Bones

The infamous school-shooting-themed outing that was pulled last season in the wake of the Virginia Tech massacre has been “tweaked slightly” and is scheduled to see the light of day in May. [Michael Ausiello]

Boston Legal

Katie represents a man named Leo against a company who bought his life insurance policy when he was dying. Leo is now suing because he made a miraculous recovery and the company is reneging on their contract. Carl deals with a woman who paid a company to turn her dead mother’s ashes into a gemstone. When something went wrong, they substituted a cubic zirconium. Whitney represents a couple whose high school aged child died from what they believe was stress from school. [SpoilerFix.com]

Desperate Housewives

Marc Cherry talks about considering to downsize Lynette’s demonic progeny. “I will probably do a storyline about one of the women, probably Lynette, dealing with the death of a child because I think it’s one of the saddest things that can happen to a human being.” [Michael Ausiello]

Friday Night Lights

The last few minutes of the next episode will make your heart grow three sizes. But leading up to that is a lot of college-football bargaining for Smash and some stupidity on the part of Tim Riggins. Remember how we told you it wasn’t over between him and the Meth Ferret? Well, that starts this Friday.

There’s a scene between Coach and Riggins in this Friday’s four-star episode that will have you bawling like a newborn. [Michael Ausiello]

In this week’s episode, Coach learns what was really going down with Riggins and Julie on that fateful night. A tense father-daughter kerfuffle follows shortly thereafter. [Michael Ausiello]

Gossip Girl

By the end of the episode, Blair loses her Queen Bee crown as a result of a humiliating scandal. [Michael Ausiello]

Grey’s Anatomy

Someone – and a major someone at that – wants to be discharged from Seattle Grace, and STAT. But, as far as I can tell, that someone is not Sandra Oh. [Michael Ausiello]

Shonda Rhimes has every intention of fitting Joshua Jackson into Seattle Grace (and Cristina’s bed) the second the strike is over. [Michael Ausiello]

The original plan for Lauren was for about seven episodes, possibly more if the Der-Rose chemistry was “humming.” When you see this week’s ep, I think you’ll know which way producers are heading. [Kristin@E!Online]

Heroes

The plan as of the last time the writers met up (prestrike) was for Niki to be dead—but for an alter ego to take over. [Kristin@E!Online]

Jericho

Armageddon resumes Tuesday, February 12, at 10 pm/ET. We pick up four weeks after the New Bern attack. There’s a new leader in town (hint: he looks a lot like Lt. Tony Rodriguez from NYPD Blue) and he offers Jake a position he may not be able to refuse. Elsewhere, a familiar face returns to Jericho with new intel on the outside world, Hawkins takes a surprise meeting that could impact the future of the entire country, and Stanley receives a surprising proposal. As for Constantino… he best sleep with one eye open. [Michael Ausiello]

Lost

The first episode will be preceded by an hour-long recap special, hence the “two-hour” premiere. [Michael Ausiello]

Kate shows romantic interest in future Jack, but it turns out there’s another special person in her life already. [Michael Ausiello]

There’s nothing major going on in the Juliet-Jack universe in the first four episodes — unless you consider “heaps of subtext” to be major. (Hint: You may want to rewind to the Season 3 finale and figure out who initiated that smooch.) [Michael Ausiello]

[The first image we will see is a giant pile of fruit.] And we think it’s on the island, because why wouldn’t there be a giant pile of fruit on the island? We hear a rumbling, maybe it’s the helicopter, but no. There’s a bang! and the fruit explodes. A car comes piling through the fruit. It’s a car chase. WHAT?! A car chase on the island?!? No, it’s a car chase, FROM THE FUTURE. Ok, it’s a flash-forward, but yeah. We see the cops chasing a car and eventually the car spins out of control, crashing into a building or something. The cops tell the driver to get out of the car and it’s . . . Hurley! Why the hell was he running? And he’s alive! He made it off the island! [Lost Spoilers]

[Episode 3] features a great ending and shooting and episode. [Lost Spoilers]

[Episode 4] had one of the best endings I’ve seen. Sawyer and Kate fans will not be happy! [The episode] features an amazing twist. [Lost Spoilers]

