RELATED STORIES

If you listen closely to Robyn McCall’s teenage daughter Delilah on CBS’ The Equalizer (Sundays, 8/7c), she might sound familiar.

That’s because, up until last year, Laya DeLeon Hayes, the young actress who plays Delilah voiced the title character on Disney Junior’s Doc McStuffins. Now she’s using that same sweet voice to give her mom Robyn (played by Queen Latifah) all the snark and back chat she can handle and then some.

Thankfully, there is more to Delilah than sass. And when the revamped procedural airs on Easter Sunday, fans will find out what the teenager has been doing when she volunteers at the local juvenile detention center. Titled “The Room Where It Happens,” Episode 6 is a callback to the pilot when Robyn punished Delilah for shoplifting and lying by making her give back to the community and help girls her age who are less fortunate.

“That whole scene was a really important scene when we go to the juvenile detention center, because Delilah has been very privileged compared to those girls,” DeLeon Hayes tells TVLine. “And she hasn’t had her mom around. So she kind of thinks she can get away with certain things that really aren’t good for her and that could also put her in very dangerous situations considering the color of her skin. And I think us having that scene was just very pivotal.”

The Equalizer Delilah sass faceBecause Delilah hasn’t spent enough quality time with her mom, a former CIA operative, she constantly tests the boundaries.

“It’s one of the first times Delilah is really understanding her mother,” the one-time Texan adds. “We get a lot of intimate and emotional scenes with Robyn and Delilah and that’s the start of them. And I think it was the perfect one to start with. Being a Black girl, you think you can do certain things your white friends or white counterparts can do, and you can’t. There’s just always different consequences and it’s good that we established that very early in the series.”

Delilah also has a civically minded side as demonstrated in Episode 4, “It Takes a Village,” when she took on City Hall in an attempt to get a pothole fixed. She’s also curious about what her mom really does for a living and has caught Robyn, a shadowy but benevolent fixer for folks who can’t go to the police, in a lie or two. Viewers can expect more of those types of exchanges as well.

“We have a heated scene that we did in Episode 106. Afterward, Queen was like, ‘You did that. You had me believing that you were really mad at me.’ But we always hug and joke after scenes like that,” DeLeon reveals. “Delilah is causing a lot of trouble, a little bit more than we’ve seen from her previously. And she also has a friend in this episode, which is going to be exciting.”

The Equalizer Laya DeLeon Hayes“I love to see Delilah with other 15-year-olds who are her age,” she continues. “She’s not going to just hang around with her family and have an attitude with her mom. You’re also going to see more of her compassionate side and also her trying to do things with that compassion that aren’t always best for her. You’ll get to see a lot more of that kind of energy, like when she took an interest in politics, in upcoming episodes.”

Unlike CBS’ original The Equalizer, which aired from 1985-1989 and starred the late Edward Woodward as a retired CIA agent, Latifah’s character is a divorcee who lives with her daughter and her Aunt Vi (Lorraine Toussaint). She has a former handler, William Bishop (Chris Noth), who helps out, and two sidekicks (Liza Lapira’s Mel and Adam Goldberg’s Harry) who have her back. But as Latifah has noted, she is especially proud of what Toussaint and Hayes bring to the show.

“We see three generations of Black women, not just one,” she says. “The world needs to see what life is like for us.”

The Equalizer Robyn and Aunt ViDeLeon agrees. “We don’t get to see that a lot on television,” the Raven’s Home alum observes. “I know so many aunts and even grandmothers who have really taken a crucial role in raising children with single moms. The fact that we get to show Black women doing that on television, especially on network TV, is so important. Queen is a great Equalizer and I knew she would be from the first script. And Lorraine Toussaint is amazing as Aunt Vi. I love seeing all the tweets about her.”

The Equalizer also challenges and enriches DeLeon, she says. For example, in Episode 2, “Glory,” she got to flex her rap skills, an unexpected opportunity that still makes her smile.

“I didn’t know I could rap,” DeLeon says with a giggle. “I got to set and they were like, ‘In this next episode, we kind of want you to rap.’ And I was like, ‘Rapping? I’m not going to say no.’ And that episode was so much fun. That was a blast. They put a lot of trust in me on the show, which is great.

Laya DeLeon Hayes“We filmed that portion of it when we did the performance, before we got Queen’s reaction,” she recalls. “So she wasn’t there for when we filmed the actual performance scene. Afterward, she was watching the end of us filming and she gave me her approval. She was like, ‘Girl, you did that. You did that.’ This is Queen Latifah that we’re talking about, so, I must be pretty good.”

Gugu Mbatha-Raw and David Oyelowo are going into real estate together (sort of): The two will star in HBO Max’s limited series adaptation of The Girl Before, TVLine has learned.

Based on the bestselling thriller by JP Delaney, The Girl Before centers on Jane (Mbatha-Raw), who moves into a gorgeous house designed by an enigmatic architect (Oyelowo). The only catch is, Jane has to live according to the architect’s exacting rules. Plus, she discovers that the house’s previous occupant, a woman named Emma, died there. “As the two women’s timelines interweave, Jane begins to question if her fate will be the same as the girl before,” according to the official synopsis.

