‘Jane By Design’ Summer Finale: Jane’s Secret Is Finally Exposed

The first season of ‘Jane By Design’ came to a close with surprise twists, new beginnings & one major cliffhanger! (This show NEEDS a second season.)
When Jane By Design creator April Blair told me everything would be “put in jeopardy” for Jane (Erica Dasher) on the July 31 summer finale, I didn’t realize what an understatement that really was. While Jane began the hour with a major victory in London, she ended it with a disappointing realization about Billy (Nick Roux) — and a very uncertain future at Donovan Decker!

‘Teen Wolf’ Recap: Allison Seeks Revenge & [Spoiler] Dies

Plus, the Kanima gets a new (scarier) master in what I officially dub the best episode of ‘Teen Wolf’ yet!
With only a few episodes left until Teen Wolf’s second season finale, I figured we were in store for a few twists this week — but nothing could have prepared me for the sexy pretzel that was the July 30 episode, “Fury.” By the end of the mind-blowing hour, Scott’s (Tyler Posey) secret was exposed, a fan-favorite character was dead, and the Kanima found itself a new master. (Yeah, it was that intense.)

Teen Wolf Episode 209

'Teen Wolf' Recap: The Kanima's Master Is Revealed

Plus: One of our favorites suffers a devastating loss, a terrifying evil returns, and Stiles battles a really big birthday present.
After the July 23 episode of Teen Wolf, I think it’s official: Lydia (Holland Roden) throws the best parties in Beacon Hills. I wouldn’t exactly call them ‘fun’ — because, you know, everybody either hallucinates or dies — but they’re definitely memorable.

Michael chatted with HollywoodLife.com about Steve’s shenanigans in the second half of the season, including his vamped-up love life and who really turned him from a self-righteous preacher to a just-plain-righteous bloodsucker.

'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: 'April Rose' Is Revealed — Who Is She?

Plus, Garrett’s murder case takes a surprising turn! I haven’t been this upset over an acquittal since O.J.
It was a weird week in Rosewood. Like, really weird — even for Pretty Little Liars’ standards. On the July 17 episode, Hanna (Ashley Benson) went on a ‘date’ with Toby (Keegan Allen), her mom bared her cleavage for a pastor, and Spencer (Troian Bellisario) visited a creepy antique store. OK, that last part wasn’t so weird. It’s pretty much Spencer’s favorite after-school activity.

'Teen Wolf' Recap: The Kanima Speaks & [Spoiler] Gets Bitten

Was this episode supposed to be scary or sexy? Because it was definitely both. Nicely done, ‘Teen Wolf.’
There was once a time I thought I knew what was happening on Teen Wolf — but that was before I watched the July 16 episode, in which everything changed. Ghosts were mentioned, innocent peeps were killed, and Stiles (Dylan O’Brien) shed some big ol’ tears. Yup, it was one of those nights.

'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: Jenna Goes Public, While 'A' Turns To Drugs

I always knew ‘A’ was twisted, but even I couldn’t have predicted chemical warfare. Always double check your drinks, girls!
Science really can do some amazing things these days. Not only did Jenna (Tammin Sursok) regain her sight, but as we saw on the July 10 episode of Pretty Little Liars, she also gained the ability to throw a bitchin’ party! Of course, like all big events in Rosewood, her birthday celebration quickly took “A” tragic turn.

Awkward Episode 202

'Awkward' Recap: Matty Tells Jenna He Loves Her

Plus, Jenna finally confronts her mom about the carefrontation letter — and it doesn’t go well.
The July 5 episode of Awkward taught viewers yet another timeless lesson: If you’re going to have sex, or do anything sex-like, make sure you’re not being filmed! When footage of Jenna (Ashley Rickards) and Matty (Beau Mirchoff) hooking up at “the sanctuary” went public — along with the sexcapades of nearly every other ne’er-do-well at school — she decided to tell Jake (Brett Davern) about her real first time.

'Teen Wolf' Recap: The Kanima Is Finally Revealed

Were you surprised to learn who the kanima really is, or did you suspect it all along? (Warning: spoilers ahead!)
With Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) and his crew of furry fury out for Lydia’s (Holland Roden) blood — he became convinced she was the kanima after she remained unaffected by its toxin — it was up to Scott (Tyler Posey) and friends to keep her safe on the June 25 episode of Teen Wolf. Little did they know…

She’s keeping a big secret from Ryder, and Rachel tells HollywoodLife.com it’s “something that affects their relationship.” Any guesses?

