Throw in Di Pace’s performance and you have ample charm abounding in the role of the Ewing’s latest nemesis. In a season where villains have become heroes and vice versa, there’s no telling what’s coming next.
Hairiest Break-Up: Once Upon a Time: Emma (Jennifer Morrison) decides to break up with her new honey Walsh (Christopher Gorham) after regaining the knowledge of her fairy tale past. Shortly after breaking the news, Walsh turns into a flying monkey; revealing he knew the whole time.
Wowza! On a side note, how is it that after her mind wipe, the emotionally elusive Emma was able to find love in less than a year? Especially when you consider that she was single way before the series started and has yet to couple up with anyone, in the span of almost 3 seasons?
Most Heart Wrenching
Performance: Bates Motel: Freddie Highmore (Norman Bates):
As a frantic
Norman attempted to spirit Bradley (Nicola Peltz) out of town, Norma (Vera
Farmiga) attempted to salvage her son’s fragile mind with a part in the local
musical theater production. Outside of the auditions, Norma tries to calm
Norman whose emotions and hidden truths are bubbling underneath a thin surface.
Highmore’s performance was riveting as he played Norman’s desperation to both keep his secret and to maintain his mother’s approval with equal vigor. It was stirring and contemplative, a fascinating turn that encapsulated a near mental implosion and the calm after emotional havoc.

Most Obvious Soap
Twist: Revenge: Returning to the highfalutin shores of the Hamptons after
the Olympic hiatus, Emily (Emily Van Camp) realizes that during her blackouts
she’s been behaving in an uncharacteristic manner, therefore putting her agenda at
risk. For any “One Life to Live” fan, her ailment is blatant DID (Dissociative
Identity Disorder). Between a bout of amnesia and now this, Emily is a walking
homage to the beloved soap opera.
Worst Mother: Mrs. Montgomery (aka Aria’s Mom) on Pretty Little Liars:
When Aria (Lucy Hale) finally confronted her mother (Holly Marie Combs)
for leaving
her and her brother so Mama Montgomery could jet off to Europe to live
with her boy toy lover it was a hallelujah tell-off.
Then the tide turned. First putting the decision on her teenage daughter, Mama Montgomery would later turn up with the revelation that her barista boy toy had been interrupting their mother/daughter time to ask what Aria’s reaction was to his marriage proposal. Aria soon melted and beamed over her mother’s newfound happiness.

So the gist is that Aria had
been holding up her mother’s engagement announcement because she was catching
her mom up on her problems and she should feel guilty her new
"stepdad" had to wait for his answer.
Aria’s frustration fading away was beyond obnoxious, given her mom had abandoned the family and only came back to retrieve her children’s blessing so she could get married and live in Europe with her husband, full time. No comparison, the worst TV mother of the week.
