The latest episode of “666 Park Avenue” continued to confuse, but we got a few more answers as well.

Jane was determined to leave The Drake, but Henry did not want to. Honestly I can’t figure out who Gavin wants to stay more, Henry or Jane? Gavin put Olivia on the case, and they worked to help Henry buy an engagement ring and propose to Jane.

Nona’s grandma Lottie was able to talk long enough in this episode to warn Nona not to let Jane leave the building. Later as Jane dreams, she sees a little blond hair girl skipping in the lobby. This is not the same girl as the girl under the bed. Then Nona appears in her dream telling her that just like her, she’s a child of The Drake . . . What does this mean? A child who just lived there at one point, or BORN there? We saw flashbacks of Nona’s mom being trapped in the elevator and going into labor . . . Was Nona born in the building?

The next day when Nona confronted her, Jane said was positive that she’d never left Indiana until she was an adult. However how then did Nona connect with her in her dreams? Nona then took Jane to her apartment and showed her what her grandma had been collecting for years. News clippings mainly, of people who had gone missing in the building. However she had one photo though, one of Jane as a child in the hotel. It’s the same little girl in Jane’s dream! What what what !?!?!? Clearly Jane was at The Drake, but for some reason doesn’t recall it. My guess is she’s blocked whatever happened out.

By the end of the episode Henry was ready to propose, but Nona needed help . . . Lottie’s gone missing! They foundnd her in the basement, and Lottie in her sleepwalking state grabbed Jane’s amulet/necklace and looked at the ceramic pattern on the floor with it, as if it was an eyepiece. Jane got it . . . Every piece of tile in the pattern is original except for one. It’s a replica piece of her necklace! She pried it out, put her necklace in, and a mysterious staircase opened. Idiotically, Jane descended only to have it close over her head . . .

Also going on during the episode . . .

Brian’s run-ins with Alexis continued. However after screwing her, he ran into the doctor and basically figured everything out. Alexis played him, his wife never played “doctor” with the Dr. Evans, and now he’s the one who is screwed. He tried to call it off with Alexis, but she told him she just moved into The Drake. I have to wonder if she’s ALWAYS been in the building? Is she one of the creepy spirits trapped there?

Dr. Evans helped Kandinsky get free as Gavin ordered, but his conscience was getting the best of him. Later at a party, of course hosted by the Dorans, Victor Shaw showed up. Olivia played her part, trying to convince him that she wanted to leave Gavin and be with him. She kissed him with poisoned lipstick, and he went down! Dr. Evans, who was ready to shoot Gavin at that point, was then called to help the man who just went down . . .

So where the heck did Jane go? Better question, why the hell did she go down those steps? She already got herself trapped on the other side of that door once before! The previews have set up the mystery I’ve most been interested in, what really happened to Gavin and Olivia’s daughter. Shaw revealed that she wasn’t dead! Could she too be trapped in the building somewhere? Or have we already met her? Why do I think their daughter could be that PR woman who is after Henry?

Some spoilers for the end of November and early December, which is usually when shows begin their hiatuses until after the new year. So far nothing has been posted for “Grey’s” after this Thursday’s episode. “Private Practice” episodes seem to have been pushed back after Sandy and then the election interrupted it for two weeks.

In other news, “Nashville” got a full season pick up, so I may finally add that to the blog since I do enjoy it. I’m not three weeks behind on “Revenge,” due to it being up against “The Walking Dead.” I guess I’ll catch up on it over December. I still am watching “Revolution” and “Last Resort,” but just not enjoying them as much as I thought I initially would.

Some highlights . . .

On “Once,” the full releases of the spoilers I posted a week or so ago. Yes it looks like we may finally learn who the Queen of Hearts is or was!
On “Revenge,” a flashback episode where Emily/Amanda first meets Takeda.
On “666,” a bunch of huge guest stars coming up, and the mystery of Sasha Doran is revealed!
On “Castle,” A meet the parents episode, as well as a Christmas episode!
On “Last Resort,” the crew celebrates Thanksgiving with the islanders, but you know this dinner won’t be peaceful.

Read on for all the spoilers . . .

Let’s just start off with the fact that I think that this week’s episode was absolutely pointless. I could have seen this as a filler episode somewhere else in the season. However not during November Sweeps, and not when there only a few new episodes of the shows left before they go off for the holiday season and return next year.

The entire show, save for the final seconds, basically dealt with Ruby/Red. In the past, Red basically met a pack of wolf shape shifters that called themselves “Children of the Moon.” Their leader was her mother, who Red thought was dead. Turns out Granny kidnapped her from her mother. While Granny wanted Red to embrace her human side, her mom wanted her to embrace the wolf. The mom ended up dying by Red’s hand, accidentally. The mom was going to kill Snow, who they captured, because Red refused to. Red was only trying to save Snow.

In Storybrook, the dwarfs had found diamonds in the mine. These could be ground into fairy dust, and with what was left of Jefferson’s hat could hopefully open a portal. Meanwhile it was the first full moon since the curse was broken, and Ruby was afraid she’d turn. It had been so long, she didn’t think she could control it anymore and may hurt someone. She did turn, and a guy named Gus ended up dead.

