The Spoiler Roundup 05.14.08

Welcome to the Spoiler Roundup, the most comprehensive weekly spoiler wrapup on the internet. We scour the web for all the best spoilers on some of the most popular shows on the air. Catch it here every Wednesday at The TV Remote.

This week: Big Love, Brothers and Sisters, Burn Notice, ER, Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, Numbers, Reaper, Smallville and The Closer.

Big Love

It appears Alby’s got another skeleton in his closet, and this one involves a member of the opposite sex. [Michael Ausiello]

Brothers and Sisters

We’re going to meet Ryan’s 60-year-old pa around Episode 3, and I’m told he’ll find himself drawn to Nora. [Michael Ausiello]

Burn Notice

Shark’s cancellation has freed Kevin Alejandro to guest star in the upcoming season as the psycho-possessive lover of Jacqueline Pinol (CSI: NY), who becomes the target of a Michael Weston sting. [Michael Ausiello]

ER

Maura Tierney will appear in only two more episodes next season, and Goran Visnjic may not return at all, or only briefly. [CNN]

Grey’s Anatomy

Hahn and Callie kiss this Thursday. The “major” kiss Shonda Rhimes was referring to takes place next week in the season-ender — and it may or may not pertain to a second, more passionate Hahn/Callie kiss. The May 22 finale features several kisses, all of which I’d characterize as significant. But only one is so good that, to quote Rhimes, it will make you “lean into your televisions.” [Michael Ausiello]

Lost

There’s a fair amount of blood shed in next week’s two-hour capper. And there’s at least one significant death. [Michael Ausiello]

Numbers

A man named Kaleem Rafiq is kidnapped at gunpoint and his children threatened when his wife runs after the kidnappers. Shortly after, Charlie and Larry are talking with a Pakistani-American man named Phil Sanjrani about some research they did together when an FBI agent approaches and tells him that they executed a search warrant on his office and he needs to come with them. Charlie promises to look into it. The team investigates Kaleem’s kidnapping, as well as a 2nd man’s, and Kaleem’s wife accuses them of labeling him as a terrorist because he is Pakistani and Muslim. Larry and Megan discuss her decision regarding her future with the FBI. [SpoilerFix.com]

Reaper

Sam has been reluctantly tied into the rebellion, and it’s had a huge setback and we know that Sam’s parents sold his soul out from under him. That’s all going to converge in the finale. We’ll begin to understand some of the secrets behind the parents’ decision and that maybe the Devil does have an agenda here regarding Sam and his future. Sam is not just an arbitrary reaper, he’s more special than that. We get to know more about what’s behind Sam’s dad’s influences before the end of the season. [TV Guide]

Cady doesn’t make an appearance during the rest of the season, but her storyline’s not over. [TV Guide]

Not everyone survives the season finale. [TV Guide]

Things are resolved in the finale, but we definitely platform a second season. I don’t know if things are resolved exactly, but they do advance. It’s going the next step and saying, “OK, here is what all of last season meant, and here’s where it goes.” [TV Guide]

In the second season, Sam’s life will become even more complicated. In the beginning of the series, the sort of emotional and physical jeopardy for Sam usually involved the soul-of-the-week. But as we move forward, the emotional and physical jeopardy and complications are as much his personal life as the soul-of-the-week. [TV Guide]

Smallville

Here are the casting breakdowns for Doomsday and the new female villian:

Doomsday
• Real name: Davis Bloome
• He’s in his mid-20s.
• He works as a bartender at the hip new Metropolis lounge Ace of Clubs (get it?).
• He plays down his smoldering good looks with a self-effacing wit and down-to-earth soulfulness. But he has long felt like an outsider (hence his nickname). And beneath his charismatic, easy-going demeanor lies a brooding sense of isolation and insecurity. When he begins to delve into the haunting mysteries of his true origins, a darker truth begins to emerge, one of blood and serial murders, one of survival and utter destruction — one in which he is forced to confront the true evil inside of him.”

Tess
• Drop-dead gorgeous
• Roughly 28 years old
• She’s determined, sexy, vengeful and has super-strength.
• “While Lex is away, she is in control of his estate and rules it with aggression. She’s had intellect and the confidence all her life, though it’s obvious she’s had some training from Lex as well. But as much as Lex has helped fortify her power, he is also her biggest weakness. She harbors an undying devotion to Lex, claiming he saved her life a few years ago. She carries out his wishes with coercion, force, seduction — anything to get what she wants. And no one can resist her beguiling ways. Even Clark Kent. She doesn’t remember anything before the day she met Lex. Once she realizes her previous life is buried below the surface, she’s desperate to dig it up.”

The Closer

There is a fire and the firefighters find a dead woman while they are fighting the blaze, during which 2 of the firemen die and one is hospitalized for smoke inhalation. Brenda and her team suspect a man named Bill Croelick and when they finally catch up with him, they find out a reporter arranged an interview through Croelick’s attorney and interviewed him right before Brenda and her team found him. Brenda and Taylor try and convince, then bully, the reporter into giving them his notes and pictures as evidence, but he refuses. They threaten to arrest him, talk to his editor and finally get their hands on his camera and notes. Their investigation eventually leads them to look more closely at Tom Merrick, the hospitalized fireman. Brenda and Fritz deal with a plumbing problem and trying to hide their cat from the landlord.