HBO Max will co-produce the four-episode limited series with BBC One. Lisa Brühlmann (Killing Eve, Servant) will direct.

Mbatha-Raw co-starred on the freshman season of Apple TV+’s The Morning Show as talent booker Hannah Shoenfeld. She also starred opposite Mackenzie Davis in the Black Mirror episode “San Junipero” and is set to appear in the upcoming Disney+ Marvel series Loki. Her film credits include Beyond the Lights, Concussion and Beauty and the Beast.

Oyelowo is best known for his film roles, including starring as Martin Luther King Jr. in the 2014 Ava DuVernay film Selma, which earned him a Golden Globe nomination. He also scored Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for starring in the HBO original movie Nightingale, and played Javert in PBS’ 2018 adaptation of Les Misérables.

Would you have watched a show focused on Buffy‘s Faith? How about one in which The Office‘s Dwight runs a farm? Or a teen drama starring Brittany Snow and Krysten Ritter as a pair of Gossip girls in 1980s Los Angeles? So. Would. We.

That’s what makes this gallery so bittersweet. It’s a reminder of 10+ promising spinoff concepts that tragically never made it to series. Some were presented as backdoor pilots, while others were merely ideas bandied around by the series’ creators, but they were all very real possibilities.

And we understand that spinoffs are tricky. On one hand, some of today’s most celebrated series (i.e. The Good Fight and Better Call Saul) are byproducts of pre-existing shows. On the other hand — and it’s really big hand — an ill-conceived spinoff can tarnish a character’s legacy and alienate a previously loyal fandom. (Raise your hand if you still suffer from Joey-related night terrors.)

But the one thing that all of those shows, both good and bad, have in common is that they were given a chance. (And before you ask us why we didn’t include Gilmore Girls‘ Jess-centric spinoff on our list, just know that it was considered… and quickly vetoed.)

RELATED STORIES

This recap, by the very definition of the word “recap,” contains spoilers from Episode 4 of DC’s Stargirl (which premieres new episodes Mondays on DC Universe and Tuesday on The CW).

Stargirl this week began assembling a new Justice Society of America. Was her first recruit a purrfect fit?

“Wildcat” opened with a flashback to three months ago, where we discovered that Yolanda (now of the “Losers” lunch table) used to be quite popular at Blue Valley High, though not in an obnoxious/Mean Girl way. She was dating Henry King Jr., she was a favorite to win whatever student government position she was running for, her parents doted on her….

But then, one night, Henry texts Yolanda at home, asking her to “send me a pic… something sexy.” Yolanda is hesitant, but when Henry stresses “just 4 me” and that he loves her, she slips off her top and bra and snaps a topless selfie for her beau.

Backstory short, Cindy somehow got her hands on the sext and circulated it around to everyone just as Yolanda was giving an election day speech before the student body. Mortification, a rough break-up, and a grounding/hardcore estrangement by her parents followed.

Back in the present day, Courtney surveys the artifacts she gathered from the OG JSA HQ —  Doctor Mid-Nite’s goggles, Hourman’s hourglass, Wildcat’s cowl, Johnny Thunder’s “pen,” a lantern that is green. While keeping her stash a secret, she reaffirms to Pat that she wants to begin recruiting, but he is against dragging anyone else into this. Instead, his priority is finding the villains before they find them. That day at school, Courtney clashes with Cindy, who was bullying Yolanda. “You have no idea who you’re messing with,” the Mean Girl hissed. “Neither do you,” the secret Stargirl shot back. Yolanda, though, again rebuffed the new girl’s friendship, insisting she wants to be left alone.

Courtney finds Yolanda boxing in the school gym, and tries a different approach: “It’s not you who needs my help, it’s me who needs your help.” She invites Yolanda to her house for dinner that, night, saying she’ll explain everything then — alas, Yolanda is very grounded. The next day, Courtney works the Henry connection, revealing that she was the one who (accidentally) blew up the jock’s car. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend…?” Yolanda breaks down, explaining that Henry had been ‘so nice” and she thought they were getting serious. But now her whole life has changed. Her mortified parents won’t even bring her to church anymore.

Yolanda agrees to come over, and Courtney shows her the cosmic staff and shares a bit of her “destiny” as Starman’s (possible) daughter. Court invites Yolanda to try on the Wildcat outfit, and… it is nasty. Baggy, nondescript, and it smells like a gym locker. Yet when she puts on the (worse-smelling) cowl, the whole outfit magically transforms into a sleek, form-fitting catsuit. After checking Wiki to see what Wildcat’s powers were (e.g. dangerous claws, agility), the girls test them out around town. They then decide to follow Henry to his father/Brainwave’s hospital room, and get a peek at his visitor’s log — maybe ID other villains. At one point, Henry almost spots Yolanda behind him, but she leaps/clings to the ceiling above. After he leaves, she hides in a corner while Courtney hovers outside the window, as Principal Bowin slips in… and begins playing the violin for the patient, though to no anticipated effect. (“Is she a villain, too??” the duo wonder.) The girls then flee the hospital, but not without lunch acquaintance Beth, who was visiting her doctor mom, taking notice.

