THIS ISSUE: The Good Wife, Game of Thrones, Fear the Walking Dead, Quantico, Madam Secretary TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT The Good Wife Says 'Bye Alicia' CBS BECAUSE: Not with a bang but with a slap did The Good Wife take its official bow from television. In the series finale, everything isn't tied into a nice, neat bow for Alicia Florrick, but she has come a long way since the series premiere (even if slaps are often a feature in defining moments of her life). But as the very welcome apparition of Will Gardner told his former love, "Nothing's ever over -- remember that." Game of Thrones HBO WHAT HAPPENED: It was a big night for the Starks (well, all the non-ginger Starks, at least) on Game of Thrones. Jon Snow kept that whole "being alive" thing going on Sunday night, shocking the hell out of Davos and Melisandre. He debuts himself to the remaining Night's Watch members and Wildlings, executes his betrayers, and hands his black cloak over to Dolorous Edd saying, "My watch has ended." And if you thought Jon quitting the Night's Watch was dramatic, wait 'til you get ahold of this: Bran took another tree-trip to the past with the Three-Eyed Raven and saw his father Ned Stark at the end of Robert's Rebellion, arriving at the Tower of Joy in Dorne, presumably to rescue his sister Lyanna. Only double-sword-wielding Ser Arthur Dayne stands between Ned and his men -- and apparently that's all that's necessary. Left alone, Ned is nearly bested by Dayne until one of his men gets a last burst of energy and not-so-nobly stabs Dayne in the back. It's interesting and all, but Bran speaks for all of us when he asks, "What's in the tower?" In Braavos, Arya makes it through a medieval training montage and gets her eyesight back as a reward. So that just leaves... RICKON! That's right, the lil'est Stark is finally back (and silent as ever). Though he's now in the possession of Ramsay, which is... not ideal. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: With all these Stark happenings, it continues to feel like the whole world is circling around Jon Snow, waiting for him and his siblings to bring some decency back to the North. And with his Night's Watch oath ditched (Jon kind of found a loophole with that "It shall not end until my death..." bit), and one mild existential crisis brewing, star Kit Harington hinted to EW that the time might finally be right. Referring to Jon's conversation with Melisandre where she asks what he saw after death and he responds that there was, "Nothing at all," Harington elaborated, "That cuts right to our deepest fear, that there's nothing after death. And that's the most important line in the whole season for me. Jon's never been afraid of death, and that's made him a strong and honorable person. He realizes something about his life now: He has to live it because that's all there is." Fear the Walking Dead AMC WHAT HAPPENED: There were quite a few tradesies and double-crossies going down on Fear the Walking Dead on Sunday night. Alicia and Chris both blame themselves for Travis' capture, and as Alicia attempts to rescue herself and her father from within Connor's custody, Chris continues to... be the absolute effin' worst. From the moment he's told to "not engage" with Reed, you just know the kid's going to mess it up. And sure enough, when Maddie organizes a trade of Reed for Travis and Alicia, Chris manages to shoot Reed -- somewhere in the distance, "Is it too late now to say sorry..." plays on loop -- and he turns. But it takes more than a little teen angst to slow Daniel down, and he proposes they just put a bag over Reed's head, and still trade Zombie-Reed for their crew. And it works! It kind of doubly works that the moment Connor takes the bag off of his head, Reed takes a big zombie chunk out of him. Jack is still hanging around and mad at Alicia for ditching him for her family, but other than that, the FTWD crew might have just made it out of this scuffle... WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: And they did so through a pretty wonky plan that brought more Weekend at Bernie vibes to Sunday's episode than we were expecting. But IGN says they can forgive Daniel's oldest trick in the bag-over-the-head book for two reasons: "For one (sigh), the zombocalypse is still new to people so maybe they can't instantly recognize a zombie walk or death gurgle... Secondly, I just automatically back whatever Daniel's play is. He -- much like Strand and Nick -- is a character I feel makes sound, if not sometimes cold, decisions. And those are the characters we, as astute zombie movie/TV show viewers, easily latch onto." Plus, the whole surprise zombie maneuver is a bit of an homage to the The Walking Dead comic book series. Quantico ABC WHAT HAPPENED: It looks like the bad guy has finally been revealed onQuantico. No, seriously -- we mean it this time! While Alex is LARP-ing the movie Speed all over New York City, the rest of the gang spent the present-day portion of Sunday's episode cracking the code on The Voice (still not the NBC singing competition show). Between the senator and Shelby -- working together against all odds -- Miranda is convinced to release Caleb, Raina, and Ryan to help... the gang's all here! But not for long; Miranda makes a mysterious exit about the time we're figuring out that Drew is "the voice" behind Alex's bomb instructions but he's not The Voice. He and Simon have been tied up, forced by someone to give the instructions, but they manage to get Simon out of imprisonment to tell Alex it's all a scam; unfortunately Drew reaches a much more fatal end. And Miranda... well, she's by herself, staking out a building, and as she rounds a corner, she's shot. She asks the shooter, "Why are you doing this?" And Liam responds, "To make things right." WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: LIAM! We should have known! At some point we probably did -- it's just so hard to keep up. And while Miranda knows Liam is (probably) the one behind all of this, and we now know he's (probably) the big bad baddie, everyone else at the FBI is still in the dark, and Miranda is lying on the ground with a gunshot wound. Quanitco showrunner Josh Safran assured EW that Liam is without a doubt The Voice, and he also wanted to make sure viewers know, "The bloodshed is not over." We'll learn how and why Liam has been doing so much bad on his own in next week's finale, but if you want to a little digging before that, Safran teases, "I knew it was Liam from the very beginning and if you look, it really was clear in every speech that he gave them." Looks like we've got some rewatchin' to do... One More Thing... Madam Secretary's Name-Changing Reveal CBS SECOND IN COMMAND: Madam Secretary aired its season 2 premiere on Sunday night, and we can't know for sure, but it looks like Selina Meyer might not be TV's only reluctant Veep anymore...
