Tonight, after five seasons, A&E’s Bates Motel will shutter its doors. Last week Norman was being held for interrogation while the police searched the motel and grounds for evidence of the murder of Sam Loomis, to which Norman had confessed. Their search turned up Chick’s dead body in the basement (the one murder Norman actually isn’t responsible for) and Audrey Ellis’s suitcase buried in the front yard. Meanwhile, Dylan revealed to Emma that the police had found her mother’s dead body in the lake, so they headed to White Pine Bay to take care of things. The morning after Norman’s hearing, Emma went to see Norman at his cell but instantly recognized that Norma was currently running the show inside Norman’s body. Shortly after she left, Norman had another visitor, Romero, who forced his way to the cell at gunpoint and then proceeded to choke Norman. But he suddenly released him, demanding to see Norma’s body.

I was a bit weary going into this final season. With Norma dead, how were they going to keep the story going and keep things interesting? Boy was I proven wrong. This final season has probably been the best, most dramatic and exciting season of the series. I can’t wait to see how this all ends tonight. Will Romero be Norman’s next victim? How will he escape all these pending murder charges, and will Dylan and Emma also fall victim to this…psycho?

On tonight’s series finale, “The Cord,” Norman Bates comes home.

See how the series ends tonight on A&E at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Quantico, Gotham, APB, Supergirl, Jane the Virgin, Better Call Saul, Young & Hungry, Baby Daddy, and Angie Tribeca.

I’m so happy with the final two teams on My Kitchen Rules. From the beginning, Lance and Diane & Dice and Valerie have been my favorites. Neither team has bagged on the others, scored them low just to save themselves, or been anything but good competitors. Last week, the final three teams had to cook two dishes for the judges as well as a few of the LA Rams, their cheerleaders, and their fans. I was happy when Brandi and Dean were sent home after their dishes had the lowest combined scores (by quite a bit, actually). In the end, I’m torn about who I want to win. Lance and Diane have been fantastic the entire competition, but considering Val has had to do pretty much every bit of the work herself because Dice wasn’t actually much help in the kitchen, I almost feel like she deserves it more. Overall, I think I’ll be happy with whoever wins.

On tonight’s episode, “Champion is Crowned,” mother-son duo Lance and Diane face off against Andrew Dice Clay and wife Valerie. The final showdown puts both teams to the test with their biggest challenge yet, as they are asked to prepare a four-course meal for a panel of six world-renowned chefs, along with all of their former contestants. Lance and Diane take an early lead, while Dice and Valerie turn up the heat as the night goes on. In the end, the teams are neck and neck, but only one team will walk away as the first winners.

Find out who wins tonight on FOX at 9:01/8:01c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing MasterChef: Junior, Chicago Med, Top Chef, Beat Bobby Flay, & Impractical Jokers.

Tonight, Bates Motel returns for the start of its fifth and final season on A&E. As the fourth season came to a close, Norman had gone full-on Psycho, blocking up the furnace vents in order to try to kill himself and his mother via carbon monoxide. Romero happened to stop by the house shortly afterwards and tried to save them, but it was too late for Norma. Norman had left a suicide note from Norma, but Romero figured out what must have really happened. He had a gun ready and was planning to kill Norman but was arrested for perjury, which delayed those plans. After the funeral, Norman dug up his mother’s body and brought it back home, but he still seemed confused and hadn’t really accepted that Norma is actually dead.

As we head into the final 10 episodes of the series, I’m curious to see what stories the writers have left to tell. We’re almost to the point in Norman’s journey that took place in the original Psycho film. Are we building to that moment? Will they re-create the events of the film in the series? Will Dylan learn about his mother’s death, and if so, how will he react and will he return home? Will Romero get his revenge on Norman, or will he ultimately become one of his latest victims? I’m looking forward to seeing how this creepy final chapter plays out.

On tonight’s premiere, “Dark Paradise,” a troubling discovery surfaces and Dylan and Emma get a surprise guest.

Check out the beginning of the end tonight on A&E at 10/9c.

And in case you need a refresher going into the final season, A&E will be airing a 30-minute “Quickie Catchup” before tonight’s premiere, at 9:30/8:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Quantico, Man With a Plan, Superior Donuts, Timeless, APB, Jane the Virgin, Humans, and Beyond.

mikemolly516smallIt’s been a long road for Mike & Molly, but the journey ends tonight, with the double-episode series finale. The last few episodes have focused on Molly and Mike and their quest to adopt a baby. Last week, they learned that Frannie (Molly’s former student who was now homeless and pregnant) planned to dance on a speaker for a friend’s band after she had the baby, which Molly was very unhappy about. So Molly did some snooping in Frannie’s bag and found a letter from her sister, Maura. She got the bright idea to invite Maura to see Frannie. At first Frannie was mad and refused to speak to Maura because she’d left Frannie with their horrible parents, but the pair eventually made up, and Maura said she wanted Frannie AND the baby to move in with her. That was great for them but bad for Molly and Mike, who wouldn’t get to adopt her baby. Then in the next episode, they decided to try with an adoption agency. It went well…until they had to schedule a home visit. Mike invited Carl and Samuel over in order to have the “black friend” and “foreign friend” demographic covered, and Molly tried her best to make everyone and everything picture perfect. Of course, things went sideways, especially when Mike tried to lean on the crib, only to decapitate the baby doll when the side dropped. Needless to say, they didn’t get to adopt a baby through that agency.

We’ve been with Mike and Molly and their families from the very first meeting, to dating, marriage, and now them trying to start a family. So how will the series end? I’ve seen both episodes, and it really is a fun, sweet, and fitting ending. I’ll be sad to see the show go after tonight.

On tonight’s first episode, “Curse of the Bambino,” Carl convinces Mike to go with him to see his psychic and Peggy drags Molly to her church to pray for something they’ve all been waiting for. Melissa McCarthy directed the episode. Then on the series finale, “I See Love,” Mike and Molly gather with family and friends for a momentous occasion and reminisce about everything that led to this point.

See if Mike and Molly can get everything they want tonight on CBS starting at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Person of Interest & Blindspot.

"MAJOR CRIMES" "Hindsight Part 5" / Ep 423 TNT Ph: Doug HyunOver the last four episodes, Major Crimes has been dealing with one major case – the murder of a mother and her young son. They quickly tied those murders in to the murders of three people (including a cop and an ADA) ten years before, because the bullets had been fired from the same gun. The main suspect for those murders was a man who was now a pastor and community leader, supposedly out of the gang and drug life. Last week, they figured out that the murdered mother was actually the third person in car when the people were murdered ten years before. But they also figured out that the reverend’s younger brother (also involved in the church) was the one to make sure the getaway car and gun were taken care of after the original crimes. And he was the one who was currently moving drugs through the church, not his older brother. When the police confronted the older brother with that information, including figuring out that the brothers’ lawyer was involved. The reverend isn’t taking their word for it about his brother, though. At the end of the last episode, he was off to confront his brother, which is where it left off for this week’s season finale.

On tonight’s episode, “Hindsight – Part 5,” all the threads of seven murders are tied together, with the field of suspects narrowed to three. And Mark Hickman finally confronts the truth about his past as Capt. Raydor makes good use of a highly unreliable witness. Provenza and Patrice solve their wedding issues. [Note from Jenny: From the picture, sure looks like they’re having a wedding. 😉 ]

See how the case plays out tonight on TNT at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Cake Wars, Scorpion, Lucifer, NCIS: LA, & Blindspot.