Back at Courtney’s, Yolanda brings the team-up to a halt, saying she doesn’t think she should be Wildcat — that she first needs to return to who she used to be, before she adopts any new persona. But when she goes home and makes an impassioned plea to her family to allow her to move forward with her life and be her old self, Mom holds firm, “You’ll never be. You disgraced your family, and yourself!” Sent to her room, Yolanda finds on her window sill the Wildcat costume with a note from Courtney: “I can’t do this alone!”  Moments later, Yolanda is suited back up and rapping at Courtney’s window.

Stargirl Dragon KingElsewhere this week:

* Inside the ISA bunker, Dr. Ito (aka Dragon King) admitted to Jordan/Icicle that he never quite understood the need for a “team,” though now he believes in the ISA more than any of the others. What’s more, “I’ll never betray you,” he stressed. “Not like The Shade.” (Oh, the shade!) Dr. Ito reports, “I’ve been working on my daughter,” while Jordan expresses an interest in helping his colleague complete a machine he has been working on. Dr. Ito appreciates the offer, echoing his own support for Project New America, through which “one generation’s ultimate sacrifice will protect the next.” Dr. Ito notes, “I won’t fail you like the Wizard,” who was “vile” to the doc when he first came to town. He then asks if he may have the deceased ISA member’s body. And Jordan agrees. Which is polite.

* Denise, the widow of William Zarick aka The Wizard, shows up at Pat’s auto body shop, clearly rattled by her son’s and husband’s deaths. Later picking up her fixed wagon, she shares with Pat that she is leaving Blue Valley for good, warning him, “Don’t trust this town…. William didn’t have a heart attack.” She states that Joey wanted to be “just like” his Dad, which frankly puzzles Pat, who knew William to be a vanilla councilman. Later, while combing the local junk yard for parts, Pat spots the Zaricks’ cat and Denise’s discarded wagon, emptied of all belongings except for Joey’s magician’s hat.

This week’s Legends of Tomorrow time quake sends the Waverider team to 1947 Los Angeles, where infamous mobster Bugsy Siegel has risen from the dead, thanks to Astra’s handiwork.

Astra’s lust for power has zapped the humanity out of her, which creates quite a dilemma for Constantine, who finds himself taking on the role of a gumshoe P.I. when he, Sara and Ray are caught inside the offices of Webb & Moore Private Investigators. Sporting an American accent, Constantine introduces Sara as his secretary. Ray, meanwhile, has “a cop face,” damsel-in-distress Jeanie Hill (guest star Haley Strode) interjects, to which Ray happily responds, “Thank you!”

Jeanie wants to get away from her dangerous beau Bugsy (Young & Hungry‘s Jonathan Sadowski), but is worried that he’ll kill her if she leaves him. Ray gives her money to go into hiding, while the trio stake out Bugsy’s Hollywood hotspot The Blue Iguana. To their surprise, they see Jeanie by Bugsy’s side. Leaving won’t solve her problems, she explains, because Bugsy has compromising photos of powerful men, which feature her as the bait. Sara decides to turn the tables on the mobster and honey trap him. With a slo-mo walk and a come-hither glance, she lures Bugsy to her table and pretends to be a gossip reporter. She’s got some juicy intel in her car, and she suggestively invites him to “take a peek at what’s in my trunk.” When they step into the alley, Bugsy’s enemies show up and shower him with bullets, which do nothing to harm him. He, in turn, pulls out a gun from Hell and reduces them to ash as the police arrive and take Bugsy downtown.

Meanwhile, Ava and Mick have been tasked with keeping an eye on things at The Blue Iguana, which means Mick is just drinking. Ava, however, is not as thrilled to just sit at the bar and do nothing when she used to be the head of a huge government organization. She drowns her sorrows in booze as she exclaims that she’s now a vagabond.

Legends of Tomorrow Ava SingingBack at the police station, Bugsy has all the cops in his pocket and is let go, so Sara asks Ava to create a distraction to lure Bugsy to the club — and her girlfriend is all too happy to be needed. Then Sara calls Bugsy on “the blower” to get over to The Blue Iguana “P.D.Q.” What they find there is quite a sight: First, we see a glam Ava singing Bell Biv DeVoe’s “Poison,” then we see the drunken, karaoke-esque reality. “It’s awful. The worst thing I’ve seen in my life, and I was there when the Hindenburg went down!” one fleeing club-goer declares. Sara is just thrilled to see Ava enjoying herself.

Legends of Tomorrow RecapAs for Jeanie, she demos on Constantine how she’ll kiss Bugsy and steal the Hell gun. In exchange, she wants the blackmail photos, which Constantine has determined are buried at a gravesite. When they find the photos, Jeanie whips out a gun and reveals that, rather than destroying them, she’s keeping the blackmail for herself. Just like with Astra, Constantine can’t convince Jeanie to give up her desire for power, and he also can’t save her life when Bugsy’s crooked cops blow up Jeanie’s car. An angry Constantine takes Bugsy and the gun to Hell, but he can’t bring himself to use the last bullet on Astra. Instead, he says he’s not giving up on her, then shoots Bugsy for what he did to Jeanie.

