TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT
A Biannual Save-One-Eliminate-One Special
NBC
BECAUSE: The Voice reckoning cometh. In each young Voice season's life (as of last season, at least), there comes a time when America must mercilessly axe half of its remaining contestant inventory live on the air. Tuesday was that night, and the chosen tributes continuing on to the season 10 finals are Adam Wakefield, Alisan Porter, Hannah Huston, and after singing Bob Dylan for his life in the Twitter instant save, Laith Al-Saadi nabbed that final spot (and the right to put this very absurd fact on his Wikipedia page).

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
ABC
WHAT HAPPENED: Between Daisy's prophecy and the two-hour runtime, someone was bound to not make it through Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s season 4 finale. And after following Yo-Yo's necklace around all episode (you may have noticed it was present on the quinjet in Daisy's vision), that someone turned out to be Lincoln, who sacrificed himself to save his main girl Daisy and our very fave planet plant, Earth. Oh, and technically there was one more death, because the Inhuman to rule them all was up there too. Daisy was fully ready to make the last minute sacrifice of piloting a captured Hive and the Zephyr straight into outer space to detonate the warhead, ending his Inuman rule altogether, but Lincoln hid out in the cockpit and pushed Daisy out of the jet, saving her and sacrificing himself at the last second. And hopefully it was all worth it...
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: In the finale's final scene we see Daisy six months in the future, decked out in emo-wear, helping Inhumans, and on the run from S.H.I.E.L.D., of which Coulson no longer seems to be director. On the latter bit, executive producers Jed Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, Jeph Loeb and Jeff Bell stayed mostly mum when speaking with EW: "Let's just say that as a result of what's happened, there will be some changes that happened to the organization." As for Daisy, even though she's on her own, the EPs say she may be running from S.H.I.E.L.D., but she's doing her best to keep her other, more Inhuman promises: "I don't think she's going to take [Lincoln's] sacrifice lightly and crawl up in a ball -- maybe she did for a while -- about what that meant. She didn't get to do the one heroic act that would erase all that she had done, so now she's going to have to do a ton of little ones for the rest of her life."




NCIS
CBS
WHAT HAPPENED: After 13 seasons, Special Agent Tony DiNozzo has left the building. Tuesday's season 13 finale marked Michael Weatherly's last NCISepisode, and the long-running series saw its charming frontman out in bittersweet style. First, the bitter: Ziva did indeed die in the farmhouse in Tel Aviv, and Tony isn't coping with it well, encouraged by both his father and his father figure (Gibbs, killin' it as always) to take some time away. And now, the sweet: Tony gets a visit from the Mossad Director who's brought the lone survivor of the fire to the United States: a child... Ziva's child... Tony's child. Ziva didn't tell Tony about their child so as to not interrupt his life, but had come to regret the decision before her death. And it becomes clear that little Tali knows Tony is her "Aba," her father, and after Trent Kort is taken care of (he gets, like, super killed by the whole team), Tony decides to be exactly that: "I've never been anybody's everything before."
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: So in Tony's last moments onscreen, he recites the NCIS (Very) Special Agent Creed, turns in his badge, and leaves that big orange room for one last time, on to a different life with his daughter. It's the stuff of didn't-see-these-coming procedural tears, and you better believe more than a few were shed for actor Michael Weatherly, as well. If you're looking to pour a little salt into the DiNozzo-size wound in your heart, might we recommend checking out the NCIS twitter, plus its actor's feeds for nostalgia nuggets like Pauley Perrette and Weatherly sharing their final hug on set and executive producer Gary Glasberg's words about DiNozzo/Weatherly's last episode: "The result you're about to see came from our hearts. We wanted to send viewers on an unexpected emotional roller coaster ride. NCIS has never been predictable. Tonight's season finale was no exception."

The Flash
The CW
WHAT HAPPENED: Oh, Earth-Two -- couldn't you just lay off sweet Barry for one minute? Barry is riding high off of last week's experience with the speed force all episode, even in the face of Earth-Two's Black Siren (regular earth's Katie Cassidy, back at it again with the Canary Cry!) wreaking havoc on Earth-One in the name of Zoom. Finally, the bad dude himself arrives after the STAR Labs team has managed to round all the other Earth-Two metahumans up into the Pipeline. That won't stand -- neither Barry's resounding happiness nor the Earth-Two captures -- so Zoom rudely interrupts family dinner to kidnap Henry and take him to his childhood home. He thinks Barry needs to realize that they're no different, and that means watching yet another parent die; Henry has beautiful, fatherly words for his son before he goes, but ultimately, Zoom plunges his vibrating fist into his chest and kills Barry's second parent.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: So, yes, that was a bit of a mood-killer, even for the ever-cheerful Barry. After a huge swing in the right direction for Team Flash, Henry's death is making the future, and their ability to defeat Doom look particularly grim, and TVLine needs some answers: "Damn you, Zoom! Why do you want to make sweet Barry your Earth One mirror image: A guy super-powered solely by bitterness and selfishness, a guy who'd let a skyscraper full of innocent people collapse if it meant he could get an edge on the competition?" Our belief in Barry's propensity for good is nearly endless, but we'll also take a little solace in this glimmer of hope TVLine offered post-Zoom-rant: "Henry and Dr. McGee eyed each other like two hyenas looking at an impala carcass -- and I can't imagine the show's writers would introduce that November lovin' if the former character was dead-dead-dead, right?" Right?!

NOT SO 'UGE: How was Megyn Kelly's much-talked-about sit-down with (nemesis) Donald Trump on Tuesday night? Very, very, very, very, very...meh.