Okay back the truck up . . . if Ruby can now turn into a wolf again . . . why hasn’t anyone else in town turned back to what they were in Fairytale land? I’m just saying!

As it turned out, Ruby didn’t kill the guy. The king (Charles?) did, and he did so to try and make the people lose faith in David/Charming as their leader. The kind had one final trick up his sleeve. While David was busy trying to calm Ruby the Wolf down, the king managed to steal Jefferson’s hat and burned it. He laughed that now David would never get his family back!

Not so fast! The final moments had Aurora in current fairytale land having another nightmare. In this one she saw a little boy, Henry. Henry also saw her and talked to her. When Aurora woke up, she told her dream to Emma and Snow. So it seems a way across still exists somehow.

“Glee” finally returned after what seemed like a forever long hiatus. After the last break-up episode, which was a major downer, we got the more upbeat Grease inspired episode. This episode had Artie reaching out to Finn and asking him to co-direct the school’s musical. They then brought in Mike and Mercedes to help with the show and casting. Meanwhile all the new Glee kids, and some of the older ones, auditioned for roles. Absent, and honestly not missed, were Rachel and Kurt. I’m glad we had an episode that focused on the school for once.

This episode introduced us to Finn 2.0, Ryder who is played by this past season’s “Glee Project” winner Blake Jenner. Finn had to convince the jock to try out for the play and Glee club, but didn’t resort to Shue like blackmail.

Speaking of Shue, he and Emma worked things out. Phew! She agreed to go with him to D.C. for a bit so he could do his work on the arts council. However he needed someone to take over Glee club, and he chose Finn.

Finn is definitely going to have his hands full, and Sue won’t make it easy for him. He crossed her several times in this episode. Sue told him not to cast Wade/Unique in a female role, but Wade wanted to play Rizzo. Finn gave him the role . . . which Sue was not happy about. During a confrontation, Finn ended up calling her baby the R word . . . Oh no Finn didn’t! He of course immediately apologized, but Sue is not about to forgive him anytime soon. If Finn is going to lead this club to sectionals while Shue is gone, it may be the toughest sectionals yet! Something tells me Sue is going to destroy Finn and the club.

I have to say, I loved the storylines, I didn’t miss Kurt or Rachel, but I’m not a Grease fan. I just never got into that one. I know most of the major songs, and I know how to do the hand jive. Being in marching band and pep band in high school, you basically HAD to know how to do it. However when the kids were singing that song, I swear they were not pronouncing jive very clearly! If I didn’t know what the song said, I would have thought they were singing about a certain sex act.

Last week’s “Grey’s” was the big Christina and Meredith episode, where they became one another’s person again basically. It was a pretty heart breaking episode too!

At the Mayo Clinic, Christina kept choosing Dr. Thomas over her sex bud Dr. Parker, and it was not making her sex friend happy. Unfortunately Parker would never get the chance to force Thomas out, because Dr. Thomas ended up dying during a surgery. Noooooooo!!!!!!

In Seattle, Meredith got herself involved with an accident victim who reminded her way too much of Lexie, and she wasn’t going to let her die like Lexie did. The Chief realized what was going on and tried to get her to step away . . . However she wouldn’t, and managed to save her patient.

Of course the pivotal point came at the end. Christina knocks at Meredith’s door, where Meredith breaks down finally over Lexie’s death.

We all knew Christina would be coming back eventually. They just couldn’t keep this going on. I was really afraid they’d kill Thomas off and that’s why Christina would leave, and that’s just what they did. I wish they could have found another way, because Thomas and Christina were so much fun!

The previews for next week seem to indicate that Meredith is about to lose her status as the monster of the hospital to Christina, who of course I’m sure will earn whatever nickname she gets!

I didn’t post about last week’s “American Horror Story,” so I thought I’d make just a quick post before tonight’s episode.

Last week’s episode had a Nor’easter hitting the hospital, which meant Kit, Lana and Grace were going to make an escape attempt. Wait what? Such deja vous! I had thought after last week Lana would have realized Kit was innocent, but nope she hadn’t! However once they escaped, they ran right back inside after they encountered Arden’s monsters. That’s when Thredson told Lana that he checked up on her “friend” as she begged him to, and he’s afraid something may have happened to her and that perhaps the killer hadn’t really been caught . . . . Dum dum dum dum!

I have to say I am loving possessed Mary Eunice, but wonder how long she can go on without being found out. When she tried to seduce Arden I was seriouslly laughing my ass off. I also loved when she was disturbed from the movie at the point where the Christians were just about to be eaten and how upset she was.

Sister Jude is now being haunted by the demons of her past, namely the little girl she mowed down one night while on a bender. Sister Jude and her dirty dirty little secrets! Wouldn’t it be a twist to learn the girl she killed was a daughter she gave away from one of her earlier transgressions? Damn, that might be enough to drive someone crazy!

