Thursday, October 23rd

All times are Eastern

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES | 8:00-9:00pm | The CW
By: Erin Resnick | @enr702

Flashbacks to Damon's life in the early 1990s signify the key to Damon, Bonnie, and newcomer Kai's release. Stefan takes Elena out to show her what it's like to start over with a new identity and Alaric attempts to help a desperate Jeremy. Finally, Matt is let in on a secret at the hands of Tripp.

GRACEPOINT | 9:00-10:00pm | Fox
By: Courtney Henley | @CourtHenley

Get your pencils and notebooks out, kiddos, and get ready to do some sleuthing with David Tennant and Anna Gunn this Thursday, October 23, on an all-new episode of GRACEPOINT. Last week, we ruled out Danny's dad Mark as a murder suspect (or have we?!), but there's a town choc-full-o' other creepy, sneaky people who could've possibly done it. Don't worry if you're confused - it's early on, you're supposed to be. This week, we learn that Danny may not have been as innocent as he seemed (which basically means that he fits right in with the rest of the town), and we get a glimpse into Carver's past. Color me curious!

SCANDAL | 9:00-10:00pm | ABC
By: Jennifer McHugh | @eponineq

Jake isn't returning Olivia's calls. So typical... oh wait, that's right. He's falsely imprisoned by her Dad and her ex for killing the President's son. Still... would a text hurt?

PARENTHOOD | 10:00-11:00pm | NBC
By: Matt Smith

We're winding down - now in the SINGLE digits of remaining PARENTHOOD episodes. But that doesn't mean the Bravermans on winding down on the drama! This week, Amber (Mae Whitman) gets a new beau, who *doesn't* know about her pregnancy, and Joel gets jealous when he sees Julia's new man hanging out with his kids. What happens next? You'll have to watch Thursday on NBC to find out!
