TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT
The Walking Dead Pulls a Fast One
AMC
BECAUSE: They can't... did that just... is he -- DARYL CAN'T BE DEAD! In the final moments of Sunday night's Walking Dead, Daryl and Rosita discovered Glenn and Michonne captured in the woods, and were quickly surrounded by Saviors. As Daryl turned to face Denise's killer Dwight, the man he'd been looking for, Dwight shot him. Shot him! At point-blank range. And make no mistake about it: that was Daryl's blood that splattered your screen. In the episode's final moment, you can hear Dwight tell Daryl, "You'll be alright," but there's just a something about that guy that makes him hard to trust.

Girls
HBO
WHAT HAPPENED: On Sunday's Girls, the series' most insufferable character got her very own hour to prove she's... well, she's got "some serious sh -- to work out." After fighting with Desi, Marnie escapes the apartment for some space, and is catcalled by a group of construction workers that includes Charlie. You remember ex-boyfriend Charlie? He chases her down and insists that she go to a fancy party with him... a fancy party where he's selling cocaine. And Marnie figures, why not live a little? Why not pretend she's an escort and get some guy to give her $600? Why not eat expensive pasta with her ex-boyfriend? Why not sleep with him even when he has trashbag curtains and an ambiguous needle in his bedroom. Well... because none of that high-stakes living will solve her problem. After Charlie and Marnie are mugged of their drug and fake-escort money -- "I didn't know people get, like, robbed anymore" -- Marnie returns home to tell Desi that she doesn't want to be married to him. She then heads back to where it all started -- Hannah's apartment -- to crawl into bed with her best friend.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: Marnie doesn't know who she is anymore. She's changed and changed and changed without being able to keep up, something that the A.V. Club points out is brought into excellent clarity by showing how much Charlie -- a character we haven't seen in years -- has changed, as well: "Charlie's drastic physical makeover is key to the episode's success. Everyone who has been watching Girls from the beginning has a recollection of Charlie and Marnie's relationship, and those people aren't these people... Charlie, the too-nice doormat turned tech-world phenom is now a bearded coke dealer with a Hell's Kitchen accent that appears to have sprung out of nowhere." And while we've watched Marnie's drastic changes, mostly for the worst, from the outside, for her, the Charlie perspective was just what she needed to see how far left things have gone. And hopefully it's just what needed to make a change.

The Good Wife
CBS
WHAT HAPPENED: That series finale, it's really coming soon, huh? Just get ahold of these big life decisions: Cary's quitting, Eli is willing to plead guilty in obstructing justice (and hand over a little intel on Peter) to protect his daughter, Diane is just about ready to pull her all-lady power play, and then there's the new war between Jason and Peter. Because, according to EW recapper Samantha Highfill, "When two men are that tall, they have to fight,right?" Right -- Peter lets himself into Alicia's apartment only to discover Jason walking around in his boxers. Peter slams coffee cups and threatens, but Jason is unperturbed, and when Alicia finds out about the little showdown, she marches into Peter's office and tells him directly, "I want a divorce." YES!!! He tells her he'll concede on one condition: that she stand by him during his indictment. NO!!!!
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: We're with Alicia: "Peter, you're always being indicted." And TVLine was loving Sunday's episode and all of its huge character bombshells: "Alicia's 'I want a divorce' was quite possibly the most long overdue TV moment since Maddie and David lustily crashed through a glass table on Moonlighting. And Cary's decision to go his own way -- and stop looking over his shoulder -- had me whooping with delight, too. Matt Czuchry's been underused for the last 20 episodes or so, but he knows how to make an exit, no*? (*not necessarily a reference to his enviable backside)." Yes, it could have been perfect if it has all been just as easy as that. But regarding the divorce we've all been waiting for... it looks like we'll have to wait a little more.

Quantico
ABC
WHAT HAPPENED: Oof, Shelby's timing is terrible. As she's reeling from new information that her parents are still alive -- and we're celebrating the fact that her mother will be played by Kelly Rutherford -- she runs out into the woods just as a group of terrorists invades Quantico. Raina is delivering Charlie to Miranda when the attack happens, and when they arrive, Charlie tearfully admits that he could have prevented the attack -- as Miranda has long feared, he wasn't kidnapped, but used the situation to report FBI information back to this very terrorist group. Raina takes Charlie back to Miranda's house, while the terrorists are taken down at Quantico (Will saves Liam so they're totally cool now), but one terrorist escapes and shows up at Miranda's house. He tries to get Charlie to prove his allegiance by shooting his mother, but Charlie shoots him instead. And that seems like a very happy turn... until Miranda shoots her son to get him out of the FBI sniper's shot range, followed by the sniper also shooting him on the way down. Not that they ever were, but things are reallynot looking good for Charlie now.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: And that's not even mentioning the present timeline where "Adult A" calls Alex to tell her if she doesn't plant a pill bottle with a tracking device in Sen. Hass' purse, someone close to her will die... again. Hannah is there to stop her at every corner, but finally a crazy plan from Alex brings her around -- she tells her the truth. Hannah ends the episode on the side of "unstable, out-of-control, paranoid Alex Parrish, America's Least Wanted," and that hopefully means many more absurd monologues from her to come. Of writing those solo speeches, showrunner Josh Safran told EW, "The second [Eliza Coupe] was cast, I just knew that character. I knew I wanted Hannah to be a different agent than I had seen, and I also knew from Eliza's work that she is capable of delivering a very long monologue ... In many ways, her character in Happy Endings went into my brain and came out as Hannah Wyland."

Togetherness Is the Best Little Show That Couldn't
HBO
COME TOGETHER: It's a damn shame that HBO has chosen not to renewTogetherness for a third season and EW recapper Sara Vilkomerson is saying so...
