It’s too bad we’re going to have to wait a long time for the next Supernatural episode to recap, but we did get a good episode to leave us with. Season 15 episode 13 “Destiny’s Child” went a good way in not only bringing us back the Jack Kline we all love but also poked a bit more fun at the show’s multiverse.
We start things off in a weird way, as Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) are surprised to come across…themselves. Well, kind of themselves as it turns out an alternate Sam and Dean have escaped from their universe after Chuck ended it. However, these alternate guys – where Sam has a man-bun and Dean talks like a good-natured young boy, along with a Fiat that they drive – don’t stay long as they vanish as inexplicably as they arrive.
Billie (Lisa Berry) arrives to tell them that Jack just might be ready to kill God, but he needs to find the Occultum first and doesn’t really leave any clues as to what it is and where to find it. Castiel (Misha Collins) calls up a favor to find out that the Occultum’s whereabouts are known to Sister Anael, better known as the angel Jo.
Faced with being killed off by Sam and Dean, Jo reluctantly tells them she gave the Occultum to Ruby – Castiel very offhandedly reminds us it’s the same Ruby Sam had a fling with – but she stashed it in Hell before she was killed off.
The brothers head to Hell – it’s weird how casually they stroll in there these days considering it used to be such a huge deal at one time – but find out that Jo set them up as some demons attack the brothers. For once, though, we actually get to see these two win a fight without someone saving them, and they begin their climb back to Earth.
Meanwhile, Castiel has the still-soulless Jack (Alexander Calvert) kill him temporarily so he can go to The Empty and talk to Ruby. Castiel feels Jo’s story was off and plans on directly extracting information from Ruby over the Occultum. Problem is, The Shadow still doesn’t like Castiel one bit and appears in the form of Meg to antagonize him.
After finding Ruby, he learns that Jo had been the one to approach her, proposing that they move the Occultum to avoid the apocalypse. Promising her he’d try to find a way to release her from the Empty once Ruby tells him the location, Castiel is brought back to Earth by Jack before The Shadow can torture him.
Dean comes up with an idea to make the alternate Sam and Dean pose as them in case Chuck drops by to check up on them. Humorously, it turns out these two guys actually made hunting a business back in their reality, and are rich trust fund kids who constantly praise their version of John Winchester. Still, the new Sam and Dean turn out to enjoy the main universe’s lifestyles since they don’t have any surveillance on them and can lounge around doing whatever they want.
When Castiel, Sam, Jack, and Dean arrive at the spot of the Occultum, Jack eats the thing in order for it to transport him to…the Garden of Eden. As it turns out, the safest place to be is this place, and here Jack finally regains his soul.
Back home, Dean sends the alternate version of himself and Sam to Brazil to lay low, although he’s pretty pissed they drove the Impala around while he was gone. In the kitchen, Jack is distraught when his renewed conscience wracks him with guilt over having taken Mary’s life, asking the brothers to forgive him.
That’s that for now, and we have no word yet when Supernatural will return. Let’s hope the Coronavirus situation gets okay as soon as possible and we complete the last leg of this show to see where the finale leaves us.

Dermot Mulroney (My Best Friend’s Wedding) guest stars in Fox’s Prodigal Son season one episode 18. Episode 18, “Scheherazade,” will air on Monday, March 30, 2020 at 9pm ET/PT.
Michael Sheen stars as convicted serial killer Dr. Martin Whitly and Tom Payne plays Dr. Whitly’s conflicted son, Malcolm Bright. The cast also includes Bellamy Young as Jessica Whitly, Lou Diamond Phillips as Gil Arroyo, Halston Sage as Ainsley Whitly, Aurora Perrineau as Dani Powell, Frank Harts as JT Tarmel, and Keiko Agena as Edrisa Tanaka.
“Scheherazade” Plot – When an up-and-coming ballet dancer is mysteriously poisoned, the NYPD dives deep into the rigorous world of dance. Meanwhile, Jessica reunites with an old friend, socialite Nicholas Endicott (guest star Dermot Mulroney), and Bright and Eve turn to Martin for answers regarding the girl in the box.
