Last Night’s TV: DWTS, Scream Queens, NCIS, and More (SPOILERS!)

VIEW IN BROWSER THIS ISSUE: Dancing With the Stars, Scream Queens, NCIS, The Voice, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT And the Mirrorball Goes to... ABC BECAUSE: The disco ball was shined, the pecs had been oiled with care, and the Top 3 were ready to rumba -- Tuesday marked the night to crown a season 21 DWTS winner, and as it turns out, a princess crown was just the ticket: Bindi Irwin is your littlest DWTS victor that could, while Nick Carter landed in the runner-up spot, with Alek "American Hero" Skarlato just behind him. And praise be to Mirrorballs on high: it was announced that Len Goodman is returning to the judges panel in season 22! READ OUR RECAP Scream Queens Fox WHAT HAPPENED: With Chad Michael Murray and Patrick Schwarzenegger on the roster, the Radwell genes aren't bad to look at, but still, having Hester show up at Thanksgiving dinner and announce, "I have a little Radwell inside me," was a little more Nightmare-on-East-Hampton-Street than Turkey-Day-Miracle. At least Chanel thought so. Having a slightly better Thanksgiving were the rest of the Chanels, Dean Munsch, Grace, and the gang, who all decided to ditch their families and eat turkey at the KKT house. They have a grand ol' time swapping theories on who the second Red Devil is (Chanel #3? Wes? Well, he is Boone's father, apparently). But as EW recapper Amy Wilkinson says, "It's not a holiday at Wallace University without a merry murder," and when dinner is served, it's not a turkey on that silver tray -- it's Gigi's head! WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: It was starting to seem like deaths don't really count on Scream Queens, not to mention that the Red Devils seem to have taken a personal holiday from their classes (Mass Murdering 101 and Creepy Secret Siblings for Beginners). And that's a bit of a problem for a horror show. So, who would've expected that the Thanksgiving ep would be Scream Queens' most effectual one yet? The A.V. Club has an explanation: "This episode makes its one death a doozy, and it finally does something that's been expected from it as a slasher series: It makes the mystery of the entire who-dun-it interesting again." Between the KKT dinner/murder table and the perfectly cast Radwells (Julia Duffy and Alan Thicke!), this episode was just fun. READ OUR RECAP NCIS CBS WHAT HAPPENED: Ohhhh, things are not going well 'round the NCIS woods. Bishop is mourning the end of her marriage at home in Oklahoma following Jake's infidelity admission while the rest of the team is trying to find a bone marrow match for a Navy lieutenant who's already lost two siblings in Afghanistan and is currently battling leukemia. It's all pretty bleak -- enough to make Gibbs and his Very Special Talky-Time with Dr. Taft seem like a shiny ray of enlightened positivity. Gibbs is the one that goes to Oklahoma to convince Bishop to stop running, and ask her to give it one more go at convincing a bone marrow match in a nearby prison to donate his marrow even though it won't get his sentence reduced. But the wise words of the evening ultimately come from Bishop herself: "You can't change the past. You can change the future ... Don't let a bad situation define who you are," she tells the inmate -- and herself. It's a happy ending for the Navy lieutenant, and maybe... WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: ...for Ellie Bishop. Or not -- hard to say! Speaking with EW, Emily Wickersham seemed pretty confident that this marks the end of Ellie and Jake's marriage: "It's a big life change, going through a divorce ... I'm sure it'll take her to some dark places, maybe, and I'm sure we'll see her working through things, which is always fun for me to play." Oh, and she's well aware that Bishop wasn't the most beloved character at first, but Wickersham hopes the positive reaction will continue to grow "as we get to know her more and we see more and more faults in her." And if that doesn't work, the girl's got dish: "There's some fun stuff with Jeanne Benoit coming up with Tony." Verrrrry in-ter-est-ing. READ OUR RECAP The Voice NBC WHAT HAPPENED: Savor the just-revealed Voice top 10 while you have them, for next week, it's slaughtering season. Even though the rationale is still a mystery, Tuesday night's was the last single-elimination of season 9; next week, half of the Top 10 will be diced from the lineup. That's a top 10 that no longer includes Evan McKeel, as Korin Bukowski beat him out for the Instant Save (and though EW recapper Ariel Kay would have given the battle to Evan, she says we have to "admire [Korin's] chutzpah" for singing "She Will Be Loved" to the loving man himself, Adam Levine.) WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: That means Teams Blake and Adam are still fully intact, and TV Line has some coach-themed theories (not to be confused with Jezebel's theory article, "Not to Be Dramatic, But I Think The Voice Is a Cult and That Blake Shelton Is Its Leader"): After Team Gwen's group performance featured a confetti shower so bountiful it mirrored that usually reserved for the winner's reveal, they got to wondering "if it was just a fluke or if there was some subtle subtext intended by exec producer Mark Burnett & Co." Theory 1: It was an encouraging celebration of the only current coach without a trophy. Theory 2: Just your average fanfare for Braiden Sunshine inexplicably being sent to safety second this week. And Theory 3: per TV Line, "Or maybe it was merely a 'thank you' to Gwen and her trio of protégés for staying in tune during their group number -- which is far more than can be said for coach Adam Levine, whose subsequent cover of the Beach Boys' 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' sounded like a rabid hyena with its tail caught in the door of an SUV." Hey, we didn't say it! (But, y'all, it's definitely #3.) READ OUR RECAP One More Thing... Hello from Her One More Tiiiiiiiiime NBC SPELL XYLOPHONE: Did Adele sing "Hello" with Jimmy Fallon, The Roots, and classroom instruments on Tuesday's The Tonight Show. Of course she did. Was it flawless perfection? Don't ask silly questions. READ OUR RECAP Also Check Out... Recommended by Copyright © 2015 Entertainment Weekly and Time Inc. All rights reserved. WANT MORE?
