Last Night's TV

THIS ISSUE: Nashville, The Americans, Survivor, Younger, Broad City TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT It's a Nice Day for a Nashville Wedding ABC BECAUSE: For the last week, ABC has been touting the wedding everyone has been waiting for, and whether you're actually a Deacon/Rayna fan or not, those two crazy, country kids finally tied the knot on Wednesday night'sNashville. It's a quiet little affair, with paparazzi, objections from Daphne and Maddie, a brief exit by the groom, and certified freak-outs from just about every guest in attendance. Happily ever after, y'all! READ OUR RECAP The Americans FX WHAT HAPPENED: Ah, the memories of youth -- birthday parties, bicycle rides, beating a young boy over the head with a rock until he dies. Well, that last one is just for Philip, who's haunted by the violent memory throughout theAmericans' season 4 premiere. In the present tense, things are equally grim: Philip tells Martha that to keep her safe he had to frame her colleague Gene as the mole, and fake his suicide. She is... not thrilled to be implicated in a murder. Plus, Philip and Elizabeth have a new assignment pertaining to the Cold War's shift from nuclear to biological. They acquire a vial from a scientist who informs them that the biological agent is Glanders: "This is to meningitis what bubonic plague is to a runny nose." The episode ends with Philip holding the vial of pending biological warfare up to the flickering light of his garage, wondering if it was damaged in the tussle he just had with Stan, who accuses him of sneaking around with Sandra. Things should be fine -- everything should be totally, 100 percent fine. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: The season 4 premiere leaves one big lingering question, and HitFix is ready to ask and answer it: "Did the vial crack? It doesn't look like it... But Philip holding that vial up to the flickering garage light, terrified of what he might see, is a pretty powerful and damning metaphor for the state of his career, family, and life in general as our story resumes. Philip and Elizabeth's secret identity is the plague, being protected in a manner nearly as flimsy as that tin, on the verge of cracking open and unleashing destruction on everyone around it. And the longer they hold onto it, the greater the danger becomes of the plague being exposed." In Wednesday night's episode, Paige cracks and lets Pastor Tim in on her family's little secret... who's next? READ OUR RECAP Survivor CBS WHAT HAPPENED: All together now: MEEEEEERGE! As a result of Colton's unexpected medical evacuation, instead of simply merging Beauty, Brains, and the ever-dwindling Brawn into two new tribes -- Chan Lo and Gondol -- one person will also draw a red Buff, sending them back to Brawn beach all alone, only able to rejoin after Tribal Council sends someone packing. The person left to her own devices is former Beauty Julia, and after Chan Lo gets smoked in the puzzle portion of the immunity challenge, it's fellow Beauty members Tai and Anna who are on their tribe's chopping block. That is, until Tai reveals that he has a hard-earned immunity idol he'd be willing to contribute to the cause of getting Peter and Peter's ego out. Anna signs onto that plan, not knowing that Tai's new bestie Scot (RIP #Taileb) has convinced him that the others are voting for Anna, so he should save his idol for the final merge. So long, Anna... WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: Or shall we say, see you next time? Though Wednesday's episode was our first real glimpse of Anna's gameplay, as Beauty never had to go to Tribal, host Jeff Probst told EW she was and is one to watch: "I think Anna has a LOT more game in her. She is a hustler, a negotiator, great in challenges, and a person willing to throw others under the bus to save herself. What's not to like! She might be a great 'Second Chance' nominee! READ OUR RECAP Younger TV Land WHAT HAPPENED: Watching Younger always involves a certain suspension of disbelief, but as EW recapper Amy Wilkinson points out, with Wednesday's "deus ex machina twist involving Thad... We might have crossed over into the absurd." But let's start with the ever-so-slightly less absurd homage that fuels the episode: Empirical Publishing's most profitable franchise is Crown of Kingswritten by bespectacled, bebearded author Edward L.L. Moore. In Younger'sworld, Moore is a creeper who insists on Liza dressing up as his main character (her catchphrase: "Beware the wrath of the sky!") for the Times Square release of the fantasy series' final volume. And while Liza runs around in a fur bikini, Thad manages to run into her daughter Caitlin, and a quick perusal of the Dartmouth database reveals the full truth about her age. Thad meets with Liza to threaten her job if she doesn't delete his incriminating video from last week, but Liza flat-out refuses and leaves... just as a metal beam falls down on Thad from the construction above. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: WHAT?! Surely no one was expecting that -- Thad is gone. Of course on shows like, oh let's just say, Game of Thrones, we know not to count someone out until you see a body, and even then you never know. On that note, TV Fanatic points out, "[Thad's incident] almost had a supernatural vibe to it. As soon as Liza was willing to put her own life on the line for Kelsey's, destiny stepped in and plucked the life of the jackass right off of the planet. Only the good survive and all that jazz!" Parade took the beam drop a touch more, uh, literally: "It's a not so gentle reminder to beware the wrath of the sky." READ OUR RECAP One More Thing... Broad City Becomes BFFs with Hillary Comedy Central THE THREE BEST FRIENDS THAT ANYONE COULD HAVE: While it's pretty incredible that Hillary Clinton would agree to a cameo on Wednesday's episode of Broad City, it makes all the sense in the world that Abbi and Ilana would absolutely lose their minds over encountering her. Broad City's music supervisor Matt FX explained to EW how he soundtracked the moment: "It's bombastic and it's very regal and there's a lot of brass." Again... all the sense in the world. READ OUR RECAP
