CBS is postponing the season finale of its comedy "Mike & Molly" in the aftermath of devastating tornadoes that hit Oklahoma and other parts of the central United States in the past couple of days.

The show's third-season finale deals in part with a tornado bearing down on Chicago, which leads Mike (Billy Gardell) and Molly (Melissa McCarthy) to make a couple of big confessions to each other. The network says in a statement that "due to the tragic events in Oklahoma" this afternoon, it's pre-empting the episode.

A repeat will air in its place at 9:30 p.m. ET, and the finale will be rescheduled for "an appropriate date."

A huge tornado struck near Oklahoma City early Monday afternoon, leveling buildings and creating a wide swath of damage. The twister follows several others touching down Oklahoma and Kansas over the weekend.

Zap2it: Are you enjoying "The Voice"?

Carson Daly: It's been a dream come true professionally, and personally, for my family. We were not sure about the fate of my late-night show, I just had a son and it came at a good time, workwise. People thought we were crazy to put another singing competition on.

Zap2it: Speaking of which, the market is so crowded with singing competitions. Why do you think this has taken off when others haven't?

Carson Daly: We loved it, too, and we have to give credit to John de Mol and the guys who did it in Holland. That is where it was on and we fell in love with it, too. We just liked the pureness of it, hearkening back. There is just snarky television. Does it even pay off to do anything for the right reasons? Is there a place for pure? In this day where you have to be beautiful and popular, yeah, they can sing, but what do they look like?

Zap2it: Have you picked a winner?

Carson Daly: If you had asked me, 'Would Nicholas David (a finalist in Season 3) make it down the stretch?' I would have said no. People come out of the woodwork. Certain people get better in the process; they really do.

Zap2it: The fun is the return to the purity of the music. Anything else?

Carson Daly: It's the power shift -- a 24-year-old sandwich maker, and he gets three chairs to turn around. Now they are in it for the right reason, and he, all of a sudden, he gets to interview them. And where else do you get that shift in power? Multimillionaires interviewed by a kid who makes sandwiches for a living.­

On Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel, senior correspondent Charles Gasparino is always on the hunt for the next big scoop at the intersection of finance, business and politics.
But when he's not on such shows as FBN's "Countdown to the Closing Bell" or FNC's "Cashin' In," the Bronx native can often be found in his kitchen, whipping up recipes that reflect his Neapolitan Italian heritage.
"I cook a lot," he says. "I used to work in a restaurant when I was young. My dad was a bartender at this Italian restaurant in town, and he got me a job washing dishes. I must have been in the 11th grade. And I've been cooking ever since.
"When you wash dishes, you do all the prep work for the chef. That's why a lot of these dishwashers become chefs."
Gasparino says he makes a great lasagna - which is what he had last Thanksgiving in place of turkey - as well as braciola.
"You take flank steak," he says, "and you roll it up. Depending on the filling, you can do a lot with it. The Sicilian way, you often put in hard-boiled eggs. You roll it, add salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, and you can put whatever else you want in it.
"Sicilians put hard-boiled eggs. Neapolitans will put, like I do, Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. I'll put in raisins; they give it a really good kick. You saute it, put it in the (tomato) sauce, for, like, an hour."
As to who is the chief cook in his household, Gasparino says, "Me. Not even close. My wife didn't even know how to turn on her oven when she met me."
But he doesn't chow down on Italian cuisine every day.
"I must admit it," says Gasparino, "I watch what I eat. I do protein shakes for breakfast, salads for lunch, and I'll have fish or chicken for dinner, generally. If I have Italian food on the weekend, I'll do farro pasta, which is pretty good. It's very healthy. I make my own sauce; not much oil in it. I stay away from red meat, although I will have some during the holidays.
"By the way, working in that kitchen, I learned to make stuff where you could substitute ingredients. I also learned how to make fish. I can make really good oreganato - swordfish oreganato, cod oreganato."
While Gasparino has no problem using commercially made pasta or breadcrumbs - he says he learned the best brands from Italians - he won't stand for sauce in a jar.
"I never eat it," he says. "It's so easy to make your own. It takes five minutes. If you're just looking for a decent spaghetti sauce, you saute garlic, maybe onions if you want. You throw in a can of tomatoes.
"You put in salt and pepper, parsley and basil, and maybe some red wine, and maybe a little more olive oil. You're done."

