Jane the Virgin: Hitting the Motherlode

It's the motherload of telenovela tropes! Babies being born, hostages being held, a long-lost brother revealed, dramatic heart to heart conversations about love and sex and...accusations of plagiarism? Jane the Virgin runs down every big telenovela trope as Petra finally gives birth.

Quantico: Everyone Hates Alex (S1 E12 Recap)

Welcome back to Quantico -- back to constant time shifts to keep us from noticing that for every two minutes of action there's fifty minutes of nothing, but who cares when everyone is so pretty and there's always a locker room and/or wrestling scene?

How to Get Away with Murder: Poor Communication Kills

Wes continues to investigate his mother's death, Annalise negotiates a plea deal, Laurel and Frank remain broken up, and the ANTLs keep their eye out for Creepy Philip. If everybody just talked about their problems, there would be a lot less unnecessary flashbacks and double crossing. But hey, it wouldn't be "How To Get Away With Murder" now would it?

Supergirl: Blue is the Hottest Color (S1 E15 RECAP)

It's new Supergirl vs. old Supergirl as Laura Vandervoort guest stars as an evil blue alien who is definitely not Mystique. Also, if you're interested in not becoming a supervillain, stay the heck away from Winn; he's a bit of a bad-luck charm.

Jane the Virgin: Use It or Lose It!

Jane goes on a date with the hunky Professor Chavez, Xiomara contemplates freezing her eggs to make Rogelio happy, Michael makes one last play to catch Sin Rostro and Mutter. In telenovela land, you better use what you got if you want to gain everything. Or in Jane's case, lose something very important.
