Tyler mess and how to become friends and that is when he realizes he is no longer in pain. It was all a Jedi mind trick by Silas. There was never any white oak piece in his back. He thanked Caroline for getting his mind off of the pain. She requested that he allow Tyler to come back and he said that he wasn’t really scouring the earth for Tyler. This means that Katherine should not be worried about Klaus because he has bigger fish to fry.
Yes, I know… what about Elena? Well, after disguising herself to be Katherine and meeting up with Elijah and then meeting up Stefan and Damon at the diner, she gave her final ultimatum… forget about giving her the cure or the country will be covered in bodies.
Now, we have to see what Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah will do with the cure and how much of a berserker Elena will turn into?
Fun time in Mystic Falls…
This show will also return on April 21st with a new episode.
Overall, all were quite entertaining, but Supernatural won the week!
