Shondaland's Thursday lineup has come back full force, and it's only gaining speed from here!  Here's the recap for this week just in case you missed it (which is an OMG moment itself) or just need to remember what happened.

Life is Good Again!
Grey's Anatomy

Sledgehammer
Grey's Anatomy without Derek is extremely weird, which is to be expected.  However, life goes on, and everyone has to keep going.  Meredith wakes up to a bunch of banging downstairs which turns out to be Amelia busting the wall open!  Why would she do that? Because Meredith was joking about it the night before whilst she was drunk.  This leads to the two complaining to Maggie the whole time about the other and she finally makes them talk to each other at the end of the episode.
Other Important Things:
  • Bailey was intimidated by the other candidate for Chief of Surgery, but she ended up fighting for the position and now it's hers! 
  • April comes back and wants to talk to Jackson, but he in't in the mood to talk, so they're still working things out
  • On the bright side, Jo and Alex have their little studio apartment and things are going well, even if Alex talks about his depressing experiences of being a bullied fat kid
  • Arizona is looking for a new roommate, but nobody has picked her up on her offer (she was so desperate that she actually tore one of the things off her flyer!) until one of the new guys at the hospital asks about it 
  • Callie gets a little too involved with the big case of the week, involving two teenage girls who jump in front of a train because they can't be together (Maggie ended up punching the mother of one of the victims in the face though, and it was awesome!)



They're Exposed... Finally!

Heavy is the Head
 This episode followed the case of Princess Emily, who was a normal Iowa girl until she married her prince.  She has lived a life in the spotlight ever since and there was a lot of parallels between her relationship and Olitz (if they were to be exposed).  By the end of the episode, Olivia tells Fitz what she learned from this case, that they won't be able to make it in the public eye if they don't fix their issues first.  What happens right after this beautifully well written and executed monologue?  Everyone's favorite character Sally Langston has incriminating pictures exposing their relationship.  The big question now is, now that they're out to the public, will they be able to make their relationship work this time around?
Other Important Things:
  • Huck asks Olivia to fix him but she tells him that she doesn't know how to, so he goes to Jake
  • Fitz gave Mellie divorce papers!
  • On a better note, Mellie is sworn in as Senator of Virginia
  • Lizzie Bear has officially become Elizabeth North, Chief of Staff, which makes Abby nervous because she is waiting to be fired and Liz doesn't act the same way as Cyrus
  • If you thought Liz and Mellie were ever going to work together again, you're 100% wrong
  • Wondering where Quinn is?  She's still at OPA and told Huck not to come back until he tells Olivia what he did and fixes his problems
  • In case you were wondering, the Queen had the Princess assassinated because she was cheating on the Prince (with her bodyguard) and got pregnant

As if it wasn't already too much...
How to Get Away with Murder

It's Time to Move On
If you had any doubts about whether this season would be good or not, they should've gone away after last night! Just remember that, statistically, you're going to be murdered by someone you know! 
The case of the week follow two siblings who are accused of murdering their filthy rich parents.  Annalise earns her way to being their lawyer by tricking the other lawyer into presenting false evindence in the trial.  In the end of the episode, we flash forward two months at their house in the middle of the night.  There's a gunshot, then someone runs out, and it's Wes!  We go back to inside the house and see Annalise bleeding out on the floor, but she's still alive!  But the big question is if he did shoot her, why did he do it!?
Other Important Things:
  • Frank took care of Rebecca's dead body and he tries to prove Wes did it, but 
  • Bonnie was the one who killed Rebecca (by suffocation) because she didn't trust her
  • Everyone thinks Rebecca ran away until Laurel figures it out because she's awesome like that!
  • Annalise's ex girlfriend, Eve (who she left for Sam), comes for a visit because she's the lawyer Annalise told Nate to call at the end of last season.  She originally is against it, but ends up going for it in the end.
  • Michaela texted Eggs 911 on her phone at at the end of the episode, while she's clubbin' with the rest of the Keating Crew, she gets a reply, but doesn't see it.