You've got to love it when people are willing to mix it up a little. Let's face it; the traditional cop show has felt tired for years. Most are so formulaic that the crimes almost solve themselves.
But with "Motive," a new series premiering Monday, May 20, on ABC, the formula has been set on its ear. Creator and executive producer Daniel Cerone ("The Mentalist," "Dexter"), likes to say that most cop shows tend to be whodunits, while "Motive," as the name suggests, tends to be more of a whydunit. And with Kristin Lehman ("The Killing") starring as Detective Angie Flynn, it's a mustwatchit.
"I always wanted to create a series where you reveal the killer in the tease -- hearkening back to 'Columbo,' which is considered the granddaddy of all detectives, and basically the whole first act was showing the kill," Cerone says. "I've always been fascinated with that model. But I was always reluctant to pitch it because there is the stumbling block, because if you reveal the killer, then where's the mystery?"
Good point. But one of the biggest problems with traditional crime series is that arguably the most exciting thing in any episode has already happened at the start of the show, and it happened off-screen: the murder.
By opening "Motive" with two little vignettes that introduce both the killer and the victim, viewers get the opportunity to play the game of "When did they do it? Why did they do it? And how did they do it?" Best of all, thanks to those initial introductions, we are actually drawn into their lives and feel much more of a vested interest than is usually the case in a crime drama.
"Giving it away doesn't change how compelling it is so that I don't want to know why this happened," says Lehman.
Going back to the "Columbo" mold, when you know who the killer is, you have to make the game a lot more fun, says Cerone.
"With 'Columbo,' the fun was sort of watching this rumpled character slowly break down these killers and sort of prey upon their egos and catch them off guard. So for me, I wanted to try and find a character who was fun to watch but at other times people might dismiss because she is a beautiful woman."
Detective Flynn was originally conceived as a "wrong side of the tracks" sort of character, who ran with the wrong crowd when she was younger. She was supposed to be someone who was easy to overlook.
"But Kristin -- who we feel like we've scored with -- brings a little bit more sophistication to the role than I imagined," says Cerone. "I really like it when an actor comes in and redefines a role. Kristin plays that sort of completely unexpected, off-the-cuff, flamethrower of truth. She's going to say what she says and sort of lull you into this false sense of security with her caring and compassion, and then the knives come out."
That was readily apparent when asked about the premiere episode's guest star, Joey McIntyre, who meets an untimely demise.
"He's laying there covered in blood -- he's been bludgeoned, and he's laying on the ground -- and all I can think is 'Please don't go girl!' " says Lehman with a laugh. " 'Oh, my God, we just killed the cultural icon for teendom and girls of the '80s.' "
What's funny is that it could have just as easily come from the mouth of Detective Flynn.
"I just love her," says Lehman. "I don't love all the characters I've played. But she's a woman who doesn't suffer fools easily. She's extremely smart, has a natural curiosity and a natural intuition and confidence. [I think] going through all the things that she's gone through in her life, like having a child at a young age ... . Being a single mom really requires you to state to the world the measure of your mettle. I just play her as someone who is extremely satisfied with her lot in life. And that is pretty satisfying to play."
And while the supporting characters, such as Detective Oscar Vega (Louis Ferreira) and Dr. Betty Rogers (Lauren Holly), are terrific compliments to Flynn, high marks need to be held out for the visual style of the series, which is shot on location in Vancouver.
The cinematic refinement is a visual drug that gives you the impression you're watching a feature film. Cerone credits director Bronwen Hughes, who shot the pilot, for creating the look and feel of the show.
While we're not ready to call it the next "Columbo," we're definitely optimistic and willing to look for "Motive."

On FOX's comedy "The Goodwin Games," premiering Monday, May 20, Scott Foley plays an overachieving, overextended surgeon, the eldest of three, who are called home after their dad's death.
Their dad, Beau Bridges, was a math professor who somehow managed to amass $23 million but will not bequeath it to his adult children until they learn to act like a family.
Foley plays Henry, a rather humorless sort, who "has a habit of keeping everything bottled up," he says. "He was the oldest son, as I am myself, of three siblings. He always felt he had to look after his siblings when his mother passed away and the family drifted apart, and they all come back together for his father's funeral."
After a few years of dramas, Foley was itching to do a comedy again. As well known as Foley has become on TV, he also spent lean years at a bunch of disparate jobs.
"I truly believe that what I do demands an understanding of normalcy," Foley says.And he gleans that from his years of working (and eating most meals) at Mrs. Fields, folding jeans at the Gap, selling insurance and tending bar.
"My first job in L.A. was selling car insurance, and I was so bad at it," Foley says. "I am not a salesperson. I was starving, mind you. I tended bar and waited tables for years and ended up managing a few restaurants."
The cast shot seven episodes months ago. Handicapping its chances, Foley says, "It felt, to me, like it has legs. I have a feeling Fox had a very tough year this year with its comedies. They are putting it on at such a late date, I hope people watch it and it surprises everybody. I don't want it to be a burn-off."
Birth date: July 15, 1972
Credits: "Scandal," "True Blood," "The Unit," "Scrubs," "Felicity," "Dawson's Creek"
Breakthrough role: "Dawson's Creek." "I found an agent, booked an episode of 'Step by Step' with Suzanne Somers and booked another gig, and that took me to North Carolina (for 'Dawson's'). From there, The WB, now-defunct WB, got to know who I was. At one point I had done more shows on The WB than any other actor," Foley says.
First time onstage: "I was in fifth grade in St. Louis, and I played Oliver," he says of "Oliver Twist." "It is a huge role, and I had so much fun I was taken, and never looked back."
Favorite movie: "I loved 'Life of Pi.' It was one of my most favorite movies ever. 'Flight' was such a good film. Comedywise, there are old Mel Brooks' things -- I can watch 'Blazing Saddles' again and again -- and great films that stand the test of time, like 'The Shawshank Redemption.' "
Favorite books: "Wallace Stegner is one of my favorite authors. His choice of words, the way he crafts his sentences and the stories he tells are amazing. I am a big Steinbeck fan."
Favorite music: "James Taylor. These days, Fun. I can listen to Fun. all day long. And Eric Church."

NBC has picked up another scripted series to be part of its summer schedule, a suspense thriller called "Siberia."

The show, which was presented to buyers at the MIPTV conference earlier in the spring, is about contestants on a reality show who encounter strange happenings on location in Tunguska, Siberia, the location of a huge meteor impact in 1908. They soon realized that the oddities are not a staged part of the production and have to work together to survive.

