Bull Series Details, Courtesy of CBS:
Bull stars Michael Weatherly as Dr. Jason Bull in a drama inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw, the founder of one of the most prolific trial-consulting firms of all time. Brilliant, brash and charming, Dr. Bull is the ultimate puppet master as he combines psychology, human intuition and high-tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick. His personal life proves harder to manage as he tries to live a healthier lifestyle following a heart attack and learns he is expecting a child with his ex-wife.
Bull employs an enviable team of experts at Trial Analysis Corporation to shape successful narratives down to the very last detail. This includes his quick-witted former brother-in-law, Benny Colón, a lawyer who acts as defense attorney in the company’s mock trials; Marissa Morgan, a neurolinguistics expert from the Department of Homeland Security who monitors shifting jury reactions in real-time for Bull; former NYPD detective Danny James, the firm’s tough but relatable investigator; Taylor Rentzel, a working mother and former colleague of Marissa’s who is an expert in coding and computer hacking; and Chunk Palmer, a former all-American lineman and stylist-turned-law student who helps clients prepare their look and testimony for trial.
In high-stakes trials, Bull’s combination of remarkable insight into human nature, three Ph.D.’s and a top-notch staff creates winning strategies that tip the scales of justice in his clients’ favor.
The CW’s The Flash star Hartley Sawyer teased that “Crisis on Infinite Earths” is going to change all of the characters in the Arrow-verse forever. “It’s going to be a tremendous game-changer in terms of all the geography and how all this Arrow-verse looks. I know people say this kind of stuff a lot, but it is going to change things forever. There’s no doubt about it,” said Sawyer.
Hartley Sawyer spoke about the sixth season of The Flash while at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con. Season six premieres on Tuesday, October 8, 2019 at 8pm ET/PT.
Will we finally see Ralph investigate what happened to Sue Dearbon? It seemed to be teased in the season five finale.
Hartley Sawyer: “We saw that last year in the finale. We saw the Dearbon file and we’re going to pursue that. I can’t say too much about that. But, that’s a thing. That’s now a thing that we’re finally doing.
That’s probably the number question that I got since I started playing this character was, ‘What about Sue?’ And we knew when we started in season four with Ralph if things go well, if he fits into the team, if it all works and all of that…all roads lead to Sue Dibny. I mean, Sue Dearbon first.
That’s just something that I’ve been excited about, but I like that we did not put that in any earlier than we’re bringing it in now. I really, really do. I think it would have been too soon. He’s got to get ready for that. He’s got to mature for that. Now he’s there; he’s ready for that. He’s ready for love.”
That was a great final scene between Ralph and Wells at the end of last season.
Hartley Sawyer: “I really, really enjoyed doing that. You know, any chance I get to work with Tom (Cavanagh) is amazing because I learn a lot as an actor because his instincts are so good, and his abilities are so good. I think we all know that with the five billion characters that he plays on the show.
The fun thing about working with Tom is he’s so quick and he’s so witty, especially with that character, that you just had to keep up. I like that because I love doing some improv and I love just trying to keep up with that stuff. That was super fun for me. I love those characters together. I also love how that kind of became what it became at the end of the season, a mutually endearing kind of thing.”
Has Ralph’s relationship with Cisco changed now that Cisco gave up his powers?
Hartley Sawyer: “You know, I don’t think it’s the strain on the friendship. […] From Ralph’s standpoint…I think he said this last year to Killer Frost…people should have a choice if they want to take that or not, if they want to participate in being a metahuman or not. I believe he said people should have a choice. And so, I think for him, if his friend is happy and thinks this is the right choice for him, he supports that. I don’t think it would be a black mark on their friendship or anything like that.
They really bonded last year a lot and those scenes were really, really fun to shoot and really fun stuff to do with those two guys together. But I think what’s funny about Ralph and Cisco is they’re so different in so many ways but they have a tremendous amount in common, actually, just in terms of the way they kind of deal with things with humor and sarcasm. It’s really fun to work together.”
Hartley Sawyer: “He is, and I can’t say too much about it. Yeah, he is, but I can’t say too much more about it. But that’s going to be a thing. He’s also going to be a lot more independent this year than he’s ever been. In the sense of, ‘I’m going to go solve whatever I’m going to solve. I’m going to go figure this out.’ But yes, there is going to be a wingman.”