Season One Details:
“Malcolm Bright (Payne) has a gift. He knows how killers think and how their minds work. Why? Back in the 1990s, his father was one of the worst, a notorious serial killer called ‘The Surgeon.’ So it makes sense Bright is the best criminal psychologist around; murder is the family business.
He will use his twisted genius to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers, all while dealing with a manipulative mother, annoyingly normal sister, a homicidal father still looking to bond with his prodigal son, and his own constantly evolving neuroses.
Meet the happy family. Dr. Martin Whitly (Sheen) is intelligent, wealthy, charismatic and also happens to be a predatory sociopath who killed at least 23 people. Bright’s mother, Jessica Whitly (Young), an elegant and WASPy New Yorker, wields sarcasm like a samurai sword and has an opinion on every aspect of Bright’s life.
Perhaps Bright’s only ally is his sister, Ainsley Whitley (Sage), a TV journalist who wishes her brother would “take a break from murder” and have a normal life.
Unfortunately for his sister, the only way Bright feels normal is by solving cases with the help of his longtime mentor, NYPD Detective Gil Arroyo (Phillips). Arroyo’s one of the best detectives around, and he expects no less from his team – Detective Dani Powell (Perrineau), a headstrong no-nonsense cop who quickly becomes impressed with Bright’s work; and Detective JT Tarmel (Harts), a born-and-bred New Yorker who questions whether Bright is a psychopath himself.
The title of Fox’s 9-1-1 season three episode 13 hints at one of the emergencies the team will be assisting with. A bowling alley rescue is part of “Pinned,” set to air on Monday, March 30, 2020 at 8pm ET/PT.
The cast of season three includes Angela Bassett as Athena Grant, Peter Krause as Bobby Nash, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Maddie Kendall, and Oliver Stark as Evan “Buck” Buckley. Aisha Hinds plays Henrietta “Hen” Wilson, Kenneth Choi is Howie “Chimney” Han, Rockmond Dunbar is Michael Grant, and Ryan Guzman is Eddie Diaz.
“Pinned” Plot – The 118 responds to accidents at a bowling alley and a home renovation, as Athena pursues a car thief. Bobby and Michael take Harry camping and Chimney and Maddie rush into action when their romantic dinner date takes a wild-turn.
9-1-1 Series Description, Courtesy of Fox:
Creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear reimagine the procedural drama with 9-1-1, exploring the high-pressure experiences of police officers, firefighters and dispatchers who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking and heart-stopping situations.

NBC’s Manifest season two episode 11 begins with Ben (Josh Dallas) and Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) talking about the three looming shadow figures Cal (Jack Messina) keeps seeing and what it could mean. Ben fears Adrian’s right and that the callings could be lulling them into a sense of obedience, setting them up to help put into motion an evil endgame.
Michaela disagrees, reminding him the callings have always been to help save people. Ben changes the subject and asks Michaela how Zeke (Matt Long) is doing. Michaela admits she’s scared and that Zeke is running out of time as he’s getting close to his death date.
Zeke meets with his sponsor and talks about it being the anniversary of his sister’s death. His sponsor suggests Zeke focus on the time he has left and closure.
Michaela sits outside before heading to work and talks to whoever or whatever is in charge of the callings; like a prayer. She says she needs guidance to keep believing in following the instructions. She doesn’t understand why the man she loves is freezing to death and questions how she’s supposed to keep believing if she loses him.
Michaela’s walking to the precinct when she hears someone yell, “Stop! Thief!” She sees a young man running out of a store and gives chase, catching up to the petty thief who begs her to let him go. He claims he only stole a candy bar. Michaela has a calling and hears a voice demanding she let him go. Michaela takes the candy bar and tells the young man next time she’ll arrest him. He runs off onto a bus.
