Cue lots of fun & games on a pirate ship. 25 minutes in, cue the titles! Then wheel out Colonel Hoff.
   There's a flood in the Grand Canyon. The dust-storm sharknado strikes a train. Astro X needs to restore public trust. Who wants to destroy the Grand Canyon?

A hailnado and a lavanado are stopped but the lightningnado is heading for a nuclear power plant. The Astro X nerd tries to chuck Niagara Falls at the nado. Finn Shepherd is going to reverse the falls to drown the nado. Of course, he is. If the stooopid kid doesn't get him killed.

[Thursday, 04th] Lie To Me [22:00, Alibi] Ria was in trouble: a security guard at a museum, whom she had vetted, shot 2 snoopers pretending to be cops and the bossman threw a major wobbly in her direction. Cal lit up the bossman. He was questioning one of the crooks in hospital when the guy croaked after revealing that something had been pre-sold. So Cal took an interest in a blonde lady, who was being harassed by an ex-boyfriend.
   With every danger of a second attempt at the prize, a suit at the museum and two dodgy painters were grilled. Cal found his new friend's ex snooping in his garage and pulled a gun on the intruder; the bloke called the lady the world's biggest liar. One of the dodgy painters confirmed that the woman Cal was throwing himself at was a BG.
   Cal invited his new friend to the big do at the museum. She was allowed to get away with a big, green rock; but Cal had made sure that a fake was on display.

She was murdered at a training centre for a trip to Mars, so Carrie joined the 6 suspects in their training area.
   Simon was killed in the cold room. Carrie suspected Mike of killing Norah; no, he was the main target. Someone after Mike killed Simon by mistake. Erica, the CO2-converter woman, done it; her gadget didn't work. Why was there a self-destruct except for dramatic effect? Natch, Carrie saved the day.

Cat had to bump Tess off a case involving an arms-dealer murder and illegal fight-clubber.
   Cat had to be in a cat-fight at the club. Dr. Vince took a contestant to his hospital; she told him that if you don't win, you're dead. And Cat had another fight upcoming. Tess provided some valuable information and she busted the club, saving Cat. The guy in charge didn't know about Beasts and he was terrified when Vince turned into one.

   Bob had become unhuman. He was unevolving. Henry had to save the day as a virtual presence. Would Bob have Alison for lunch? Zane got a big gun from Deputy Jo and Sheriff Carter stopped Bob, who was put on the road to recovery. Henry was reinstated at GD and the boss lady had an agenda; something to do with when the town was founded right after the WW II. Surprise!

   Milo explains that the people on the drug ship are linked in a collective, which can predict the future; which is how the Raza was found. The con-lady wants to make the Seers think twice about ever coming after the Raza again. Two threatens to kill Milo to make the Seers back off and the Marauder is retrieved.
   Milo thinks the future of the galaxy depends on the Raza [What's he been smoking? Ed.] and he can change things from the inside. The Seers get Milo back, and don't complain about getting only half of the drugs. The boss warns Milo he knows what he's doing.

[Tuesday, 09th] Eureka [18:00, Pick] The town is full of yappy robot dogs; which explode. The sheriff feels an earthquake but he's told Eureka doesn't have them. Fargo refers him to the earthquake guy, who realizes there's a magma pocket under the town. Alison sez Dr. Hood is crazy.
   Another dog explodes, there's another earthquake; caused by Dr. Hood's tunnelling machine, and mud erupts all over Alison's wedding dress. The GD boss uses Henry to find a radiation hotspot using a silly story about building a hotel.
   Someone is cooking logic diamonds of the sort being stolen to put in robot dogs. Sheriff Carter creates a lava-sniffing dog to save the town using the tunnelling machine. Henry tells Alison about the hotspot and Fargo wins the fake dog show using a real dog.
The closer [22:00, Alibi] A dead oncologist, lots of drugs missing. The partner refused to co-operate with the police as a protest over their Gestapo tactics. A former nurse thought the dead doc was scamming Medicare to get drugs for people who couldn't afford them. Chief Pope had to come in on a Sunday to kick Major Crimes into line.
   Brenda & Co. continued to trample on due process. Dead Dr. Brady wasn't giving his patients chemotherapy! So what was he doing with the drugs he was buying? The surviving partner thought the dead doc had been sold fake druge. So the drug rep, Wally, was busted. He had $6M from selling saline as chemo!
   At the end, Brenda refused to apologize to the doctor she harassed then she had the cheek to ask him treat her horrible father as he's one of the top 50 cancer docs.