Matthew Arnold created the series, which will premiere at 10 p.m. ET Monday, July 1. NBC's announcement makes no mention of any cast members.

"Siberia" joins three other scripted series on NBC's summer schedule. The others are Anne Heche's comedy "Save Me" (premiering May 23), drama "Crossing Lines" (June 23) and the dramedy "Camp" (July 10), starring Rachel Griffiths.

Observant "Glee" fans may have noticed a familiar face in the trailer for ABC's new comedy, "Mixology." In this bar-set show, Vanessa Lengies plays a cheerful but love-challenged waitress who may or may not be dating the bartender (played by Adan Canto of "The Following").

But if Lengies is starring in a new show, what does that mean for McKinley High School's resident rich girl, Sugar Motta? According to a recent interview, the actress will definitely be leaving "Glee" for her new gig.

The actress discussed her move in an interview for TVGuide.com. As Lengies points out, it's not like there won't be time for Sugar to say her goodbyes, assuming "Glee" wants to go that route. "Mixology" doesn't premiere until midseason, giving the actress time to go back to her old show for a couple of last hurrahs.

Whether she will or not remains uncertain -- the character has never been a regular and no word has come from "Glee" about next season's recurring cast. Still, Lengies is happy about both her past on "Glee" and her future on "Mixology."

"I met some of the most fantastic people [on "Glee"], but I was being hired per episode. I loved getting to be there and dancing around, but I didn't really have much of an opportunity to act," Lengies said in her interview. "For an actress who really hasn't gotten to act for two years, it was like letting a wild dog out of its cage."

Will you miss Sugar on "Glee"? Should the show bother to say goodbye, or should the character just fade away like others before her? Will you watch "Mixology"?

The Bluth family's work ethic has never been especially impressive, but Tobias and Lindsay Funke in particular are not known for their career aspirations. Though Tobias once acted as an analrapist (both an analyst and a therapist), his decision to become an actor has been largely unsuccessful.

Don't expect that to change when "Arrested Development" heads into Season 4. Zap2it recently had the chance to speak with David Cross and Portia de Rossi, and Cross says Tobias hasn't advanced much in the seven years the comedy series has been off the air.

"Tobias has gotten some work that anybody else who is sane would not appreciate, like, 'That's some good [work]. I'm putting that on my reel and calling myself an actor,'" Cross explains. "Tobias has had a few of those things where it just validates his own delusion that he's a viable working actor."

Lindsay, meanwhile, has never been able to hold a job for more than an episode. Though she was involved in activism, charity work and even sometimes even tried to get real work, she's always been better at spending money than making it. De Rossi teases that Lindsay's career aspirations have taken a turn for the worst in Season 4.

"Lindsay is working hard trying to extort money from other people. That's about the extent of her career aspirations," de Rossi says. "Blackmail. Just get money from whomever you can, probably from within your family. That kind of thing."

Also, for the record, Lindsay Bluth did work as a spokeswoman for Cloudmir vodka at Klimpy's in Season 1 episode 11, "Public Relations."

As Zap2it has been conducting a rewatch of "Arrested Development's" first three seasons, we couldn't resist asking de Rossi and Cross if they had any specific recurring jokes that always make them laugh. It turns out that was a harder question than it seems.

"It's hard though to pick your favorite moment or your favorite joke," de Rossi says. "I mean, 'Come on!' Every time GOB says that it makes me laugh. There's so many little things that make up this show that you'll be seeing more of in the Netflix version."

She admits, "The one that just makes me smile all the time is Mae Whitman's character Ann. 'Her?' That always makes me laugh when nobody knows that she's [there]."

For Cross, his favorite moment came when everyone in the Bluth family finally did the Chicken Dance together.

"One thing I liked was how there are individually people had the Chicken Dance, but then there was the one time that they all did it, and when you see how off and inappropriate and unlike a chicken the sound and the actual movement is, but you see all four of them doing it, that really made me laugh hard," Cross says.

Tobias never got to do a Chicken Dance (though he did dress like a chicken), but Lindsay's "Chaw-chee chaw-chee chaw-chee" impression remains iconic.

"People ask me to do that, the chicken dance," de Rossi says. She adds, "I came up with [the dance] on the spot. I was like, 'Oh, this will be fine.' ... I was thinking more of a rooster."

Though they didn't confirm whether the Chicken Dance will make a reappearance in Season 4, we'll cry fowl if creator Mitch Hurwitz left it out.

"Arrested Development's" 15-episode fourth season airs on Netflix on May 26. If you need help catching up on the first three seasons, check out Zap2it's "Arrested Development" Rewatch.

There are only two episodes left in "Game of Thrones" Season 3, and tensions are reaching a boiling point. Episode 9, "The Rains of Castamere," looks like it will focus primarily on Robb, Bran and Jon, all three of whom were noticeably absent from last night's "Second Sons."

In the "Rains of Castamere" promo, above, the Wildlings plan an attack on a Night's Watch area that Jon doesn't think is worth Tormund's time. Meanwhile Robb and Catelyn also seem to be planning an attack, and Catelyn forebodingly says, "Show them how it feels to lose what they love." It's unclear who exactly the "them" is in that situation, but it's obviously someone the Starks aren't very happy with. Also, if you look closely enough, you can see a brief snippet of Edmure Tully at his wedding.

