THIS ISSUE: The Bachelorette, Person of Interest, Feed the Beast, The Mindy Project TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT Bros Can Run, But Can't Hide from Chad ABC BECAUSE: Okay, we shouldn't be surprised that Monday's Bachelorettecliffhanger where Chad was storming back into the mansion threatening to sever many limbs from his many, many roommates/co-boyfriends did not amount to the blood indicated in the previews. But the dreaded two-on-one date with Chad and Alex on Tuesday night? Tarantino-levels of (metaphorical) bloodshed. Chad says if Alex brings him up with JoJo, "I'll be taking his teeth home." Alex talks about Chad the entire time. JoJo finally, finally becomes concerned with what she's hearing. Chad wanders through the woods whistling like a horror movie villain. JoJo gives the rose to Alex. To quote Chad: "Life ain't all blueberries and paper airplanes."

The Bachelorette ABC WHAT HAPPENED: But wait -- there's more! Oh yes, it takes much more than a simple dismissal to get rid of the Chadster. After all, the other fellas have been struggling with feeling unsafe around him for days, and Tuesday's episode leaves the safety of L.A. in exchange for the woods of Pennsylvaniawhere no one can hear 18 bros scream. After a patented Chris Harrison scolding, Chad kind of apologizes to the other men, but mostly just tells them to leave him alone. They say, sure, they can do that, because they want to keep all their limbs (except Evan, who values getting a replacement maroon tee more than his arms). There's a pool party; Luke gets a solo date, a scene of him chopping wood like a Nicholas Sparks protagonist, and a rose; but really it's all about that final scene. After Chad and Alex have this inexplicable exchange at the two-on-one -- "Hay's in the barn, dude," says Alex; "Pigs are in the castle," responds Chad -- and Chad is given the boot, he returns to the guys' house and peers inside, slowly running his fingers down the glass door... WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: This season of The Bachelorette has become a horror movie, and after three episodes of Chad threatening to tear his co-boyfriends apart, we're still not rid of him. Vulture at least tried to get behind the guy a little bit in their recap: "The CHAD usually just minds his own business, eating entire heads of cabbage and deadlifting patio chairs while the rest of the contesticles murmur about him behind his back or to JoJo ... his presence on The Bachelorette doesn't require him to interact with the other contesticles. He could sit in his room eating whole ham hocks until it's time for the rose ceremony and no one would mind." But as we know, Chad finished all the house's ham hocks the second day he was there -- now he's rose-less, rule-less, and probably hungry. Two weeks until we know What Chad Did Last Summer.

Person of Interest CBS WHAT HAPPENED: In the wake of Root's tragic death, Person of Interestgoes on in Tuesday's episode, as does the Machine's new trick of adopting her voice. Team Machine has plenty to distract them, anyway: they've got a new number and it belongs to the president of the United States. They figure out that the attack on the president will be made from a drone that they're unable to disrupt, so instead of putting the drone off course, they put the president off course -- by shooting at him. The Secret Service is kind of peeved, but Logan, Joey, and Harper show up to get Shaw and Reese out of there. We later find out that they were sent there because they received Reese's number. That's right -- there's another Team Machine out there and there might be more. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: After the reveal that there are other teams out there working for the greater good, plus Finch securing Ice9, the virus that could destroy Samaritan but also have "significant collateral damage with devastating consequences," it's clear that we are barreling toward Person of Interest's series finale. And TVLine has the first photos of that series finale -- set to air June 21 on CBS -- that feature Team Machine in their subway lair trying to destroy Samaritan once and for all (though we know from the season premiere's flash-forward that lair is also destined to be destroyed). Co-showrunner Jonah Nolan told TVLine, "The working title of the episode -- before we settled on 'return 0,' which is a vestige of my old days as a coder -- had been, 'Everyone Dies Alone,' which reflected our mood at that moment." And co-showrunner Greg Plageman chimed in, "We thought that we was too upbeat!" Oh, gentlemen -- please don't break our hearts.

The Mindy Project Hulu WHAT HAPPENED: Nothing says fun like a road trip, especially when it involves Mindy Lahiri, her current partner in Unresolved Sexual Tension, his current allergy-ridden girlfriend, and Morgan (and Morgan's Tim Gunn impression). In Tuesday's episode, Mindy is invited to Princeton, her alma mater, to give a Laterbaby presentation, and even though she's excited to present on her own so she can sing her parody song, "Ain't Too Proud to Egg," Jody postpones his weekend trip with new girlfriend Courtney to help with the presentation. But when they get there, they realize the room has been double-booked with the football team's recruiting session. Luckily, the football team has a cute coach who just so happened to be in the same class as Mindy at Princeton, so they work it out, and Mindy kills it at the recruiting session. Later, Jody finds the belt buckle Mindy got him in Texas and goes to talk to her about it, but since Morgan interrupts, she ends up hooking up with the cute coach instead, sending Jody back to his sneezing, sweltering girlfriend. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: There are only four episodes left until The Mindy Project's season finale, and the A.V. Club was not loving the direction Tuesday's episode took, especially in comparison to last week's strong Texas installment. Although they concede that the jokes about Ivy League athletes were funny -- "We only allow athletes who can run a ten-minute mile or whose parents donate a building!" -- they've got questions about Mindy's hanky-panky with the coach: "Why is the coach's sex suggestion super-hot, where the same invitation last week was met with further contemplation? Although Mindy announces at the start of the episode that she's been on a journey of self-discovery, she seems to be exactly back where she was pre-Texas." Can't we have character growth and cute coaches?!