Michaela returns the candy bar to the store owner. He reveals the thief stole a bunch of cold medicine and that another shop nearby was also ripped off a few days ago. At the precinct, Michaela tells Jared (J.R. Ramirez) about it and they decide to team up to find the petty thief who it sounds like is part of a meth-making team.
At the Stone house, Ben has a vision of a subway train coming at him and tells Grace it felt like he was going to die.
T.J. (Garrett Wareing) and Cal are taking a walk and eating ice cream when T.J. has a calling and sees a red bird – a phoenix. They return home and tell Ben and Grace about it. Grace says the bird Zeke described sounds like a mural. Ben and T.J. discover the phoenix mural is located on a subway platform.
T.J. and Ben head over to the subway and see a man about to commit suicide by falling in front of the subway train. Ben and T.J. grab him just in time and he collapses.
Meanwhile, Zeke’s getting ready for an MRI by Dr. Saanvi Bahl (Parveen Kaur) who’s concerned at the rate Zeke’s getting worse. He’s moving closer to freezing to death, yet she says to have faith and that her cure just needs some fine-tuning.
Jared and Michaela go to the bus depot and talk to the bus driver the young petty theft man got on. He says he doesn’t remember the guy. They decide to take a look at the video cam footage on the bus.
After the test, Zeke gets a visit from his mother who’s worried about why he still looks so sick. He lies to her that he’s still recovering from getting burned and breathing in smoke at the nightclub fire. As his mother leaves, Saanvi arrives and explains he has more muscle damage. She assures him they won’t lose the fight against his death date.
Over at the precinct, Jared and Michaela find the footage of the shoplifter and are able to ID him. They start tracking the teenager.
Ben and T.J. visit the man who tried to kill himself in the hospital. They notice one of his possessions is a tiny music box and when they open it, the lullaby it plays is the one Grace learned from Cal.
Jared and Michaela find the shoplifter at his school and question him about who he works for. He admits the bus he got on is the drop-off for the cold medicine but that’s all he knows. Michaela and Jared decide to let the shoplifter go so he can lead them to whoever’s in charge of the meth-making group.
Cal’s visiting Zeke in the hospital when Ben asks about the lullaby. Both he and Zeke start singing it and Zeke reveals his father wrote it. Ben realizes the man in the subway who tried to kill himself is Zeke’s dad. He tells Zeke but Zeke doesn’t want to have anything to do with him; he’s still angry his father left the family after his sister’s death.
Ben understands his anger but explains this could be a chance to give himself closure with that part of his life. Zeke remembers what his sponsor said to him about closure earlier that day.
T.J. is sitting with Zeke’s dad and talking to him about second chances when Zeke walks in. T.J. and Ben give Zeke and his dad privacy as they talk.
Michaela walks into Zeke’s room to find him gone. Just as she’s about to go looking for him, he enters and hugs her. He tells her about his father and Ben and T.J.’s calling. He’s decided he’s going on a brief trip with his father to honor his sister. Michaela asks about his treatment and Zeke confesses he’s done with it. Michaela starts to get upset but Zeke explains he doesn’t want to waste any more of the time he has left in the hospital tied to tubes. He wants to spend his remaining time with her.
A little later Saanvi tries to enter her office but finds she’s been locked out. Security arrives to explain her hospital privileges have been revoked. They escort an arguing Saanvi out of the hospital.

Jared and Michaela track the shoplifter to a location that could be the meth lab. During their stakeout Michaela tells Jared she’s in love with Zeke, thinking he’s working with her to try to get back together (an idea given to her by her partner, Drea). Jared explains she’s wrong and he has accepted her with Zeke but that he needs to be friends with her and have her in his life. He starts to say that he and Zeke might even become friends and Michaela becomes upset. She confesses Zeke might not have much time left, that he’s dying. She reveals everyone on Flight 828 and anyone who’s has been affected by whatever happened that day has a death date.
The conversation ends when they spot the driver of the bus the shoplifter got on.