Elsewhere, in Washington 2044, Behrad takes his “business school professor” Nate to his dad’s birthday dinner, where Nate lays eyes on the new Zari. “It’s you. I saw the video,” he says in awe. But Zari, who is now a Kardashian-esque mogul after becoming famous as Dragon Girl, mistakes him for one of her millions of social media followers. “Thanks for subscribing. It’s the fans that really make all the hard work worth it,” she feigns. When he holds onto her hand a little too long and can’t stop staring, she mutters under her breath, “What a weirdo.”

After dinner, Nate asks Zari if she feels like they met in another life, and she goes along with it to get to the truth about their family’s so-called stolen air totem. Behrad walks in just in time to stop Nate from saying anything. After some time, Zari figures out why her brother’s new friend looks so familiar: He was at Heyworld, and hey, so was Behrad! She just can’t make sense of how they haven’t aged in the 24 years since then. When Zari threatens to tell their parents the truth, Behrad opens a portal, and Zari suddenly finds herself on the Waverider, screaming into her phone for help.

RELATED STORIES

Donna Chambers has managed to survive the first eight installments of American Horror Story: 1984, but she isn’t out of the woods yet. Wednesday’s episode (FX, 10/9c) brings the season to its chilling conclusion, and as actress Angelica Ross tells TVLine, it’s going to be a fight to the finish.

“Her intention has always been to stop the violence,” Ross says of her character, who initially disguised herself as Camp Redwood’s head nurse. “If it wasn’t for Donna, we never would have known that Margaret was really the killer. Some people had to die in the process, but Donna helped bring that to the surface. Now she just needs to see it through to the end. I don’t know what the end will mean for Donna, but I wouldn’t expect her to go out without a fight.”

We already compiled a list of questions we need the finale to answer — from the identity of the lake creature to the secret behind Camp Redwood’s “blood curse” — but we also grilled Horror Story newcomer Ross about her initial experience playing in Ryan Murphy’s sandbox of nightmares. Let’s see what she says:

Angelica Ross PoseTVLINE | From your poignant Pose sendoff to joining American Horror Story, this has been a huge year for you. Have you been able to sit back and soak it all in?
[Laughs] I don’t know. I’m just getting used to being able to respond in the moment to whatever’s going on. A lot of what’s at the base of how I respond and show up to things is my spiritual practice. As a Buddhist, we look at the middle way. Even when I was filming Pose, it was a great experience, but while I was filming this show, the numbers were climbing of trans women that were being murdered. And here I was playing out Candy’s demise on set. So it’s a lot to deal with. What I’ve learned is that you have to take care of yourself in such a way that you can show up as much as you possibly can for every single thing. So I’m trying not to get caught up in the wins or the losses, but just trying to do my best in the moment.

TVLINE | We’d all be better off with that mindset.
It’s what I’ve had to develop. There’s such a responsibility in this moment, both behind and in front of the camera, for visibility and representation. I’m just excited and looking for every opportunity. Sometimes it’s leading with a trans narrative, and sometimes — like on American Horror Story — it’s not. It’s showing that I can play a character who’s just part of the fabric of our society.

TVLINE | It’s rare to see a transgender performer get to play a character whose storyline doesn’t entirely revolve around their trans identity. What has that opportunity meant to you?
It’s meant the world. It’s been such a wild affirmation. I’m a theater kid who grew up doing plays and musical theater, and when I transitioned, I thought I was going to have to give up my dreams. Especially with the way society and the entertainment industry dealt with trans people, not only in how they told our stories, but also in locking us out of the process of telling those stories. It has meant the world to me to have someone like Ryan Murphy — who’s not only so talented, but also recognizes talent — to see me. I feel that him seeing me has helped me become the actor I know that I am. The audience has also been responding to the acting. I think I’ve seen one comment about me being trans. Someone said something off-putting on one of my Instagram posts, and one of the American Horror Story fan accounts basically said, “That won’t be happening here. We’ve got your back.” That gave me a lot of hope that we’re changing the culture in ways people aren’t expecting.

AHS: 1984 FinaleTVLINE | When you were cast and found out that this season was going to be a slasher, what were your first thoughts?
One of my first thoughts was definitely, “Well, there’s me and there’s DeRon [Horton].” So when DeRon went first, I was like, “I made it! I’m still here.” The fact that I made it this long is fun and historic. It’s like when people watch American Idol; they want to see themselves and root for someone that gives them the feeling that they could make it, too. Since Donna has made it this far, maybe the viewers at home are like, “I would have made it too, girl!” To bring that energy to this has been so fun.

TVLINE | Did you have any idea what to expect before you started?
I was told to expect a lot of hard work, and I was not disappointed. There are already so many moving parts, so when you add special effects and blood rigs and scars, it’s a lot of work. I’m so grateful for this process. This show has definitely pushed me to the point where I was like, “I’m breaking down.” It has really stretched me as an actor. I can scream, I can run, I can do muddy fight scenes — all these things I never thought I could do.

TVLINE | And now she’s back at Camp Redwood.
Donna did not want Brooke to go back alone. You could see her kicking herself. Like, she made it out. Why would she go back? Donna’s intentions were clear from the beginning. She understands that you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette.

