There’s this interesting little note concerning Grey’s Anatomy: if you watch the premiere you will have all the tools you need to anticipate the finale each season. In the 9th season finale that idea the each premiere informs the finale has never been better illustrated.

To take the relationship from a simmering subtext to blatant main text is completely in line with the show’s mission to redefine fairytales and dole out happy endings like candy. Two ladies uniting in love for their son (and possibly each other yes please) is just a logical as hell next step.

A recap of the 21st episode of the 2nd season of Once Upon a Time, “Second Star To the Right.” Regina is tortured, Snow learns empathy and Baelfire finally gets his episode.

Rhimes’ show is obsessed with these betrayals, the most fundamental of betrayals. Adultery is the most horrific of emotional crimes one can commit against another and she uses it to pry apart these characters and expose the roots of them.

So Regina flees and Snow weeps for the mother figure destroyed and her own innocence violated and it never rings quite true, because this show has, at some point, decided that making Snow White/Mary Margaret anything more than a foil for Regina and a wet blanket for Emma would be intolerable.

While the show is setting up a little love triangle it’s also addressing a problem stewing all season, and that’s Arizona’s self-image. It is in the dirt and has been since her leg was amputated. And now here is a woman that doesn’t know her and finds her attractive.

But because Lauren has been developed as an honest to god character this season everything she says that is so brutally true rings a little false. She’s developed so much that there is no question of her loyalties.

Emma doesn’t know her well enough or feel secure enough in their relationship to say “you may wear hats because it helps after you got that haircut that makes your ears look crazy huge but I look pretty okay with some Aquanet and a curling iron so let’s call it a day.”

A recap of the 20th episode of the 4th season of The Good Wife, “Rape: A Modern Perspective.” Alicia and Will defend a client held in contempt for discussing her rape.

I’ve been spending a lot of time this season marveling at how dynamic all these characters have become and just when I think that the changes cannot be more apparent we get a lovely and bittersweet and romantic scene like that between Cristina and Meredith on the bench.