Ralph’s grown so much throughout the seasons. Will we maybe see Ralph Dibny the leader in the future?
Hartley Sawyer: “Maybe on a long enough timeline. That’s above my paygrade. The one thing I can tell you is I love the progression. I had a ball playing this guy in season four and doing the Tex Avery version of him as a total wacky, walking Looney Tunes. And, I love still doing that stuff when those elements come in when he’s out in the field.
I love the whole progression from the beginning to the end of season four. And you know the end of season four when he died and The Thinker took him and then he came back, that obviously changed the guy and changed him tremendously. It allowed us in season five to start him where he was, a little more mature. And then he grew throughout season five. We’re going to see more of that in season six.
He’s going to be challenged by ‘Crisis’ – what’s going to happen in the crossover is going to challenge everybody tremendously. Ralph is going to be particularly affected by what might take place during ‘Crisis’ and that’s going to change him.
And then the introduction of Sue which we’ll get to at some point. You’ve got to change when that happens, too. You’ve got to evolve when that happens to you.”
Rizzoli & Isles star Sasha Alexander guest stars on season two episode three of CBS’s popular crime drama, FBI. Episode three, “American Idol,” was directed by Milena Govich from a script by Mo Masi. “American Idol” – the episode, not the series – will air on Tuesday, October 8, 2019 at 9pm ET/PT.
Additional season two episode three guest stars include Fernando Funan Chien, Guy Lockard, Meeya Davis, Terron Jones, Paul Hickert, Jennifer Blood, and Carmen Lamar Gonzalez. Jacob Knoll, Max Wolkowitz, Cindy Cheung, Sarah Nina Hayon, Greg Brostrom, Nicholas Baroudi, and Richard Andrew Torres also guest star in “American Idol.”
The season two cast includes Missy Peregrym as Special Agent Maggie Bell, Zeeko Zaki as Special Agent Omar Adom ‘OA’ Zidan, Ebonée Noel as Kristen Chazal, and Jeremy Sisto as Jubal Valentine.
“American Idol” Plot – After a front-running female presidential candidate, Valerie Caldwell (Sasha Alexander), is targeted with a car bomb, OA and Maggie must hurry to track down the bomber before they strike again. The case leads them to wonder whether this person is targeting Caldwell for her political aspirations or something else.
The FBI Plot, Courtesy of CBS:
“FBI is a fast-paced drama about the inner workings of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This elite unit brings to bear all their talents, intellect and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep New York and the country safe. Born into a multigenerational law enforcement family, Special Agent Maggie Bell commits deeply to the people she works with as well as those she protects. Her partner is Special Agent Omar Adom ‘OA’ Zidan, a West Point graduate via Bushwick who spent two years undercover for the DEA before being cherry-picked by the FBI.
Overseeing them is Special Agent in Charge, Isobel Castille, who operates under intense pressure and has undeniable command authority. The team also includes Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, the nerve center of the office whose ability to easily relate to and engage with both superiors and subordinates makes him a master motivator. Kristen Chazal is the team’s most valued resource, a brilliant analyst recruited straight out of university who can piece together the big picture faster than anyone. These first-class agents tenaciously investigate cases of tremendous magnitude, including terrorism, organized crime and counterintelligence.”

Season two episode four of FX’s gritty drama Mayans M.C. found EZ and Angel working out a deal of sorts with Happy for information on who ordered their mother’s mother. Angel challenged the loyalty of dog-loving Mayans M.C. fans by threatening Happy’s pooch but, fortunately, the deal was struck without any harm done to the four-legged innocent bystander.
Season two episode four also found Adelita being taken into custody by the mercs, with Miguel forced to pretend he was hunting her down rather than working with the outlaw. Season two episode five picks up not long after Adelita’s capture as Potter (Ray McKinnon) and his minions arrive at the mercs’ headquarters to discover she’s being kept locked in a dog cage. Potter’s pissed about her treatment and apologizes, but Adelita refuses to allow him to think of himself as her savior. After she’s taken to the bathroom to freshen up, Potter asks his second-in-command if she finds it strange Miguel Galindo chose to track Adelita on his own. He’s no longer sure Galindo’s completely on his side.
Potter decides they’ll take Adelita back to the U.S. the following day and asks the mercs to work up a few routes/options. They must be hyper-vigilant in case they’re being watched.