The most interesting tease from this preview is that we finally get to see Bran warg. It's no secret that he has the ability to go into the minds of other beasts, but here we get to see him do so. Consider us intrigued. In other parts of the world, Arya threatens the Hound's life (again) and Daenerys readies her assault on Yunkai.

"Game of Thrones" airs Sundays on HBO at 9 p.m. ET. Thank you Reddit and Tumblr for already making a GIF of one of the most hilarious moments in "Second Sons," which we've included below:

  
  
 
  

Hugh Dillon is starting another television gig, but he'd be happy to revisit his last one.
The Canadian actor-musician plays a prison guard who matches wits with a death row inmate (Peter Sarsgaard) when AMC's "The Killing" returns for a third season Sunday, June 2. Dillon's trademark intensity also remains on view in his role as Sgt. Ed Lane in ION repeats of the elite-police-unit drama "Flashpoint," which has finished its five-season run ... but he hopes that show hasn't seen its absolute end.
"It was one of those great events in life," Dillon tells Zap2it about his "Flashpoint" tenure. "Just yesterday, I was talking to Sergio Di Zio, who played Spike on the show. It's very much like family. Also, I learned technical things there that I could bring to 'The Killing,' things you aren't even aware you've learned that you just bring to the next project."
Back on Canada's music charts as well for his reunion album with his group Headstones, "Love & Fury," Dillon is gratified "Flashpoint" is "still on everywhere. We've got fans in the U.K.; there's a CBS Action channel there that it's now part of, and I couldn't be happier.
"I'm hoping that they'll come back and do a movie or two," adds Dillon. "The network up in Canada (CTV, which also co-produced the show) loved it, so I wouldn't be surprised if those movies are coming down the pike."

Is Jason Sudeikis leaving "Saturday Night Live" before the start of next season? A tweet from cast member Jay Pharaoh indicates that the comedian will be following his former "SNL" co-stars Bill Hader and Fred Armisen out the door.

Although there has been speculation that Sudeikis would end his 8-season "SNL" run after Season 38, nothing definitive has been said by either the actor or the show. Also, a lack of finality for Sudeikis in the season finale on Saturday (May 18) would seem to indicate that he is staying. Hader and Armisen, after all, got strong good-byes in the episode.

What is the evidence that Sudeikis is leaving "SNL" without any big farewell sketches? The Twitter post from Pharoah **https://twitter.com/JayPharoah read:

"Hader, Armisen & Sudekis the talent of those three and just them as people in general will be missed but we will be strong and carry on"

Not so fast ... This may be nothing but a mistake and rumors. The tweet, posted by Pharoah after the season finale, was quickly deleted with neither replacement nor explanation. Added to the lack of any word from "Saturday Night Live," and we have to think that Sudeikis' fate is still undetermined.

Teen Wolf - Full Episodes

"Teen Wolf" will return for the first half of its extended Season 3 on Monday, June 3. But you don't have to wait until then to get a glimpse of the werewolves, bloodshed and sexy young men without shirts. All of that is previewed in the third season trailer video.

It's almost as good as watching the full show! Just shorter.

When "Teen Wolf" returns for Season 3, it will be with a vastly expanded universe of werewolf insanity. Most of our old favorites will return, of course. Scott (Tyler Posey) will still be hanging out with Stiles (Dylan O'Brien) and pining over his star-crossed soulmate, Allison (Crystal Reed). Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) will remain sexy, and Lydia (Holland Roden) will remain awesome.

But there are also some new werewolves in town -- Alpha werewolves who have arrived with a deadly agenda. We get twin Alphas, Ethan and Aiden (Charlie and Max Carver); Deucalion (Gideon Emery), the sinister leader of the pack; Kali (Felisha Terrell); Ennis (Brian Patrick Wade), the most brutal of the Alphas; and Cora (Adelaide Kane), a young and tough Alpha with ties to Beacon Hills.

What are some of the highlights from the Season 3 trailer?

• It looks like Scott and Allison still have something going on. It takes a lot to kill the Romeo and Juliet of this series, doesn't it?
• Best single line, even out of context: "I want one." -- Lydia (you just know she's talking about a boy)
• You can tell Deucalion is evil because he has a British accent and wears sunglasses in a dark location. Also, he's telling Derek to kill people.
• Is that Mrs. McCall getting her throat slit? So not okay ...
• "Don't stop them. Lead them." Yay! The mysterious vet is back!
• Many, many handsome young fellows have their shirts off. Never change, "Teen Wolf." Never change!
  

Although the third season doesn't premiere until June 3, MTV has many ways for fans to catch up and to enjoy the crazy brilliance of "Teen Wolf" beforehand. On Monday, May 27, MTV will air "Teen Wolf: Back to the Pack," a catch-up special for the first two seasons with behind-the-scenes interviews with the cast and a sneak peek. Then, on Monday, June 3, the network will marathon Season 2 as a lead-up to the premiere. Tyler Posey, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden and Daniel Sharman (Isaac) will be on-hand to offer additional insights throughout the day.

Alternatively, you can re-watch all of the first two seasons on MTV.com, Netflix, Hulu, iTunes, Amazon, Xbox or xfinity.tv. That should cover it!

Before "Star Wars Episode VII" hits theaters in 2015, you'll get to see another product of the marriage of Disney and Lucasfilm.

A new animated series called "Star Wars Rebels" is set to make its debut in the fall of 2014. As first reported by EW, the show will air its premiere on the Disney Channel before moving to Disney XD for its series run.

