<p>Tonight on AMC is an all new episode of the hit drama &#8220;Mad Men.&#8221;  This episode is titled &#8220;Christmas Waltz&#8221; and will bring some seasonal cheer to the offices of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.  In case you&#8217;ve missed last week&#8217;s episode, you can read our <a href="http://tragicomical.com/2012/05/13/mad-men-recap-season-5-episode-9-dark-shadows-51312/">full recap at this link</a>.</p>
<p>Episode synopsis:</p>
<blockquote><p>Christmas proves rewarding to many at the agency; Harry does a good turn for a friend.</p></blockquote>
<p>What will this Christmas themed episode bring?  We will find out after the show airs tonight!  Stay tuned for our recap!</p>
<p>RECAP:</p>
<p>The show opens with Lane receiving a phone call about his tax situation in England.  Apparently he has to send them some money so that he won&#8217;t go to prison.  He owes the government $8,000 in two days or they&#8217;re going to make an example out of him.  His wife wakes up while he&#8217;s feverishly looking for a pen and he yells at her to go back to bed this minute.</p>
<p>At the office, Lane goes to see Harry about the first quarter projections for the business.  They look pretty good, but Harry tells him that they&#8217;re only projections.  </p>
<p>Lane talks to Waltz about extending their line of credit $50,000.  He tells Walt that the commitments for the business are fine, but no one has been paying their bills on time.  Walt agrees to get that taken care of today before he leaves for Florida by car.</p>
<p>Pete tells Don and Roger that Edwin over at Jaguar is being replaced by Hugh Hibbert and they&#8217;re back in the running.  Don says that it&#8217;s a lot of work and Pete says that he might have to stay there past 5:30.  Don says that he&#8217;d live there if he thought it was more than a pipe dream.  </p>
<p>Harry goes to see Paul and he has become a monk.  Paul and Mother Laskshmi get Harry to stay for a bit through some chanting with an elder monk.  </p>
<p>Back at the office, Lane calls a partner&#8217;s meeting to tell them that they have a surplus of $50,000 &#8212; so that means that they can divvy up the money between all of the employees at the agency.  Pete tells the group that they&#8217;re back in the running for Jaguar, so it&#8217;s time to get some learning on this fine automobile.  Pete is looking for a positive reaction to the news about Jaguar, but he&#8217;s not getting anything.  He asks for Bert&#8217;s opinion and is told that they&#8217;re lemons and they never start.  Pete adjourns the meeting with protests from Lane about the bonuses.  He wants the money now, but the other partners want to sit tight on them.</p>
<p>Roger is drunk in the office and loud, which upsets Joan.  She comes out to tell him to keep it down.  He goes into her office and tells her that he&#8217;s been trying to take care of Kevin, but she keeps sending it back.  She tells him to be careful or he won&#8217;t even be a family friend.  He says that they made a baby together, to which she replies that it&#8217;s now some other lucky girl&#8217;s turn.</p>
<p>Paul really loves Lakshmi deeply, but tells Harry that he wants to make a life with her.  The problem is that she used to be a runaway and won&#8217;t leave if she thinks she doesn&#8217;t have a place to stay.  Harry thinks he wants money and tells him to go eat by himself.  </p>
<p>Don and Megan are watching a play and the guy on stage is talking about how all of the ads were making him sick.  Don is upset that Megan&#8217;s friends were poking fun at advertising.  </p>
<p>Paul is at dinner with Harry and he wants help pitching his idea for the season opener of the next season of &#8220;Star Trek&#8221;, titled &#8220;The Negron Complex&#8221;.  Paul tells him to read it and if he doesn&#8217;t think it&#8217;s good enough for network television, then he doesn&#8217;t have to pass it on to anyone at NBC or even Gene Roddenberry.  </p>
<p>At the office, it&#8217;s dark and Lane is forging Don&#8217;s name on a check.  Later that morning, Harry comes in to see Peggy with Paul&#8217;s &#8220;Star Trek&#8221; script.  He wants a second opinion on it.  Harry really wants to help Paul, even though the script is poorly written.  Peggy tells him that if he really wants to help Paul, he&#8217;ll tell him to write a better script.  Harry says that it was really hard for Paul and Peggy says then he shouldn&#8217;t be doing it.  Harry takes the script back and walks out.</p>
<p>Don is taking a nap in his office, when he gets a visit from Pete.  Pete tells Don that he should take Megan and go to the Jaguar dealership, but Don doesn&#8217;t seem that enthused about the idea.  Pete tells him that if he would&#8217;ve told him last year that he got them a car, Don would&#8217;ve kissed him on the mouth.  Don then says that maybe he and Pete should go as a couple.  Ha!</p>
<p>Lane tells the accountant/lawyer guy that the funds for the check should be available immediately.  The lawyer then asks for his fee and Lane tells him &#8220;after the holidays, good day&#8221; and hangs up on him. </p>
<p>Joan gets served for a lawsuit and then she goes nuts on the receptionist, telling her that having her there is like having no one out there at all.  She tells Joan the process server said he knew Joan and it was a surprise.  Joan throws a model airplane at her desk and yells, &#8220;Surprise, there&#8217;s an airplane here to see you!&#8221;  Don scoops her up and out of the office.  He ends up taking her to the Jaguar dealership and she&#8217;s wearing his coat.  They&#8217;re pretending like they&#8217;re customers, telling the salesman that they got tired of waiting for a cab, so they decided to buy a car.</p>
<p>Don tells the salesman that they want to take it for a spin, but he says that they can only go one at a time.  Don asks how much the car is and the salesman says that it&#8217;s $5,600.  Don writes him a check for $6,000 and tells the guy if they don&#8217;t come back, consider it paid for.  They take the car and park it outside of a bar and have drinks together.</p>
<p>Inside the bar, Joan tells Don that she got served with divorce papers from Greg.  He tells her that she needs to move on and she&#8217;ll find somebody better.  </p>
<p>At the office, Lakshmi goes to visit Harry.  She tells him that while he was chanting, she felt such an intensity all over her body.  She kisses him, but he stops her.  He tells her that he thought she was with Paul.  She says that they both do whatever they want, but they still love each other.  He then says that he&#8217;s married.  She tells him that she&#8217;s burning for him and asks if his wife burns for him.  He kisses her.  She bends over his desk and tells him to take her like that.</p>
<p>At the bar, there are people dancing to the music that Joan played.  Don asks if she wants to dance and she calls him irresistible.  He leaves her there with some &#8220;mad money&#8221; AKA car fare in case it doesn&#8217;t work out with the other guy at the bar.  </p>
<p>Lakshmi tells Harry that they had sex so that he&#8217;ll stay away from Paul so that he can be happy in the light of the Krishna consciousness.  Paul is their best recruiter and they don&#8217;t want Harry getting in the way of that.  She tells Harry to stay away from Paul and that she was using the only thing she had.  He says that she &#8220;already gave it away&#8221; and she hits him.  He asks about the script and she tells him to tell the truth.  </p>
<p>At Don&#8217;s place, Megan is angry that he left work at lunch time and didn&#8217;t call her.  She wants to know where he&#8217;s been all day.  He tells her that he left work, test drove a Jaguar and took Joan for drinks and then drove some more and came home.  She&#8217;s mad that he didn&#8217;t think to call her.  She already had a plate in the oven waiting for him.  He thinks she&#8217;s not angry and this is just how she gets going.  She yells at him to sit down and that he&#8217;s going to eat dinner with her.</p>
<p>At the office, Roger brings flowers back to Joan because the receptionist is afraid to come back there.  Did Don send her flowers?  Hmm?</p>
<p>Harry is meeting with Paul.  He tells Paul that the network is not interested, but he is.  He offers him $500, but only if he promises to leave all of his things and go to Los Angeles.  He wants Paul to follow his dreams.  </p>
<p>Bert tells Lane and Pete that they&#8217;re all good to go with the announcement.  Pete says that Mohawk&#8217;s machinists are going on strike and that they&#8217;re suspending their advertising.  Bert says that the partners will defer their Christmas bonuses so that the other employees can have theirs.  He says it&#8217;s prudent.  Lane announces in technical terms that they&#8217;re all getting their bonuses, but Roger interjects to say that they are all getting their bonuses, but the partners aren&#8217;t.  Pete announces that they&#8217;re getting the chance to pitch Jaguar cars, but no one applauds.  Don tells the employees that they will work through weekends until the Jaguar pitch and when they get it, the world will know that they have arrived.  Don calls the creative team into his office and Lane is left to think about the check that he forged. </p>

<p>This evening HBO&#8217;s new hit series &#8220;Game Of Thrones&#8221; returns with an all new episode entitled &#8220;The Prince Of Winterfell&#8221;. Well it looks like the actual war action is about to begin being that there is not too many epsiodes left of season 2 so be ready to keep your eyes glued to the set.</p>
<p>That snot nose little punk of a King, Joffrey is going to get some of what he has been dishing out as the people of King&#8217;s Landing become increasingly disgusted with his reign over the city. Just what this little pain in the rear needs to put him in his place. Will he be backed down? Probably not seeing as how he doesn&#8217;t have much common sense.</p>
<p>Meanwhile it looks like Robb Stark is going to find himself betrayed by someone. Who is the mystery betrayer? We won&#8217;t know until tonight&#8217;s episode airs. (or of course if you have already read the books you might already know.)</p>
<p>Jorah&#8217;s love for Daenerys will prove to be a problem for him as he continues to attempt to convince her that she needs to leave Qarth and move on if she ever wants to take her rightful place. Will she ever see reason?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, that little pervert Theon will still reign over Winterfell as a self proclaimed prince there. (insert a vomitting noise here). Is it too much to ask to have this jerk overthrown? Maybe not. We have to wait and see.</p>
<p>While all of this is going on believe it or not Tyrion and Vary&#8217;s manage to claim some common ground now between each other. Could this be a match made in heaven?</p>
<p>Join us this evening at 9pm as we live recap the show, so don&#8217;t forget to refresh the page to get all the war strategies as they happen!</p>