Jared and Michaela bust in and Jared goes after one of the men who jumps out a window. Michaela heads down a corridor, through a door, and down some steps to find the meth lab, the bus driver, and Jace Baylor (James McMenamin), who has been arrested for meth dealings before. As she’s about to make the arrest she has a calling that instructs her to let him go. She decides to ignore the calling and slaps the cuffs on Jace.
At the Stone home, Ben and Grace are enjoying ice cream – with sprinkles – when Ben announces he’s going to spend less time trying to figure out all the connections with passengers on 828 and the callings and more time with her and the kids.
Meanwhile at the precinct, Michaela tells Jared about the calling to let Jace go but isn’t sure if it was talking about him or Zeke. She also reveals it’s the first time she’s defied a calling.
Later at her apartment, Michaela finds Zeke waiting for her. He confesses that most of his life is full of mistakes and regret and he wants to end his life on his terms. Zeke asks Michaela to marry him and she says yes!
The episode’s final scene shows Cal in his bedroom with Ben tucking him in. He asks Ben if Zeke and his dad made up and Ben believes they’re working on it. Ben says goodnight and right after he leaves Cal sees the three dark shadows again. The scene changes to Jace, the bus driver, and the shoplifter together in lockup. It’s revealed the ominous shadow figures are their shadows.
The CW’s Roswell, New Mexico season two episode two kicks off with Isobel, Liz, Michael, Alex, and Kyle meeting up at an abandoned Indian boarding school – along with what remains of Noah. Alex (Tyler Blackburn) has set up the place with top of the line, unhackable security, but Isobel (Lily Cowles) seems less than thrilled. However, Liz (Jeanine Mason) is sure this is where they’ll save Max.
Later back at home, Rosa (Amber Midthunder) is super curious about her death. She‘s attempting to look up her funeral when Liz convinces her to leave it alone.
And once more back to the Scooby team’s new secret lair we go. Things are getting cleaned up and readied for their top-secret #RescueMax operation.
Clips flash by with scenes of everyday life…Isobel boxing, Rosa spray painting aliens on walls and accidentally spotting her dad coming out of the café, and Maria putting up Missing Person posters hoping to get info on what happened to her mom, Mimi.
Rosa’s apparently so rattled by everything she sneaks into the bar for a drink. She’s interrupted by another vision of Max (Nathan Parsons) begging her to convince Liz not to save him. He reveals he’s burning alive from the inside.
It turns out the bar thing was just a bad dream. Nevertheless, she wakes up upset and disturbed by the vision. She asks about her sketchbook but, unfortunately, Liz hasn’t been able to find it. She needs it as a coping mechanism and Liz promises she’ll find it.
Speaking of promises, Rosa makes one and says she’ll stay hidden. However, Liz lets on she knows her now-younger sibling has been sneaking out and graffitiing walls.
Michael (Michael Vlamis) is working in the makeshift lab (which I really prefer to call the lair and so I will from now on because, well, it’s my recap) when he has a vision of his alien mom. It’s vivid enough to shake him up a bit.
Over at the hospital, Kyle and Alex wake Alex’s dad, Jesse (Trevor St. John), from his coma. Alex warns his dad they have a video of him feeding Kyle’s dad to an alien, but Jesse doesn’t seem worried despite the fact he’s recovering from a coma Kyle induced and could easily slip him back into again. He’s pretty sure they won’t publicize the video since there’s no way they’d want to reveal there are aliens in Roswell, New Mexico.
Kyle assures him he doesn’t really care about that; he’s willing to reveal aliens to the world if necessary.
Maria’s papering the town with flyers and stops by Michael’s to leave one on his trailer door. She’s so worried her mom’s been missing for two weeks that she doesn’t really care she caught Michael making out with a random woman at the bar. There haven’t been any signs of Mimi and the police don’t have any leads.
Maria can’t stop thinking something horrible happened. Michael empathizes, revealing he found out something about his mom that’s made it difficult for him to concentrate.
