Hell hath no fury like a first lady scorned!

Last week, Mellie (Bellamy Young) packed up her bags to move across the street after she learned that Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) was visiting Olivia (Kerry Washington) in the hospital. Her departure was kept secret, thanks to underground tunnels, but now she's ready to blow the top off the president's affair.

In this exclusive sneak peek at Thursday night's new "Scandal" episode, Cyrus (Jeff Perry) tries to talk her down -- though calling her childish doesn't seem like the most persuasive argument -- but Mellie isn't budging. "I am the child? I'm not the one stealing the car to make out with my girlfriend," she retorts.

Fitz has 36 hours to apologize and recommit to his marriage, she tells the chief of staff.

"If he doesn't, he will have the pleasure of seeing the first lady of the United States call her husband a whore-loving bastard on national television," she warns.

"You wouldn't!" Cyrus

In the season finale of "The Good Wife," we expected Alicia to make a big decision -- Peter or Will?

But it turns out that the big decision was something else -- Lockhart Gardner or Cary's new firm. And Alicia chose Cary. Florrick, Agos, and Associates is open for business!

After some Election Day ballot shenanigans, Peter wins the race to become governor. Alicia leaves the celebration to meet someone at home. We think it's Will, but when she opens the door, it's Cary. "I'm in," she says.

Choosing the new firm is actually her way of choosing Peter over Will. "She's leaving Lockhart/Gardner because she needs to create distance between herself and Will," creator Robert King told TV Line.

The surprise ending delighted fans and critics.

An immensely fun, game-changing #GoodWife finale set up what could be an epic season this fall. Can't wait. ht.ly/kwBJZ

What's the deal with… Beric's comebacks from the dead? There must be some terrible side effect.

Just when you think you know what's happening on "Game of Thrones," you don't. After a few slow, chess-piece-moving episodes, last week's installment maneuvered everyone into intriguing positions -- Tyrion could manipulate the capital's money and regain power, Sansa would marry Loras, Margaery had the

"Game of Thrones" is a numbers game, from the War of the Five Kings within the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros to the 8,000 Unsullied army soldiers that Daenerys buys (then frees).

Fans have already been treated to more of everything this season, from principle characters and locations to CGI shots of giants and dragons. There's no doubt that Season 3 is shaping up to be bigger, badder, and bloodier than ever.

The sheer scale of HBO's hit drama can be hard to take in, so we've broken out a few fascinating stats from this season:

"Game of Thrones" airs Sundays at 9 PM on HBO.

Just when the humans of "Falling Skies" think the tide has turned in their battle against the alien skitters, they come face to face with the Mega Mechs.

When Season 3 of the TNT sci-fi drama premieres June 9, the 2nd Mass is executing raids to save their fellow humans.

"The 2nd Mass is now tasked with rescuing as many of the harnessed kids as possible, and they've literally been going all over the country doing these rescue missions," executive producer Remi Aubuchon said at WonderCon in March.

But is the lean, mean fighting machine a match for the new, gigantic, hulking robots -- the Mega Mechs -- deployed by the skitters?

In this exclusive sneak peek at the third season, the 2nd Mass -- including Ben Mason (Connor Jessup) and Matt Mason (Maxim Knight) -- deploy a well-planned strike at a mining operation, overcoming a few skitters to release a group of captives. There, Jeanne (Laci J. Mailey)

"The Originals," a backdoor pilot of "The Vampire Diaries," introduced an intriguing New Orleans setting, a charming and dangerous new character, and a pregnancy twist.

Fans and critics gave the series a thumbs-up, and The CW responded by picking it up for the fall.

"The Originals has a lot of promise," TV Line proclaims. Entertainment Weekly loves the new character, Marcel. "Charles Michael Davis totally held his own. He had an energy that filled the screen. I want to see more of him." Liane Bonin Starr of HitFix writes, "This mash-up of new and interesting with oldies-but-goodies sounds like a gumbo worthy of my time."

Just watched last nights Vampire Diaries, I really hope that The Originals gets picked up. I loved it :)

The #VampireDiaries episode last night (which was the backdoor pilot for the spin-off #Originals) was very intriguing and enjoyable.

"The Originals" starts out in Mystic Falls, with Elena

Since the beginning, Huck's been this mysterious figure we always wondered about: Where he came from, who he was, how he got to be this way.

Now, we know. And we wish we didn't, because the story is so, so, so tremendously, awfully, heartbreakingly sad.

But as painful as it is to witness exactly how Huck came to be Huck, we understand him more. And we understand his special relationship with Olivia. They both "live on the dark side of the moon," as she says. As grand and bigger than life and romantic and dramatic as it may seem, that dark side isn't a pleasant place. It's gut-wrenching. It's peace-shattering. It's life-altering. It's tragic. And there's no silver lining, no bright side, no happy ending.

Eyes wide shut

This is going to be a flashback-heavy episode; the first few minutes show how Olivia and Huck first meet -- she's taking the subway and spies a homeless grifter begging for change.

"5 years ago" ?! We heart #Scandal flashbacks. And Olivia's bangs.

Use it or lose it -- and $1 million!

In the game of "Survivor," you have to seize every opportunity that comes your way. Some of the dumbest moves in the show's history involved not playing an idol.

In Malcolm's case, it's not trying harder to find one. He buys a clue during the auction reward, but gets stymied by a watchful Andrea and gives up digging for it.

Meanwhile, Cochran buys an advantage in the immunity challenge and uses it to win (we never thought anyone would utter the words "Cochran" and "challenge master" in the same sentence, but it's happened!). And with numbers on his side, Cochran is able to orchestrate the vote against Malcolm. The "golden god" of "Survivor" has been destroyed; bow before the new pale, ginger-haired deity.

Dollars and sense