'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: Melissa's Big Baby Secret Is Revealed

Spoiler alert: Stop reading if you haven’t watched this week’s ‘Pretty Little Liars.’
Even when your whole life is crashing around you, you’re supposed to be able to rely on your family — unless, of course, you’re a Hastings, which Spencer (Troian Bellisario) learned the hard way on the June 19 episode of Pretty Little Liars. Big sis Melissa (Torrey DeVitto) finally returned to Rosewood this week, and like always, she brought along a nasty little secret.

'Teen Wolf' Recap: Another Enemy Discovers Scott's Big Secret

Plus, we have new clues about the identity of the lizard creature! Who’s ready to play detective?
I was wondering when Allison’s (Crystal Reed) grandpa was finally going to figure out Scott’s (Tyler Posey) hairy surprise, but I have to admit, the revelation happened sooner than I thought — and there was way more stabbing involved. Grandpappy Argent confronted Scott on the June 18 episode of Teen Wolf, demanding his help in exchange for not killing his mom. Because grandparents are cute like that.

'Pretty Little Liars' Mystery: Did Melissa Lose Her Baby — Again?

A new still from the show’s June 26 episode reveals Melissa with a flat stomach — and no baby in sight.
When we last saw Melissa Hastings (Torrey DeVitto) on the second season of Pretty Little Liars, she was still sporting a massive baby bump — but when we next encounter her on the show’s June 19 episode, we’re going to see a noticeably different frame. I suspected Melissa may have suffered a miscarriage during the third season premiere, when Spencer (Troian Bellisario) told their mom not to worry about her, but it seems we have our first piece of concrete evidence.

“Bitch can see!” Aria (Lucy Hale) wins the award for best line of the night, as the girls finally learned that Jenna (Tammin Sursok) has been faking her blindness on the June 12 episode of Pretty Little Liars. Of course, that was hardly their biggest problem this week.

‘Game Of Thrones’ Recap: The Stark Boys’ Fates Are Revealed

Plus, war isn’t just coming… It’s here!
Tyrion’s (Peter Dinklage) life may have become become a twisted re-telling of Pretty Woman, but the May 20 episode of Game of Thrones couldn’t have been less of a romantic comedy. When Tyrion tried to ship Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) off to war, Cersei (Lena Headey) used “his” whore as leverage to keep her son safe. Of course, there’s one very important details Cersei seems to have missed…

'90210' Season Finale Recap: Is [Spoiler] Really Dead?

Plus, Silver finally picks a baby daddy! What do you think of her decision?
If the May 15 season finale of 90210 was turned into a late-’90s FOX game show, it would probably be called Who Wants To Impregnate A Teenager, as Silver (Jessica Stroup) spent the better part of the hour choosing which of her friends-with-benefits she wanted to make a baby with. Her choices: Navid (Michael Steger Jr.), who confessed his undying love for her, and Liam (Matt Lanter), who might actually be the only character on the show prettier than her. And after much careful consideration, Silver chose…

‘Desperate Housewives’ Series Finale Was Way Too Depressing

What did you think of the way ‘Desperate Housewives’ ended? HollywoodLife.com readers — and myself — were hoping for more.
After spending eight years with the women of Wisteria Lane, Desperate Housewives fans figured they’d be reaching for the tissues during the show’s May 13 series finale. But instead of getting the warm, satisfying ending they’d hoped for, viewers watched in disappointment as four seemingly life-long friends — Susan (Teri Hatcher), Gaby (Eva Longoria), Lynette (Felicity Huffman) and Bree (Marcia Cross) — parted ways, never to see each other again.

'Game Of Thrones': Daenerys Finds Her Dragons After A Surprise Bloodbath

Plus, Theon continues his quest to become the worst. character. ever.
My mantra has gone from “Kill Joffrey” to “Kill Theon” over the course of the season, and my contempt for the little Stark-crosser grew ten-fold on Game of Thrones’ May 13 episode. Theon (Alfie Allen) was most displeased that his flunkies let Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) and Rickon (who I forget exists each week) escape Winterfell. Unable to track them down, he faked their deaths to send a message to all of Westeros. You know, so now everyone can hate him as much as the viewers already do.