TVLINE | Can Brooke really trust Donna, though? She hasn’t always been the most honest person.
[Laughs] Oh, who hasn’t lied? Let me tell you something a pastor once told me a long time ago: When I got my driver’s license, I had it say “female” before I had any documentation. It was my truth. It’s how I see myself, and it’s how I believe my creator sees me. Just because other people don’t see it that way, that’s their problem. So Donna has had to manipulate and move around people’s lack of understanding of what her intentions and final thesis and objectives are. I can’t say that I can justify everything she’s done.

TVLINE | Let’s end on a random question. You spent a few years living in Roanoke, Va. Have you seen the Roanoke season of Horror Story?
I have not seen that season, and let me tell you why. Coven is my favorite, I’ve also seen Murder House, Apocalypse and Freak Show. But this whole process has been baby steps for me. I’m a scaredy cat who can’t do horror, so it took me a while just to get past the font and the music in the first two seconds when you hit play. I heard that and I stopped it. I tried again the next week, and I got to where the trees and the house come in. It was that slow for me. I know I definitely have to see it, though, especially since I lived there.

What are your predictions for the AHS: 1984 finale? How will it all end, and who will be left standing? Drop a comment with all of your thoughts below.

Need to catch up? Read our previous How to Get Away With Murder recap here.

There were no witches, werewolves or vampires present in How to Get Away With Murder’s Halloween outing — but an ongoing FBI investigation is scary enough, no?

Thursday’s episode found Annalise seeking a fresh start, while Michaela’s daddy issues worsened. Plus, the latest flash forward introduced a new piece of this season’s “Is Annalise dead?” puzzle (and it involved two characters we haven’t yet seen in the time jump).

Read on for the details of “Family Sucks”:

PAPA, DON’T PREACH | Michaela drops by Annalise’s apartment before her next class, and she’s stunned to find her father there. Michaela is still bitter about how Solomon treated her last week, but he insists that he’d hate to go his whole life without getting to know his daughter. That’s not enough to persuade Michaela, who would have preferred that Solomon were around when she was a kid — especially if he would have saved her from horrible parents and a racist school system.

But Michaela isn’t the only one that wants something from Solomon: As she hinted in last week’s episode, Annalise wants Solomon’s money, as well as his help getting out of Philadelphia and starting a new life elsewhere. In order to entice him, Annalise tries to repair Solomon’s relationship with his daughter, encouraging Michaela to let go of the hate she has for her dad. Solomon appreciates Annalise’s help, and he holds up his end of the bargain by calling a company called VIP Results, informing the woman on the other end of the line that he “might have a new client for you.”

Later, Solomon tells Annalise that the plan is in motion — though he reminds her that getting a fresh start would mean leaving behind everything good in her life, like friends and family. Annalise, ever the cynic, is totally fine with that, even when Solomon warns her that having a lot of money won’t necessarily make her happy. (Also of note? Annalise and Solomon were apparently an item, once upon a time. At one point, Annalise reminds Solomon that “you quit us,” and when Michaela later asks them if they were ever involved romantically, they get shifty-eyed and don’t answer, which obviously means they were. Their relationship isn’t explored any further in this episode, but y’all, I need answers.)

While Annalise anxiously awaits her departure from Philly, she decides to file a restraining order against the Castillos. And that’s where things get hairy. Solomon ends up getting subpoenaed to testify on behalf of the Castillos (?!), and during his testimony, the Castillos’ lawyer reveals that the FBI is investigating Annalise — and Michaela, for that matter.

Annalise, forever an HBIC, ends up making an emotional plea to the judge, revealing that her life will quite literally remain at risk if she doesn’t get this restraining order. Thus, she gets the restraining order. (Yay!) But Solomon is furious to discover that he’s gotten entangled with Annalise’s legal mess, especially one that involves his daughter, and they have a nasty confrontation in the parking deck. (The words “sad, lonely, greedy bastard” are thrown around, if that gives you any idea.)

Later, after successfully procuring that restraining order, Annalise smashes all of her electronics and encourages her students to do the same. She then receives a package at her door that contains fresh passports — her new name is Justine! — as well as a new cell phone. Meanwhile, Solomon visits Michaela at her house and reveals that he’s aware of the FBI investigation concerning her… and Michaela has no desire to accept his help. In fact, she goes on a magnificent rant to Solomon, insisting that she has achieved great things in her life, even without a strong father figure. “Thank you for abandoning me. It made me even greater than I already am,” she tells him, adding, “Please, don’t ever show up in my life again.” And with that, she goes inside and rips up that blank check.

Elsewhere in the hour…

* Connor remains fairly obsessed with the reason Annalise picked him to be in the Keating Five. She insists she doesn’t remember why she included him, but Connor is unconvinced, so he goes to Bonnie for the answer — and it turns out she was the one who chose Connor for the group, not Annalise. Bonnie and Frank were both allowed to select one student in the K5; he chose Laurel, she chose Connor. Though Connor doesn’t buy it at first, Bonnie explains that she was moved by Connor’s application essay, in which he revealed that he’d gotten a gay conversion therapy camp shut down when he was just an adolescent. She shares that she was abused as a child, and she wanted to champion a student who was committed to helping other victims. HTGAWM rarely makes time for anything warm and fuzzy, but this exchange between Connor and Bonnie is just lovely.

