90210
Episode 12 is going to be awesome. It all goes down at the Winter Wonderland dance, and an intervention takes place for Annie to get her to realize that Jasper is a bad guy. Also, Teddy has feelings for Silver and asks her out, but she rejects him. Though something will happen between the two later on. (Watch With Kristin)
Big Love
Producers are now casting for an INS agent, which makes us paranoid there’s something not right with somebody’s immigration papers. Could the feds have found a reason to lean on Ana (Branka Katic) or her family? (Watch With Kristin)
Brothers and Sisters
In the next episode, Justin will fall of the wagon (just one sip, but still) and will be fuming mad when Rebecca finally fesses up to him and tells him she is pregnant. He’ll tell the rest of the family and storm out. (Watch With Kristin)
Californication
Hank’s not the only one with a wandering eye, it seems. He gets a big taste of his own medicine when a man from Karen’s past resurfaces. It’s a guy we’ve seen before — a whole lot of him. (TV Guide)
Hank’s disastrous parenting has a specific negative effect on Becca’s educational future. Actually the entire rest of the season is about the near-total collapse of Hank Moody’s personal life. (Watch With Kristin)
Castle
Abigail Spencer says in the November 23 episode she and Perrey Reeves clash over a corpse. “Perrey is great to catfight with be she is really tiny,” she said with a laugh. “You can really intimidate her!” Reeves plays a dead man’s wife and Spencer his fiancée. But as if that weren’t messy enough a matter, “There is a twist,” Abigail says. (Matt Mitovich)
Community
Señor Chang and Jeff Winger become best friends this week! Community star Ken Jeong says, “You see a deepening kind of friendship within our characters during that episode. We are similar in age and scope, and, yeah, there was a natural [progression].” (Watch With Kristin)
Cougar Town
Josh Hopkins, the guitar-playing neighbor, says that “before our characters [Grayson and Jules] ever get together, there will be a detour through some other characters, maybe another regular on the show.” (Watch With Kristin)

Next week’s gruesome eppy also boasts a finger-cutting and a head-bashing. (Michael Ausiello)
CSI: Miami
A January episode finds Calleigh working through some prickly trust issues with Jesse. (Matt Mitovich)
CSI: NY
Executive producer Pam Veasey says that the creation of the Compass Killer arc was about highlighting the show’s storied location. “We have the great, great privilege of being the New York show, and we thought all of this information is really worthy of more than one episode. So we created the Compass Killer . . . someone who is fascinated with this information.” Case in point: One upcoming episode deals with Manhattanhenge, a phenomenon in which the sun aligns with the city’s street grid. (TV Guide)
Desperate Housewives
Dana Delaney says she isn’t dying in the Wisteria Lane plane crash, “It’s not me. I’m safe in the hospital.” (Watch With Kristin)
Dexter

4.12 – The Getaway

Dollhouse
Enver Gjolkaj says to expect “a lot of reveals about Victor in Episode 9,” which is now scheduled to air December 18. “We’ll finally find out his backstory” – as well as his real first name. (Matt Mitovich)
Joss Whedon spilled a lot about the final episodes of the now-canceled show. Summer Glau’s character Bennett, who works for the Washington DC Dollhouse, is a character from Caroline’s past. We’ve known for a while that Echo will learn some unsavory details about her pre-wipe persona, and it appears that Bennett will be the person who reveals them. Whedon describes her as having morals, and explains that her arm is in a sling because she has a dead arm. As for Ray Wise’s character Howard, he may be Adelle’s DC counterpart, but he’s not so big on the morals. We’ll also be seeing more of Keith Carradine’s Harding. (TV Guide)
Alpha will be back in the December 11th two-part episode, and we’ll see one of his personalities we haven’t seen before: a violent Franciscan monk. And he’ll have some very interesting questions to ask of someone, and rather unsavory ways of asking them. This time, we’ll also see him interact with people at the Dollhouse other than Echo. (TV Guide)
Claire Saunders will return for two episodes, and where she’s been may come as a surprise. It sounds like Echo will be sent to the Attic, which Whedon describes as “Disneyland on really bad acid.” Ballard and Echo’s relationship will change in the remaining episodes (there will be a kiss), and Ballard’s whole life will change more than once. Felicia Day will return in a later episode (Whedon said he would like to return to the dystopian future of “Epitaph One”). The remainder of the season will focus on Echo realizing that her larger battle isn’t with the Dollhouse, but with Rossum. (TV Guide)
Friday Night Lights
This week, Riggins finally opens up about what happened to him and Lyla. Also, we discover in the most unlikely way someone is hiding in the closet . . . We can only imagine what this means for Coach Taylor. Oh yeah, and did we forget to mention someone dies? Yeah, it’s a pretty intense episode. (Watch With Kristin)
Fringe
On tonight’s episode, we’ll meet August, who is just as bald and hairless as last season’s Observer (who is rumored to be named September). It seems that August is doing more than observing, and his meddling could threaten a woman’s life or death. We’ll also learn that Observers have been present for many calamitous historical events, and that they’re gearing up for the next one, which includes Olivia, Peter and Walter. (TV Guide)
The producers talk about several aspects of the show centered around “Momentum Deferred.” They explain that the First Wave hybrids are more interested in intelligence-gathering than battle, and while William Bell may be telling the truth, he’s probably out to serve his own interest rather than the Fringe team’s. They also mention that Walter and Bell may have some sense of religion, and imply we’ll see more of Rebbecca. As for the formerly disembodied leader of First Wave, we will eventually learn who stored his head and why he wasn’t killed. (Fringe Television)

Meanwhile, Quinn makes it her mission to be in the Cheerios yearbook photo, and Will and Terri’s relationship is shaken to its core. (Fox)
Gossip Girl
Rufus and Lily’s relationship that will be in a very bad place until the end of the season. From what I understand, it all stems from a letter that Serena’s father is going to send her. And of course, it doesn’t help that Bart Bass is back in the mix! (Watch With Kristin)
Grey’s Anatomy
Kevin McKidd says tonight’s episode will have a major development in that little love triangle. “Something happens between the three of them that’s pretty explosive,” McKidd says. “Up until now you’ve not really seen anyone draw any lines in the sand, but you start to see that this week.” (TV Guide)

Next Tuesday you can expect cliffhangers. “Our fourth episode, which concludes the first chapter of our story, was going to have a gigantic cliffhanger,” Scott Wolf said. “But we found that there were also personal cliffhangers for some of the major characters.” Newsman Chad, for instance, gets an eyeful when he begins investigating the Visitor-staffed healing centers and the medical marvels employed therein. “Chad winds up uncovering several things, one of which puts him in a difficult position,” Wolf says. “The stakes in his ‘chess match’ with Anna rise as high as they possibly could.” (Matt Mitovich)