Potter has a chat with Adelita (Carla Baratta) and assures her he won’t put her baby at risk. However, he then proceeds to directly contradict that statement. She’ll be taken to a secure facility until she gives birth. The baby will then be used as leverage to make her talk. He’s fully aware that’s the only option since torturing her won’t extract the truth.
Meanwhile, Miguel (Danny Pino) returns home and explains what happened to Emily. He credits Adelita with saving the situation while sacrificing herself. He’s upset he couldn’t save her, and Emily reminds him it was Adelita’s choice. Miguel knows what Potter’s capable of and gets emotional when he talks about what Potter could do to the baby.
Miguel takes all the blame, despite the fact Adelita is a powerful woman fully capable of making her own choices. Emily (Sarah Bolger) senses there’s a strong connection between Miguel and Adelita and asks if he loves her. He adamantly denies he does. “I went from hating Adelita to understanding her and, eventually, respecting her,” explains Miguel. It’s her selfless need to help the poor of Mexico that completely won him over. He admits he wanted to feel what she does as she helps those in need.
“I wanted to be around Adelita, but it wasn’t about her. It was about me,” confesses Miguel.
With everything going on with Potter, his life has dramatically changed. But, Emily’s not buying it. She used to be his touchstone and now she’s not. She’s observed the changes and how the cartel’s business has increased (as have Miguel’s profits) since making the deal with Potter.
He apologizes and admits he didn’t see it that way. A call from Potter interrupts their heart-to-heart.
Elsewhere, Angel (Clayton Cardenas) and EZ (JD Pardo) finally make it back to the Mayans’ garage in Santo Padre. Bishop (Michael Irby) immediately confronts them about the Swole Boys and when the Reyes brothers admit they ran into the Boys on the way up the coast, Bishop, Tranq (Frankie Loyal), and Taza (Raoul Max Trujillo) inform them they had a run-in on their way home.
EZ attempts to defend his brother as Bishop lays into him about not thinking before he acts. Angel doesn’t need his brother as backup and tells him to shut up, calling him Prospect rather than EZ. Angel accepts the blame, says it’s not EZ’s fault, and wants to let the table decide on his punishment.
Bishop and his men are pulled away from the dressing down by a call from Miguel Alvarez. When they walk about, Angel lightens the mood by joking with his younger brother about getting his jaw cracked again.
The call was to inform Bishop the Mayans need to provide Miguel backup since the mercs grabbed Adelita.
Felipe (Edward James Olmos) chooses the worst possible moment to show up at the garage. Angel’s just learned his baby mama is in the enemies’ hands. Plus, he’s only had a day to digest the news his father used to be a Federale.
EZ quietly warns his brother not to cause a scene. Instead of screaming at this dad, he sobs and leans into his shoulder for comfort.
The club meets up with Miguel and Alvarez in the tunnel, and Miguel explains that Potter’s request for the cartel’s help in transporting Adelita is a test. Miguel’s figured out Potter’s setting him up. With rebellions on the rise and little actually accomplished from their partnership, Potter should be at a point where he’s questioning Miguel’s commitment to their deal.
The dead mercs and Miguel being on the scene when Adelita was taken into custody are too coincidental. Miguel realizes Potter’s not sure what’s going on.
Paloma and her people greet Miguel and his group in the tunnel. She apologizes they’re meeting under these circumstances, and Bishop introduces himself and his men. When they acknowledge they call her “The Saint,” she assures them it’s Adelita who deserves that title.
EZ and Angel aren’t with the group in the tunnel since they’re in trouble for the Swole Boys mess. They drink beers in EZ’s trailer and EZ assures his brother he’s there for him if he wants to talk about Adelita. (Angel still hasn’t told his family the baby’s his.) Angel changes the subject and asks what they should say to their dad about their mother’s murder. EZ thinks they should wait until they get more info from Happy about who ordered the killing.
The bros retrieve a beer and take it out to their father. They all sit on the tailgate of his truck and drink, and Felipe recognizes there’s something bothering his oldest son. They apologize to each other, and Felipe admits he should’ve paid more attention to Angel.
Angel, in a moment of self-reflection, says it wouldn’t have mattered. He was just looking for something to hate.