The show is set in the time between "Revenge of the Sith" and "A New Hope," which should give the show lots of material to mine as the Empire consolidates power and the Rebellion begins to take shape. There's no word yet on whether the show will follow characters "Star Wars" fans already know, introduce new ones or do some of both.

You will, however, see some familiar-looking objects. Executive producer Dave Filoni ("Star Wars: The Clone Wars") says in the video below -- with drawings of TIE Fighters on the board next to him -- that the show is drawing on the original trilogy, and some of the concept art produced for it, in creating the show's visuals.

Filoni's fellow exec producers are writer Simon Kinberg ("Sherlock Holmes," "Mr. and Mrs. Smith") and animation veteran Greg Weisman ("Young Justice," "Gargoyles").

Take a look at Filoni explaining some of the ideas behind "Star Wars Rebels" below. Are you excited for the new series?

Ready or not, it's check-out time for "Bates Motel" Season 1. A&E's quirky thriller pulls back the curtain on its season finale, "Midnight," tonight and promises to reveal new information about the mysterious past of Norma Bates.

"You'll discover some things about Norma in the [finale] that'll make you jump," co-star Nestor Carbonell told us on the red carpet at the show's recent Paley Center event in Los Angeles.

Executive producer Kerry Ehrin confirms the finale contains a "little bit of everything" "Bates" fans have come to expect from the series: twists, turns, sex, violence, suspense and dark humor. And yes, a peek into Norma's past, "You'll learn a little more about Norma and what makes Norma Norma, in kind of a profound way," Ehrin says.

And how does Vera Farmiga -- whose brilliant portrayal of Norma has been the standout of a very fun first season -- feel about the revelations? "I'm realizing in serial television you don't have all the answers in the beginning," Farmiga says. "All of a sudden in episode 10 you have a new clue and you think, 'Oh, I could've changed something and I could've altered my performance this way and this way.' I'm just so hard on myself."

But Farmiga adds that not knowing every twist in advance can be an advantage in playing a woman who prefers to keep her past buried. "With Norma I think all of it works," Farmiga says. "This is a woman that has a floodgate that holds back a lifetime of sadness and anger and insecurity and a lot of stuff. She's always just damning things up, rolling up her sleeves, chin up, that's how she's learned to persevere."

The "Bates Motel" finale premieres tonight at 10 p.m. ET on A&E.

Fast National ratings for Sunday, May 19, 2013

The Billboard Music Awards brought in their biggest total audience in 12 years and their best 18-49 rating in a decade Sunday, carrying ABC to a ratings win for the night.

"Motive" is the latest police procedural to grace the small screen, but ABC's new cop drama isn't the typical "whodunnit." Instead, the show reveals right at the top who the killer and victim are, leading the viewers to watch as the cops figure out the whys and wherefores of the crime.

Lauren Holly ("Picket Fences") talks with Zap2it about the throwback feel to the show and the great way it handles female relationships in a male-dominated field.

"'Motive' seems like such a tiny idea, but it's so unique. It changes the whole genre. It's amazing how different it seems," says Holly. "I love that when you first meet the killer and the victim, a lot of times you can't imagine how their paths could cross. It's really fun to see how that transpires."

"And then when you think you have it figured out, there's yet another surprise," she continues. "It's kind of old-school television to me, like a 'Columbo' or something ... Yet it's shot in such a way that it looks very cool and modern."

On the show, Holly plays Dr. Betty Rogers, the medical examiner for the department -- a feisty redhead who certainly enjoys the men around her, but also considers herself a vital part to the crime-solving.

"I think, personally, that [Dr. Rogers] considers herself a detective," says Holly. "It's just that her crime scene happens to be a body."

"She seems to have a fancy for men in uniform, like policemen or firemen, ... [and] she likes the hours it affords her, because she has a very active personal life," Holly laughs.

So, we have to ask -- are there any glimpses into Dr. Betty's personal life on the show?

"It's heading that way. You get a little more and more and more, by the end of the first season -- she's definitely prepping for something, I'll put it to you that way. But you'll have to wait for the finale for that," teases Holly.

However, male-female relationships aren't the only thing happening for Dr. Rogers on the show. She also has a great working relationship with Detective Angie Flynn (Kristin Lehman, pictured, right), which Holly tells us is refreshing in its simplicity.

"It's not made a big deal of. It's just they both respect each other and like each other. Maybe get together outside of work," says Holly.

"Sometimes they tend to make female relationships on shows -- you pay too much attention to them. Either it's so good, like that's not usual, or they're so competitive, like that is," she continues. "When the truth is, these are just two women who like each other and work together. It's simple and I think that's kind of cool, actually."

"Motive" premieres in a special sneak peek on Monday, May 20 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC, before moving to its regular timeslot on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT. For more information, check out ABC's official site.

Here's a collection of our favorite GIFs from the night -- which one do you like best?

Neither Sansa nor Tyrion seem to be particularly happy about their wedding in last night's "Game of Thrones" episode, "Second Sons." Sansa didn't get to marry the handsome prince she always dreamed of, while Tyrion was forced to marry a child who doesn't love him.

But what about Shae? Sibel Kekilli's character has been an interesting development this season as she continues to be loyal to her secret lover Tyrion but also has become closer with her mistress Sansa. Zap2it recently had the chance to speak with Kekilli via e-mail and ask her about how her character responded to the news that her lover was marrying the woman she works for. Needless to say, Shae wasn't pleased.