She is there to take him home because they fear that his head will be on a plate due to killing Bran and Ricken Stark.</p>
<p>They talk alone and she tells him that if he stays here he will die alone. She tries to talk reason to him and he just won&#8217;t listen. She remembers when he was a baby and she looked at him down in his cribe. She doesn&#8217;t want him to die away from the seas since they are islanders.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Jon Snow is being brought to the Lord Of Bones by Ygrett. He wants to kill him right away but Ygrit talks them out of it. They decide to keep him hostage. He finds the Quorin there. He is the only one left. All the others were killed.</p>
<p>Rob Stark is talking to the nurse he has a crush on thru the woods about his father. She tells him she has heard stories of what a great man Ned Stark was. Rob agrees his father was a great man. She wished she could have met him. Rob wants to go home with his men. He can&#8217;t go home until the Lannister&#8217;s are defeated. They get a horse message that the king&#8217;s slayer, Jamie Lannister escaped in the night.</p>
<p>He goes to his mother Catelyn and she let him go because she wants her children back. Rob is upset at his mother because she did this all behind his back. He wants her guarded all day and night. He has been betrayed by his mother. He sends a bunch of men out to look for him.</p>
<p>Brienne has Jamie Lannister out in the woods and she is currently taking him to King&#8217;s Landing. Jamie taunts her. She puts him and herself into a paddle boat as they head to King&#8217;s Landing.</p>
<p>Tywin is talking to his men about how King&#8217;s Landing may be taken. They discuss Rob Stark&#8217;s movement. Arya is listening in to all this information. Tywin seems a bit weary of Rob. He says they will ride at night fall to get the jump on Rob. He tells Arya that she will be left behind.</p>
<p>Arya goes to see Jaqen for her last request of death. She finds Hotpie and Gendry. While she is looking for Jaqen, she see Tywin and his ment get on their horses and begin to depart.</p>
<p>Jon Snow and Quorin are talking and they start a fake fight. Ygrett laughs as he falls down a snowy slope.</p>
<p>Bronn and Tyrion are talking about how he dresses and that he needs a gold cloak. But Bronn doesn&#8217;t want to wear this get up. Tyrion agrees with his demand. Tyrion is trying to make a plan to take Stannis when he arrives in King&#8217;s Landing. Meanwhile Varys walks in to talk with Tyrion. Varys says extreme measures are warranted. They know that Stannis nows King&#8217;s Landing well and he knows where the walls are weakest. Varys asks what do they have to fight with. Tyrion says &#8220;Pig Shit&#8221;.</p>
<p>Sam and one of the other men are digging in the snow to buid trenches for fortification. They find a stone with the first men marks. Under it they find a cache of dragon glass weapons.</p>
<p>Arya is dragging water back when Jaqen shows up. She asks him to kill Tywin. He doesn&#8217;t want to kill him. He asks her for a different name. So she asks him to kill himself. He asks her to unname her and she agrees if he will help her and her friends to escape. He tells her he agrees and they will walk the gate at midnight.</p>
<p>Cersei meets with Tyrion in his room. She asks about Joffrey fighting. She doesn&#8217;t want him to fight because he was not ready. She knows that Joffrey doesn&#8217;t have the gift of warrior like Jamie does. Tyrion tells her that he needs to go and fight to keep the moral of the men. He must go. Cersei is not happy with Tyrion. She smiles. Now she tells Tyrion that she has his little whore. He asks where did she find him. She tells him to hide his whores more carefully. He tells her that he only rents them. She knows he is lying that he likes Shae very much. She tells him that if Joffrey is hurt she will share his hurt. If he dies she will see to it that she kills her. The whore is brought in but it&#8217;s not Shae. He plays it off and so does she. This way no one knows that Shae is the woman that Tyrion loves. He tells her that he will hurt her for this.</p>
<p>Tyrion runs to find Shae and he tells her she is beautiful. He tells her that they have to be more careful. He tells her that there are people who to hurt him. He tells her that he will kill for her if has to. He tells her that she is his. He makes her promise that she belongs to him. She promises.</p>
<p>Rob is trying to figure out how to fix what Catelyn has done to their position. He wants to hunt down Theon Greyjoy no matter what. The nurse comes in to see Rob in the tent. The other man leaves. She asks how he is. He tells her that he has to arrest his mother, his brothers are hostage and his sisters. She apologizes for being insensitive. He wants to be a good king. He doesn&#8217;t know how to be a king. They discuss each others childhoods. Rob is soo entrigued by her. She tells the story of how her brother drowned when they were kids and she feels it was her fault because she wasn&#8217;t paying enough attention. A man came along with a tatoo of fish on his face to mark him as a slave. He pushed her aside and he saved her brother. She decided that she would not waste her life. He tells her that he doesn&#8217;t have to marry the Fray girl. He grabs her and kisses her. They start undress. They have passionate sex.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s midnight and Arya, Hotpie and Gendry are waiting for the sign from Jaqen. She walks up to the gates. The guards area all dead. They walk through the gates and they leave.</p>
<p>Stannis and Davos are talking on the ship sailing to King&#8217;s Landing. They argue about how Stannis was treated by Robert and Ned. He feels like he was overlooked. He feels he is the rightful king and the tells Davos that he will be his hand to him once he takes the throne.</p>
<p>Joffrey is talking to Varys and Tyrion. Tyrion is trying to talk sense to him about this war with Stannis. Joffrey is too arrogant to realize he is an idiot and doesn&#8217;t know that he will end up dead. Joffrey walks away. Tyrion and Varys are talking and Tyrion tells Varys a story about his life. Varys tells him that Daenerys lives and she has dragons. Tyrion tells him one game at a time.</p>
<p>Daenerys is talking with Jorah and he tells her they must leave immediately. She won&#8217;t leave. She tells him to go then. He tells her that he would die for her. He tells her that if she stays and tries to get her dragons back she will never be able to leave.</p>
<p>Theon tells him men they should bury the boys. The man under him tells him to leave them up for a couple more days. The wildling woman shows up in Winterfell and Maester sees her. He meets her in the cript and she shows him that Bran and Ricken are still alive and they are in hiding for now.</p>
<p>The end.</p>

<p>After last night&#8217;s performance episode of &#8220;American Idol&#8221;, we are left wondering which of the top three are going to the season finale. In case you&#8217;ve missed the show, <a href="http://tragicomical.com/2012/05/16/american-idol-top-3-live-performance-recap-51612/">we&#8217;ve recapped it here</a> in full. We all have our favorites, but who really pulled out the star power to woo their many fans? Who&#8217;s got what it takes to be our next &#8220;American Idol&#8221;?</p>
<p>After last week&#8217;s elimination of <strong>Hollie Cavanagh</strong>, we&#8217;ve got <strong>Phillip Phillips</strong>, <strong>Jessica Sanchez</strong> and <strong>Joshua Ledet</strong> left in the competition. After tonight&#8217;s elimination episode, we will have the two remaining finalists. Who will it be?</p>
<p>Some have said that it&#8217;s a lock between Joshua and Phillip for the finale, but we could be surprised. Tonight, we will be covering all of the details of the show as they air. Be the first to know who our &#8220;American Idol&#8221; finalists our as we recap the show LIVE. Stay tuned for the recap at 8PM EST.</p>
<p>Until our recap, leave your comments as to who you think will survive tonight&#8217;s elimination!</p>
<p><strong>RECAP:</strong></p>
<p>Tonight we begin with video footage of each of the three and their time at home. Which two will make it to the finale? We are going to find out tonight. Let&#8217;s begin the battle! The Beattle&#8217;s song &#8220;Got To Get You Into My Life&#8221;. They sound great all together.</p>
<p>They are all three quiet right now due to the nervousness. They say they would be happy for whoever moves on from this point. They are all three winners.</p>
<p>Joshua Ledet: Jimmy Thoughts</p>
<p>They do a look back at last night&#8217;s performance. Jimmy said it was a good night for him. Not his best, but it was good. He gave him an 8 for his first performance. Imagine was the second performance and Jimmy felt it didn&#8217;t work. Jimmy didn&#8217;t care for it. Not the right song. No More Drama was the last song he performed and Jimmy thought he needed a big moment. He didn&#8217;t get it. Jimmy felt like he needed more melody then this. But he did well.</p>
<p>Lisa Marie Presley sings her new hit &#8221; You Ain&#8217;t Seen Nothing Yet&#8221;.</p>
<p>Jessica Sanchez: Jimmy&#8217;s Thoughts</p>
<p>Her first song by Mariah Carey says that he doesn&#8217;t think this was enough to win the competition. Don&#8217;t Wanna Miss A Thing, Jimmy thought he was looking for more than what she showed off last night. She has to have the most magical moment so far this season. I&#8217;ll Be There by the Jackson Five: Jimmy Choice: He thinks this song choice of his hurt her but she did well enough. She has enough talent to sing on the Grammys.</p>
<p>Adam Lambert will be singing &#8220;Never Close Our Eyes&#8221; tonight.</p>
<p>Phillip Phillips comes to center stage for Jimmy commentary of last night&#8217;s performance.</p>
<p>Beggin was the first song for him and Jimmy feels Phil did a great job and his sound is becoming more and more original. It was very good. Disease was his second song and Jimmy gives it up that he always is willing to take a chance, but he agrees with the judges that this song was not a good choice for him at this stage of the game. His last song Jimmy felt it was the best performance he has ever done and the best hands down from last night. He was knocked out. There was a lot of depth in his singing last night.</p>
<p>All three come to center stage. Here we go.</p>
<p>Dim the lights, 90 million votes</p>
<p>First save is JESSICA SANCHEZ!</p>
<p>The second save goes to PHILLIP PHILLIPS!</p>
<p>Joshua Ledet is going home!! But he is still a winner and he will surely have a career in music.</p>
<p>Joshua sings his rendition of &#8220;This Is A Man&#8217;s World&#8221; Before He heads home!</p>
<p>Next week we will watch Jessica and Phillip go head to head in the American Idol Finale!

<p>&#8220;American Idol&#8221; makes its return tonight on FOX at 8PM EST with an all new performance episode. It&#8217;s getting down to the wire as the top three performers head into toward the season finale. Last week, we saw the <a href="http://tragicomical.com/2012/05/10/american-idol-recap-top-4-elimination-results-51012/">elimination of Hollie Cavanagh</a>, so you know the contestants really have to bring it to stay in the competition.</p>
<p>Tonight&#8217;s theme is &#8220;choice&#8221; and we will see the contestants take on three songs each. One will be their own choice, followed by Judge&#8217;s choice and lastly, Jimmy Iovine&#8217;s choice. Here are the songs that the remaining contestants are singing: &#8220;Imagine&#8221; by John Lennon, &#8220;My All&#8221; by Mariah Carey, &#8220;No More Drama&#8221; by Mary J. Blige, &#8220;We&#8217;ve Got Tonight&#8221; by Bob Seger, &#8220;I Don&#8217;t Want To Miss A Thing&#8221; by Aerosmith, &#8220;Beggin&#8217;&#8221; by Madcon, &#8220;I&#8217;ll Be There&#8221; by The Jackson 5, &#8220;Disease&#8221; by Matchbox 20 and &#8220;I&#8217;d Rather Go Blind&#8221; by Etta James.</p>
<p>We will be covering tonight&#8217;s show from start to finish with our LIVE RECAP. Stay tuned as we spill all of the details of tonight&#8217;s performances as they happen. You&#8217;re not going to want to miss this!</p>
<p><strong>RECAP:</strong></p>
<p>This evenings episode begins with Joshua Ledet will be singing &#8220;I&#8217;d Rather Go Blind&#8221; by Etta James as the judges pick. He is wearing classic black suit coat and pants with a rose in his lapel. As expected he really shows this song justice. Killer end of the performance as well. Nice performance over all. Steven tell him this was another Joshua moment. Dream come true for Joshua. Jennifer says they struggled on a song pick for him since they weren&#8217;t sure to go retro or more modern, but this song fit him like a glove. Randy says he hopes he can bring this R&amp;B back to modern times. He has set the tone for tonight&#8217;s show.</p>
<p>Jessica Sanchez hits the stage next with &#8220;My All&#8221; by Mariah Carey that was picked by the judges. She&#8217;s wearing a long purple gown and her voice is pretty amazing already. She is starting to head higher for the notes. Randy thought it was beautiful. Good song choice. Jennifer knew this would be a challenge for her but she tool it and ran with it. Great job. Steven says when she sings she makes people hang on her every note. He thinks she will be the last one standing here.</p>
<p>Phillip Phillips takes the stage now singing &#8220;Beggin&#8217;&#8221; by Madcon picked by the judges for him. He is on stage with his guitar as usual and he is really showing off his melody on this song. He sounds great! He is throwing his little Phil Phillips touch on it and we love it! He is such an artist all the way. Nice ending as well. Phil ROCKS! The crowd is going wild. Jennifer says he always messes with a song by he can ride it all the way home. It was awesome. Steven says it was beautiful. He hopes that he will write his own songs. Randy  comments that he is always in the zone since the start. Incredible performance.</p>
<p>Now we are heading into round 2 here with the contestants choice.</p>
<p>Joshua Ledet is up next and he talks about his visit home. He sold out their hometown arena. He was soo excited to be home and see his family, friends and fans. They take a look at how his visit went. Looks like he had a big welcome home waiting for him. He had to sign autographs and everything. He even had police escort. He even went to his family church to sing with his father. He takes his niece on the parade ride with him.</p>
<p>Joshua&#8217;s song choice is &#8220;Imagine&#8221; by John Lennon. A different song choice for him but so far he is rocking it. He even manages to put his own spin on it. He is killing it! Very nice performance. He totally pulled this song off. Steven says beautiful moment for him once again. He takes it over the top every time. Jennifer says it was a pull back and control type of song and he did this so well. He brings so much emotion to the songs he sings. Randy asks why he chose this song. He said this song connected with him. He heard it on the radio and he wanted to deliver the message. Randy tells him he should carry this on to his career. If you want to see Joshua in the finale you have to get out their and vote.</p>
<p>Jessica Sanchez travels to her hometown in California and gets a crazy welcome home. She is driving home from Los Angeles and gets a helicopter ride home. Talk about star treatment. She lands in the baseball park where she auditioned for American Idol. She then takes a limo ride. She is invoted to  Chula Vist Theater. She was glad to be home. Her brothers are soo happy to see her. Her whole family gets a limo ride and she also takes a ride in the parade with her brothers. Once again she has police escorts. She even gets her own holiday. She even gets to visit the navy men. Her father is overseas now in the Navy so she even sings for them.</p>
<p>On stage Jessica Sanchez has chosen &#8220;I Don&#8217;t Want To Miss A Thing&#8221; by Aerosmith. She is going to make Steven proud. She really does have a beautiful voice. Very simple but very nice and I think Steven approves if his facial expression mean anything at all. She really shows of her lungs in this one. She definitely put her own spin on it for sure. Great performance. Steven gives her a standing ovation. Steven says she made this song greater. This is a high compliment. Jennifer says really good job. Randy tells her that she has chose some rough ones tonight but she is bold and she has done it. Vote Jessica if she is going to make to the Finale!</p>
<p>Phillip Phillips goes back home to Leesburg Georgia to visit his home. He was ready to go home. He went to his favorite place to eat and they names his favorite dish after him. He gets a warm welcome home and thousands of fans waiting for him. He goes back to the pawn shop to see his dad. There are so many fans waiting for him outside his father&#8217;s shop. His father is so glad to see him home. He goes out to the crowd and goes on a ride with his dad. His mother and his sisters are waiting for him at the house. They can&#8217;t wait to see him. His mother got her wish for mother&#8217;s day. His parade at home was so crazy. He is soo overwhelmed by how many people have showed up. He sings song for his hometown fans.</p>
<p>Phillip Phillips has picked &#8220;Disease&#8221; by Matchbox 20 for tonight&#8217;s performance. Stage set up is very backstage of a small blues club. He sings this on par and as usual he changes this song to work for his style and sound. What can I say we love Phil here at Tragicomical. Excellent performance as expected. The crowd goes wild one again. Jennifer says easy flow performance but it was not the wow they would expect. BOOOO! Steven feels the same way. I disagree. I think he did great. Randy didn&#8217;t like it either. He said it was too much of a subdued moment for him. We don&#8217;t care. We LOVE PHILLIP PHILLIPS!PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE VOTE PHIL!</p>
<p>Final round of the competition tonight and now it&#8217;s Jimmy&#8217;s picks.</p>
<p>Joshua Ledet comes to us first with &#8220;No More Drama&#8221; by Mary J. Blige. Jimmy says this is the perfect pick if Joshua can pull it off. On stage he starts with his normal melody and it sounds good. I have to say I have seen better from Joshua. I would have thought this would have been a good choice for him but it&#8217;s like he didn&#8217;t really connect with the song. I am sure the judges will disagree with me but I have to admit he could have done better. Randy says he doesn&#8217;t matter that he does so well and does it well all the time. I don&#8217;t feel he delivered on this one. Jennifer agrees. He has a perfect marriage of knowing what and when to do things. Steven tells him he thought it was over the top. Not that I don&#8217;t like Joshua but I know he could do much better. Vote Joshua to see him in the Finale!</p>
<p>Jessica Sanchez hits the stage for the third time to night singing Jimmy;s pick &#8220;I&#8217;ll Be There&#8221; by The Jackson 5. He wanted to show that she may be young but she can really keep the older crowd enticed. On stage she shows up in black pants and a red jacket with the shadows of an amusement park behind her. This is a good song choice for her. I am surprised that she hasn&#8217;t taken the chance with her voice on this song like she usual does but she sounds very good. At the end she really picks it up. Beautiful performance. Steven says that she nailed it. Jennifer says this was a good choice from Jimmy because of the reasons he said. In the high parts she really made it sound well. Randy liked it ok. He didn&#8217;t love it either. He says there was never a &#8220;moment&#8221;. I tend to agree. Vote for Jessica if she is to make it to the finale.</p>
<p>Phillip Phillips comes to the stage last for the evening singing Jimmy&#8217;s pick &#8220;We&#8217;ve Got Tonight&#8221; by Bob Seger. He feels it&#8217;s a good pick. Jimmy wanted to address his female fans and male fans alike. On stage he looks fabulous with a black background and he is soo rocking this song so far. He is really bringing in the emotions to this song and he really is addressing his female fans for sure. He is really hitting the high notes better than I would have expected. The back-up singers are making his voice sound good. Perfect ending. This was his moment. Standing ovation from the judges. Randy says, yo, this was the perfect song at the perfect time. Best performance ever on the show. He had his &#8220;moment&#8221;. Jennifer knows one thing that about 20 million girls wish he was singing that song to them. It was beautiful. Steven says that he sang it and let himself go. He nailed it. Over the top!</p>
<p>VOTE PHILLIP PHILLIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Joins us tomorrow as we find out who will be the last elimination before the finale next week.