Last week’s show had the lovely Adam Levine and Mrs. Channing Tatum getting taken out for good, but not by Bloody Face. It seemed some insane kids dressed up as him were in the hospital and ended up shooting them down. Unfortunately for them, the REAL Bloody Face then showed up to take them out. Oopsie! I’ve been thinking more and more about who this could be. I’m thinking given the time line, Arden can’t be Bloody Face, or at least the current version. I mean he’s pretty ancient in the past, so he’s gotta be dead by now. Sister June is in the same boat I’m afraid. So the question really is, is the current Bloody Face the same one from the past?

So I’m forgoing any kind of detailed recap with this post because if I don’t take notes while the show is playing, I forget something important; and because I’m so behind in TV post that I want to just get some thoughts up and move on to what else should be airing this week . . . should we have power after this next storm hits us!

On “Once Upon A Time” we learned about Emma’s past and finally met Henry’s dad, Neal. However what we know isn’t exactly what Emma thinks she knows . . . so no wonder she thinks Henry’s dad is a no good rat! Emma and Neal spent years running from town to town doing small time thefts to get by. However Neal’s past caught up to him, he once did a real big heist, and he needed to flee to Canada. However Emma came up with a plan for them both to get some money and head north, but things went very wrong. From Emma’s point of view, Neal set her up to take the fall for the crime he did years ago and then headed to Canada. She went to jail, and learned she was pregnant. That much we knew from an earlier episode. However it seems she thinks Neal screwed her. What we learned was that August/Pinocchio showed up and seems to be who really screwed her. He told Neal about the town he is trying to save, and how Emma plays a vital role in saving it, and yada yada . . . He said Neal had to get out of her life so she could save the town. Neal gave all the money from the crime to August to give to Emma, which he said he would. But then we saw the look in his eye . . . given it was another 10 years before August even showed up in Storybrook and met Emma, something tells me Pinocchio was just a bad bad boy! I do, however, think we can safely assume it was August who sent the card to Neal about the curse being broken, probably out of guilt.

In Fairytale land, Emma basically got the compass they need to find the portal from the giant, but also left Captain Hook chained in his castle. They were getting pretty close, but it seems she doesn’t trust him and doesn’t want to make the same mistake again. Awwwww, how could she leave that hottie Hook like that? Was she right about him though? Was he playing her, or has she been so jaded by her past and the betrayal she thinks was done to her by Neal that she threw away a shot at true love?

Finally it seems there is some shared nightmare going around. Aurora/Beauty who just woke up seems to be experiencing what Snow and others got long ago? Meanwhile in Storybrook it seems Henry is also getting a taste of the dream. The dream seems to be about some big bad dark shadow monster . . . . I have to wonder if they are trying to set up a new evil creature? If so, who?

Onto “666 Park Avenue” . . . I didn’t get to write up last week’s show because, well a hurricane ended up coming in. This week was the fall out from the Doran’s Halloween party and Peter Kramer trying to kill Jane as he thought she was his wife because of her necklace. Henry didn’t seem to believe her story about the killer, especially after the cops told her they found no trace of a dead body anywhere. They suspected psychological problems, and Henry remembered that Jane’s grandma apparently ended up in the psych ward. Later though the lead detective talked to Jane and seemed to be open minded about her story, and then started digging into the Drake’s mysterious past . . . Oh dear, he’s probably gunna die!

Olivia and Gavin learned their own lawyer betrayed them and helped have “their box” stolen from the safe. Gavin learned some Victor Shaw guy is behind it as payback. He wants the Drake, and if he doesn’t get it then he’ll open the box . . . Gavin didn’t think he could control it . . . Is this thing supposed to be Pandora’s box? That’s what I’m thinking. Shaw seemed to be doing this because Gavin took something of his in the past. He also said something about how Gavin won Olivia by nefarious means. It seems Gavin trapped the guy Olivia used to be with in the Drake forever, and then got Olivia for himself. This made me again wonder, is Gavin the bio-dad of his and Olivia’s daughter? Or did he do away with that guy to win her, and maybe their daughter found this information out? Did the daughter even really kill herself?

The end of the show had Gavin calling Shaw’s bluff and leaving him another box to open . . . in which was their lawyer’s decapitated head! Gavin then arranged to get Kandinsky out of prison, which means Shaw’s probably in serious trouble now that Gavin knows who he is. Elsewhere Jane learned that Peter Kramer was one of the men in the mysterious photo she found of the Drake’s basement and that creepy door. She also realized her pendant is also on Kramer’s wife in another photo, and thus the little girl is her crazy grandma . . . Well I think we figured that one out. However why is her grandma trapped in the building as a little girl ghost?

A few spoilers for some mid-November ABC spoilers in this post. As I’m really starting to enjoy “Nashville” way more than some of the other shows I picked up (“Last Resort” and “Revolution”) I may finally add it into the blog. Though that probably means ABC will pull it 🙂

– On “Castle,” does the “documentary style episode” as camera crews follow them on their latest case.
– On “Private Practice,” Henry’s birth mom shows up wanting to be more a part of her son’s life.
– On “Last Resort,” Sam’s wife is indited by the government! Meanwhile a traitor is on the sub . . .