Zap2it: What was going through Shae's mind when she first heard Tyrion was going to marry Sansa?
Sibel Kekilli: She definitely does not like that idea at all. Now she feels put back into her former role as a mere whore for Tyrion. She is hurt and disappointed once more in her life.

Why was it important for Shae and Sansa to grow closer in Season 3?
As Sansa's maiden, Shae is always close to her and knows most of her thoughts and actions. Shae became the only person whom Sansa can trust. Shae is taking care of Sansa like an older sister.

How will this marriage affect Shae's relationship with Tyrion? With Sansa?
Uh, that's a bit early to answer that question before the whole series is shown on the screen! I guess it's not getting easy for anyone.

Did you realize you would be a part of a love triangle going into this show?
No. As with almost everything in this show, you cannot foresee the ending, which is certainly one out of many reasons why this show is so successful. Not even the characters know whether they will survive the next season or not. And to be honest, it's not really a love triangle. It's Tyrion's commitment to his duties.

How would you describe Shae's role in Season 3?
First of all, she remains true to herself as she did in the past two seasons. Yet, it's going be a bit more complicated for her and she has to act deliberately.

What has been your favorite scene to shoot so far this season?
I think the golden chain scene is pretty impressive. So Tyrion gets to know that he cannot buy her.

How has your relationship with Peter Dinklage evolved since Season 1?
Actually we have gotten along very well from the very beginning. I think I can call us friends. Meanwhile I do understand all his jokes. [Winks]

Who is the funniest person you've worked with on "Game of Thrones" when the cameras aren't rolling? What's your favorite behind-the-scenes Peter Dinklage story?
Conleth [Hill] who plays Lord Varys and Peter are really funny. Peter once was asked by Turkish fans in Croatia if I am on the set as well. I could not stop laughing. They asked him, the main character of the season, if I would be on the set ... normally it should be the other way round.

Would you recommend fans read the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series in addition to watch the show? Have you read the books?
Of course they should watch it. HBO and the producers as well as George R. R. Martin did a great job in transforming the books into a script. And they certainly will encounter some differences. Personally I have not read the books so that I'm not affected by them because my role differs from the books quite a lot.

If you could have your way, who would you like to see end up on the Iron Throne?
Of course Tyrion and Shae. That is an idea that I would really appreciate.

"Game of Thrones" airs Sundays on HBO at 9 p.m. ET.

In the trippiest "Mad Men" episode since last season's "Far Away Places," key players from both SCDP and CGC toiled through a manic drug-fueled weekend, Sally dealt with an unexpected guest at Don's apartment and Cosgrove showed off a surprising proficiency for tap dancing.

"The Crash" was a bizarre, funny and frequently disorienting hour, and while it didn't dig deep into many characters, it did reveal another important chapter from Don's past.

[Note: In the spirit of showrunner Matthew Weiner declaring that this season is about Dr. Arnold Rosen telling Don, "People will do anything to alleviate their anxiety," we're tracking the happiness of key characters week by week.]

The "Mad Men" happiness index, week seven:

1) Roger: Pretty much everyone at SCDP-CGC (still without an official name) is completely exhausted from dealing with the demands of Chevy. Not Roger.

2) Ginsberg: A sober Ginsberg is a happy Ginsberg: "I believe I'm the only person in the Time Life building not out of his mind!" But are we ever going to find out what happened with his blind date?

3) Betty: Betty didn't have much to do beyond complain about Sally, Megan and Don, but considering that's one of her favorite pastimes she seemed to handle it relatively well. Plus, she's lost weight and gone back to blonde -- obviously in anticipation of Henry Francis' run for office.

4) Stan: Other than Don, Stan was most effected by Dr. Hecht's "energy serum" -- running through the office, challenging colleagues to arm wrestling and offering himself up for target practice. But in a tender moment with Peggy he revealed both his sexual desire for her (or is she just in the right place at the right time?) and the grief he feels over the loss of a 20-year-old cousin in Vietnam. He eventually finds an accepting partner in Frank Gleason's daughter Wendy (Alexa Nikolas).

5) Sally: We haven't seen much of Sally this season, but she popped back up in a major way when Megan left her alone and in charge of Bobby and Gene at the apartment. Enter disheveled yet kindly home invader Ida (Davenia McFadden), who actually manages to convince Sally she's someone from Don's past. Viewers could be forgiven for momentarily falling for the ruse as well. We know a lot more about Don's childhood than Sally does, but would it really be surprising for any total stranger to turn up on his doorstep and say they knew him when? At least Sally probably gets another cute outfit out of the whole freaky encounter.

6) Cosgrove: The normally happy-go-lucky "Kenny" Cosgrove could be nearing his breaking point in Detroit, and literally did break (or injure) a leg in that Impala joy ride crash. Fortunately, it didn't stop him from tap dancing up a storm outside Don's office -- as Dawn looked in on astonishment, wondering what the hell was going on.

7) Peggy: The merger has basically flipped Peggy's world upside down, and now she's sharing an office with Don, Ted and Stan. Between trying to console Ted, rebuff Stan's advances and feeling alarmed over Don's increasingly erratic behavior, Peggy's worklife has clearly become far more complicated than she would prefer.