Howie offers his ring to the magician. As usual Howie is cracking jokes. Aoni is making bad jokes. The guy takes Howie&#8217;s ring and goes behind a curtain and changes clothes. He then begins to strip down and Howie&#8217;s ring is hooked on to his nipple ring. He got all three BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!!! Triple X! He is really a stripper. Everyone in he crowd is booooing. The answer is NO for all three. No Vegas for him.</p>

The judges seem to be amazed by him. Excellent performance. Standing ovation from all three judges. The crowd is going wild. Sharon calls him a gem.

<p>Tonight on ABC after &#8220;Dancing With The Stars&#8221;, the eighth season of &#8220;The Bachelorette&#8221; makes its debut with new star, <strong>Emily Maynard</strong>!  The show airs tonight at 9:30PM EST and we will get to see Emily choose between 25 different men on her quest to find love.  Will she be able to find Mr. Right after her relationship with former &#8220;Bachelor&#8221; star <strong>Brad Womack</strong> went south?</p>
<p>Speaking of the show, Emily revealed, &#8220;I had the best time being The Bachelorette and I can&#8217;t wait to share my experience with you on Monday night!&#8221;</p>
<p>She also said that it wasn&#8217;t all sunshine and roses before taping began for the show&#8217;s eighth season.  She said, &#8220;My biggest fear was that I wouldn&#8217;t be able to see myself with any of the guys.  But after I met all of the men on the first night, I couldn&#8217;t have been more wrong.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added, &#8220;I hope you all have as much fun watching as I did living it.&#8221;</p>
<p>We will be providing our LIVE COVERAGE of the show tonight as the show premieres&#8230;So don&#8217;t miss out on any of the juicy details!</p>
<p>RECAP:</p>
<p>We&#8217;re getting some background information on Emily, her daughter and her former participation on &#8220;The Bachelor&#8221;.  She wants to fall in love and have it work out this time around.  Tonight, she will meet 25 men who want to be with her.   </p>
<p>We get a chance to learn some background on the men who will be trying to win Emily&#8217;s heart.  Emily is talking with Chris about being nervous for tonight&#8217;s show.  She&#8217;s excited at the thought of meeting her future husband.  So far, it&#8217;s been nothing but fluff.</p>
<p>Time to meet the guys!  They are all commenting about how she looks beautiful.  First up, she meets Sean.  Boring!  Next.  Next up is David and he&#8217;s alright.  Doug is coming in next and he&#8217;s a hugger from Seattle.  He&#8217;s a dad and already asked about Ricky.  Cute.  Jackson comes in next and kneels and says something cheesy!  Haha.  What a loser.  Coming up next is Joe and he&#8217;s weird and excited to be there.  </p>
<p>Another limo comes up and Arie pops out first.  He&#8217;s complimentary and a little boring.  Kyle comes in next and calls Emily stunning.  Chris the sales director comes up to Emily next and tells her that he&#8217;s blessed to be there.  His parents have been married for 35 years.  Aaron meets Emily next and he uses a cheesy line about chemistry on her.  Uh.  Alessandro comes up next and he&#8217;s from Brazil.  Interesting.</p>
<p>A new limo comes up with a skateboarder attached to it.  It&#8217;s Jef.  That was a cute entrance.  Lerone meets Emily next and he likes the fact that she&#8217;s a single mother.  Stevie comes up next with a radio and he&#8217;s busting a move.  Too funny.  Charlie comes up and didn&#8217;t want to do a dance like his predecessor.  Tony is up next and he approaches her with a glass slipper, telling her that he&#8217;s Prince Charming.  He believes in fairy tales.  </p>
<p>Up comes another limo and a wobbly guy with a cane comes out.  Crazy.  It&#8217;s Randy dressed up as an old lady.  He&#8217;s trying to be creative.  Nate is up next to meet Emily and he tells her she&#8217;s gorgeous.  She says he&#8217;s cute.</p>
<p>Brent approaches Emily next and tells her she&#8217;s stunning.  He&#8217;s got a name tag, so when they meet again, she can take it off of him.  John &#8220;Wolf&#8221; is up next and he&#8217;s excited to be there.  Carrying an egg to meet Emily is Travis.  He calls it a symbol of Emily and Ricky and he said that he will take care of the egg like he would her and her daughter.  Weird.</p>
<p>Time for another limi and Michael pops out to meet Emily.  He gives her a guitar pick to remember him.  Next up is Jean-Paul.  Alejando is up to meet Emily next and he&#8217;s speaking Spanish to her, telling her how beautiful she is.  Ryan is up next and he says she looks amazing.  He brought a note telling her that she&#8217;s beautiful.  </p>
<p>The guys are all looking outside and there&#8217;s a helicopter approaching.  It&#8217;s Kalon.  Nice.  Way to make an entrance.  He escorts her inside and she&#8217;s impressed with the chopper.  No one likes him &#8212; already.</p>
<p>Chris gives her a bobblehead of both of them.  Jef the skateboard guy has stolen her away.  She seems to like him and said that he made a great first impression.  Doug&#8217;s son Austin has written a note for Emily and it&#8217;s really cute.  </p>
<p>The first impression rose is on the table.  Who&#8217;s going to get it?  The other guys think Kalon is fake and they don&#8217;t like him.  He tells Emily that even though he made a good entrance, he would&#8217;ve walked there to see her if he had to.  One of the other guys called Kalon out for getting interrupted while talking to Emily.  Arie is talking to her now and he&#8217;s worried that she may not like him because he&#8217;s a race car driver.  </p>
<p>Doug is getting the first impression rose.  Nice.  The other guys are just happy that the &#8220;helicopter guy&#8221; didn&#8217;t get it.  Ha.</p>
<p>Time for the rose ceremony!  Here&#8217;s who&#8217;s getting a rose tonight:</p>
<p>Chris, Ryan, Kalon, Arie, Charlie, Jef, Nate, Sean, Joe, Kyle, Aaron, Alejandro, John, Alessandro, Michael, Stevie, Tony and the final rose goes to Travis.</p>

<p>&#8220;Dancing With The Stars&#8221; makes its return tonight on ABC with an all new performance episode!  Tonight we will get to see the remaining four dancers take on two dances each.  The competition is definitely heating up!  In case you&#8217;ve missed last week&#8217;s shocking double elimination of <strong>Roshon Fegan</strong> and <strong>Melissa Gilbert</strong>, then you can <a href="http://tragicomical.com/2012/05/08/dancing-with-the-stars-recap-elimination-results-show-5812/">read our full recap here</a>. </p>
<p>Left standing in the competition are <strong>Donald Driver</strong>, <strong>William Levy</strong>, <strong>Maria Menounos</strong> and <strong>Katherine Jenkins</strong>, so this promises to be an outstanding episode as it gets down to the wire.  We have already spoiled the dances for you last night, so we have a brief mini-recap of who&#8217;s doing what for your perusal.</p>
<p>William and Cheryl are doing the Samba and a Tango tonight, while Katherine and Mark will be doing the Quickstep and a Salsa.  Maria and Derek will be doing the Argentine Tango, followed by the Jive.  Lastly, we will see Donald and Peta doing the Waltz and a Samba.</p>
<p>Stay tuned as we cover all of the LIVE DETAILS of the show, from start to finish.  Who will make it into the finals?  It&#8217;s anyone&#8217;s guess at this point, but we will be here covering all of the events as the show airs at 8PM EST.  Don&#8217;t miss out on the scoop!</p>
<p>RECAP:</p>
<p>Up first, William and Cheryl did their Tango.  The judges all loved it.  They scored 28 points out of 30.</p>
<p>Katherine and Mark are up next, doing their Quickstep.  What a cute dance!  Bruno said it had razzle dazzle and amazing technique.  Carrie Ann said they didn&#8217;t bring their A-game, they brought their A+ game!  It was the best dance they&#8217;ve ever seen on the show.  Len said she can dance.  What a fabulous number.  Scores: 10-9-10 = 29/30</p>
<p>Donald and Peta are up next to do their Waltz.  It&#8217;s a beautiful dance.  Carrie Ann said it was dreamy.  She was brought into the love story, but his feet didn&#8217;t quite finish the step.  She loves the emotion.  Len said it took him back to a different era and it was absolutely charming.  Bruno said it&#8217;s harder to impress with a Waltz instead of a Tango and he did just that.  He extended his lines better.  Scores: 9-9-10 = 28/30</p>
<p>Maria and Derek are going last for the first round, doing their Argentine Tango.  This dance is divine and the choreography is spectacular.  Len said he was caught up in the whole thing.  It was a silent fabulous.  Bruno said it was enticing and titillating.  Carrie Ann said the journey and transformation that she&#8217;s been on is proven by this beautiful dance.  Scores: 10-10-10 = 30/30</p>
<p>Kicking off round two are William and Cheryl doing their Samba.  Bruno said he&#8217;s gonna die with &#8220;bum envy&#8221;.  Carrie Ann said he lived up to every expectation.  His bounce was more like a thrust and it was really amazing.  Len said he has never looked at a man&#8217;s bum for so long in his life.  The rhythm he pulled out was just fantastic.  Scores: 10-10-10 = 30/30</p>
<p>Katherine and Mark are up next, doing the Salsa.  This is an interesting dance, for sure.  Carrie Ann said that it was fantastic.  She let loose and she&#8217;s pushing her boundaries and she&#8217;s a true winner.  Len said she came out and gave it one-hundred percent.  Bruno said don&#8217;t worry about what happened and not to beat herself up.  She felt her back go out at the end.  Scores: 9-9-9 = 27/30</p>
<p>Taking the stage next are Donald and Peta doing the Samba.  Not too shabby.  He&#8217;s got personality in his dance.  He didn&#8217;t complete his lines and didn&#8217;t hold his head to the left enough.  Len said it was a little bit careful, but he liked it.  Bruno said he took a risk and he won.  He did it his way and it worked beautifully.  Carrie Ann said that it was &#8220;A+ game&#8221;.  Scores: 10-9-10 = 29/30</p>
<p>Maria and Derek are dancing the Jive to close out the show.  This is super cute.  She has really improved this season and it totally shows.  Bruno said he really liked the quirky and unexpected details.  It all worked beautifully.  Carrie Ann said that was another stunner and she is a winner tonight.  Len said he liked the footwork and it wasn&#8217;t a traditional Jive, but it felt great with the music.  He liked it!  Scores: 10-9-10 = 29/30</p>

