Last Night's TV: The Flash, Scream Queens, S.H.I.EL.D, and More (SPOILERS!)

VIEW IN BROWSER THIS ISSUE: The Flash, Scream Queens, Agents of S.H.I.EL.D., NCIS, Arrow-Flash TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT Zoom, Zoom The CW BECAUSE: Patience is a virtue, friends, and though The Flash's Barry Allen may have the wholesome look (and cardigan collection) of a youth minister, he can't get it right all the time. Barry decides it's better to get Zoom to Earth-1 for a fight now rather than later and, well... "Enter Zoom." Zoom is stronger than the Flash, he's faster, he has a terrifying face mask, and he beats Barry straight into a coma -- The Flash hasn't just found a bad guy. He's found his nemesis. READ OUR RECAP NCIS CBS WHAT HAPPENED: She's baaaaaack. Remember the time Agent DiNozzo fell super in love with Jeanne Benoit while he also happened to be super undercover, so it ended "super beyond badly" (thank you, McGossip Girl)? Well, she's now married to Dr. David Woods, one of the people missing following an attack on a Doctors Without Borders-like group in Togu, South Sudan. Before the NCIS team leaves for Sudan, Gibbs collapses, a development EW recapper Sara Netzley finds a little "strangely placed" considering Gibbs' post-surgical trauma has been on the back burner for so long, but "NCIS is brilliant at call-backs and long-simmering repercussions, and this episode is no exception." The DiNozzo/Benoit angst has been long-simmering indeed, so Tony finds that the best thing he can do to apologize to Jeanne is find the man that she loves now. And that -- he does. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: The return of Jeanne could have gone a lot of directions -- emotional blow-ups, secret babies, etc. -- but mostly it was just a taste of sweet, subtle closure for both parties (something Gibbs might get a little of if he keeps up his share time with Taft). Jeanne thanks Tony and leaves him with a cheek-kiss that Scottie Thompson told TV Line was "a little bit [lingering and warm] ... and it will be interesting to see how fans react to that, and what that opens up in terms of possibilities -- or not -- of what lays down the road." DOWN THE ROAD?! Okay, forget what we said about closure. READ OUR RECAP Scream Queens FOX WHAT HAPPENED: Maternal instincts are kicking in on Scream Queens, and not of the "lifting a car off your baby" variety. This all started with a bathtub baby, remember? Denise Hemphill took over house mom duties at Kappa Kappa Tau (and Niecy Nash took over our hearts in full-Chanel gear); poor Grace finally found out who her mother is -- not the bathtub birther, or even the sorority sister who stayed by her side -- no, she was the dummy who just had to go sway to "Waterfalls" one more time; and Jamie Lee Curtis channeled Psycho in an opening shower scene that proved she ain't afraid of no Red Devil or any average homicidal idiot in a Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia mask. ("In case your film history knowledge isn't as extensive as Jennifer's candle collection, Curtis' mother, Janet Leigh, played the bathing beauty stabbed to death in Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1960 film," per EW recapper Amy Wilkinson.) WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: The Red Devils still loom large -- one is most definitely Boone, who returned with a Jonas beard on Tuesday night, and we'd bet all of our Denise Hemphill bribe money that Gigi is the one in that Scalia mask -- so another death was imminent. As they say, you never know what you've got 'til it's gone, and what we had in Jennifer was a young lady passionate about the art of aromatic wax burning. Unfortunately, as The New York Times puts it, "The chapter's candle blogger was, as it were, snuffed out ." Wherever she's headed, we hope there's a Yankee Candle with unlimited coupons. READ OUR RECAP Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ABC WHAT HAPPENED: At the top of EW recapper Andrea Towers' recap, she reminds us that from the jump it seemed like the main focus of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s first season would be both Lash and Simmons' disappearance: "Seven episodes in, it's clear that those stories, which are unraveling quickly, are only part of what is going to make up the bigger picture of season 3." While Simmons has been back on Earth for a while and recovering with the help of bestie/soulmate Fitz (that cell phone footage = total heartbreak; that sunrise = total heart-eyes), on Tuesday night, it was time for some Lash answers. After returning from a trip with his wife, May, Andrew Garner was doused in terrigen crystals, triggering his Inhuman DNA and his transformation into the Inhuman-murdering Lash. May spends the episode trying to track down and take care of her estranged husband on her own, but eventually, Coulson shows up with a containment module and May is able to humanize Garner just long enough to capture him. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: The very best -- and most surprising -- thing about SHIELD'S third season has been its deep dive on the relationships between the agents (and the occasional need for Kleenex while watching), but the A.V. Club felt Tuesday night wasn't the series' best showing on that front: "By refusing to delve into the specifics of what is driving Andrew's behavior as Lash, Lefranc creates a broad conflict for Andrew and May that isn't especially conducive to rich emotional storytelling, and despite the best efforts of Blair Underwood and Ming-Na Wen, the drama between the former spouses falls flat." With Lash/Garner put in stasis mode by Rosalind, surely there's more to come. READ OUR RECAP One More Thing...