HTGAWM Season 6* Asher continues to spend time with his mom and sister, despite his mother’s continued depression. At the end of the hour, though, Asher reaches a breaking point: While saying a prayer at the dinner table, Lydia remarks that Asher should be forgiven for his sins — and Asher angrily reminds her that she should be the one asking for forgiveness, considering how quickly she abandoned Asher after his father died. Lydia continues to evangelize, prompting Asher to tell her that she’s going to hell before leaving his mom and sister behind for good.

That night, Asher heads to Michaela’s place and finally agrees that his family is a group of terrible people, which Michaela had tried to make him realize earlier in the episode. Asher then delivers a sweet monologue to his ex, insisting that she’s his real family, and he’ll never lie to her or abandon her, even if they don’t end up together romantically. Oh, and he’s still in love with her. And always will be. No big deal. In response, Michaela slowly approaches Asher and kisses him, then briefly stops herself. “Are you worried about Gabriel?” Asher asks. “He’s not the one, Michaela. It’s me.” And with that, their makeout session resumes. (In case you’re wondering how Gabriel actually fits into all of this, he and Michaela are once again on the outs, after he blabbed to Annalise that Michaela had reunited with her birth father. But considering Asher and Michaela broke up because of infidelity, I’m having a hard time believing that Asher would so easily let himself become the other man.)

* Speaking of Asher, he’s the focus of this week’s flash forward, and I am nervous. There’s a knock on Bonnie’s door, and she answers it to find Asher standing there, looking nauseated and bewildered and all-around horrified. When he comes inside, he turns to face Bonnie, and we can see the dress shirt he’s wearing under his graduation gown is covered in blood. (Noooo! Leave Asher out of this!)

* After meeting Tegan’s ex-wife last week, Nate seems to be getting much cozier with Cora. They go on a pseudo-date (…to the gym…), then Nate invites Cora back to his place. It all seems very sexy… until Nate leans in for a potential kiss, and Cora reveals that she knows what Nate is doing. She’s aware that Nate is looking for intel on Tegan, and she records a snippet of their conversation in which Nate admits he’s doing just that. Cora then sends that recording to Tegan, who fires Bonnie for being Nate’s spy at Caplan & Gold — even though Bonnie has largely taken Tegan’s side in all of this.

Later, Tegan confronts Nate herself, swearing on the grave of just about every family member that she had nothing to do with Nate Sr.’s death. Nate remains totally skeptical, and Tegan’s annoyed. “Come at me again, and you’ll be seeing your father sooner than you think,” she fires back. (Uh, probably not the best way to ward off suspicion, but you do you, girl.) But when Annalise defends Nate’s actions, insisting that he’s been hardened by the traumatic events of recent years, Tegan has a (reluctant) change of heart. She goes back to Nate’s apartment and presents him with a wrongful death lawsuit that they can file against the prison, the D.A.’s office, and just about anyone else connected to Nate Sr.’s death. Nate isn’t initially swayed and tells Tegan that he doesn’t want money — but she counters that this lawsuit would be the first step in finally avenging his father’s murder.

* Frank, who has been discharged from the hospital and is now on bedrest at Bonnie’s place, gets a visit from Annalise. She’s heartbroken to hear that Frank suspects her as the reason for Laurel’s disappearance — and she reminds him that the night Laurel went missing, she and Frank concocted their own lie in order to hide the truth about Miller’s innocence. Frank suggests that he and Annalise come clean about Miller, and she rejects that idea, knowing full well that Bonnie could become suicidal again if she learns that Miller had nothing to do with Nate Sr.’s death.

In fact, Annalise even takes Frank’s painkillers away, so that he can’t blurt out the Miller secret to anyone while he’s high as a kite. Later, though, Bonnie realizes that Frank is sweaty and restless, and she gets a new prescription filled for him after learning that Annalise swiped his meds. And though Frank does get a little loopy once he’s back on those painkillers, the topic of Miller doesn’t come up; instead, he asks Bonnie why they haven’t made good on their plan to ditch Philly and move to Oregon, which they agreed on seasons ago. A tearful Bonnie says she can’t start a life with Frank just yet, because she’s not quite over Miller. “I’m not saying no,” she assures him. “I just need more time.”

Sometimes good series not only go bad, they do so at the worst of all possible times — as in, right when they’re coming to an end. As a result, instead of leaving us reflecting fondly on a show that we’ve loved and lost, we’re stuck with an unpleasant aftertaste and a nagging question: It wasn’t always this crummy, was it?

The answer, thank the TV gods, is generally no, our favorite programs didn’t always suck. But that doesn’t diminish the “Ugh!” of a lousy series finale. And with so many shows signing off recently — everything from Shadowhunters to The Big Bang Theory called it a day — your friends at TVLine thought that it would be fun to reflect on some swan songs that hit, shall we say, sourer notes.

To that end, we’ve compiled a list of the 15 worst series finales of all time. Among them are even a couple of show-stoppers that were so atrocious, they were tossed out when the hit comedies in question were revived years later.

With 10 queens left in the game, this week’s installment featured the franchise’s first-ever Drag-lympics — and not everyone involved was a good sport about it.