8) Sylvia: She tried to break it off with Don gracefully last week, but he apparently can't take no for an answer. Instead, he lingers outside her apartment and tries to seduce her back when she calls his office. All Sylvia wanted was to enjoy her affair, but now she has to worry about Don doing something stupid and Abe finding out. At least until the end of the episode, when it seems like Don has turned a corner and won't even acknowledge her presence.

9) Ted: The most broken up about Frank Gleason's death, Ted spent most of the episode in mourning and completely avoided Jim Cutler's doctor. He came back to work on Monday with no idea of what transpired ("Half of this work is gibberish, Chevy is spelled wrong!"), but more reason than ever to be worried about the fragile merger. And there's something going on with his wife that we don't know about just yet.

10) Don: As with most "Mad Men" episodes, "The Crash" really comes down to Don, who appears to be spiraling out of control over the twin frustrations of Sylvia ending their relationship and Chevy's fussy decision making process. Already battling a wicked cough, Dr. Hecht's shot sends Don straight into orbit, flashing back to his time in the whorehouse when seemingly sweet prostitute Ms. Swenson (Megan Ferguson) nursed him through a cold and then molested him. She's ultimately thrown out by Uncle Mack (for reasons not entirely clear but unrelated to Don), but not before she spills the beans about sleeping with young Don, who earns a beating from Abigail.

Back in the present and on a weekend high, Don can barely keep track of time but convinces himself he's found the answer to the ad man's version of the meaning of life. Everything Don says somehow makes sense to Ginsberg, but not to Peggy who can't believe Don spent an entire weekend at the office without anything to show Chevy for it. Don bottoms out by collapsing in his apartment after hearing the news about Sally's encounter with Ida, and reawakens as Don the artistic crusader -- refusing to be a slave to the almighty dollar and taking himself off Chevy until they're ready to accept an idea. "Every time we get a car, this place turns into a whorehouse!"

Falling off the index: Pete has been routinely vying with Don for season's most miserable character but he only popped up for one very brief scene here, while it was another one of those entirely Joan-free episodes.

Look back at this season's "Mad Men" happiness index: week five, week four, week three, week two and week one.

If Sansa ever had any hope that a knight in shining armor would save her from all her troubles, that should have been duly quashed in "Second Sons." "Game of Thrones" followed through on one of four promised weddings in this week's episode, making Sansa go from a Stark to a Lannister in one sad affair.

Now that Sansa has tied the knot with Tyrion, it remains to be seen if Cersei can somehow get out of her marriage with Loras, if Margaery still walks down the aisle with Joffrey and if Edmure will be able to successfully marry one of Walder Frey's daughters. With only two episodes left to go in Season 3, there are still a lot of loose ends to tie up and apparently no happy marriages in store for anyone.

Here's what happened in "Game of Thrones" Season 3, episode 8, "Second Sons."

Off the Kingsroad

"Second Sons" opens with Arya awakening as the Hound's prisoner. Despite finding herself in a worse situation than she was with the Brotherhood, her rebellious spirit has not been destroyed. Instead Arya tries to kill the Hound with a rock while he's sleeping -- except, of course, that he's not sleeping. Instead of attacking her, the Hound welcomes Arya to try to kill him with the threat of breaking both her hands if she fails. The Hound seems to welcome a chance at death now, though he's still going to do whatever he can to find a place in the world.

What that seems to mean now is that he wants to deliver Arya to gain a ransom. In a twist, Sandor Clegane reveals that he is bringing Arya to the Twins to meet her mother Catelyn and brother Robb, instead of selling her out to Cersei and Joffrey. He also tells her how he was Sansa's ally (of sorts), though Arya still seems unconvinced. She worships death, after all, and includes the Hound in her nightly prayers.

Across the Narrow Sea

World, meet Daario Naharis. Daario Naharis, meet the world. Daenerys meets her newest ally in the form of the sellsword, though she doesn't realize it at first. He is a member of the Second Sons mercenary company that was hired to protect Yunkai, and he and Dany meet when she invites their commanders to her tent so she can attempt to win them over. Though she seemingly does not sway the other two leaders, Daario finds himself intrigued by her because he fights for beauty.

Dany inspires the same loyalty in her followers that she does in Daario. Grey Worm, Barristan and Jorah are all offended by the way the Second Sons' leader treats her, but it's Daario who ultimately does something about it. When he is tasked with sneaking into Dany's camp and killing her, he ends up beheading his other two allies instead. He does sneak into Dany's camp while she is bathing, but only to prove that he has sided with her by presenting the Mother of Dragons with the two heads.

Daario is an interesting change for Dany. He's young, like her, and also a handsome face. He is different from anyone she has ever dealt with before, and his smooth tongue -- he swears his loyalty and heart to her, after all -- is something she's rarely had to deal with. Actor Ed Skrein is a welcome addition to Dany's storyline, as he looks like he will mix things up for the Khaleesi just when she was beginning to get comfortable with her success. It will be interesting to see how Yunkai responds to losing the Second Sons to Dany.

At Dragonstone

Poor, poor Gendry. The bastard son of Robert Baratheon has been cast a bad lot in life, and it only got worse the second Melisandre bought him from the Brotherhood Without Banners. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't see Melisandre's true motivations for bringing him to Dragonstone until it's too late. She wants to sacrifice him to offer the Lord of the Light the king's blood he requires to kill more in the name of Stannis Baratheon, but even Stannis has a problem with killing an unsuspecting "lamb."

