House
Though the honeymoon isn’t over yet, House and Cuddy’s relationship is starting to show the beginnings of conflict. The two seem to be afraid to take it to the next level – serious. To top it off, Cuddy’s shoe-nibbling daughter and House’s former hooker-turned-masseuse aren’t helping either of the two get there anytime soon. Dealing with Thirteen’s absence, the stand-in hired by Chase falls short of filling the new shoes. Thankfully, she came and went within an episode, but it was still one episode too long. First Cameron, then Thirteen, who’s next?

Gossip Girl
Love triangles are so last season. After all, our favorite Upper East Siders prefer love pentagons. Juliet convinces Vanessa to steal Serena’s phone so she can see whether or not S slept with Dan, when in reality Juliet really wanted to send a suggestive email to Serena’s professor to get her kicked out of Columbia. Meanwhile, Chuck continues on his “me versus you, no limits” war to academically and socially destroy Blair, only this time attacking his way through Columbia. After all is said and done, the episode ends with Chuck’s call to Parson’s to register a new classmate. Could this mean Little J is finally returning to the Big Apple?

How I Met Your Mother
When Marshall’s friend spots Woody Allen in a restaurant, they’re inspired to start a race on who can get there first. After an epic race involving the subway, Ranjanit the cab driver, buses, and Barney faking a heart attack in order to ride in an ambulance, Barney lets Robyn win in order to convince her to stay in New York. Though the episode was entertaining, it was clearly made for New Yorkers, by New Yorkers. And the Woody Allen sighting? Never happened. Instead, we had to settle for an inexplicable appearance by Maury Povitch.