<p>Tonight at 10PM EST on AMC is an all new episode of the fifth season of &#8220;Mad Men&#8221; titled &#8220;Dark Shadows&#8221;.  In case you&#8217;ve missed last week&#8217;s episode, titled, &#8220;Lady Lazarus&#8221;, you can <a href="http://tragicomical.com/2012/05/06/mad-men-recap-lady-lazarus-5612/">read our full recap here</a>.  </p>
<p>Tonight&#8217;s episode centers around Don and Sally Draper, along with Roger Sterling.  From this episode, we learn: &#8220;Don becomes competitive and Roger seeks new business. Sally faces a challenge.&#8221;  Don hasn&#8217;t been all that competitive this season, so this should prove interesting.  Also with Roger seeking out new business, I wonder if he&#8217;ll turn that over to Pete or handle that himself?  We&#8217;re also curious what type of challenge Sally faces in this &#8220;dirty&#8221; city?  I hope it has something to do with her relationship with Glenn. </p>

<p>The show opens with Betty measuring out food and eating grapefruit because she&#8217;s obviously trying to watch her weight.  Don is in the elevator with Roger, Bert and Pete.  Don is with Joan looking over advertisements from Michael Ginsberg.</p>
<p>Roger is on the phone when he gets interrupted by Bert.  Bert tells him to call Max Rosenberg for some Jewish wine.  Bert tells Roger that the account requires his finesse.  </p>
<p>Megan is talking to Sally and she&#8217;s telling her father that she needs colored pencils.  He leaves for work and Megan shows Sally how to make herself cry.  </p>
<p>Betty and Henry are double-parked outside and he&#8217;s waiting for her to go and get the kids.  She&#8217;s still self-conscious about her weight.  Betty rings the doorbell and tells Sally to get the other two.  She comes into the apartment and looks around.  Is this the life she could&#8217;ve had if she would&#8217;ve stayed with Don?  She sees Megan dressing.  Is she jealous that Megan is so thin?  Megan comes out and sees Betty standing there.  She tells her that she&#8217;s seen enough of the place.  Sally comes out with the other two and they leave.</p>
<p>Don is doing some dictation about a product back in his office.  He&#8217;s talking about snowballs being &#8220;sinfully delicious.&#8221;  Betty comes into her house and squeezes some Reddi-Whip into her mouth.  Right after she washes her mouth out.</p>
<p>At the office, Peggy is pitching SnowBall to the guys in a New Yorker-styled cartoon.  Michael has his own pitch, and the guys like it.  Don has his own ideas for the pitch, which surprises Michael.  </p>
<p>Betty is at a Weight Watchers meeting and all of the ladies are getting weighed in.  The teacher asks Betty how her week was.  Betty said she had a bad week out there.  She tells the group that she had a very trying experience and felt some things that she wishes she hadn&#8217;t.  She lost a half a pound and feels she should pat herself on the back.</p>
<p>Megan is practicing her lines with another woman.  Her friend is apparently trying out for a role on a crappy soap opera.  Her friend is upset that she has to work as an actress for a living.</p>
<p>Michael goes to see Roger.  Roger wants him to work on an account for him.  He wants him to work on Monarch Wines.  According to Roger, they make wine for Jews and now they want to make wine for the rest of them.  Michael isn&#8217;t comfortable keeping a secret from Don.  Roger tells him that he basically hates Pete and wants him to stay away from the account.  At Betty&#8217;s, Henry is cooking himself a steak because he can&#8217;t eat fish five nights a week.  </p>
<p>Roger calls Jane to ask her to have dinner with him with Monarch.  She tells him to take Joanie.  She tells him in return that she wants a new apartment.  She doesn&#8217;t want her landlady to be his mother.  </p>
<p>Beth goes to see Pete at his office and he tells her that she can&#8217;t be there.  She unbuttons her jacket and isn&#8217;t wearing anything underneath.  He&#8217;s daydreaming!  Ha.  Pete is pathetic.</p>
<p>At Betty&#8217;s, Sally working on her family tree project for school.  She&#8217;s asking if Megan and Henry get branches on the tree.  In the midst of all of the kids&#8217; work projects, Betty finds a note from Don to Megan.  Betty tells Sally not to forget her father&#8217;s first wife, Anna.  She wonders why Megan didn&#8217;t tell her about Anna.</p>
<p>Don is showing the creative team both ideas for the Snow Ball account.  They agree to take Michael&#8217;s pitch to lead with, but use Don&#8217;s if needed.  </p>
<p>At Don&#8217;s house, he&#8217;s saying goodbye to Sally and leaving for work.  Sally calls Megan a &#8220;phony&#8221; and asks who Anna is.  Sally tells her that everybody knows.  Sally asks Megan if she&#8217;s going to make herself cry.  </p>
<p>Back at the Weight Watchers class, the ladies are getting weighed again.  Betty hasn&#8217;t lost anything, but is maintaining her weight.  </p>
<p>Megan tells Don that Betty told Sally about Anna.  Don is livid about Betty telling Sally that.  Megan tells him if he calls her, then she has poisoned them from fifty miles away.  </p>
<p>At the office, Michael tells Peggy about the account that Roger has him working on.  </p>
<p>At Don&#8217;s, he gets a call from Pete.  He&#8217;s telling Don about the article that came out that doesn&#8217;t give them a mention.  Don&#8217;s mad that Pete woke him up and threw his failures in his face.  Don tells Sally to get in there.  He wants to know if Sally has something to ask him.  Sally tells him that she&#8217;s not a little girl.  Don tells her that Anna was a friend and he would&#8217;ve told her all about Anna, but she died.  Sally remembers going to her house in California.</p>
<p>Betty calls in Sally to tell her that she&#8217;s proud of her for getting an A on her family tree project.  Sally is being manipulative about Anna.  </p>
<p>Roger and Jane are having dinner with the people at Monarch.  They want to get the drink in the hands of different kinds of people.  He has an idea that makes it look like whoever is riding a bus has already bought the wine.  Is their son coming on to Jane?  Is that making Roger a little hot under the collar?</p>
<p>Back in the cab ride home, Roger is asking Jane if she&#8217;s going to call Bernie.  He tells her that if something goes on, she should at least still act like she&#8217;s married.  He wants to see the new apartment that she got.  Inside the apartment, he tells her that he&#8217;s missed her.  He kisses her and they begin to undress the other.  She stops him, but in a few minutes, they go on.</p>
<p>On the train ride home, Howard is complaining about being trapped in the house over the holiday with his family.  Michael is upset that Don used his own idea instead of presenting his idea to Snow Ball.  He tells Don that he feels sorry for him and Don says that he doesn&#8217;t think him at all.</p>
<p>At Jane&#8217;s place, she tells him that he ruined the place just like the last one.  He is sorry.  </p>
<p>At the Draper&#8217;s house, she&#8217;s preparing Thanksgiving dinner and tells Don not to open up the window due to a smog alert.  The air is toxic, she says.</p>
<p>At the Francis residence, they are all talking about what they&#8217;re thankful for at dinner.  Betty is eating so little, but she&#8217;s obviously treasuring it.</p>

<p><strong>RECAP:</strong></p>
<p>This evening we begin with Elena in bed and the alarm goes off. She gets up to Pink &#8220;Rockstar&#8221;. This is a flashback to before Elena&#8217;s parents passed away. She wakes up for real in the hospital to the sounds of beeps. Jeremy is talking to the doctor Merideth about her condition. Jeremy calls Stefan and Damon and tells them about Elena. They are worried that someone will attempt to kill her because she is linked to Alaric.</p>
<p>Alaric shows up in Dr. Merideth&#8217;s office and he dumps her vampire blood and he tells her that she will have her licensed revoked and the Mayor and Sheriff have been relieved of their duties.</p>
<p>Alaric goes back to Elena&#8217;s room to take her and she is missing.</p>
<p>Next we see Elena being brought home by Caroline, Matt and Jeremy. Caroline stays with her to make sure she is ok. Elena is sitting on the couch looking at photos from the old days. She thinks back to when she and Bonnie were cheerleading and she was dating Matt. Elena tells Matt she can&#8217;t do to the bon fire because her Aunt Jenna is in town. This is the point where she is not into Matt anymore.</p>
<p>She wakes up to Matt watching her. He asks what she was dreaming about. She apologizes about stringing him along. Now she is making the same mistake with Stefan and Damon. She knows she has to let one of them go. Stefan walks in to see her.</p>
<p>Jeremy is at the Grill when Alaric walks in and tells Jeremy they need to talk.</p>
<p>Back at the Gilbert house Elena is mad because she doesn&#8217;t want to be babied. She walks out and they find Elijah there at the front door.</p>
<p>Alaric asks Jeremy where they are keeping Klaus&#8217; body. He is not dead yet because if they kill him they all go. Alaric is trying to kill them all. Jeremy is not being coporating. Alaric tells him he can do this for Elena and let her live a normal human life. He wants Jeremy to be on the right side of this.</p>
<p>Elijah tells Stefan that he will get the dagger and Klaus and they will run from Alaric. It will keep Alaric out of her life. He asks Elena whether she will trust him or not. Damon says no way. Elijah says that Rebekah and Cole will not do anyone any harm. Damon still says no. Elena asks why he wants Klaus&#8217; body. He tells her that it&#8217;s his brother. She says they have a deal.</p>
<p>Caroline and Tyler come home to the Mayor and the Sheriff and they explain that Alaric has told the town counsil about what Tyler and Caroline are. They tell them both that they must get out of town now. They can&#8217;t stay here.</p>
<p>Jeremy and Matt are talking about Alaric&#8217;s offer. Matt tells Jeremy where Klaus is. Jeremy calls Alaric and tells him the location of Klaus so he can keep his sister safe. But it&#8217;s a hoax. Just a trail to get Alaric out of town.</p>
<p>Caroline and Tyler are talking about leaving town. Tyler tells her they really need to go. He wants to protect Caroline because he loves her. She tells him she will run with him but she wants to help her friends they can leave that night. They have to travel light since they will be on the move constantly.</p>
<p>Damon and Bonnie meet up and they are going to get Klaus&#8217; body out. They open the coffin and all of a sudden Klaus&#8217; eyes open. Bonnie wants to appreicate the site of him like this. She tells him he should burn in hell but if he does her friends and her mother will die if he does.</p>
<p>Meanwhile Elena and Stefan are talking about the plan and going over things. Elena is upset because she is afraid someone will not make it back home. Stefan tells her he will do everything he can to make sure everyone makes it back. Elena was going to tell him something and she changed her mind. He walks up and kisses her passionately. He tells her just in case there is no later.</p>
<p>Bonnie left and Damon is there waiting on Rebekah to pick up the body. Damon is pissed about Stefan letting Elena make the decision. Rebekah shows up, or maybe not, it&#8217;s Alaric surprise! Alaric has to search every storage locker to find him and he twists Damon&#8217;s neck and throws him to the floor.</p>
<p>Elena is at home with Matt and he brings tea in for the two of them. Matt asks if her choice is Stefan. Elena tells Matt about how Stefan saved her when her parents died. She says being with Stefan made her figure out that she was glad to be alive. What&#8217;s the problem. Damon! She says when she is with him he consumes her. She feels bad about stringing them along but she can&#8217;t take losing anyone anymore. She wishes her mom was here to talk to about all this. Matt just sits there staring in space.</p>
<p>Flashback: Elena calls home to have them pick her up at the bon fire and she got in a fight with Matt and she wants to go home. She talks to her mom about setting Matt free.</p>
<p>Elena wakes up again and Matt has her in his truck. He is taking her out of town. He wants to keep her safe.</p>
<p>Alaric is still checking every locker when Rebekah walks in. She is looking for Damon. Alaric has the ultimate dagger to kill the originals. She calls for Damon and hears nothing. Alaric is ready to pounce. Rebekah gets grabbed by Damon. He tells her quietly what&#8217;s going on. Alaric finds the locker but Damon already go the coffin out. They are trying to escape when Alaric finds them. He stabs Klaus with the dagger and he starts on fire. Damon send Rebekah to run and he tries to attack Alaric.</p>
<p>Damon is calling Stefan and he tells him about Klaus and tells him that he doesn&#8217;t feel anything. Stefan wants him to come back to Mystica Falls to say good-bye to Elena. Jeremy tells Stefan about what him and Matt did. He tells him it&#8217;s all ok and Klaus was lying.</p>
<p>Jeremy calls Matt. Elena wants to go back to say her good-byes. He tells her that Damon is not there he is 100 miles out of town. She has a choice to make to get to them in time. Elena calls Damon and asks if there is any symptoms. Damon asks where she is and she tells him that Matt is taking her home to Stefan and her friends and brother. Damon asks her &#8221;Who would get the good-bye&#8221;. She tells him that she loves Stefan. She explains her feelings for Stefan. She can never unfall for him. It&#8217;s always going to be Stefan. Elena can only think about right now. She cares about him and she needs to let him go. He hangs up to her to see Alaric standing there.</p>
<p>Alaric punches out Damon.</p>
<p>Caroline goes to Tyler and she is crying because she tells him about Klaus dying and being dead. She is afraid that Tyler is going to die. He tells her she will be fine. He tells her to tell his mother that he left town like he was supposed to. She will go on. Tyler starts to cough. He asks if she feels anything. She doesn&#8217;t. He is dying. Caroline refuses to leave. He starts to turn. And she has to run to keep him from biting her.</p>
<p>Elena and Matt are heading home when Elena gets the call from Caroline about Tyler. Matt and Elena are emotionally upset. Matt tells her this is not how it was supposed to be.</p>
<p>Rebekah comes to Elijah in tears and tells him Klaus is gone. Eijah tells her about Tyler.</p>
<p>Bonnie goes to Tyler and he says she did the spell brilliantly now that Klaus has taken over his body. He is alive that&#8217;s why Stefan and Damon and the rest are alive.</p>
<p>Rebekah tells Stefan that they need to get rid of Alaric. Stefan knows what she is going to do. She is going to kill Elena. She steps in front of Matt&#8217;s truck and they go over the bridge into the water. Elena flashes back to her parents death in the car.</p>
<p>Alaric and Damon are fighting and Damon tells him that they were friends for a while. Alaric says nope he needs to break him. Another falshback. Damon somehow met Elena before the accident of her parents and he introduces himself to her thinking she was Catherine. She talks to him about her love life with Matt. Damon tells her that she wants a love that consumes her with passion, danger and love beyond belief. Her parents show up. He compells her to forget their meeting. Alaric goes to stab Damon and Damon starts to fight back.</p>
<p>Matt and Elena are sitting at the bottom of the river and Elena wakes up and tries to get Matt awake to get him out. She can&#8217;t get the door open at all. She flashes back to her parents death. Stedan comes to dave the day once again. She makes him get Matt out first. She sits there while he takes him to the surface. She starts to lose air and float. Her eyes close.</p>
<p>Damon gets the better of Alaric  he thinks. He realizes that something happened to Elena. Alaric goes to Jeremy to say good-bye. He tells him he will always be here to look after him. Jeremy realizes that he is a ghost. He then realizes that Elena is gone too.</p>
<p>Stefan sits abover her boy with tears in his eyes. The good doctor helped her. She really had a brain hemorage. So now Damon knows she has been turned into a vampire.</p>

