THIS ISSUE: Broad City, Survivor, Nashville, Empire, Time Traveling Bong TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT BFFs On A Plane Comedy Central BECAUSE: Broad City wrapped up another stellar season on Wednesday night and this time, there's a good reason for storing their weed in nature's pocket: Abby and Ilana spend almost the entire episode on an airplane traveling to Israel. And while we'll eagerly await the spinoff of Tymberlee Hill and Tracee Ellis Ross' hilarious flight attendants, Tuesday's finale was all aboutBroad City doing what Broad City does best: two best friends, talking about relatable life issues ("It's like fruit-on-the-bottom"). And by the end of it all, they're in zip-tie handcuffs, being shipped back to America after they're briefly suspected of a terrorist plot while talking about periods and searching for a tampon. Come back soon, ladies. READ OUR RECAP Survivor CBS WHAT HAPPENED: Ooooh, how the mighty have fallen... from their very, very tall perches. Scot and Jason have spent every moment since the merge sucking sweet, beautiful soul Tai into their macho-man alliance, but it seems that Aubry has spent just as much time establishing a personal connection and figuring out how to get him out of there. Aubry proposes they work together in some way, and then Tai proposes that to Jason and Scot, only to have themcompletely disregard every single thing he says. They then respond, "How about this idea? At the next Tribal, we take Aubry out," meaning not even Jason's Immunity necklace and Immunity idol combined could keep them safe from Tai flipping. Oh, that moment at Tribal Council when Scot sits there waiting for Tai to bail him out with the Super Idol, only for Tai to say, "Sorry, no," was such sweet, sweet revenge for Scot and Jason's "either you're with us or you're out" arrogance all episode. And Scot left with Jason's Immunity Idol in his pocket. This season is so bananas! WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: No one can blame Tai for the decision he made -- Jason and Scot were not only running around camp saying things like, "From here on out, we're unstoppable," (a cardinal Survivor sin if ever there was one), but they also straight-up told Julia that of course they plan to eventually get rid of Tai because they could never beat him in the end. But the decision to betray Scot was still obviously a tough one for Tai. Host Jeff Probst explained the chicken-lover's position a little further to EW, "The biggest issue Tai seems to have is that his big moves come with an emotional price tag ... Whether he is showing it or not, I get the sense that Tai wants to be liked, and when he is defensive it's because it's difficult for him to accept his own behavior. Add it to the list of reasons why Survivor is an ass kicker of a game." READ OUR RECAP Nashville ABC WHAT HAPPENED: After a few weeks of upbeat episodes, Wednesday's hour brought Nashville back to pure chaos -- now that's the Nashville we know.Maddie has run away; Avery jumps on as Layla's band leader at the last minute; Autumn will not stop hitting on Gunnar; oh, and Riff is in a hospital in New Orleans because he had a stroke after a three-day binge on booze, pills, and escorts. So things are going well! When Luke goes to see about Riff, he asks Avery to fill in for him onstage with Avery, which gets Juliette all in a twist, and somehow leads to her getting herself put on this tour (that apparently just takes anyone at any time) alongside Luke. But that's really the minor stuff -- when Rayna and Deacon finally find Maddie hiding out at Cash's house, she informs them that she's spoken to a lawyer and she thinks she has grounds for an emancipation... WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: MADDIE! We get it -- teenagers -- but, seriously, what is with this kid? We don't understand how Lennon Stella (and Maisy, duh) can be so charming in real life, but play such a stinker on TV. Hopefully Deacon and Rayna can be a little more level-headed about their daughter's behavior, but we're with TVLine's assessment of this one: "Does anyone have Colt's grandpa's phone number? He's got a track record of helping overindulged kids mature into young adults, and something makes me think a summer of mucking stalls, driving tractors and filling feed bins would do Maddie's bratty soul a world of good." READ OUR RECAP Empire Fox WHAT HAPPENED: Things are looking worrisome for Boo Boo Kitty. When Rhonda and Andre realize she's carrying Hakeem's child, they decide to put her in front of the entire Lyon clan -- not really a place you want to be... ever -- where Cookie calls her a "trick-ass ho" and Lucious reveals that Lola is in fact the child of a fella named Marcus Jones. Lucious then shows up in Anika's living room and offers her $10 million to give the baby to Hakeem and get out of their lives for good. She declines, despite Lucious' charmer of a parting line: "A lot of women -- they don't survive childbirth." Dude -- NUH UH! In addition to threatening a pregnant woman's life, Lucious also manages to sabotage Hakeem at the shareholder's meeting, but to make up for all of that, he takes Andre to his grandmother's grave to do some bonding over mental illness. And since we're on the subject of Grandma Lyons -- looks like she might not be quite so dead after all... see ya next time, Empire! WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: This episode has it all: family drama; music industry talk; paternity tests; and fake dead people. And yes, the majority of Wednesday's episode is taken up by the shareholders meeting, which was actually a pretty logical affair (just ignore that childbirth threat from earlier), leading Vulture to start its recap off by saying, "When Empire strips everything down and deals with the particulars of running a music company, it really shines." But, of course, this is Empire, so by the time that Leah Lyons, a.k.a. Lucious' supposed-to-be-dead mom, a.k.a. Kelly Rowland in old lady makeup, pops up, Vulture's review has given into the madness of this series: "All I have to say is WHAT WHAT WHAT THIS IS A TWIST TOO EXTREME EVEN FOR EMPIRE. First, Lucious lies about his name. Now, his mother is alive. I hope the season finale reveals that Lucious is really Zoe Saldana with a nose prosthetic." Now, there's a thought...

But hey, it's actually pretty funny, and look -- there are cavemen!
