Last Night's TV PRIME TIME
THIS ISSUE: Bones, Scandal, Project Runway, HTGAWM, The Blacklist
TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT
Booth Is Back and He's Gonna Have a Party
FOX
BECAUSE: After way too much time spent apart, dabbling in crime, performing self-surgeries that involved a little too much "tugging with fingers" to be wholly sanitary, and a serious emotional roller coaster, Booth and Bones are finally back together again, picking up with the old gang to try and make something good out of death once more. What a time to be alive (and dead).

Scandal
ABC
WHAT HAPPENED: Some Scandal fans think the series' fifth season has been moving a little slowly. Well let EW recapper Isabella Biedenhard break down Thursday night's episode for the wary: "We had some really sweet Liv-Fitz moments, some angry and compassionate sides of Mellie, some slick OPA problem-solving, two new faces, a scary Papa Pope speech, and drama galore!" Exactly what constitutes galore, you ask? Well, an hour-long special on Olivia Pope, the President's newly exposed mistress, which feels eerily like something that would air in our own, non-Scandal world, and impeachment rumblings for Fitz. Impeachment!
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: But Fitz wasn't always the scandalous president or questionable man that he's being made out to be now... at least not to the public. The A.V. Club has a theory that Olitz was destined from the start, not because of love, but because Olivia is the best damn handler in the biz: "Sometimes I think that Olivia's love for Fitz, again just means that she's too good at her job: She created the perfect, lovable candidate, as vintage Cyrus footage points out in this episode, so how could she help but fall for her own creation?" Just call her Dr. Franken-Liv.

Project Runway
Lifetime
WHAT HAPPENED: Put on your fanny-pack, adopt your most laidback attitude, and start calling this season "The Kelly from the Deli Show" in your finest Boston accent, because the perma-chillaxed lady has worked her way from the middle of the pack into her second consecutive win. The avant-garde challenge, where designers are to be inspired by Manhattan bridges and incorporate 3-D printed designs into their garments, doesn't sound like the challenge for a self-taught designer from Boston... but when you've got inspiration, you've got inspiration, and when that inspiration is a "Brooklyn meets rich cocoa faux-crocodile," the judges will apparently love it. As EW recapper Dalene Rovestine says, "You have to love a person who realizes they're dipping pretzels in butter -- not cream cheese -- and just keeps right on eating it without shame. But that's just Kelly: unapologetic about what she likes."
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: For the first time yet in this eclectic season 14, the critiques are basically all positive. Apparently all it took was a little low-down, top-up bridge inspiration. Merline -- despite her unique ability to walk and see in 3-D at the same time -- is sent packing. Yahoo TV thought Kelly's winning design was "as close to a replica of the Brooklyn Bridge as you could make without actual bricks and wires," which wouldn't always be a good thing, but there really is no figuring out Heidi & Crew on the judges panel.

How to Get Away with Murder
ABC
WHAT HAPPENED: Nothing scarier than teenagers, areweright? Or at least, that's the case HTGAWM is trying to spin as we follow a bunch of law students whose favorite subject is murdering people as our central protagonists. But one of the Keating 5 is defecting, and with another on the verge, everything is crumbling under Annalise' Louboutins. Thursday's case-of-the-week is Zoe Mitchell, who, as EW recapper Justin Kirkland describes, is "a teenager who just likes to hang out with her best friend and a couple other girls who sometimes like to single out the first and stab her 52 times." Zoe claims that the other two girls manipulated her with mean-girl-cultish behavior... behavior Connor immediate recognizes as similar to Annalise's treatment of her interns. And -- TWIST! -- it turns out that Zoe was the manipulative sociopath all along, so Connor, not willing to abed a murderer, sneaks video footage to the prosecution that helps prove her guilt. Pray for Connor, y'all.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: As for the serious trader -- again, against a woman whose main goal in life is to get away with murder -- Asher has pulled in his father to make a deal with ADA Sinclair to trade evidence on Annalise' involvement with Sam's murder in exchange for some sort of immunity with whatever when down at Trotter Lake. Everybody together now: What went down at Trotter Lake?! Still not sure, but Bustle has a theory on what Trotter Lake just might lead to (through the hazy lens of their understandable love for Matt McGorry): "We're all in agreement that our mutual obsession ... for Matt McGorry IRL makes almost anything his character does on HTGAWM OK, right? Just checking. Still, this is especially important because Asher could be the one who killed Emily the Smarmy Prosecutor." Say it ain't so, Ash -- you're the only non-murderer we have left!