Liz uses Isobel’s blood to learn about alien physiology. Isobel wonders what Michael’s role is in helping Max, and Liz explains he’s engineering nanotech. Their not exactly friendly but semi-close to it bonding moment sours when Isobel opens a box and realizes Liz is holding onto the alien death serum. Liz assures Isobel that Noah’s dead and the serum is just for research.
While Liz is distracted, Isobel steals a syringe of the poison.
Back to Rosa and she’s wandering around the graveyard in broad daylight while sporting a disguise of a baseball cap and hoodie. She spots her grave and is shocked to see it’s been vandalized. Someone’s spray-painted “Murderer” across the marker.
She leans against it and watches a video on her phone of Wyatt Long. Wyatt’s launching a fundraising campaign to build the wall in his murdered sister Kate’s honor. The racist jerk rants on about Rosa’s parents being illegals and that Rosa was just another drunk Mexican who killed his sister. He believes if her family had stayed in Mexico, his sister would be alive today.
Alex’s brother, Flint (Kiowa Gordon), visits their dad in the hospital. He knows Kyle and Alex did something to him, but Jesse says it’s not important. Flint reports in on the demolition of the prison, taking with it all evidence of alien presence there. Jesse believes that it was the right thing to do since any revelation would have been labeled fake news. They need more concrete evidence that allows them to make a bigger statement.
Isobel’s at home using an app to figure out how big her baby is and learns it’s the size of a lentil. (She’s worried it’s an evil body-snatching bundle of joy.) Before she can dwell on that her mom arrives with an invitation to a “Woman as Warrior” class. Isobel’s not in the mood and just wants to be alone. She blows up at her mom when she suggests she talk to a doctor. But then to soothe the situation Isobel reluctantly agrees to a little mother-daughter bonding time.
Liz tracks Rosa using her phone – Rosa thinks this aspect of the future is creepy as hell – and Liz can’t believe she’s out and about during the day. Rosa angrily argues she knows how to sneak about this town. She then reveals she knows that no one came to her funeral and the deaths of her friends caused a race war.
The cops arrive at just that moment and Rosa runs off, leaving Liz to explain the spray can she’s holding while standing next to freshly painted graffiti.
Liz is taken to the station and her one call goes to Michael Guerin who just so happens to be locked up in a cell mere feet away. (How did she not notice the sexy alien kicking back in a nearby cell?) Anyway, he’s not going to be much help in getting her out of trouble.
Michael’s a fountain of doom and gloom as Liz worries over ruining the experiment since they’re both currently incarcerated. If the experiment fails that will suck. Michael reminds her life isn’t fair. He also explains he punched Wyatt Long for using one of Maria’s Missing posters to clean his boot.
It turns out Maria isn’t just a bartender, she’s also the leader of the Woman as Warrior group session. Her card claims she’s a spiritual leader, psychic reader, and social media revitalizer. Isobel’s reaction to that is priceless. She looks around, wondering if she’s being punked.
Sheriff Valenti (Rosa Arredondo) interrupts their conversation. It appears she’s doing a little investigating into Noah Bracken’s death…
Kyle receives Rosa’s completed lab reports and she’s healthy. However, there’s a protein showing up that isn’t supposed to be in a human body. He catches up with Rosa – who is not listening to anyone about staying hidden – after she texts him to meet her at a church. She demands to know if the town hates her and Kyle fills her in on the truth. Max and Michael put Rosa and her two dead friends in a car and staged an accident. The town believes Rosa got high and caused the crash. Rosa becomes upset when she realizes her sister went through all those years believing she was responsible.
Sheriff Valenti questions Liz about the position of the lightning bolt strike on Noah’s chest; he would have had to already been laying on the ground when it hit. She also wonders where Max has been since that day and why she found Liz’s necklace outside Max’s place. Liz claims she’s hoping to someday tell Max how she feels and has visited his house hoping he’ll come home so she can tell him the truth.