But before the ladies could go for the gold, they had to warm up via this week’s mini challenge, a “gal-isthenics” class led by Ru’s pal Love Connie. The dual win went to A’Keria C. Davenport and Plastique Tiara, the latter of whom really impressed me with her floor work. Most of this season’s contestants have been underestimating Plastique as a mere look queen, so I’m always excited when she steps it up and proves them wrong. (Those back-to-back death drops!) That said, I think we should also give a little credit to Yvie Oddly, who did… well… this:

With their limbs properly loosened, A’Keria and Plastique were named the leaders of competing countries — Tuckpantistan and The People’s Republic of Glamazonia, naturally — and got to select team members for this week’s maxi challenge: the Drag-lympics. Proving she knows exactly how to play this game, A’Keria loaded up her team with heavy hitters like Brooke Lynn Hytes, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, Yvie and Shuga Cain. Meanwhile, Plastique’s team consisted of Ra’Jah O’Hara, Miss Vanjie, Nina West… and poor Scarlet Envy, who wasn’t technically picked by anyone. (This actually became a recurring theme throughout the episode, which I didn’t expect.)

Let’s start with that second group, whose members were instantly aware of how much trouble they were in — or as Vanjie put it, “We are f–ed!” From the minute Scarlet was added to the team, Nina worried about her two left feet, which only added to Scarlet’s feelings of inadequacy. (“It’s a hard place to start from,” she admitted.) As for A’Keria’s team, everyone managed to turn it out, though poor Yvie struggled to put her body through some of the more complicated choreography. Hearing about her journey with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome was absolutely heartbreaking, especially as she looked towards a future where this type of drag might not be an option anymore.

Then came this week’s runway, “All That Glitters,” which included an impressive variety of gold-based looks: A’Keria could have passed as Ru’s body double, Brooke Lynn gave us pure Norma Desmond, Yvie kept it comedic as an old lady with a golden cane and Plastique revealed her personal “mega evolution.” Her team’s victory, combined with her stunning runway look, earned A’Keria this week’s well-deserved win.

And while Vanjie’s basic Playboy Bunny-inspired ensemble nearly landed her in the bottom two, Ru let her off with a warning this time. Instead, Scarlet — who had to stand there and listen as her fellow teammates voted her off the damn runway — battled against Ra’Jah to the tune of Donna Summer’s “Last Dance.” Admitting that she’s no dancer, Scarlet opted to pull out every last trick in her bag, from an unexpected reveal of pants to a well-timed golden glitter bomb. And those synchronized death drops! Honestly, both ladies killed it… but in the end, Scarlet was told to sashay away.

(Need to catch up? Read our previous episode recap here.)

What a difference a year makes.

When How to Get Away With Murder‘s fourth season came to a close last March, Laurel Castillo’s father had been thrown in jail, her mother had gone off the grid, for better or worse, and life at Middleton University seemed to resume some version of normalcy (except for the lingering mystery of Gabriel Maddox, that is).

But during Thursday’s fifth season finale, the Castillo family made a comeback of sorts, reminding all of us — especially Laurel herself — that defeat won’t come so easily. First, let’s briefly break down what happened in the final Season 5 installment:

* Via flashbacks, we learn that Laurel’s brother, Xavier Castillo, had approached Ronald Miller a few months back, claiming that he could help make Miller the actual district attorney instead of just the interim guy — and it would start with the death of Nate Sr. Throughout the episode, we’re initially led to believe that Miller wanted to work with Xavier wholeheartedly, and that he was OK with Nate Sr.’s murder if it meant becoming D.A. Later, though, it’s revealed that Miller secretly tried to get Nate Sr. transferred from the prison on Wednesday night, a full 12 hours earlier than the Thursday-morning transfer that Xavier had requested, in order to avoid Nate Sr. getting killed.

Miller’s efforts, though, were all for naught. Xavier had found out that Miller was trying to play him, and he paid the prison guards to kill Nate Sr. when he was being moved at night. Miller had been heartbroken to see Nate Sr.’s death on the news, and even more devastated to realize that he’d gotten involved with someone very, very dangerous.

* Laurel sees the video footage of her brother meeting with Nate Sr. at the prison, and she’s convinced that her family has been behind all of these unsavory events ever since Wes died. Together, she and Annalise confront Xavier and reveal what they know: that Xavier had Nate Sr. killed, that he’s been working with Gov. Birkhead to destroy Annalise and that he killed Sandrine. (Xavier claims not to know anything about his mother’s whereabouts and insists he didn’t hurt her… but this is also Xavier Castillo we’re talking about, so I don’t exactly trust him.)

HTGAWM Season 5 FinaleAfter Laurel and Annalise leave, Xavier calls Gov. Birkhead and reveals that his sister and Annalise foiled his master plan. “So, Plan B?” he asks the governor, to which she responds, “She’s given us no other choice.” Later, while Annalise and Laurel are walking down a Philadelphia street, Annalise answers a phone call from Tegan — and halfway through the conversation, she realizes that Laurel is no longer standing next to her. In fact, Laurel is nowhere to be found.

At the same time, Frank bursts into Laurel’s house and races up to Christopher’s nursery, only to find that Christopher is missing from his crib. “He’s gone, Annalise. They’re both gone,” Frank tells Annalise, who is left to helplessly scream Laurel’s name in the middle of the street.