There will be a Dharma artifact found but it is not on the island and is found by one of the new people. [There] is a polar bear skull but like the Dharma object it is not on the island. [Lost Spoilers]

The fourth season premiere of Lost is a Hurley episode. And Hurley’s flash-forward includes cameos by two regular characters (one living, one dead) and a flashback character from season two. [Kristin@E!Online]

This season Ben reminds me a little of Boss Tweed or Don Corleone in his heyday. He’s on the wrong side of the law, but he has rock-solid relationships with grand pooh-bahs, with little people and with everyone in between, and as such, his influence extends to places you’d never imagine. [Kristin@E!Online]

Just because we’re getting flash-forwards does not mean we learn now how it all turns out. Being at the “beginning of the end” means we’re actually smack in the middle of the story. [Kristin@E!Online]

Moonlight

The episode airing Friday, January 11, is the best since the one in the desert. It’s an adrenaline roller coaster. No Josef or Coraline, sadly, but lots of heavy stuff between Mick and Beth—including Mick contemplating his “mortal feelings” for her. [Kristin@E!Online]

October Road

Gabriel Diaz, Aubrey’s father, discusses how to be a father with The Commander. While hanging at the tavern with Janet and Pizza Girl, Hannah is reunited with Lucy Fisher, an high school friend. Lucy tells stories about high school, one including a flag on which “NG hearts HD . . . always.” was written. Eddie and Physical Phil help Sam with a science project. [SpoilerFix.com]

Hannah doesn’t care much for all the buzz surrounding the wedding such as the engagement picture, the official announcement, etc. Pizza Girl helps her prepare the engagement party. Two cops drop by Hannah’s house and arrest her for the assault of Christine Caltado. The Commander faces his medical condition with some humor. [SpoilerFix.com]

Psych
The first episode back airs this Friday, and it’s called “There’s Something About Mira.” The facts are these: (1) Dulé’s real-life old friend Kerry Washington guests as a complicated woman from Gus’ past. (2) Anything that starts with “Let’s try Goldschläger!” will not end well. (3) The first episode is very Gus-centric, but that means almost no Shawn-Juliet. [Kristin@E!Online]

Pushing Daisies

The original plan was to bring back Chuck’s father, but that likely will be changed, because a few somebodies didn’t like the idea. Still, Chuck will have a parent back in her life. [Kristin@E!Online]

Lily got pregnant right as her Mermaid career was taking off, and she decided to give the baby to her sister because she couldn’t bring it on the road . . . though I’m sure there’s much more to that story. The bigger mystery to me: What’s under Lily’s eye patch? [Kristin@E!Online]

Scrubs

Dr. Kelso threatens to suspend anyone working past their alloted shift for fear they’ll make more mistakes that will make the hospital liable and get sued. Elliot treats Marian and is having a hard time diagnosing her. [SpoilerFix.com]

Turk and Carla will be making some big decisions, and their marriage will go in a new direction. [Kristin@E!Online]

The show returns January 24 and it looks like there are three new eps in the can. The final one will be Zach’s baby (he directed it), the homage to The Princess Bride. You know how, every season, Scrubs tries to do one very special ep? Well, this is it for the final season. It’s a huge half-hour fairy tale with costumes and locations. Apparently, the janitor’s a giant, and J.D.’s the village idiot. I’m told it’s amazing. Zach says they put a lot of work into it—with all the special effects and things they’ve never incorporated before, it’s easily the most ambitious episode they’ve ever done. [Kristin@E!Online]

The New Adventures of Old Christine

Christine, Richard, New Christine, Matthew and his date Bree all attend a classical music concert at the Hollywood Bowl together after Christine wins the tickets at the school auction. New Christine gets Old Christine a date with Timmy, a man who looks young enough to need ID when they order a bottle of wine and when he can’t produce it, the waitress refuses to serve them. Christine and Timmy go to his house and are about to kiss when a woman Christine’s age comes into the room and Christine is horrified to learn that Timmy still lives with his mother because he is still a teenager. [SpoilerFix.com]

The Wire

Next week’s ep features the return of Avon Barksdale (Wood Harris), the original drug lord from the series’ first seasons, who will be having a little business meeting with current kingpin Marlo. [Kristin@E!Online]