Felipe utters the truest line of the episode. “I guess we’re all a little f**ked up.”
Chucky (Michael Ornstein) pulls up and delivers the news Bishop wants everyone at the dress warehouse right now.
Miguel’s learned through his contact with the Mexican police that a unit’s been put on standby for the next 48 hours. Potter’s also manipulated police on the American side. He’s set it up so that there won’t be any cameras or records recording his movement of Adelita across the border.
They figure out the likely location of Potter’s crossing which narrows down the location of the safe house. That area only has a few small plots of land, and Paloma has been successful in using her contacts to narrow the possible locations even further. She was able to learn only three cash purchases of property from outside the state have occurred in the last month. From that, Miguel narrows the list to two likely locations.
Bishop hands out assignments and the only one unhappy is Angel. He doesn’t want to remain in the tunnel handling communications. Bishop reminds him about what happened with the Swole Boys and the fact he’s supposed to take a step back until the club votes on his punishment.
Angel refuses to obey orders. In a rage, he swats papers off the table and says to Bishop, “F**k you! You can’t stop me from doing this!”
Angel tells Bishop he’ll have to shoot him to stop him. Angel’s going to Mexico to find Adelita, no matter what Bishop says.
Bishop pulls Angel off to the side, demanding Angel settle whatever problem he has with him right now. Bishop assures Angel he’ll slice him up if he ever disrespects him again.
Angel, now completely out of control, makes a move but Bishop gets the better of him. No one interferes and Bishop has Angel by the neck when Angel finally blurts out, “It’s my kid!”
No one, not even EZ, had any idea. Bishop hops off Angel and helps him up. Angel apologizes and then explains they fell for each other while they were doing the relief runs. “We didn’t want it to step on business, so we kept it quiet,” says Angel.
EZ looks on in shock as his brother makes his confession. Angel adds that Adelita wanted it kept a secret, so no one knows he’s the father.
Bishop delivers a friendly punch to Angel in the neck (not hard) and calls him a shithead. The mood lightens as Bishop pulls Angel in for a hug.
Angel gets his wish and is given permission to join the group in the field.
Adelita’s right-hand man fills Bishop, Angel, and the guys in on what’s going down at the mercs’ place. They’re set up in a house not far from the mercs and can watch the vehicles coming and going from their position. Bishop instructs the man to gather his people and stay out of sight. The club will take the lead at this point while Adelita’s people remain safe.
Alvarez calls Miguel with the news they’ve confirmed the location of the safe house. He’ll call back later when he has more info.
After being told everyone’s in place, including the cartel, Potter gives the green light to put his plan in motion.
Adelita watches as the mercs prepare for the move. They pay off two local women who are also inside their temporary headquarters.
The Mayans watch from the nearby house and see six mercs on the move accompanied by a woman who appears to be pregnant. She’s covered with a hood so they can’t confirm it’s Adelita. Bishop and the club believe it’s a decoy because they’re heading west.
Angel grows anxious and begins to question their plan. He’s concerned they just let the real Adelita go without following her and thinks Miguel Galindo was wrong about Potter being suspicious of him. Bishop tells him if the mercs don’t leave soon in a second car, then they’ll decide what to do about the first caravan.
Angel’s anger escalates. He wants Álvarez to take down the first transport, but Bishop doesn’t give the order.
Angel steps out to cool off and he and EZ have another heart-to-heart. EZ assures Angel he’s a good brother and will be a good father, too. Angel allows himself to get emotional as he confesses he will probably screw things up. EZ points out that Angel’s ability to carry the secret and fulfill his promise to Adelita means he put his family first.
“Everyone talks about love and family. People don’t do what you’re doing, Angel, in any world,” says EZ. “If you ever forget that or have any doubt about how good you are, I’ll be there to slap you on the back of the head.”

Meanwhile, Potter meets up with Miguel as he’s leaving a store. (The club had asked Miguel to be out and about in the public while this was all going down.) Miguel pretends he didn’t expect to see Potter, and Potter claims his mind’s at ease now that he’s seen Miguel isn’t where he’s not supposed to be. They make small talk and Potter may actually be telling the truth when he says he feels he’s really in sync with Miguel at this point in their arrangement.
Oh, bad news for Miguel. Potter’s still suspicious. Potter calls his second-in-command and confesses he can’t read Miguel. He decides they may need to change their plans. They are now going to put scenario #3 in action.