Isobel and her mom have been in the Woman as Warrior session for hours. Night’s fallen and Isobel’s reached the limit of her patience even though her mom’s really enjoying herself. Maria made them write down their biggest fear at the beginning of the session and she instructs the attendees to toss their fear into the fire. Isobel hesitates even after Maria promises her she can leave once she symbolically gets rid of her fear.
Maria says Isobel can choose to set herself free and that finally gets to Isobel. She truly believes it as she places her slip of paper on the fire. (Her biggest fear is the baby she’s carrying which she now refers to as “the lentil.”)
Rosa sneaks into her family’s café and her old room. It still has some of her belongings, and she even finds an old bottle of tequila she’d hidden away.
Michael admits he can’t stop thinking about his mom. He’s patiently waiting for Alex outside his house and needs to know if he has any more info to share about his mom. Alex reveals Michael’s mom’s name was Nora Truman and she wasn’t admitted to Caulfield until a year after the crash. That means people in the town might have known her and some of those people could still be alive.
Although Alex wants to help, Michael turns down his offer. He says he likes Maria and he and Alex shouldn’t be hanging out. Alex takes it surprisingly well.
When Liz finally arrives back at her place later that night, Rosa’s in no mood for her sister’s blame game. She tells Liz to go help Max, the guy who led everyone in town into believing she was a murderer. Rosa’s furious her sister chose to love Max.
Liz admits she never believed Rosa drove drunk and caused the accident. Rosa remains pissed her sister’s with the guy who staged the accident and placed her – the only “brown girl” involved – in the driver’s seat. That act led to hate crimes against their family.
Liz defends him by reminding Rosa that Max was just a kid then. She tries to explain Max has spent years trying to atone for his actions. Rosa knows everyone hates her and it’s his fault. “It was better when I was a ghost,” says Rosa.
Liz needs to stay in Roswell, but she and Kyle can find her an apartment elsewhere. Rosa’s anger doesn’t allow her to listen to her sister’s solution.
Michael’s waiting for Maria outside the bar late at night. He confesses he learned she’s been sleeping there and that’s why he’s moved his trailer to the bar’s parking lot. He’ll be sticking around to keep an eye out and make sure she’s safe.
They both let down their guards for a minute and say what they really think. He misses her laughter and doesn’t want her to hate him. “Then don’t make me hate you, Guerin,” says Maria.
She will allow him to “guard the parking lot” on a casual, non-exclusive trial basis. But, he can’t hook up with any more random girls. “Deal,” responds Michael as he moves in for a kiss. She initially pulls away but then surrenders.
Liz returns to the lab/lair to redo her experiments.
Alex and Flint meet up unexpectedly outside their father’s hospital room door. As they watch, their dad begins convulsing and falls off the bed. Flint runs for help while Alex just stands and watches his dad suffer.
Isobel’s finally back home after a weird day with her mom. She holds the alien poison and says, “I can choose to set myself free.” She squeezes a drop onto her finger and then licks it. She smiles.
Rosa climbs onto the café’s roof with the bottle of tequila. She sets it next to her without taking a drink.
She falls asleep on the roof and dreams of visiting Max’s pod in the cave. She slams her fist on it, demanding he leave her alone. He appears and reiterates how much pain he’s in. She tells him to man up, ticking off a list of things that have gone wrong in her life. He still wants her help and asks her to pull him out of the pod and then leave. “You won’t be killing me, Rosa. I’m already dead,” begs Max.
Max reminds her that as long as she has his handprint, he can contact her. She’s okay with that and says she’s an expert at quieting voices. She wakes up and gulps down tequila.
CBS’s Magnum P.I. will finally return from a 10 week break on Friday, April 10, 2020 at 9pm ET/PT.

Purvis as Jake Iho.

“Say Hello to Your Past” Plot – Magnum and Higgins must find Kumu when she’s kidnapped by an injured man accused of killing his wife.
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 back-up 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!”