<p>&#8220;American Idol&#8221; is back tonight with an all new elimination episode of the show.  On last night&#8217;s performance episode of the show, we saw the top four contestants take on two songs.  One of which was a song from an artist or band from California, while the other was an inspirational song with the contestants wished they&#8217;d written.  In case you&#8217;ve missed the performances, we&#8217;ve <a href="http://tragicomical.com/2012/05/09/american-idol-recap-top-4-performances-5912/">recapped the show live here</a>.</p>
<p>Tonight, four will become three as the competition is getting down to the wire.  Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet seemed to really wow the judges last night, so we&#8217;re going to guess that they&#8217;re safe.  Phillip Phillips (our favorite) impressed us with both of his covers, so that leaves Hollie Cavanagh.  We&#8217;re guessing that after all of the dust settles, we will learn that her time on the show has come to an end.</p>
<p>We say that Hollie is in danger, primarily because she doesn&#8217;t even seem to be in the same league as the other singers.  Stay tuned, however, as we could be faced with a shocking elimination tonight.  </p>
<p>Watch this space &#8212; we will be LIVE-BLOGGING the show tonight at 8PM EST.  In the meantime, tell us who you think is going home tonight!</p>
<p>RECAP:</p>
<p>The Hometown Heroes episode slated for next week is on the line.  David Cook and Jennifer Lopez will be performing tonight!  The top four are taking on The Mamas and the Papas&#8217; song &#8220;California Dreamin&#8217;&#8221;.  Seems appropriate, no?</p>
<p>Phillip is taking center stage to learn whether or not he&#8217;s going to be coming back next week.  Phillip is headed back to the couches to learn his fate later.  WTF?</p>
<p>Hollie is coming on the stage to find out if she&#8217;s going through to next week or if she&#8217;s in jeopardy.  After Jimmy critiqued her performances, Ryan sent her back to the couches.  David Cook is performing.  WGWG.  That is all.  </p>
<p>Joshua is taking the stage for his critique from Jimmy.  Blah, he&#8217;s being sent back, as well.  Jessica is now talking to Ryan about last night&#8217;s performances.  Back to the couch with her.  </p>
<p>Jennifer Lopez took to the stage to promote her tour with Enrique Iglesias.  Joined by her boyfriend, Casper Smart, she performed her new song, &#8220;Dance Again&#8221;.  </p>
<p>Heading back to the couch for next week&#8217;s episode is Jessica Sanchez!  Joshua Ledet is safe, as well!</p>
<p>Getting eliminated on tonight&#8217;s show is Hollie Cavanagh!  Phillip is safe!</p>
<p>What do you think of tonight&#8217;s results?  Did America make the right decision?

<p><strong>RECAP: </strong></p>
<p>This evenings show begins with a look back at Phillip Phillips, our person favorite, and how he has managed to get all the way to the top 4!</p>
<p>CCR&#8217;s &#8220;Have You Ever Seen The Rain&#8221; will be sung tonight by our man Phillip. This song is just what he should be singing. He is up there for this song almost naked, just kidding he is without his guitar so I am sure he feels naked. He sounds great! Awesome performance as usual! Steven tells him it&#8217;s awesome. Jennifer loved his change in vocal ability. Randy says it started off a little rough but once he started to smile he fell right in on the money! VOTE FOR PHILLIP IF YOU LOVE HIM LIKE WE DO!</p>
<p>Hollie Cavanagh is taking the stage with Journey&#8217;s &#8220;Faithfully&#8221;. This is an interesting ballad for Hollie but she seems to be killing it!! She souds very good. She hits those high notes and knocks them straight out of the park! Randy tells her she is peaking at the right time. She came back and she is doing it. Hollie wants the gold! Jennifer says she always believed in her and knew she could do it. Jennifer is a little teary-eyed. Steven says now that she has grown up a little more and her creativity has bloomed. She did over the top! Vote for Hollie to keep her in the top 3!</p>
<p>&#8220;You Raise Me Up&#8221;  from Josh Groban is the Joshua Ledet&#8217;s pick tonight. The stage low lit in blue. Another very slow ballad but Joshua&#8217;s killer voice hits the notes as the song makes an emotional connection to him. Good performance. Jennifer says a great performance with all the drama! Steven says he is really glad that he is here. He sang so well today. Courage is fear and Josh has it. Randy believes that he validates what they always say that if your a good artist you can take on a any song and make it your own. America you have to vote to save Josh.</p>
<p>Jessica Sanchez takes on &#8220;Steal Away&#8221; by Etta James this evening. Very big band feel for Jessica this time up. As she sits altop the piano she belts her best. Nice performance. Jessica is proud of her growl cause she does it so well. She feels Jessica is one of the best out there. Steven loved it. He tells her that she nailed that and showed off a new side of her. Randy loved the vibe of a 16 year old to be able to do that song. She can sing the phone book. Vote Jessica to bring her back to the top three.</p>
<p>Phillip and Joshua are up for another duet and they have chose &#8220;This Love&#8221; by Maroon 5. Joshua starts off first and Phil chimes in. They both sound fantastic. Phillip stands up to sing his part and the girls go crazy down in front. They soud awesome together. Nice touch with the dueling pianos. Excellent performance by both of them. Steven says it was the best and perfect. Jennifer says they are both so different but this was the perfect song for there two sounds. It was a treat! Randy says &#8220;Yo, listen this is a great song and they made it their own.  They had fun with it and it sounded fantastic.</p>
<p>The next duet up is the ladies, Hollie and Jessica and they are going to sing &#8220;Eternal Flame&#8221; by The Bangles. They are on stage swinging on large fabric hung from the ceiling. They do justice to the song and make it their own a little too. Randy didn&#8217;t like it because they both of them are power singers and it just wasn&#8217;t there. Steven thought it was still good and so did Jennifer.</p>
<p>We get a tour of the mansion that the top four are staying in. Great Place!</p>
<p>The top four are singing  &#8220;I&#8217;ve Been Waiting (For A Girl Like You)&#8221; by Foreigner. It&#8217;s ok but I have to admit i have heard better from these four.</p>
<p>Round 2 Starts:</p>
<p>Phil Phillips is up next and he will be singing &#8220;Volcano&#8221; by Damien Rice. Jimmy feels he found the best song for Phillips voice. On stage there is a much different feel for Phillip. A dark stage and a ballad that shows off his vocals like no other song has. He sounds perfect! In the words of Julianne Hough&#8217;s tweet :&#8221;And yet again @PPhillipsAI11 does it again! THIS ladies and gentlemen is why I rest my case!! Yuuuuuuuumy!!!! He has soo done it again! Steven agrees with Jimmy. He has never heard him sing like that. The kind of song you can listen to over and over. Jennifer says very few people could have pulled this kind of song off in a competition. One of the most beautiful moments in her two years of doing AI. Randy says this is what it&#8217;s all about. This was amazing. This was one of his best performances of the whole season! VOTE FOR PHILLIP PHILLIPS!!!!!! WE LOVE THIS GUY!</p>
<p>Hollie Cavanagh sings &#8220;I Can&#8217;t Make You Love Me&#8221; by Bonnie Raitt. Jimmy is nervous she will over sing this so she needs to be careful with this one. She has to magnificent. She seems to be pulling it off like Jimmy told her too. Steven tell her Jimmy is right about how the song should feel and he feels it fell a little short. Jennifer feels the same way. She is just too young to connect on this one. It just didn&#8217;t happen for her. Randy says it was really the song. This song is not a good one for a moment that is needed in a competition. Wrong song choice. If you wanna see Hollie back again you have to vote!</p>
<p>Joshua Ledet sings &#8220;It&#8217;s A Man&#8217;s Man&#8217;s Man&#8217;s World&#8221; by James Brown. Jimmy says he sings the crap out of this song. Nice stage production to start. This is the perfect song for Josh to sing at this point of the competition. He is dressed in an all balck suit and he looks great. He is killing this song big time!! Total connection! Connect and Hit! The judges are impressed. Great Performance. Standing ovation from the judges. The crowd goes wild. Steven says that was the best on this show ever! Never heard anything like that in his life. Jennifer thought he had done it all already but Josh isn&#8217;t done yet. Randy says he delivered tonight! No doubt! He connected to this song amazingly! I don&#8217;t think I have to sat vote for JOSH!</p>
<p>Jessica Sanchez will bring &#8220;And I&#8217;m Telling You I&#8217;m Not Going&#8221; by Jennifer Holliday tonight. Jimmy feels she has come back and she is singing well. On stage she is under spot light with a black background and steamy stagefloor. She is totally killing this song. Outstanding Performance. Another standing ovation from the judges. Steven stays winning performance. She put herself in the song. Jennifer says it&#8217;s a race to the finish now. She let out so much and she is so emotional after the song. A real moment. Randy says that Phillip, Josh and Jessica are in it to win it. She slayed that song. Great performance. Vote for Jessica to push into the finals!</p>
<p>Join us tomorrow as we watch the eliminations tomorrow and post the details and the who is going home!</p>

<p>This evening &#8220;The Voice&#8221; is back on for the second time this week and this is the final show of this season. Last night we saw the final four contestants perform for the last time this season and they were all unbelievable. They were all leaving their hearts on the stage as they showed off their talent like no other week!</p>
<p>Tonight is it and they are crowning the champion so we will find out who walks away with a recording contract with Universal Republic and $100,000 prize. This time the contestants fate is in the hands of America so we will see who America thought did the best last night.</p>
<p>Although we won&#8217;t be watching the contestants perform tonight we will be watching performances from Justin Bieber, Hall and Oats, Flo Rida and Lady Antebellum so for two hours we will have a great show to keep us busy until the reveal of the new champion.</p>
<p>Any Ideas as to who you think will win??? So far it looks like Juliet Simms happens to be a favorite so she could take the gold tonight. Share your thoughts and who you think is going to win in the comments!</p>
<p>Join us tonight as live recap the show and provide you with all the most recent details as they happen! Remember to refresh the page often.</p>
<p><strong>RECAP:</strong></p>
<p>This evenings show brings great triumph but also some sadness as three contestants will go home without the grand prize. Good thing there is going to be so much entertainment tonight to soften the blow, right?