Another group of mercs heads out with another pregnant lady. Bishop’s sure this is it and gives the order to the club to get ready to take down the vehicle.
Two vehicles carrying the club get in position and follow the car, prepared to make their move.
The pregnant lady is screaming about her baby in the backseat of the vehicle. Her water broke and the vehicle pulls over to help her. Her face is uncovered as they lay her on a blanket, and the Mayans realize the woman isn’t Adelita. They continue driving and don’t approach the mercs.
The two cars pull over a short while later and Angel can’t believe they followed the wrong car. Angel thinks they have to get Alvarez to move on the first caravan, but apparently that’s not easy given the traffic this time of day.
Suddenly, EZ realizes a station wagon he saw pulling up in front of the mercs’ place just as the club was leaving out the back didn’t slow down because kids were playing in the street. The station wagon must have been slowing down to pick up Adelita and the remaining mercs.
EZ remembers a man and woman inside the car, and Coco suggests the woman was one of Potter’s people. They figure out the station wagon will be heading south while also attempting to stay clear of the club and the cartel.
Once the car clears two towns, it will take route #2 to get over the border. Unfortunately, if Alvarez takes down the transport Potter will realize what’s going down and the cartel will pay the price.
EZ thinks they can catch the station wagon before Alvarez crosses the border. Bishop tells Angel to pick a crew and go retrieve Adelita.
The border wall’s getting a little facelift as Potter’s people attempt to slice open a hole to smuggle Adelita across unnoticed. The station wagon will arrive at the hole by nightfall, and it’s confirmed Adelita’s in the vehicle.
Alvarez continues to follow the first caravan as he receives word Adelita wasn’t in the second car. The men prepare for any action that may come their way.
EZ drives with Angel in the front seat as they attempt to intercept the station wagon. They spot it and fall in line behind it. The agents in the station wagon become suspicious of the two vehicles now following them and pull off the road. EZ and the other car follow them.
The agents call into Potter with the news they’re being pursued. Shots ring out while they’re on the phone. The two vehicles surround the station wagon and continue shooting. Coco (a sharpshooter) takes out the female agent in the passenger seat as the male agent continues to drive. Angel shoots him in the head, leaving no one at the wheel as the car speeds down the road.
EZ and the other driver gently bump the station wagon into place between them. They use their cars to try and slow the driverless vehicle. It’s not slowing and EZ notices a truck and construction equipment up ahead in their path.
He speeds up and turns right in front of the station wagon, forcing it to T-bone the driver’s side of his car. The station wagon comes to a stop and no one’s injured.
Angel races to free Adelita who’s in shock the club found her. She doesn’t want to escape; she’s sacrificing her freedom so that Potter will stop hunting down rebels. Adelita believes if Potter has her in custody, that will be the end of it.
Sirens wail in the distance as Adelita desperately attempts to get Angel and the club to leave. She begs Angel to keep her mission going, to keep helping the poor just as she was doing. She places Angel’s hand on her belly as Coco urges him to leave.
The sirens are getting closer as she holds Angel’s face and tells him she’ll be fine. EZ drags his brother away and the truck races off, leaving Adelita behind with the dead agents.
Elsewhere, Emily pays a visit to her family’s secure storage facility. There are boxes and books, as well as what appear to be antiques. She goes through a box, pausing to look at more photos of a younger Felipe.
Emily’s next stop is to visit Felipe at the butcher shop. He’s genuinely happy to see his son’s ex-girlfriend but then realizes whatever she’s come to talk about is serious. He closes up shop so they won’t be disturbed. She asks him if he knows what’s going on with Dita – Miguel’s mother – because she wants to be able to do the right thing. Emily explains she saw Felipe’s truck at Dita’s doctor’s office and figured out the two have been spending time talking. Felipe won’t reveal what she said, other than to say he knows as much information as Emily does.
Emily unwraps a package with photos of a younger Felipe with Dita. Emily calls him by his real name – Ignacio – and wants to know if he was working protection for Miguel’s father. She confesses she found all this information by looking through the family records in storage. The records included travel itineraries to NY, Venezuela, etc. that showed Felipe was Dita’s protector when she traveled.
