Meanwhile Cara (Peyton List) and John (Luke Mitchell) got a chance to play with the lighter side of their relationship where double entendres abounded and witty chemistry followed suit.
Most Entertaining
Soap Opera Character: Ally on The Bold and The Beautiful: One of B&B’s
most entertaining characters continued her reign as Ashlyn Pearce’s enthralling
performance remained as engaging as ever.
Best Reality TV
Return: Dancing with the Stars: The judges were positioned back where they
used to be sitting, the celeb aquarium returned and this season's contestants are all
amazingly likable. Everything is right on course for the dancing phenomena’s 18th
season. The only drawback is this is the second season in a row in which, the
show has fixed something that wasn’t broken by ousting fan-favorite, Brooke
Burke-Charvet.
Most Answers in a
Season Finale: Pretty Little Liars: After a season spent chasing Ali (Sasha
Pieterse) around, she finally sat down and coughed up some answers. Most of
the puzzle pieces were finally put into place and they actually made sense. The only
downside was the absolution of Fitz (Ian Harding) and the lamest gunfight/showdown ever that
resulted in him being injured.
Most Annoying Soap
Storyline: General Hospital: Robin (Kimberly McCullough) is still gone
after abandoning the family she just returned from the dead for, so that she
can save a gangster she “died” saving the first around.
Saddest Long Goodbye:
Glee: Not since Sam Malone was closing up shop at "Cheers" has the sadness of
closing doors and ending a chapter been this sad. As the original kids came
back to sing the glee club out of existence, the emotion was abundant.
After last week’s incredibly moving episode that finally paid tribute to Finn for the first time since “The Quarterback”, the 100th episode was a similarly somber affair. Hopefully the glee club survives. It would be way too depressing a note to conclude viewers’ time in Lima on otherwise.

Worst Reveal:
Revenge: It turns out that Emily (Emily Van Camp) doesn’t have a split
personality. She just needed Aiden (Barry Sloane) to dunk her head in a tub of
water so that she could remember she had asked her dad to stop hooking up with
Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) as a kid, to which he refused. Apparently, until she
could remember that detail, her psyche was fractured. What. A. Revelation.
Most Annoying
Recurring Storyline: The Vampire Diaries: Stefan (Paul Wesley) has yet
another doppelganger and this one is a true blue hero. Wow! The scenario is
already a yawn-fest and it has barely begun. Question, if Elena (Nina Dobrev)
is destined to be with her contemporary doppelganger than doesn’t this new guy
fit the bill? If so, why does everyone on the show keep insisting Stefan is her
soul mate?
Most Disturbing Show:
Vikings: It’s a show known for its rather unsanitized violence and this
week’s episode was no exception as its shocking brutality, hit queasy levels
that indelibly disturbed.
Most Shocking
Hereditary Twists: Bates Motel & Once Upon a Time: Despite suspecting
that Dylan’s (Max Thieriot) biological father was Norma’s brother, actually
hearing it confirmed was a massive shocker. What makes “Bates Motel” one of the best show’s
on television is that it never makes a bold plot move for sheer shock value.
This is a story that’s threads create the very fabric of Norma Bates’ character, as a victim turned survivor and it made all of the sense in the world. Few shows can plot character driven drama as effortlessly as “Bates” and that’s what sets it apart.

Over on ABC, “Once Upon a Time” provided the twisted sister reveal that
the Wicked Witch (Rebecca Mader) and Regina (Lana Parrilla) are half-siblings. This
development was genuinely surprising and the writers were wise to move on it
before viewer’s speculation could simmer for too long, spoiling the reveal.