<p>Juliet Simms final performance is with Erin Willett, Raelynn, and Jamar Rogers and they are singing &#8220;With A Little Help From My Friends&#8221; by Beatles. On stage the pruduction is simple but fun and emotional for all four of these contestants, past and one present.</p>

<p>&#8220;Castle&#8221; returns tonight at 10PM EST on ABC with its season finale episode titled, &#8220;Always&#8221;.  This is the most anticipated episode for us ever.  Tonight we will finally get to see if Kate and Rick will be together.  It&#8217;s a long time coming, isn&#8217;t it Caskett fans?  Last week, they inched closer together in &#8220;Undead Again&#8221;.  In case you&#8217;ve missed that episode, you can read our <a href="http://tragicomical.com/2012/04/30/castle-recap-season-4-episode-22-undead-again-43012/">live recap details here</a>.</p>
<p>Below is ABC&#8217;s official synopsis for tonight&#8217;s episode:</p>
<blockquote><p>Castle tries to protect Beckett as she pursues the man who shot her; the 12th precinct is forever changed as feelings and secrets are revealed.</p>
<p>When the murder of an Army veteran puts Beckett on the trail of the man who shot her, Castle must decide how much he&#8217;s willing to sacrifice to keep her safe. As secrets are revealed and feelings are put on the table, the lives of the detectives at the 12th Precinct may never be the same.
</p></blockquote>
<p>It sounds like we will get to see Kate and Rick proclaim their love for one another on tonight&#8217;s episode.  Kate is going to pursue her mother&#8217;s murder, which has been a mystery for her since the series began.  She isn&#8217;t likely to get close as this isn&#8217;t the series finale, but we will get to see Rick try to protect her, because he couldn&#8217;t at the end of season three when she was shot.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for our live recap at 10PM!</p>
<p>RECAP:</p>
<p>The show opens with Kate hanging on to a ledge and screaming for Rick.  Three days prior to that, Rick is talking to Alexis about her valedictorian speech.  She feels like she has nothing to say.  Rick meets up with Kate and he offers for her to come over after Alexis&#8217; graduation.  She says she&#8217;d love to.</p>
<p>Esposito tells them about their latest victim and it looks like he was shot.  The kill shot was point blank, execution style with a nine millimeter.  Lanie tells them that he was carrying something that was about 30 pounds.  Rick says that he was hiding lockpicks in his shoe.  The victim, Orlando Costas, is a thief.  He was in the military and was an MP in Germany.  They&#8217;ve tracked down his girlfriend Marisol.  She said that he was in bed with her last night, but she woke up and he was gone and so was her car.  He had a hard time finding a job.  Kate said that they know he was running with the Casadores, but she says NO.</p>
<p>Rick, Kate and Esposito are checking out the car.  There was a .38 in the car.  The victim was at Captain Montgomery&#8217;s house.  They&#8217;re talking to Roy&#8217;s wife, who admits to shooting him with her husband&#8217;s .357.  She said it was almost like he knew they weren&#8217;t supposed to be there.  The guy was after Captain Montgomery&#8217;s files.  </p>
<p>Rick goes to Kate and she tells him to say something reassuring.  He said there are thousands of break-ins in the state.  Kate confides in Rick that she wonders how she&#8217;s still alive.  She feels as if she&#8217;s waiting for that other shoe to drop and what if this is that other shoe?</p>
<p>Back at his house, Rick is looking at Kate&#8217;s mother&#8217;s murder case.  Martha wonders if the new case has anything to do with Johanna Beckett&#8217;s murder.  He said they will come after Kate and he can&#8217;t let that happen again.</p>
<p>Kate tells Rick that the break-in wasn&#8217;t personal.  Rick tells her that she&#8217;s not in this alone and that he&#8217;s here.  She holds his hand until they get interrupted by Javier and Kevin.  They are telling him that Vicente Delgado and Diego Gutierrez might have had something to do with the murder.  The cops bust in and find Diego and question him about Orlando&#8217;s death.  He tells her that she can&#8217;t pin this on him because he wasn&#8217;t there. </p>
<p>Javier tells her that it wasn&#8217;t him and the DNA on the weapon wasn&#8217;t his.  The man who killed Orlando Costas in that alley is the same man who put a bullet in her heart.  She says no leads for eleven months and now this.  She doesn&#8217;t want them to tell Captain Gates because she&#8217;s sure she would be taken off of the case.  She wants to work it.  Kevin tells Javier that this feels wrong.  Javier tells him that she will investigate this case whether she&#8217;s on it or not and the least they can do is watch her back.</p>
<p>Rick gets a call from the guy he knows with regard to Johanna&#8217;s death.  Rick tells him that if she doesn&#8217;t stop, they will retaliate.  He tells Rick he can&#8217;t control the situation.  Kate tells Diego that they have enough on the drugs and weapons charges to put him away for five years.  She tells him that she knows he didn&#8217;t kill Orlando, but she wants to know why he was in that alley.  She can make all of the charges go away, but he has to tell her what he knows.</p>
<p>Diego said that Orlando was looking for work and needed something, but he didn&#8217;t give it to him.  He was desperate talking about how &#8220;they&#8221; would be killing him.  He said he told Orlando where to meet, but by the time he got there Orlando was already dead.  Someone was targeting Orlando.</p>
<p>Marisol knew about the money and she just cleaned out their joint checking account an hour ago.  Kate confronts Marisol at the bank and tells her that she has some questions for her before she leaves town and this time she wants the truth.  </p>
<p>Marisol tells Kate that she didn&#8217;t know anything about the money until today.  Kate threatens to put Marisol&#8217;s kid in custody and he&#8217;ll be on the street at 10 in the Casadores gang just like his father.  She caves, telling them that he did a one-off job for a lot of money.  </p>
<p>Rick and Kate go to the church Marisol was talking about, but the priest says that new people come in all of the time.  They check out the church&#8217;s surveillance video, but it cuts off who Orlando was talking to.  They freeze the video and see what the killer looks like.  She doesn&#8217;t want to lose the lead and says that they have to do this one on their own.</p>
<p>Javier is looking over the footage of the killer and freezes it when he sees a keychain in his hand.  It goes to Eastway car rentals.  Rick goes to see Kate and tells her that she has to stop the investigation.  She says she&#8217;s in control, but he says she&#8217;s not.  He tells her that if she doesn&#8217;t stop the investigation, they&#8217;re going to kill her.  Before Montgomery was killed, the killer sent his friend a package.  He tells her of the deal that Montgomery&#8217;s &#8220;friend&#8221; to keep her safe.  She asks if he was a part of this and he said that he was only trying to protect her.  She wants to find the guy.  He tells her that he&#8217;s a shadow in a parking garage.  She asks how he could keep this from her.  He says that he loves her, but she already knows that, doesn&#8217;t she?  </p>
<p>He tells her that he&#8217;s more than a partner.  He tells her that every morning he brings her coffee just to see her smile.  He loves her and if that means anything to her, she would stop this.  She tells him that he doesn&#8217;t get to decide.  He tells her that she won&#8217;t get to decide and she&#8217;s ready.  He says there&#8217;s nothing he can say.  It&#8217;s her life and if she wants to throw it away, she can, but he&#8217;s not going to stick around and watch.  He tells her this is over, he&#8217;s done and walks out.</p>
<p>Rick goes home to see Alexis&#8217; graduation cap and she asks if everything is okay.  She compiled all of the best speeches together and then read it aloud.  She says she sounded like a &#8220;pompous ass&#8221;.  She says everything is going to be different with moving on.</p>
<p>Kate is at her mother&#8217;s grave, tearing up over what she&#8217;s learned.  Back at the station, Kate goes up to Javier and Kevin and they ask where Castle is.  She tells them that he&#8217;s off the team.  Kevin tells her that she can&#8217;t go in there unprepared and they need to put a car on the location.  He tells Javier that it&#8217;s too big of a risk.</p>
<p>At Rick&#8217;s house, he&#8217;s getting ready for the graduation.  Kevin tries to call him, but he doesn&#8217;t pick up.  Javier runs up to Kate to tell her that Maddox is there on a one-term lease.  They check the area and find Montgomery&#8217;s files.  The perp also had Montgomery&#8217;s wedding album and they&#8217;re looking for someone he knew.</p>
<p>Kate and Javier get tackled to the ground by a guy who wants the files.  He takes something and runs.  Kate gives chase with her gun but he comes up behind her.  She tries getting him in a chokehold, but the guy can fight.  He&#8217;s got her on the ground, writhing.  He picks her up and knees her in the stomach.    She tries to gasp for air and asks him to tell her who&#8217;s behind this.  He tells her she&#8217;s wasting her time and she has no idea who she&#8217;s up against.  She says, &#8220;Neither do you.&#8221;  She ends up hanging onto the ledge for dear life and he walks away.</p>
<p>She screams and tries to grasp the ledge.  She sees the bottom of the street and starts asking for Castle.  She&#8217;s slipping as she holds on with one hand.  She losing her grip and Kevin comes there to save her.  He grabs her arm with a group of cops and Captain Gates is there looking unhappy.  </p>
<p>At the precinct, the Captain tells Kate and Javier to hand over their badges and guns.  Kate tells the Captain to keep it and that she resigns.  </p>
<p>At Alexis&#8217; graduation, she is delivering her Valedictorian speech.  Kate gathers up her things from the precinct and leaves it behind.  Kevin tells Javier that he &#8220;had to&#8221;.  </p>
<p>Kate walks through some heavy rain and sits on a swing and gets drenched.  The episode&#8217;s title comes from the end of Alexis&#8217; speech.  </p>
<p>Back at Rick&#8217;s house, he&#8217;s on the phone with Alexis.  He tells her to have fun and that he&#8217;s going to play the Xbox.  He gets a call from Kate and he turns his phone off.  He turns his computer on to all of the stuff he has on her case and deletes the file.  There&#8217;s a knock at the door.  It&#8217;s Kate.  He asks her what she wants and she says &#8220;YOU.&#8221;</p>
<p>She tells him she&#8217;s so sorry and they kiss over and over.  He asks what happened and she tells him the killer got away and she doesn&#8217;t care.  She tells him that she could only think about him.  She said she only wants him.  She leads him to the other room to have sex.</p>
<p>Captain Montgomery&#8217;s friend &#8220;Smith&#8221; is being confronted by the killer.  He wants all of the information that Smith has on the killing and after he gets it, he&#8217;s going to put Kate in the ground.</p>