Felipe says this info was buried in a box for a reason. The papers and photos should never have been discovered. He tells her to trust him when he says this history will only hurt those she loves.

Also, Magnum is frustrated when Higgins still won’t give him an answer to whether or not she will become his partner, and when Rick decides to make a bold career move, T.C. comes to the rescue.
The Series Description, Courtesy of CBS:
“Magnum P.I. is a modern take on the classic series centering on Thomas Magnum, a decorated former Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. A charming rogue, an American hero and a die-hard Detroit Tigers fan, Magnum lives in a guest cottage on Robin’s Nest, the luxurious estate where he works as a security consultant to supplement his P.I. business.
The “majordomo” of the property is Juliet Higgins, a beautiful and commanding disavowed MI:6 agent whose second job is to keep Magnum in line, with the help of her two Dobermans. When Magnum needs backup on a job, he turns to his trusted buddies and fellow POW survivors, Theodore “TC” Calvin, a former Marine chopper pilot who runs Island Hoppers, a helicopter tour business, and Orville “Rick” Wright, a former Marine door-gunner-turned-impresario of Oahu’s coolest nightclub and the most connected man on the island.
Suspicious of Magnum’s casual attitude and presence at his crime scenes, Detective Gordon Katsumoto finds that he and Magnum are more alike than either of them care to admit. One of Magnum’s biggest supporters is Teuila “Kumu” Tuileta, the unofficial “House Mom” and cultural curator of Robin’s Nest. With keys to a vintage Ferrari in one hand, aviator sunglasses in the other, and an Old Düsseldorf longneck chilling in the fridge, Thomas Magnum is back on the case!”
The CW’s Legacies creator Julie Plec promises season two of the supernatural series will feature surprising new relationships, more details on Landon’s powers, and the introduction of a very Damon Salvatore-ish vampire. At the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, Plec and producer Brett Matthews also teased that we could see some fan favorite supporting characters/creatures from season one return for the show’s second season.
The CW’s Legacies season two will premiere on October 10, 2019. New episodes will air on Thursdays at 9pm ET/PT.
What can you tease about the new characters?
Julie Plec: “We’ve got a good amount of new characters. The one that we’re most excited about that’s the most fun is, of course, a new vampire.”
Brett Matthews: “Sebastian.”
Julie Plec: “Who seems like incredibly Damon Salvatore, for lack of a better description. Smoky eyes, seductive ways, and sultry, sultry language which in our world – especially with characters like MG – is not going to fly. Because as we know, the gothic vampire tale is actually robbing a lot of women of their agency amongst other things. And so MG is going to keep this vampire honest and it’s not necessarily going to be a good friendship between the two of them.”
Will we see some more The Vampire Diaries alums this season?
Julie Plec: “We have a couple plans. That doesn’t mean that they come to fruition. But we have plans and we’re excited about those plans, so we’ll see. That becomes just a do they want to? Can they make it?”
Brett Matthews: “Did they just buy a house? That usually is the key component.”
Julie Plec: “Mortgage payment.”
Brett Matthews: “The door’s totally open and I think we’ve tried to really accommodate if somebody says, ‘Hey, I really want to do a thing.’ We try and figure out a story.”
Julie Plec: “For sure.”
What are the underlying themes of this season?
Julie Plec: “Well, the launch point for the season is really how do you fill a hole that you don’t know the source of. When you feel lost, when you feel isolated, when you feel alone but you can’t put your finger on why, what is it you do to find your own peace, to find your own happiness? Which I think is a fairly universal thing that we all go through. Just like when you feel that something’s not right and you take sort of small to extreme measures to fill that hole, whether it be in bad ways or in new ways. It’s finding something to fill you up.”
Brett Matthews: “You’re treating the symptoms, right? Rather than finding the actual cause.”
How will Landon’s powers as a Phoenix come into play this season?
Brett Matthews: “He’s so good at dying. That’s the best part, which is I’m sure a joke we make at some point. As far as I know, all he can do is die really well. I’m very curious to find out myself. I think that’s something that’s on our minds. What does it mean?”
Julie Plec: “I mean, Phoenix is when they rise from the ashes and spread their wings and fly. So, who knows? That guy could be capable of anything when we’re all done with him.”
Will there be new love interests you’re introducing?