* Gov. Birkhead goes on live television to tell the people of Pennsylvania that Emmett Crawford is a person of interest in both Nate Sr.’s death and Miller’s death. Even worse for Emmett? After pouring himself a drink in his office later that night, he falls to the floor, convulsing, having presumably been poisoned. (Or perhaps having a heart attack? He is clutching his chest, after all.) Emmett is still alive the last time we see him, even though he’s gasping for air — but on the other hand, Timothy Hutton did just book a pilot for the fall TV season. Hmm.

After screening Thursday’s finale, TVLine spoke with HTGAWM star Karla Souza, who portrays Laurel, to get her insights on her character’s mysterious disappearance (and what it means for a potential Season 6). Read on for her thoughts:

TVLINE | I was a little surprised to see Laurel’s family return in such a big way this season, given how nicely that storyline seemed to wrap up in Season 4. Were you surprised by that, as well, or was this something you and showrunner Pete Nowalk had previously discussed when Season 5 began?
Ever since my family was first revealed in the show at that dinner party [in Season 1], Pete had deliberately planned for my father, my mother and my brother [to be involved]. I had previously done an audition with someone to play [Castillo family friend] Dominick, and Gerardo [Celasco], who plays my brother, had auditioned with me. He was lovely, and he and I had a lot of chemistry, but I remember Pete saying, “I’m holding off because I think he looks like you too much. I don’t think he should play Dominick, I think he should play your brother later on in the show.” So, I had heard Pete’s idea to have my brother in the background, kind of as the Mini-Me version of my father. And seeing as my father was put in prison, I also had that idea of, “OK, that storyline’s kind of wrapped up, that’s it.”

But when I was talking to Pete creatively, as we have every year, we were talking about the implications of what it means to have a son in all of this. Once Christopher’s involved and witnesses a murder, I would definitely make a decision about that, as a new mom. I couldn’t just keep saying, “Oh, this isn’t safe for my son,” and just not do anything. Something must be done. Laurel sees that however much they try to get out of the danger zone, they just keep coming back, and then after she receives her mom’s scalp, she realizes that her premonitions of how evil her family can be are true. In a way, it adds to the guilt of Laurel feeling that her family has been involved in all of the bad stuff that’s happened to the Keating Five since Wes’ death. That’s why it makes this disappearance interesting. The fans might think that Laurel disappeared of her own accord, or that maybe Laurel was abducted by her family in some way, or killed. Those are two avenues that could very well be plausible because of Laurel’s constant fear of having Christopher in this world.

TVLINE | In this finale, the Keating Five learns that Laurel had the opportunity to take an immunity deal with the FBI, which she chose not to do. Did Laurel ever seriously consider taking the deal and getting out of there?
For sure. I definitely played, at least for me, that it was a possibility. If you had to decide whether to protect your son or protect your friends — as a mom, all bets are off when it’s regarding your child. [Laughs] But however close she comes to making that decision, she also realizes the loyalty she has for them. And because of the guilt she feels at her family being the motor of all the bad things going on, that’s why she decides to hold herself accountable and promise that she will be loyal to them. It’s her way of saying, “No, you guys have been loyal to me, I’ll be loyal to you,” and she has to think of another plan.

HTGAWM Season 5 FinaleTVLINE | Laurel has a big confrontation with her brother in this episode, but he seems to be genuinely surprised by the news that something bad happened to their mother. Does Laurel have any doubts in that moment? Did Xavier perhaps have nothing to do with it?
As we were working that scene out with Gerardo and [episode director] Stephen Cragg, we said that Laurel’s been the No. 1 concealer of all her cards on the show. She’s been able to put on a front for anyone questioning her, she puts on a whole show for Gabriel. And because [Laurel and Xavier] are part of the same family… it’s open as to whether he knows or not. He plays it very well, but I would say let’s not be fooled by a Castillo. [Laughs] That’s all I would say about that.

TVLINE | And at the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, do viewers have reason to be suspicious of Laurel, as well? We never did see Laurel’s last conversation with her mom, and we don’t know for sure that she didn’t hurt Sandrine. Should we take Laurel’s words at face value and believe that she’s simply a victim of her terrible family?
No, I don’t think Laurel is a victim. I definitely think she plays a part in it, and for me, that’s the more interesting part to play. We’ve seen, more and more often — I mean, she hid that [engagement] ring from Michaela for so long [in Season 1]. She’s capable of a lot of things to get her own way. And now, her own way is protecting her son, so she’s capable of hiding and portraying whatever she needs to in order to have that plan work.

TVLINE | The show hasn’t been renewed for Season 6 just yet, but this finale ends on a major cliffhanger. Were there ever any discussions with Pete, or the writers, about giving this episode a tidier ending since the show’s future is uncertain?
I genuinely think… you know, it would be wrong of me to speak for Pete, but for us, as we’re reading the season, we’re seeing how our show still has a strong fanbase. We’ve never doubted that the show would be picked up. Having Viola Davis at the forefront of a show for network TV — I feel like they’re lucky to have her. I don’t think the writers were thinking that this would be our last season, and I never got the sense from Pete that he felt he had to have a Plan B. I do think he has confidence in the show and the writing.