<p>Stay tuned for our live recap of the show tonight as it airs!  </p>
<p>RECAP:</p>
<p><u>ROUND ONE:</u></p>
<p>Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd are up first, doing the Tango.  Very well rehearsed dance, it was great.  Len said he&#8217;s a first round knockout.  He set the standards high.  Bruno said he thought he was going to have to call a marriage counselor and they were going for it like there was no tomorrow.  Carrie Ann said they were in the zone and were so focused.  Scores: 9-9-9 = 27/30</p>
<p>Up next on the dance floor are Maria Menounos and Derek Hough doing the Viennese Waltz.  What a beautiful, elegant dance.  Props, as always, to Derek on his excellent choreography.  Bruno said it was heavenly fluidity and she had total emotional involvement.  It was amazing.  Carrie Ann said that we all felt it.  Sometimes dances speak to you and sometimes they sing to you.  There was an emotional connection to the movements and to each other.  Len said she&#8217;s the best in hold and he wanted more dancing in hold.  Scores: 10-8-10 = 28/30</p>
<p>Melissa Gilbert and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are up next doing the Foxtrot.  Maks is frustrated!  She says she&#8217;s learning and growing.  Melissa is still stiff and Maks looks a bit frustrated with the dance.  Carrie Ann said her shoulders were down and her neck was up and it was her best dance ever.  It was a fantastic dance.  Len said this potentially was her best dance so far.  Good dancing!  Bruno said that the cougar got the prize and the presentation was the best she&#8217;s done to date.  Scores: 8-8-8 = 24/30</p>
<p>Taking the dance floor next are Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas, doing the Viennese Waltz.  As always, it&#8217;s a beautiful performance.  Len said this had plenty of content and it was terrific.  Bruno said her technique is superb and the lift was good.  She had a sudden moment where she lost it and that&#8217;s rare.  Carrie Ann said her technique is gorgeous and she lost her balance.  Scores: 8-9-9 = 26/30</p>
<p>Dancing the Foxtrot next are Roshon Fegan and Chelsie Hightower.  It&#8217;s a relatively cute dance and his posture is getting a lot better.  Bruno said what he&#8217;s done in a week is incredible.  His hold is superb and his lines are clean.  It was a joy.  Carrie Ann said he made his grandmothers proud and made them all proud.  Len said two little dancing munchkins.  Good job.  Scores: 10-9-10 = 29/30</p>
<p>William Levy and Cheryl Burke are closing out the first round, doing the Foxtrot.  William is in charge of the dance floor and has really improved.  Loving this dance!  Carrie Ann said meow, meow, meow!  It was a super hot and sexy Pink Panther.  His movements were exquisite and it was so much fun to watch.  Len said there was care in the technique and flair in the movement.  Bruno said he&#8217;s a heartbreaker and he couldn&#8217;t be more debonaire and suave if he tried.  He hates him already.  Scores:  10-10-10 = 30/30</p>
<p><u>ROUND TWO:</u></p>
<p>Donald and Peta are up first doing their Jive with Karina.  He is really kicking some butt on the dance floor.  Wow, he jumped over them!  Nice!  Len said it was fun, fun, fun and it was a great job.  Bruno said he handled that beautifully.  He kept up with these two firecrackers.  Carrie Ann said he kept up the whole way and she liked his &#8220;three-way&#8221;!  Scores: 10-9-9 = 28/30</p>
<p>Up next are Maria and Derek, doing the Samba with Henry from the Troupe.  It&#8217;s strange, but they&#8217;re really trying to make the trio dance work.  It&#8217;s cute and cheesy.  Adorable dance.  Bruno said creatively the dance was incredible and she was the center of attention.  The choreography was fabulous.  Carrie Ann said they were perfectly in sync and there were a few missteps.  Len said there was no connection for him as a Samba.  If he had to judge it as a Bollywood number, it would be a ten.  Scores:  9-7-9 = 25/30</p>
<p>Dancing in third place are Melissa and Maks, dancing with Val for their Samba.  It&#8217;s a well choreographed dance and we thought it would end up to be a hot mess.  But it wasn&#8217;t bad.  Love the ending!  Carrie Ann said she&#8217;s a very good little cream filling there.  She gave it all and what a difference a day makes.  Len said that is her best dance and well done.  Bruno called her Rita Hayworth and it obviously takes two to get the best out of her.  Scores: 9-9-9 = 27/30</p>
<p>Doing the Cha Cha next are Katherine and Mark, joined by the hotness, Tristan MacManus.  What a really cute, smooth dance.  Adorable.  Len said it was well done and it was clean and clear.  Well done!  Bruno said it was sexy and cool and it had a modern feel to it.  It was absolutely wonderful.  Carrie Ann said she brought on the fire and she owned the dance.  Good job!  Scores: 10-9-10 = 29/30</p>
<p>Up next are Roshon and Chelsie doing the Paso Doble, joined by Sasha from the Troupe.  Can Roshon pull this off?  We think Roshon might be a little young to try pulling this dance off.  We would&#8217;ve rather seen Sasha and Chelsie, but that&#8217;s just us.  Bruno said it was good and there were moments he couldn&#8217;t distinguish between the two of them.  Carrie Ann said it was a good routine and it was powerful.  He went off a few time.  Len said they were two skinny fries chasing over the ketchup.  Great job, well done!  Scores: 9-9-9 = 27/30</p>
<p>William and Cheryl are closing out the show with their Paso Doble as joined by Tony Dovolani.  What a great, aggressive dance.  Loved it!  He looks like a pro!  Carrie Ann said the lines were incredible and he learned something from Tony this week.  It was insanely fun to watch.  Len said he salutes them and they did a fabulous job.  He liked the way it all came together.  Bruno said they used Cheryl like a cape, but they lost sync.  Scores: 9-9-9 = 27/30</p>
<p>Which was your favorite dance of the night?</p>

<p>Solo performances is round one of this evening:</p>
<p>First up to hit the stage and kick off the last night of performances is Jermaine Paul and he will be singing &#8220;I Believe I Can Fly&#8221; by R. Kelly. On stage he comes out in black tux pants and a white tux jacket looking all handsome atop a pedestal. He is backed up by a choir and violins. He is really taking the song and running with it. He is totally leaving his heart up on the stage. He has really blown the crowd away. Christina tells him he sings with so much heart and emotion. He even made her stand up! He shined like a superstar tonight. Cee Lo says perfect song pick and great stage production. Adam comments agrees and says he is soo powerful and he is an incredible singer. Blake is almost in tears and he is speechless. He really loved Jermaine&#8217;s rendition of this song. He feels like he learned from Jermiane this season. America has to vote to save Jermaine!</p>
<p>Juliet Simms is up next to the stage and she will be singing &#8220;Crazy&#8221; by Gnarls Barkley as a tribute to her coach Cee Lo Green. She brings a really different feel to the song. On stage she seems a bit nervous. She looks fabulous. She thanks Cee Lo for everything.</p>
<p>Chris Mann and Christina will have a duet of &#8220;Prayer&#8221; By Andrea Bocelli. The stage it is set up so beautiful and romatic. Their voices together are incredible. Outstanding performance. Both of them really connected to make this song beautiful.</p>
<p>Team Adam&#8217;s Tony Lucca is up next and he is singing &#8220;Ninety-Nine Problems&#8221; by Jay-Z. On stage he is comes out with a very rock feel and looking great with some flames added. He semi countrified and bluesy but it sounds pretty good. Blake is confused but he thought it was a lot of fun and it was a cool version of the song. Christina thought he sounded great. Cee Lo loved it! He thought it was hard. Adam is very proud of Tony and he explains the song a little that they are not trying to insult women. Bravo! America has to vote!</p>

He sings it well with his high notes! She stands to applaud his rendition of her music. She runs up to give him a hug. Chris tells Christina that he is soo thankful for taking a chance on him.</p>
<p>Juliet Simms and Cee Lo Green will take the stage for their duet &#8220;Born To Be Wild&#8221; by Steppen Wolf. On stage the lights are blaring and they are all in leather and motorcycles. Complete with some cage dancers.  Very Fun Performance! They totally rocked it!</p>
<p>Tony Lucca and Adam Levine are doing &#8220;Yesterday&#8221; by the Beatles as their duet performance. On stage they are sitting on stools with Tony playing the guitar like a coffee shop performance. It&#8217;s working for them. A very good ballad to sing on the last night of performances.</p>
<p>Jermaine Paul is singing his tribute to Blake Shelton singing his &#8221;God Gave Me You&#8221;. On stage he has really done this song well since this isn&#8217;t really his thing. A very emotional wonderful performance. That was incredible! Jermaine tells Blake thank for the chance and the opportunity to show his talent. Blake has done so much for him. Jermiane says God Gave Me you!</p>
<p>Now Chris Mann is up for his Solo to show what he is made of. He will be taking on &#8220;You Raise Me Up&#8221; by Josh Groban. On stage he is wearing his typical suit but he looks and sounds amazing. He even has someone doing sign langauge of the song. He is joined by a choir on stage and it sounds&#8230;.. there are no words for it. Christina is in tears. Chris is choking up on stage. Wonderful Performance. Cee Lo tells him that he is by far once of the most incomperable singer he knows. He wants Chris to sing at his next wedding. Christina is soo proud of Chris and his pure, raw talent. She thanks him for being so amazing. Vote for Chris!!!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a soulful duet for Jermaine Paul and Blake Shelton as they will be singing &#8220;Soul Man&#8221; by Isaac Hayes. The stage production is very retro and fun. They are both ready to kick this songs ass! Jermaine sounds fantastic! This song is right up his alley! Blake shows his real talent side while on stage. Great performance.</p>
<p>Tony Lucca gets to sing his tribute to Adam Levine and he has chosen &#8220;Harder To Breathe&#8221;. He sounds great and I think he has made Adam proud. Great Job! Tony tells Adam that this is like nothing else and he thanks all four of the coaches. This is a life altering experience.</p>
<p>Juliet Simms is up for her solo and she has chose &#8220;Free Bird&#8221; by Lynyrd Skynyrd. She comes to the stage with red lights from behind making her look like an angel with the outfit she picked to wear. Her voice sounds much better than it did earlier in the show. She is really showing her talent off now and she is connecting with this song totally. Nice way to end the show tonight. She killed that! That was an amazing performance. Cee Lo is tearing up.

<p>&#8220;Mad Men&#8221; makes its return tonight with an all new episode titled, &#8220;Lady Lazarus&#8221;.  In case you&#8217;ve missed last week&#8217;s episode titled &#8220;At The Codfish Ball&#8221;, you can read our <a href="http://tragicomical.com/2012/04/29/mad-men-recap-season-5-episode-7-at-the-codfish-ball-42912/">full, detailed recap here</a>.</p>
<p>AMC&#8217;s official synopsis:</p>
<blockquote><p>Peggy is irritated by a secret she has to keep. Pete covers for a friend and Don gets unexpected news. While Pete has to make a phone call, Peggy looks to be dreading one. The title of the episode is from one of Sylvia Plath’s Holocaust poems.</p></blockquote>
<p>Last week, we saw Sally Draper growing up.  She&#8217;s wearing hip dresses, boots, makeup and has spied Roger Sterling being serviced by Megan&#8217;s mother.  When Henry&#8217;s mother Pauline was in trouble after tripping over the phone cord, Sally helped her out by calling the police.  This gives Don something to brag about to everyone, thus he takes her to the awards ceremony.  </p>
<p>Megan saved the Heinz account by giving Don full credit for her idea.  Peggy and Abe told her mother that they were taking the next step in their relationship and moving in together.  Peggy&#8217;s mother wasn&#8217;t supportive of the idea and took back her cake.  She didn&#8217;t want to celebrate Peggy and Abe living in sin when she thought they&#8217;d be getting married.  </p>
<p>Stay tuned for our live recap of the show &#8212; right here!  We&#8217;ll keep you posted as to what happens tonight FIRST!  LIVE RECAP AT 10PM EST.</p>
<p><strong>RECAP:</strong></p>
<p>Pete is on the train going into town and he&#8217;s talking to Howard about already having life insurance.  Howard tells him that the policy he has probably pays the company.  Howard says that he&#8217;s got a side dish in the city and another apartment.  Pete asks if he&#8217;s worried he&#8217;ll get caught.  </p>
<p>At the office, Michael is pitching an idea to Don and the guys up against Chevaliet Blanc.  The group is looking for music for their advertisement that sounds like The Beatles.  Don goes to ask Megan her opinion on which band she thinks is a good fit.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Roger gives Pete a bunch of skis because the guy who sent them wants Pete to handle the account.  Don asks Megan to go to dinner with him.  He asks her why music is so important.  She says no one can keep up and it&#8217;s always changing.  She declines dinner, telling him that she has to work.</p>
<p>Pete leaves and walks by Peggy&#8217;s office on his way out with the skis.  Megan tells Peggy that Don just called for her to join him for dinner.  Outside Pete runs into Howard&#8217;s wife, Beth.  She says that she locked her keys in her car and asks for a ride home.  He drives her, but she&#8217;s upset that he&#8217;s a stranger and knows more about Howard than she does.  </p>
<p>Don calls Peggy to ask if Megan is there.  She tells him that Megan left right after &#8220;he called&#8221;.  He tells her that he didn&#8217;t call.  She tells him that she can&#8217;t be expected to know where Megan is&#8230;he doesn&#8217;t know where Abe is&#8230;.He says good night and hangs up.</p>
<p>At Beth&#8217;s house, she comes on to Pete and now they&#8217;re hooking up.  Oh snap.  At the office, Peggy gets a phone call and it&#8217;s Don.  She yells into the phone, &#8220;Pizza house!&#8221; and hangs up.  </p>
<p>Beth and Pete are laying in the floor and she tells him that she used to be reckless.  He can&#8217;t believe that happened.  She says that Howard stopped listening to her after it was appropriate.  He tells her that he&#8217;s listening to everything she says.  She says that this will never happen again, as she rises to get dressed.  He doesn&#8217;t want to leave her, but he gets into his car to go home.  Sitting in the car, he fixes his hair and then pulls out.</p>
<p>At the apartment, Megan tells Don that she went for a couple of drinks and had to lie to Peggy to get out of there.   </p>
<p>The next morning, Megan goes to the bathroom with Peggy.  Peggy tells her not to put her in that sort of position.  She said that she got a callback for a part.  She still wants to be an actress and she doesn&#8217;t want to tell Don.  Peggy basically tells her that she&#8217;s lucky to be there and that she&#8217;s taking up someone else&#8217;s spot.  </p>
<p>Megan and Don are acting out parts for the Cool Whip commercial.  Meanwhile Pete is calling Beth to meet him in the city anywhere.  She thinks she might run into Trudy at the market if she goes.  He asks if she&#8217;s sorry he called.  She says that they should keep the memory and to fantasize about it.  She tells him not to call again.  </p>
<p>Megan wakes Don up in the middle of the night and tells him that she lied to him.  She tells him that she didn&#8217;t go for a drink and that she went for an audition.  She said she didn&#8217;t get it, but it was close.  She tells him that she realized that she misses acting.  She wants to get back into it.  She wants to be on Broadway or in movies.  She doesn&#8217;t want to do advertising anymore.  She says that since she&#8217;s been a little girl, that&#8217;s all she&#8217;s dreamed about.  She offers to go in and train someone new&#8230;he tells her no and to just go in and say goodbye to everyone and that&#8217;s it.  </p>
<p>Don goes into the office the next day to tell Joan that Megan is quitting.  He is looking for the protocol for the office to deal with someone leaving.  Megan tells Peggy that she&#8217;s not going to be working there anymore.  Michael Ginsberg says that she owes him fifteen dollars for lunches and what is he going to do &#8212; ask Don?</p>
<p>Pete goes to the office and talks to Harry.  Harry tells him that Megan quit.  Megan takes the elevator out of the office and tells Don that she&#8217;ll see him at home.  </p>
<p>In the office, Ken is letting Don listen to something for the ad that sounds like The Beatles.  On the way home, Pete runs into Howard and says that he is right about the insurance policy.  He offers to go home with him to fill out some paperwork for a policy.  </p>

