THIS ISSUE: MasterChef, Mr. Robot, Kingdom, Suits, The Challenge TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT MasterChef Sends Home a Frontrunner Fox BECAUSE: "Rules are rules" should be embroidered and hung over theMasterChef judges' table after Wednesday night's episode. Following a grueling Team Challenge that highlights both Nathan and Diamond as season 7's weak remaining links, Andrea is eliminated. While her bratwurst on a toasted pretzel bun is so good that Gordon Ramsay makes the other contestants all try a bite, her sprinting skills don't meet the same standards -- she arrives at the judges' table with her plate three seconds after the final bell. The judges inform her of their new motto (rules are rules, have you heard?) and send her packing. Mr. Robot USA Network WHAT HAPPENED: Finally, the gang is back together again! Kind of. With Agent DiPierro and the FBI getting closer and closer to fsociety, Darlene decides to reach out to Angela when it becomes clear they'll need a physical drop at the FBI's Evil Corp headquarters in order to fully gain control of their system. Of course, Elliot doesn't want Angela involved in fsociety shenanigans, but given that a federal investigation will lead right to her "mixtape" CD hack at Allsafe, she agrees. And they're right to be worried -- the FBI is closing in. Wednesday's episode finds DiPierro and her team in China for a meeting with the Minister of State Security, who is the male persona of Whiterose. DiPierro suggests to him that China's Dark Army might be culpable in the FBI's investigations, and next thing you know, the FBI's field trip to one of E Corp's Chinese server farms turns deadly when two masked men breeze in and start shooting at DiPierro's team. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: DiPierro isn't the only one in trouble -- Elliot is finally back in the hacking business, and it's just as dangerous as the inside of his brain. After helping fsociety out with the FBI, Elliot decides to take a peek at the goings on a little closer to home. He discovers that the seemingly sweet Ray has illegal business transactions, including selling abducted children. Just as Elliot decides that taking down Ray means he would be targeting someone on his own, not a target fed to him by Mr. Robot, Ray's goons show up to give him a true bad guy beat down. Fade to black. While we're mourning over Ray's evil reveal, creator/executive producer Sam Esmail told EW it's all with a reason: "For Ray, he's the guy looking the other way. He's making a lot of money, but he's trying to ignore what's being bought and sold on there," said Esmail. "Elliot is trying to not be that vigilante anymore. I just thought, here we have two guys in murky areas in their lives, and they cross paths. What does that look like? What are the effects of that?" Kingdom AT&T's Audience Network WHAT HAPPENED: We hope you had ice cream and a blanket on hand for Wednesday's Kingdom finale, because it was a doozy. As EW recapper Samantha Highfill sums it up, "Season 2's final hour deals a lot with the idea of loneliness, and with different individuals trying to find ways in which they can feel whole again." Ryan and Jay have their big fight coming up, and as Jay tries to focus on feeling anything other than the lingering loss of Ava, Ryan hopes that winning this fight might fill the void inside him. Ryan does win, but it's not the win that makes him feel less lonely -- it's the conversation that comes with Lisa. He's able to open up about his father, and she opens up about her miscarriage. It's a sweet and necessary conversation that ends with a make-out session. Also necessary for two characters: the tentative forgiveness between Christina and Jay after she writes him a letter. "I am so deeply sorry for the pain I have put you through, for the innocence I cost you, and for not truly being your mother," she shares. "I can never love you enough to make up for it, but I'm going to try." WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: The episode is especially emotional when Nate goes to collect his brother and bring him home, finally giving him the opportunity to tell Jay that he's gay. Jay tells Nate it doesn't change a thing, and now we hope you packed some tissues along with that blanket. Season 2 has been quite the emotional journey for Jay, and Wednesday's finale seems like a turning point. Of losing his fight against Ryan, actor Jonathan Tucker told EW, "I've been emotionally torn asunder ... There's some religiosity involved where the body has to be broken along with the spirit in order for one to come to a place of healing," said Tucker. "I think that letter that Joanna [Going, who plays Christina] reads to me is almost like a hot piece of metal that is, in many ways, violently attempting to cauterize me." Let's just hope all the pain was worth it. The Real Housewives of New York City Bravo WHAT HAPPENED: Shade bombs were organized and planted in last week's episode of RHONY, and on Wednesday night, it's almost time to detonate. It has been established that LuAnn's new fiancé Tom has had, uh, relations with two of her besties/coworkers: Ramona went on a few dates with him (though the number is up for contention at LuAnn's engagement party), and Sonja apparently had sex with him recently. At her engagement party, however, LuAnn continues to claim that anything B.L. -- before Lu, obviously -- doesn't matter. But what about during Lu? The ladies finally make the voyage from Palm Springs to Miami, where Bethenny is patiently waiting with the dirt she's been given on Tom and deciding how exactly to tell her main frenemy LuAnn. How does one tell a friend that there's photographic evidence the man she's most giddily engaged to was recently spotted swapping spit in a very public place with a model? WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: Bravo is going to have to give Tom an apple to hold in the opening credits if he keeps commandeering this much ofRHONY's screen time. As Vulture points out, "The women spend so much time talking about this one man that a show starring six middle-aged womendoesn't even pass the Bechdel Test because every conversation revolves around their relationships with men. No, not men -- a man. One single man and his name is Tom. Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom. This episode sounds like taking attendance at a Boy Scout meeting in Dublin." But to be fair, this Tom stuff is juicy, and it's only going to get juicier when Bethenny drops her bomb. Of course the problem with reality TV is that a simple Google search can tell you exactly how much Bethenny's intel affects LuAnn, but it's always fun to see the ladies squirm, right? One More Thing... The Challenge: Rivals III Earns Its Name MTV ONCE A SNAKE...: On Wednesday's season finale of The Challenge: Rivals III, the final three teams are given the opportunity to split the money evenly with their former rival or secretly choose to keep all the money for themselves. We'll give you one guess what happens with the winning pair, John "Johnny Bananas" Devenanzio and Sarah Rice.
