With only two episodes left until ‘Once’s’ dreaded hiatus, Pan is reaching the end of his rope.
“Let’s get the hell out of Neverland.” That sentence, spoken by Emma (Jennifer Morrison) on the Dec. 1 episode of Once Upon A Time, is perhaps the sweetest collection of words I’ve heard all season. Of course, the gang’s exit strategy came with a few hiccups — and one very bad switch.

In a cruel twist of irony, Klaus finally regained the home he’s wanted for centuries — only to be more divided from his own family than ever before.Marcel’s (Charles Michael Davis) issues with Klaus (Joseph Morgan) escalated to an all-out war on the Nov. 26 episode of The Originals, forcing Rebekah (Claire Holt) to finally choose a side. Unfortunately for Vampire Barbie, she apparently chose wrong, as her brother was able to decimate Marcel’s li’l army without even breaking a sweat. Long live the king!

Pictures of the most shocking TV deaths in recent memory, including shows like “Family Guy” and “The Vampire Diaries.”

Watch our exclusive preview of Jenna & Collin’s big fight from the Nov. 26 episode of ‘Awkward,’ then weigh in on the drama!
No matter how much Jenna (Ashley Rickards) seemed to love Collin (Nolan Funk), you knew it was only a matter of time before the side-braid aficionada kicked the Gossip Girl reject to the curb — and it looks like that long-awaited day might finally be here! In this clip from the Nov. 26 episode of Awkward, obtained exclusively by HollywoodLife.com, Jenna gives her “boyfriend” a piece of her mind in the hallway, and he basically chokes on it.

Plus, the grossest scene in ‘Scandal’ history comes courtesy of a very unlikely character.
After last week’s mom-revealing, Mellie-violating, Quinn-enlisting episode of Scandal, you’d think the Nov. 21 hour might take a breather, focusing on some lighter crises in the life of Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington). Then you’d remember we’re talking about freaking Scandal. This week’s episode cranked ‘it’ up to 11, bringing more life-shattering secrets to light, and setting the stage for a mother-daughter reunion of Shonda proportions.

Plus, a long-anchored (pun intended) ship sets sail once again — and I’m already rooting for them.
No boyfriend was safe on the Nov. 21 episode of The Vampire Diaries, especially when pointy objects were involved. Not only did Katherine (Nina Dobrev) successfully purge Gregor from Matt’s body — God, I’m going to miss Zach Roerig’s Czech accent — but her doppelganger also had a nasty encounter with Caroline’s (Candice Accola) new squeeze. Needless to say, there’s going to be a ton of Facebook status-changing tonight.

Spoiler alert: Stop reading if you don’t want your fairytale-loving mind blown.
We already knew that Henry (Jared Gilmore) had the most complicated family tree in human history, but after a shocking twist on the Nov. 17 episode of Once Upon A Time, “complicated” doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface. Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle) spent the hour reflecting on his own childhood, which revealed a family secret that even the creepy little seer girl with the eye on her hand couldn’t have seen coming.

Rose tells HollywoodLife.com to expect ‘pretty big changes’ in the final four ‘Once Upon A Time’ episodes of 2013.
With Peter Pan (Robbie Kay) beginning to unravel on the Nov. 17 episode of Once Upon A Time, the gang is closer than ever to saving Henry (Jared Gilmore) and finally getting back home. HollywoodLife.com spoke with Rose McIver about the crucial role Tinkerbell will play in these last few Neverland episodes, and whether or not we’ll see her in Storybrooke!

Three Ninas. Three deaths. One incredible episode.
I hope Nina Dobrev took a nice long nap after shooting the Nov. 14 episode of The Vampire Diaries, because that girl worked her butt off. In fact, she worked all three of her butts off, as the doppelgangers were the key components in Tessa’s (Janina Gavankar) spell to make Bonnie (Kat Graham) the new anchor to the other side. And while the ladies’ efforts paid off by the end of the hour, achieving their goal came at a price. A deadly price. Three people died!

Mr. Mikaelson is racking up some serious frequent flier miles! But what’s bringing him back to ‘The Vampire Diaries’?
Just when we started to get used to seeing Tyler (Michael Trevino) in the Big Easy, another Vampire Diaries/Originals crossover is reportedly on the way! Joseph Morgan’s villain-ish Klaus will return to Mystic Falls before the show’s fifth season ends, TVGuide.com reports, though further details about his visit are being kept under wraps for now.

Plus, with Klaus quickly losing allies, the battle for the Big Easy tips dramatically in Marcel’s favor.
After watching the Nov. 12 episode of The Originals, I will never look at Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino) the same way again. Is he a good guy? A bad guy? Some sort of angsty, hybrid anti-hero? That’s all up for debate, but one thing isn’t: His revenge mission to New Orleans was a failure, and it turned everyone’s lives completely upside down. So… thanks for nothing, bro!

Plus, Emma finally chooses between Neal & Hook — but not really.
After six long weeks of non-stop Neverland, the viewers finally got to see what was going on in Storybrooke on the Nov. 10 episode of Once Upon A Time. And while it was nice to catch up with old friends — oh, Grumpy, you’re still no fun to be around — I wish it had been under better circumstances. You know, like not with Belle (Emilie de Ravin) and Ariel (JoAnna Garcia) being tied up and held at gunpoint.

Was the ‘Shake It Up’ finale everything you hoped it would be? Read our review, then give us yours!
CeCe (Bella Thorne) and the rest of the crew danced off into the sunset on the Nov. 10 series finale of Disney Channel’s Shake It Up, and for an impromptu last episode — Zendaya recently told HollywoodLife.com she thought it “fits the finale mold” — it was a pretty satisfying send-off.

Cody tells HollywoodLife.com about spoofing Josh Hutcherson and reuniting with Brant Daugherty in ‘The Starving Games.’ Plus, what was Mike really up to during his absence from ‘Pretty Little Liars’?
You know him best as Aria’s brooding brother Mike on Pretty Little Liars, but Cody Christian is done playing A’s twisted games (for now) as he switches gears to another game with a very different set of rules. The Starving Games, a hilarious spoof on The Hunger Games, is officially being released on demand and in select theaters Nov. 8 — and Cody tells HollywoodLife.com to prepare for a side of him you’ve never seen before.

The battle for New Orleans thickened on this week’s ‘Originals,’ and all of the drama seemed to revolve around Hayley.
I know I say that every episode of The Originals is the craziest one ever, but seriously, the Nov. 5 episode was actually the craziest. Ever. Not only did the gang finally break the bond between Sophie (Daniella Pineda) and Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin), but a major death turned the tide of the ongoing war in New Orleans — and Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) may be getting the last laugh, after all!

This week’s episode put the ‘ex’ in ‘hex,’ as Freya was forced to confront the last girl who came between Dash & Killian.The Beauchamp ladies were visited by the ghosts of lovers past on Witches of East End’s Nov. 3 episode, one good — Ingrid (Rachel Boston) conjured Adam’s (Jason George) spirit to help cope with his death — and one very, very evil. The worst part? Getting rid of the other-worldly troublemaker also meant leaving Ingrid devastated.