That's why Stannis turns to the still-imprisoned Davos to hear a voice of reason that will convince him not to let Gendry die. Davos realizes Stannis' game, and seems to say that the god Melisandre worships is not real. Of course, both he and Stannis know that's not the case, which is why Melisandre needs Gendry's blood to help Stannis' cause to begin with.

Spoiler alert: Gendry gets to live. Instead of killing the bastard like she originally planned, Melisandre leeches Gendry -- but not before having sex with him because why not, Joe Dempsie's a babe. Melisandre painfully attaches the leeches to Gendry's chest and penis, and then has Stannis cast them into the brazier and wish death on three men: Joffrey Baratheon, Balon Greyjoy and Robb Stark.

Will Gendry's blood be enough to appease the Lord of Light? Hopefully not, but the audience has already seen the power of the god to do what it deems is right when he killed Renly Baratheon and resurrected Beric Dondarrion. At least Davos is in a better situation than he was earlier in the season, as Stannis ends up freeing him from prison (finally) and the Onion Knight is making some progress in learning how to read.

At King's Landing

As Theon's torturer told him in "The Climb," "If you think that this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention." That same lesson can be applied to Sansa, who finally gets married off in "Second Sons." Tyrion Lannister is the lucky groom, though he is clearly as unhappy about the match as she is. He tries to tell her that prior to their marriage, and hopefully Sansa understands that they're in the same boat. Both parties look mortified when they have to tie the knot in the Great Sept, and Joffrey revels in getting to torture both of them. From walking Sansa down the aisle to removing Tyrion's stepping stool so he couldn't put the wedding cloak on Sansa, the king of Westeros continues to prove that he's the absolute worst ever.

With Sansa and Tyrion's wedding complete, there's still Margaery's upcoming wedding to Joffrey and Cersei's planned marriage to Loras to get through. Lady Olenna hilariously pokes fun at how complicated those unions will make the Tyrell and Lannister family trees, but it's Margaery who feels the burn when she tells Cersei that they should be friends because they will soon be "sisters." Cersei counters by telling Margaery the story behind the "Rains of Castamere," a song that has repeatedly popped up this season. The song is about how the Lannisters slaughtered House Reyne when the wealthy family tried to rebel against them -- a lesson that Cersei clearly means to apply to House Tyrell.

Sansa's unhappiness doesn't end when her marriage is finalized, unfortunately. Tyrion gets insanely drunk at their wedding party and then, when Sansa tries to retire to her bedroom, Joffrey threatens to rape her. Meanwhile Tywin orders Tyrion to consummate his marriage to Sansa despite the fact that she is only 14, and then Joffrey humiliates them all when he demands the public bedding ceremony begin in front of everyone at the party. It's at that point that Tyrion finally snaps, threatening to cut off Joffrey's genitalia if the king tries to force him and Sansa to have sex. No wonder Joffrey screams, "What did you say?"

Tywin ends up diffusing the situation and Tyrion and Sansa go to their joint bedchamber. Though they begin to prepare for their wedding night, Tyrion can't go through with it and says he won't have sex with Sansa until she wants him to. And if she never does? "And so my watch begins," he says, quoting the Night's Watch oath before passing out in a chair.

So despite the fact they are unfortunately wed, there is no wedding night for Sansa and Tyrion. That's something Shae is clearly pleased about when she comes to clean the chamber the next morning and finds no sign of sex or a lost virginity on Tyrion's bed. Maybe things actually could end up good for Sansa and Tyrion -- if Sansa realizes how good Tyrion actually is for her.

North of the Wall

It seems like there's some flirtation blossoming between Sam and Gilly as they continue their walk south to the Wall. The duo finds shelter in an abandoned house, and continues to grow closer as they sit around a fire. That shelter is soon interrupted by a massive amount of crows sitting on a weirwood tree outside the home. The crows foretell the arrival of a White Walker, which comes at Sam and shatters his sword. When the White Walker tries to steal Gilly's baby from her, Sam attacks it with a piece of the obsidian he found and causes the beast to turn to ice and shatter. If Sam had realized how useful the material was earlier he likely could have saved a lot of Night's Watch men, but at least he knows how to defend Gilly and himself going forward.

Fun facts:

- Daenerys is always meant to find Daario attractive, but in the George R.R. Martin novels he looks a bit different than he does in the show. He is said to have blue dyed hair, a beard split into three points and some very curly gold-painted mustachios. Let's just say we're happy about his new look.

- In the novels, Sam discovers the helpful qualities of obsidian shortly after the White Walkers attack the Fist of the First Men and before he arrives at Craster's Keep and meets up with the other surviving members of the Night's Watch. His defeat of one of the creatures earns him the nickname "Sam the Slayer," which is a nice change from "Ser Piggy."

- In addition to the episode's title referring to the mercenary band, it also applies to Tyrion and the Hound both being their father's second sons.

Best lines:

The Hound of his changed loyalties: "F*** Joffrey, f*** the queen."

Daenerys of the Second Sons: "A man who fights for gold can't afford to lose to a girl."

Melisandre of killing Gendry: "If the lamb sees the knife, she panics. Her panic seeps into her meat, darkens it, fouls the flavor."

Davos to Stannis: "I think mothers and fathers made up the gods because they want their children to sleep through the nights."

Cersei to Margaery: "If you ever call me sister again I'll have you strangled in your sleep."

Sam to Gilly: "I suppose it's a rather philosophical difference between a wink and a blink."
