THIS ISSUE: The Good Wife, Girls, Fear the Walking Dead, Vinyl, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT The Good Wife Has a Bad Husband CBS BECAUSE: In the fourth episode before The Good Wife's goodbye, Alicia finally bid adieu to her awful husband on Sunday night. Or rather, she officially welcomed super hot not-husband Jason into her life. Though Alicia puts her wifely hat on one last time to protect Peter as he's arrested and offered a plea deal for three years in prison, putting them right back where they were three years ago is enough to make her fess up to Jason that she's leaving Peter. Why? Because she doesn't want to be his (good) wife anymore. And what doesshe want, Jason asks. "You." READ OUR RECAP Girls HBO WHAT HAPPENED: Who run the world? (Character growth of) GIRLS! Sunday's season 5 finale capped off what's more and more felt like the bestGirls season yet. Or as EW recapper Chancellor Agard says, "If not the best, then it's definitely the most earnest and empathetic so far." For main girl Hannah, that's simply meant growing up a little bit -- in the season 5 finale, she maturely ends things with Fran, appropriately quits her job (no Basic Instinct-ing this time), spends the day with her frenemy Tally, and in the best scene of the night, gets up onstage to tell a story about her life. And that story is about a fight we just saw -- and Hannah just overheard -- between Jessa and Adam. Adam wants Hannah not to be a part of their lives anymore; Jessa wants him to understand that Hannah's friendship will always be the most important to her and that she'll never forgive him for turning her into someone who'd betray a friend; and Hannah... Hannah left a fruit basket on the doorstep and tells the audience, "I heard the madness, and I knew I was free." WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: But the finale wasn't all so dramatic: Shoshanna dressed like Harriet the Spy! Elijah bonded with Hannah's parents (okay, and also got his heart broken). And Marnie and Ray got back together.Even while rolling around on the floor with him after having a sex dream featuring Ray with Khaleesi hair, ol' Marn thinks, "It can't be [Ray]," but we all know she's wrong: it can only be Ray... right?! Ray himself, Alex Karpovsky, who also directed the first episode of Sunday's two-part finale had this to tell TVLine about Ray and Marnie's future: "It boils down to how much they want it to work ... If they're both willing to actually do the work -- have some honesty, some surrender and some courage -- there is a chance they can make it work. Whether these two people are willing to put forth that effort at the same time, that's where I have my doubts sometimes." READ OUR RECAP Fear the Walking Dead AMC WHAT HAPPENED: The Abigail is setting down its anchor -- for a moment at least. While trying to evade the mystery boat that's been chasing them, Strand allows the gang to dock the boat on a cove where they soon find a light blinking at the top of the house. Naturally, Travis and his extended family go to check things out, shouting a holler as he nears the place because, as EW recapper Jonathon Dornbush says, "If there's one thing people love in the undead apocalypse, it's unwelcome guests." But these people aren't so bad... they're just survivalists with a secret stash of pills to "Jonestown" into gradual deaths. Actually, that's just the dad; as it turns out, the mom flashed the house lights at The Abigail on purpose, hoping someone might come rescue her kids. And though Maddie and Travis are willing to take her two younger ones back on the boat, the little girl dies from too many "power pills" first, comes back as a walker, and bites her mother. They do make it away from the island with the little boy though, and you know who's not going to be happy about that... WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: STRAND. And probably not just for his average curmudgeonly reasons, but also because he fielded a mystery call on Sunday night's episode, telling someone that The Abigail is no longer being followed, and asking how late "it" can be pushed. Only 'til sundown apparently. The questions about Strand's silent plan are adding up, and one of the few people who knows where any of it is headed, showrunner Dave Erickson, had a few tantalizing teases regarding the matter for EW: "We're going to have a confrontation, because this information that Daniel has procured, the map that he has found, and his realization that Mexico is in their future is going to be information that he can't keep to himself. And the question of where we're going and why we're going there is going to become far more important, and you'll see some head-butting between Madison and Strand." Now that's a formidable head-butt. READ OUR RECAP Vinyl HBO WHAT HAPPENED: EW recapper Leah Greenblatt says, "If we've learned anything about Richie Finestra by now, it's that he has an ear for talent, a knack for hustling, and a nose for uncountable kilos of cocaine." It turns out, those talents do not extend to narc-ing, as Richie fails to mention to the Feds that Galasso shot Joe Corso dead right in front of him and Zak. But Sunday's season finale and the character of Richie Finestra shine much brighter in the portions that remind us that Richie is actually pretty good at his job. The Nasty Bits are finally opening for the New York Dolls at the Academy of Music with only a few minor problems: Kip took too much heroin to go onstage and he and Alex are fighting over Jamie. So Richie loads Kip up with cocaine, fires Jamie (from the band, not the label), hits the Bits with a pep talk, and calls the police on his own band, limiting them to one song, but getting them tons of street cred. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: And for those Nasty Bits scenes alone, we want to like Vinyl. While there is something inherently exciting about a series that showcases music in the '70s, following the season 1 finale, The New York Times said, "The Galasso plotlines on Vinyl have been fitfully entertaining, but they're the show's fundamental error. The creators didn't have enough faith in the entertainment value of the music business. Too often, the record label has been treated like a colorful backdrop for one more organized-crime story. Sure, there have been mobbed-up record labels in the real world -- but when the series dwells on Galasso, it feels like we're eating the leftovers stashed at the back of Martin Scorsese's refrigerator." So let's give the people what they want in season 2 -- give them ROCK AND ROLL! READ OUR RECAP One More Thing...