Julie Plec: “Oh yeah. This season we’re really doubling down on the romantic stuff. Not necessarily all happy either. There’s going to be some unexpected breakups. There’s going to be some unexpected new relationships, new crushes. There’s going to be a lot of stuff that happens. Somebody trying to get the person they love and realizing that person was not meant to be theirs. Somebody losing someone they love and realizing they have to let them go. We’re having a lot of drama this season.”
Will we see characters like the Necromancer return?
Julie Plec: “We are planning a little bit of a greatest hits cameo over the course of the season. I feel like I’m not ruining anything when I say we might see our dragon again early on. There is definitely opportunity for these monsters in our story to occasionally be seen. But how, why, and when we will never tell.”
What about the possible return of Penelope? Were you expecting her to be so popular?
Julie Plec: “We wrote her to be popular. She was one of our favorite characters to write for. It was one of our favorite relationships to write for. And so, when you have a relationship that’s that successful, you do kind of wonder at what point you can return to it. And in the meantime, we’re going to have fun with Josie sort of rebounding from that heartbreak and moving forward in her life. What is she going to do to fill a hole that she’s got? She’s just at the beginning of exploring her sexuality so there’s all kinds of roads that she can travel in this season.”
How much of season two will be spent on developing or digging further into backstories?
Brett Matthews: “Maybe an episode or two.”
Julie Plec: “Yeah. We have more MG story that we want to tell about his family. Dig deeper with them. And then Kaleb actually this season is going to… We’re going to meet his sister. We’re going to meet his family. He’s going to take MG home for the summer and the two are going to set off on an attempt to have the best summer ever.
I think that we love those episodes where we get to see these characters before we knew them. And so that’s always in our bag of tricks to do.”
Which character’s journey are you most excited for fans to see this season?
Julie Plec: “Landon, for sure. Landon kind of starts this season as a reluctant leading man, a reluctant hero. Everyone thinks that he single-handedly destroyed Malivore and he has no idea how.”
Brett Matthews: “He feels like a fraud on some level.”
Julie Plec: “Feels like a fraud but boy is he popular now!”
You’re not supposed to play favorites but what character did you enjoy seeing grow the most throughout season one?
Brett Matthews: “Lizzie Saltzman. I think she had a pretty profound journey from self-centered to being actually a pretty good friend, from making peace with herself and accepting herself. Her journey was, I think, one of self-acceptance and accepting others at the same time, strangely.”
You have such a talented cast. Any plans for another musical episode?
Julie Plec: “We’ve not planned it yet, but it will happen. It will happen. It will either be another talent show or one day I aspire to a full musical episode like what Joss (Whedon) did with ‘Once More with Feeling.’ That being said, Joss wrote all of that and I can’t do that. But we have Thomas Brandon who’s on our writing staff who wrote the original lyrics and music for our talent show episode last year. So as long as we have him, I’m going to keep pressing.”
Brett Matthews: “And a years-worth of time. This season it’s like whenever we get bored and don’t have a scene, we just have Chris (Lee) sing something. (Laughing) So, it’s very simple. It’s like why is Kaleb singing again?!’”

The Series Description, Courtesy of CBS:
“Hawaii Five-O is a contemporary take on the classic series about an elite federalized task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the islands’ sun-drenched beaches. Detective Steve McGarrett, a decorated Naval officer turned cop, returned to Oahu after Hawaii’s former governor persuaded him to head up the new team: his rules, no red tape and full blanket authority to hunt down the biggest “game” in town.
Joining McGarrett are Detective Danny “Danno” Williams, a relocated ex-New Jersey cop who is committed to keeping the islands safe for his children; Captain Lou Grover, who formerly headed Hawaii’s SWAT unit; Jerry Ortega, the islands’ local conspiracy theorist; Tani Rey, a bold, recent police academy graduate; Junior Reigns, a former SEAL who comes to McGarrett looking for a job, Adam Noshimuri, a friend with old ties to a deadly crime family and Quinn Liu, a former Staff Sergeant with Army CID who was recently demoted for insubordination.
Helping them is Kamekona, a local entrepreneur who has his pulse on the Island; Sgt. Duke Lukela, a trusted member of the HPD; and medical examiner Dr. Noelani Cunha. The state’s brash Five-0 unit, who may spar and jest among themselves, remain determined to eliminate the seedy elements from the 50th state.”