A Shattered Heart by Tiffany King ~ Release Day

I'm so excited to share the release of  A Shattered Heart by Tiffany King. This book was so amazing and I would recommend this series to absolutely everyone!    


A Shattered Heart (Fractured Lives, #2)
From Tiffany King, USA Today Bestselling Author of A Shattered Moment, comes book 2 in the Fractured Lives Series.

A Shattered Heart is the story of Kathleen "Kat" Darby who discovers that although you can run away, you can never escape the ghosts from your past.

Physically, Kat Darby walked away relatively unscathed from the tragic car accident on the night of her high school graduation. Emotionally, her scars run much deeper from the loss of two of her best friends and her longtime boyfriend, Dan. Unable to face the constant reminders of the person she thought she would love forever, Kat leaves for twelve months to study art in France before returning home to start her life again.

Life in Florida proves more difficult than Kat anticipated with remnants of the accident still lingering. The only solace she can find is in her love for art until she runs into Brian, the younger brother of her deceased former boyfriend. Finding they can lean on eachother, Kat and Brian find comfort in their emotional common bond. When an unexpected romance develops, Kat must decide if she is willing to face the ghosts from her past in order to love again.

#TGIT Recap ~ Season 2 Premiere

Displaying 2D1B4584-A0AC-4FFD-ADDA-DE77AB5F243D.JPG


Calling all Shondaland b**** babies!  #TGIT is back, which means that we will be getting all of the feels that we've been missing for what feels like forever now!  This also means that the #TGIT Recap on The Sarcastic Palmtree have also returned!  Today, we've got trailers for the new season and of course a quick recap of what happened when we left off!


First, the legendary...
Grey's Anatomy
Displaying IMG_2018.PNG

Last season was so good, but it came at a very dark cost.  Derek is dead, which should make this season the most interesting because we've never known the show without him.
Important things to remember:
  • Richard and Catherine work things out and get married
  • Jackson tells April that if she leaves, he won't be there when she returns, she breaks down with Arizona comforting her after the wedding
  • Miranda Bailey is the new Chief of Surgery, at least according to her, but she still has to go against another candidate 
  • Maggie's parents are getting a divorce and she's devastated, but the good news is that she tells Meredith, who tells her that she can help with anything
  • Jo buys Alex a home for them to move in to and tells him to sell Meredith her house back
  • Also, remember it's been about a year since Derek died and Meredith has another kid


Is this happening right now?
Scandal

It's official!  Olivia and Fitz are together!  It only took until season 5 to get them together and we can't wait to see where this goes.
Other important things:
  • Jake claims his mission is over, so we don't know what's happening with him now
  • Mellie is now Senator of Virginia, at the cost of 10 juror's lives
  • Mellie and Cyrus both get kicked out of the White House!!!!
  • Lizzie Bear is now Fitz's Chief of Staff 
  • Papa Pope is in jail and Mama Pope is out
  • B613 is now officially off the record
  • Huck's life is currently hanging in the balance and it's all up to Quinn if he lives



As if it wasn't already too much...
How to Get Away with Murder
Displaying IMG_2008.PNG

It's been almost seven months since the finale of the jaw-dropping first season of How to Get Away with Murder!  I think you can agree with me when I saw that is way too long!  The big question that was left for us at the end of the first season, which helped Viola Davis become the first African American woman to receive an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series, is "who killed Rebecca?" and we want to know!  My basic theory is that whoever she texted "Eggs 911" to is at least involved, if not the murderer.
Other important things to remember:
  • Nate is out of jail, and he called the lawyer Annalise recommended 
  • Sam hired Frank to kill Lila because "he owed him one"
  • Laurel had Michaela's engagement ring this whole time
  • Michaela is not getting married and she's got another side that we haven't seen before
  • Oliver has HIV and Connor doesn't 
  • Bonnie and Asher are still together but haven't told Annalise yet
  • Annalise and Wes have decided to believe Sam killed Lila
  • Frank and Annalise are the only ones that know Rebecca is dead


HTGAWM Season 2 Official Trailer