<p>Pete sees Beth and tells her that he wants to meet with her.  He gives her some money and a note.  He walks out of the room to get some policy paperwork and Pete kisses Beth.  Howard comes back and tries to get Pete to stay for dinner.  </p>
<p>Don and Megan are talking and she tells him that she loves him.  She says that he&#8217;s everything to her and he says the same to her.</p>
<p>Back at the Cool Whip offices, Peggy and Don are going back and forth with the &#8220;Just Taste It&#8221; campaign.  Peggy yells at Don about Megan doing the campaign.  They bicker back and forth and she tells him that she trained Megan and that she defended her for eight months.</p>
<p>Megan leaves the apartment to go for an audition after Roger tells Don back in the office that Megan probably just wants a baby.  </p>
<p>As Beth and Howard are leaving their place, Pete watches them pull out.  She draws a heart in the condensation in the window.  Then she rolls the window up and back down to erase it.</p>

<p>Red can smell that Snow is there and the dwarves find her laying on the ground. She has no breathe. She is gone. Red realizes she sacraficed herself. The Queen says the sacrafice is over-rated!</p>
<p>In Storybrooke, Regina goes to Mr. Gold and tells him that he isn&#8217;t going anywhere. She tells Mr. Gold that she found an old reliable source. All magic comes with a price. She tells him that now the curse is stronger than ever so now he is stuck there in Storybrooke. She tells him the curse will never be broken.</p>
<p>At Emma&#8217;s apartment Henry shows up to talk to Emma. She tells him that she is leaving town. He tells her that Regina and her made a deal. Henry is upset and tells her that she can&#8217;t trust Regina. Emma tells him this isn&#8217;t a story and he can&#8217;t keep living a lie. Henry realizes that she really doesn&#8217;t believe. Emma tells him that this will be best. Henry tells her she is the only one that can stop her. Henry hugs Emma and sees the pastry on the table. He asks where it came from. She says that this was a trick and he tells her that she can&#8217;t eat it because it is poison. He takes the apple turnover and eats it. He passes out!</p>
<p>The End!</p>

<p>Coldplay is taking the stage to perform their new song, &#8220;Paradise&#8221;.  Hollie and Phillip are on the stage now to learn their fates.  Jimmy Iovine said that Phillip should be in the bottom two tonight.  Hollie is in the bottom two tonight.  Phillip is safe! YES!  All of our hard work paid off!</p>
<p>Carrie Underwood is performing her new song on the Idol stage.  Love the dress!</p>
<p>Jessica is safe.  Skylar is joining Hollie in the bottom two.  Coldplay is performing once more before they announce who is getting eliminated from tonight&#8217;s show.  </p>
<p>Randy said that he&#8217;s sad because this is the best top five on the show.  Jennifer said a lot of people came up to her to tell her that they enjoyed Wednesday&#8217;s show.  Steven said that the top five has never been better than this.</p>

<p>Tonight the <strong>CW&#8217;s</strong> hit drama <em>&#8220;Vampire Diaries&#8221;</em> returns with an all new episode entitled <em>&#8220;Before Sunset&#8221;</em>. If you missed last week&#8217;s excited episode you can read our <a href="http://tragicomical.com/2012/04/26/vampire-diaries-recappromo-video-season-3-episode-20-do-not-go-gentle-042612/" target="_blank">recap here</a>!</p>
<p>Last week we saw Mystic Falls have their Decade Dance, the 1920&#8242;s, and Rebekah of all people was the head of the committe. Too bad no one realized that it wasn&#8217;t Rebekah, it was her mother Ester who entered Rebekah&#8217;s body in order to fool Klaus and get help from Alaric to kill her children. After Ester enlists the help of Alaric in order to take out her children, Stefan, Damon, Elena, and Klaus are now on a quest to stop her from coming up with the ultimate weapon once they realize she is alive.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for poor Bonnie she is needed at the dance to performa a spell to counter act Esters boundry spell that put around the school in order to stop any vampire from leaving the grounds. Once the spell has been lifted and Stefan, Damon, Elena and Klaus reach the Salvatore Grave site just in time to find Alaric dead on the ground awaiting the transistion to vampire. Alaric wakes up at just the right time to stab Ester in her true form.</p>
<p>In the end Alaric decides he does not want to transistion into a vampire. While he awaits the final death Bonnie is at home and visited by Ester from the other side. She puts a spell on Bonnie to go to the grave site and feed Alaric so he will not die. If Alaric stays alive he is the ultimate weapon against all other vampires. Bonnie makes it there to feed Alaric so he doesn&#8217;t die. That&#8217;s where the episode ends last week.</p>

<p><strong>RECAP:</strong></p>
<p>Tonight we begin with Alaric sitting in his classroom at the highschool at his desk when Caroline walks in talking on the cell phone to Tyler about Klaus moving out of town. They get off the phone and Caroline hears someone. She doesn&#8217;t see who it is. Rebekah is there cleaning up from the dance when Caroline walks in. They exchange sympathies for each of their losses. Rebekah walks in the hall way and runs into Alaric. Caroline comes to her aid and they stab Alaric. They both run but poor Caroline gets caught by him and dragged back into the school while Alaric burns from being in the son.</p>
<p>At the Gilbert house Elena and Jeremy are painting Alaric&#8217;s room. Jeremy goes off on Stefan for showing up to check on them. Elena feels bad about and just then the door bell rings. It&#8217;s Damon with Bonnie. He tells Stefan they have a problem.</p>
<p>Rebekah goes to Klaus to tell him about Alaric and they decide to leave now before the night falls. He tells her that he has to go get Elena. They argue about this. She decides to leave without him and he stays so he can take Elena.</p>
<p>Back at Elena&#8217;s Bonnie, Damon and Stefan are talking about this problem with Alaric. He can kill them. They are trying to figure out how to undo the spell on Alaric the vampire. Alaric calls Elena and tells her he has Caroline and she must come to the school by herself or he willl kill Caroline.</p>
<p>Meanwhile Klaus shows up at the Gilbert&#8217;s house. Stefan and Damon deal with Klaus and send Jeremy away. He knows about Alaric. Klaus tells them he is taking Elena. Damon and Stefan tell him nope sorry about your luck. They call for Elena. Meanwhile Klaus is outside trying to figure something out when he leans down and reads the newspaper. Damon and Stefan realize that Elena is missing now and Klaus throws the newspaper thru the window.</p>
<p>At the school Elena shows up. She is looking for them. She hears Caroline scream. Elena walks in to find her stabbed with pencils. Elena tries to talk to Alaric and he tells her to free her herself. Elena goes to take the pencils out nicely and he walks up and yanks them out.</p>
<p>Klaus is getting very upset witih Damon and Stefan not letting them in. Klaus throws a soccer ball thru the house and starts throwing fence posts at them. Stefan comes out and talks to Klaus. Tells him that Alaric has Elena and if Klaus doesn&#8217;t go there and give himself up he will kill her.</p>
<p>Now Damon, Stefan, Klaus and Bonnie are trying to figure out what to do about Alaric. She needs a lot of vamp muscle to hold him off while she does the spell.</p>
<p>At the school Alaric is still torturing poor Caroline. He is wrapping a vervain rag around her mouth. He tells Elena he will show her how to kill and vampire.</p>
<p>Damon and Bonnie are waiting for Abby to come. Bonnie needs help to perform this spell. Abby shows up. They are not on good terms but Bonnie needs her.</p>
<p>Klaus and Stefan show up at the school and Klaus tells Stefan that he is still going to leave with Elena. Stefan tells him that he will go with them if he really wants to take Elena. Stefan tells him he would drop everything to keep Elena safe.</p>
<p>At the Salvatore house Bonnie is explaining to Abby what they need to do to get rid of Alaric. Abby warns them that this is black magic. Bonnie has to stop a human heart in order to make this spell work.</p>
<p>Bonnie and Damon show up at the school and Jeremy is there. Damon tries to get Jeremy&#8217;s ring for Bonnie. Bonnie is going to stop Jeremy&#8217;s heart to do this spell. All the vamps have to drink Bonnie&#8217;s blood to be connected.</p>
<p>Alaric is yelling at Elena while Caroline suffers. Elena tries to talk sense into Alaric about killing the vamps. He tells her if she doesn&#8217;t side with the humans she is no better than them. He tells her to kill Caroline and if not he will. She finally throws some vervain on his face and Caroline gets out but Elena is stuck there. Klaus finds Caroline and he tells her to go straight home and stay inside.</p>
<p>Alaric is attempting to kill Elena. He hates her. He refuses to kill her meanwhile Damon and Stefan grab hold of him and he takes them both down. Klaus runs up and grabs him. Meanwhile Bonnie is doing the spell to stop Jeremy&#8217;s heart. The connection breaks because he gets a hold of Klaus. Elena stops him because she threatens to kill herself. He needs to have her because if she dies he dies too because her blood is what connects them.</p>

<p>At Klaus&#8217; Elena is trying to talk som sense into him. She gets mean with him. So Klaus tells her that she is the one who ruined the Salvatore bond for Damon and Stefan. If he kills her she won&#8217;t have to choose and break what little bond there is left. He tells her sweet dreams it&#8217;s been fun while he waits for her to die.</p>
<p>Elena is trying to get lose as she continues to have her blood drained and she is getting weaker. Tyler sneaks back in and gets her unhooked from the IV. Just when he does Klaus walks in and finds them. Klaus asks how he broke the sire bond. They start to argue. Tyler tires to take Elena and Klaus stops him. Just then Damon and Stefan show up to save the day. Klaus starts to feel his heart beat from the spell that Bonnie is performing. He looks all dazed and confused. Damon gets Elena. Stefan watches as Klaus dies.</p>
<p>Now Bonnie has to bring Jeremy back to life. And it&#8217;s not working. All of a sudden he wakes up and looks at her.</p>
<p>Stefan, Damon Tyler and Elena walk away from Klaus as he is finally gone for good.</p>
<p>Elena, Damon and Stefan are going back to her house. They are trying to get her to safety before sunset. She tells them both that she knows it selfish and that she is stringing them along. She explains that if she chose one of them she would lose the other. She can&#8217;t lose them. Damon and Stefan are going to dump Klaus&#8217; body and take off on the road. They promise to call her when then they find a safe place. She closes the door and finds Caroline, Bonnie, Jeremy and Matt and Tyler are all celebrating about killing off Klaus.
