Last Night's TV: Miss America 2016, Fear the Walking Dead, and More (SPOILERS!)

VIEW IN BROWSER THIS ISSUE: Miss America 2016, Fear the Walking Dead, I Am Cait, and Masters of Sex TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT Miss America Says Sorry ABC BECAUSE: Miss America crowned Betty Cantrell its 95th winner on Sunday night, but the biggest story of the night came before Cantrell took the honor: Vanessa Williams, who won Miss America in 1984 and was subsequently forced to give back her crown after nude photos were published by Penthouse, received a formal apology at the top of Sunday night's broadcast.. READ OUR RECAP Fear the Walking Dead ABC WHAT HAPPENED: Life around Fear the Walking Dead seems kind of exhausting, no? Late nights defending your home from the half-dead, rounds and rounds of Monopoly as you await the zombie apocalypse, trying to talk some sense into your neighbor who's currently eating a dog, etc. After Travis fights his way through the riots with the Salazars and his first family in tow, he arrives back to his second family only to find them in far more peril than he was facing. And while everyone is glad to be back together, Travis really isn't much help--he's still grappling with the humanity of the walkers and it's preventing him from being able to kill them, or even letting Madison kill them as she tries to protect their family. As EW recapper Jonathan Dornbush points out, we as the audience may have the benefit of knowing what the future holds for this society, but the characters don't: "So, as frustrating as Travis' actions may seem, it's understandable that someone at this juncture would feel that way, wanting to keep hope alive." Keep fighting the good fight, Travis--please don't get your family killed. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: The A.V. Club is finding FTWD to be "reasonably solid and occasionally scary," but the rioting outside the Salazar's barber shop just wasn't cutting it: "The idea of people just randomly running in groups toward nothing in particular doesn't make a scene more 'real' for me, it makes me think that somebody's more interested in getting an exciting visual than trying to make psychological sense of its world." The visual that ended the episode, however, of the military storming the neighborhood and trying to take control of an increasingly out of control situation, worked perfectly: It was both the bit of hope Travis needed that this world can be saved, and the confirmation for those in the know that it probably can't. READ OUR RECAP I Am Cait E! WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: This season, in between the road trips and the Kardashian show exchanges, has so often been about Caitlyn's struggle to "be herself" in a life that was simultaneously brand new, exciting, scary, and one big question mark. But being your most authentic self comes with the good and the bad, and though we've gotten glimpses of Caitlyn's rougher edges, Sunday's finale really went for it, showing a lack of empathy she can't help but hold onto for her former wife, wondering what about her Vanity Fair story could have possibly made Kris angry as Kris tearfully tries to explain. Kris says Caitlyn's insensitivity has always been a problem that she used to write off to just "being a guy," but "maybe that's just Bruce-slash-Caitlyn's personality. That's just the way she is." EW recapper Melissa Maerz is here with a dose of reality: "Yep, women can be just as cold as men, whether they're transgender or not. Score one for feminism?" WHAT HAPPENED: People preferred to focus on the sweeter side of this episode: Caitlyn's renaming ceremony, attended by many from the transgender community that welcomed her during her transition and counseled her throughout this docuseries. Caitlyn thanked them for being on this journey with her and giving her the first place she's ever felt like her "authentic self" fit in. People gave one final note on the season: "The journey they were marking wasn't over -- indeed, in some ways, there is still no end in sight -- but it is the progress that has made it worth it." READ OUR RECAP Ray Donovan Showtime WHAT HAPPENED: What didn't happen in Sunday's episode of Ray Donovan? Ray's main mission is helping Mickey get out of a double mess with the Armenian mob and Detective Muncie, and let's give EW recapper Kyle Fowle the floor to sum up the resolution on that one: "The only way his pop star friend will help is if she's able to get some press for her new single, which is a political anthem about genocide. Ray makes that happen by blackmailing Flip Brightman with a picture of him using a glory hole in a washroom, getting Flip to let her sing her song on his show. Seriously folks, you can't make this stuff up." WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: But the Observer kind of wishes you could. Their recap of Sunday night's episode declares that this season defies the ability to give any insight on where the show is coming from, or even where it's going: "The stories it tells are episodic, and though some of its characters have changed over the seasons, none seems to be moving meaningfully from a beginning point to an intentional end." In that way it feels possible this season just may never end… unless of course we could get an Armenian pop star in the mix to lend a hand. READ OUR RECAP One More Thing...
