Last Night’s TV: Blacklist, Sleepy Hollow, HTGAWM, and More (SPOILERS!)

VIEW IN BROWSER THIS ISSUE: Blacklist, Sleepy Hollow, How to Get Away with Murder, Scandal, Bones TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT Elizabeth Keen's New, Lighter Disguise NBC BECAUSE: From terrible wig, to empowering lob, to sink dye job, The Blacklist's Lizzie Keen has officially hit every hairstyle in the book on her Red road to self-discovery. But hopefully it will be the new platinum 'do she's sporting on the lam from the FBI in the season 3 premiere that suits her best. Oh, and in addition to the huge personal step of going blonde, Liz also threw herself over the fence of the Russian embassy, calling herself FSB agent Masha Rostova and seeking diplomatic immunity from her newly discovered motherland -- so there's that. READ OUR RECAP Sleepy Hollow FOX WHAT HAPPENED: It's time for rejoicing, all you Ichabod-heads! Of Sleepy Hollow's season 3 premiere, EW recapper Kelly Conolly says, "Find a jukebox in a small-town bar and cue up 'Sympathy for the Devil,' because Sleepy Hollow is back -- not just from its summer hiatus, but from whatever walk into the woods it took last year." Finally, Ichabod and Abbie are reunited to their former zingy, bantering glory -- they went through a lot in the last season, and you can tell, because they too have gotten edgy new premiere haircuts. But it's not all long layers and butterflies; there's a new demon in town sent by a hooded woman, Pandora (Shannyn Sossamon), to garner fear for her box (still not sure if it's that box) and a lost message from Bunker Hill holds the key to defeating it. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: It's sounding like Sleepy Hollow, critics, and fans are all in agreement on doing a Men-In-Black-style memory wipe re: the lackluster season 2. TV Line found the Headless Horseman being "magicked into vapor" and sucked into Pandora's box (yeah, okay, it's probably THAT box) "a fitting metaphor for how the Fox series is handling the remains of its troubling second season as it moves into a hopeful third." Magic it away, baby. Abbie, at least, seems to be putting her best foot forward: "The monsters are real ... but it's okay, because it's my job to stop them." READ OUR RECAP How to Get Away with Murder ABC WHAT HAPPENED: You've got to give it to HTGAWM, the show knows how to do a damn flash-forward. This season's has already driven EW recapper Marc Snetiker to near madness: "It's a strange sensation, as a regular functional human with no major murderous tendencies (aside from when it comes to spiders and road rage), to watch a TV show and get some sick delight from ... knowing that the identity of the [dead] body is the same as the person you just spent 60 minutes saying, 'Please, someone, kill her already.'" We likely won't know who done it until the season finale, but someone killed Assistant District Attorney Sinclair, a.k.a. A.D.A. Annoying McObnoxiousPants, in the same Fancy Mansion where Annalise lays dying, her students running away from her bleeding body. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: But the A.V. Club thinks all of this murder in flash-forward, and murder in present day, and murder in the basement can be a bit of a problem, even on such a murderously titled series: "Murder means almost nothing on this show." Between Bonnie's slaps on the wrist for asphyxiating Rebecca, Frank's concern with getting Laurel to "get to know him" while he still has getting to know Lila's jugular fresh on the brain, and the eagerness with which four of the Keating Five tend to try to wash their hands of homicide, these characters' emotional detachment from murder is, well, a little concerning. Compare that to the newly electric emotional connection between Annalise and Eva, and it's clear which narrative devices are working best in season 2 -- just a little more emotional development to pair with The Joys of Murder, please! And bring back Eve as soon as possible, puh-lease x2! READ OUR RECAP Bones FOX WHAT HAPPENED: We should start off by saying -- Booth isn't dead. But it certainly seemed like he might be for about three-quarters of the episode and watching Brennan experience that was anxiety-inducing enough. But it turns out the bones that showed up in a torched van bore far too many resemblances to Booth's for good reason: They belong to his brother, Jared. Don't tick Booth back in your "Safe" column just yet, though. Not only is he a prime suspect in his brother's death -- as EW recapper Kelly Connoly points out, "[He] looks pretty unpredictable from the outside... He's a gambler. He's been in counseling. He shot a clown once (never forget)." -- but as we find out at the end of the episode, the man himself is holed up in a basement with Jared's friends (who've just robbed a house!), doctoring his own bullet wound WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: So what gives?? After a three-month time jump, at the beginning of the premiere, it seemed like Brennan and Booth were happy in their new jobs away from the Jeffersonian. And now it seems like Booth has been lying to Brennan about Jared and is maybe leading a secret life of crime. But David Boreanaz says not to worry... even though he confirmed to TV Line that Booth is definitely in some kind of trouble, "There is a great end to that episode that reflects the connection between him and Bones," he says, and it sounds like they'll be making a happy return to the Jeffersonian, as well. So let's just take care of that gaping stomach wound, and all should be well. READ OUR RECAP One More Thing... In a Word, Yes ABC THE OPPOSITE OF NO: All you need to know is this: After a long, hard episode, Scandal's Olivia Pope arrived back at her apartment to a swarm of reporters, one of whom asked her, "Aren't you the President's mistress?" And She. Said. Yes. YES!!! Yes! Yes. READ OUR RECAP Also Check Out... Recommended by Copyright © 2015 Entertainment Weekly and Time Inc. All rights reserved. WANT MORE?
