Elena helps Damon relive his 1970s glory days when ‘The Vampire Diaries’ returns. (Plus, an old friend comes back!)
What’s a girl to do when her brother dies, her house burns down, and there’s an ancient evil fast approaching? Party! (Duh.) On the March 21 episode of The Vampire Diaries, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) decides that Elena (Nina Dobrev) needs “some time away from Mystic Falls,” so he whisks her away on a trip to New York City, where the couple gets a lot more than they bargained for.

One of Liam’s lovely ladies literally took a bullet for him this week — but who?
Arielle Kebbel told me the Jan. 21 episode of 90210 was worth waiting through the hiatus, but I really think she undersold just how crazy it was. Annie (Shenae Grimes) and Vanessa joined forces to rescue Liam (Matt Lanter) and his beautiful hair, and while the mission was successful, it may have cost one of them more than they bargained for. Dun, dun, dun!

‘Lannie’ has finally been reunited, albeit in the clutches of two murderous psychopaths.
If you watched the 30-second promo for the winter finale of 90210, you pretty much saw the entire episode, as The CW literally gave away the three biggest twists: Naomi (AnnaLegend McCord) discovered that Alec is in love with Max, Liam (Matt Lanter) found himself tied up in a basement, and Teddy (Trevor Donovan) told Silver (Jessica Stroup) he didn’t want her to have their baby without him. But even without any so-called ‘surprises,’ the Dec. 10 episode was still as enjoyable an hour as ever. It’s always been about the nuances with this show, people. The nuances!
