John Noble, who plays Walter, believes the Observers were transporting a photo of Walter because he’s their only contact, and the Observers aren’t generally supposed to make contact with people. We’ll also learn what the Observers’ weakness is. And we’re coming up on the Walter/William Bell meetup, and an upcoming episode will answer some of the questions from when Charlie died. Plus, Olivia will remember more about what William Bell said to her, especially about the super-soldier leader with the mark on his head. (Fancast)

House
In the November 23 episode — the first episode without Jennifer Morrison as Cameron — Chase loses it and punches House in the face! “Chase is very clearly off his game,” says a House insider, “and struggling with the loss of Cameron.” What prompts the fisticuffs? Apparently, House unfavorably compares him to his far prettier, smarter wife, and Chase blows his top and decks him! (Michael Ausiello)

The season’s seventh episode will be called “Dr. Linus” and will naturally center around Ben. (SpoilerTV)

Guest Starring Stephen Collins as Addison’s Father. (ABC)
Scrubs
John C. McGinley says the new grad school setting has “reenergized” the show. “We could go on for three or four more years,” he said. “Dr. Cox has become an instructor at a medical school and he has a whole new set of people to torture. Per usual, he adds just enough sugar — a teaspoon — so you don’t hate him entirely. We tend to stick to the school for most of the episodes and see way less of our personal lives. My [TV] wife, Christa Miller, is now shooting Cougar Town, although she graces us with her presence in episode 4. Jordan makes and appearance and it is quite funny.” (Michael Ausiello)
Sons of Anarchy

Opie officially starts a romance with that porn star from the Caracara studio. (Michael Ausiello)

Jax’s decision to transfer to the Nomad Charter will drive an even bigger wedge into the already fractured club, which has to vote on whether or not to let Jax go. The result of the vote however, has far less impact than a difficult decision Gemma will have to make. (TV Guide)
Agent Stahl (Ally Walker) takes notice at the handsome profits SAMCRO is reaping from the repo business. Meanwhile, the Jax- Clay standoff forces Gemma to make a difficult decision. (TV Guide)
Jax Teller has an absurd number of problems, but the end of his relationship with Tara is probably not one of them. In fact, you fans of Jax and Tara can look for a sweet, romantic recommitment of sorts in an upcoming episode. (Watch With Kristin)
When Gemma (Katey Sagal) finally reveals that she was gang-raped by Zoebelle’s thugs, it actually goes a long way to heal the rift between Jax and Clay (Ron Perlman), and it’s a major bonding moment for the entire Teller-Morrow clan. (Watch With Kristin)
After tripping for a while on high-quality hallucinogenic mushrooms, Tig (Kim Coates) starts weeping and telling inanimate objects, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” And then he does something really crazy. (Watch With Kristin)
Luann’s (Dendrie Taylor) death isn’t the only terrible thing that happens to Caracara this season. Expect Sam Crow’s porn operation to come under major fire over the next couple of weeks. (Watch With Kristin)
As for Chibs’ (Tommy Flanagan) wife, Fiona, we learn she’s third-generation IRA, but that doesn’t mean she’s bulletproof. Too bad, because she and Chibs are about to get caught in some major crossfire between the SOA, the IRA and the ATF. (Watch With Kristin)
Titus Welliver is coming onboard for multiple episodes as Irish gun kingpin Jimmy O. He’s going to be a huge part of the end of the season. (Watch With Kristin)
Opie soon starts crawling out of the hole he’s been living in since Donna’s death. You’ll like some of the choices he makes, and you’ll hate some of the choices involving porn stars, but the good news is that any way you look at it, Opie’s getting back in the game in a major way. (Watch With Kristin)
Having Chibs recuperating at St. Thomas puts the already vulnerable Tara in an awkward position, medically speaking. (Watch With Kristin)
There is an assassination attempt on a major character, and someone applies to join the “nomad charter” of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club. (Watch With Kristin)