[Wednesday, 10th] Eureka [18:00, Pick] Alison was marrying the creepy Nathan, which proves she's not as smart as advertised. Sheriff Carter's crazy sister turned up. Carter found himself having a groundhog day. When he told his sister, she told him he needed to kiss Alison. Carter made Fargo unplug the unstable atomic clock but went round the loop again. The next suspect was the evil director of GD.
   Carter consulted Henry and realized that the guy the director fired that day was responsible. He was making a hash of fixing his single photon experiment. And he ended up a charred corpse. Fargo & Nathan to the rescue. But Nathan was disintegrated, which was good news for Carter, and no wedding.

Harlee's creepy handler has to apologize to her and he sez he hasn't put her under surveillance. So who are the shadows? The dirty boss cop tells Raoul that his big stash has been bagged and tagged, and Raoul has to fall into line or he gets knocked down.

[Thursday, 11th] Eureka [18:00, Pick] Nathan was getting a memorial hallway and the nerds were going to open a tomb looted from Egypt. One nerd insisted it was cursed. The queen took a walk and scared Fargo? No, that was one of the staff, who died of dehydration in a fountain. The boss lady wouldn't tell Henry what she was looking for, so he didn't want to know, so she homed in on Zane instead.
   The dodgy Dr. Marx was mummified and Nathan was haunting Alison. Zane thought the tomb inscriptions described a plague. Sheriff Carter realized they couldn't find the queen's body because she was just dust in the sarcophagus. Henry had to prevent Fargo from being dehydrated and Carter realized that Fargo was full of ancient bugs.
   Suddenly, the bugs were all over the place. Alison's necklace contained a logic diamond, which was projecting a hologram message from Nathan. Fargo was frozen to kill the bugs and the sheriff lured the rest into the freezer at the café.
Is Mr. Robot [21:00, Universal] really as wonderful as the Universal Channel would have us believe? Elliot comes across as a boring little creep with creepy mates, who are as likely to demolish Evil Corps as Donald Trump is to become the next US president.
Lie To Me [22:00, Alibi] Someone got revenge on a scumbag foreman at a coal mine and killed 5 workmates as well. The manager hired Cal to prove that the company wasn't at fault. FBI agent Dillon showed up to tell Dr. Foster to do a job for free because he had blackmail pictures of Cal at an illegal high-stakes card game.
   Cal soon spotted that everyone had hated the foreman. He nearly caused a riot at the miners' bar, then he continued the good work down the mine by threatening to blow it up. Eli caught the union guy concealing evidence and he admitted that the foreman's death, and all the others, had come from a prank that went wrong.
   Foster got the information Dillon needed to go after a suspect and told him to forget the Lightman Institute's number. Cal tried to make the company take the blame to give cash to the miners, but the truth would out.

Eureka [18:00, Pick] The theme was recycling. Zoe wanted to skive off school to do yoga, thanks to her crazy aunt. Zane opened the evil boss's lock and found a lift shaft. A hole opened in the basement of the school, Zoe and 2 others went exploring. Eureka had a superhero: Captain JetBoots! He nearly got the crazy sister killed and she's pregnant.

Captain Eureka can can run through people and walls; apart from one of his fingers. Henry gets a distress call from Zane. The recycling guy is stuck half-way into a wall; he was messing about with junked technology.
   The GD boss has to cough up blueprints of the buried complex. Carter has to go through walls, with the risk of disintegrating, to save Zoe & Co. The boss refuses to tell Carter what she's up to, so it must be mega-dodgy.
Unforgettable [21:00, Living] There's a hurricane offshore and a body on the beach. Sadie was strangled. Did a scumbag have a criminal charge against her dropped so he could sort her out? Red herring. Carrie goes after Fleming, the detective who made her a CI. He says she vanished with 10 grand for a drug deal. Bobby the scumbag is raked in. He blames a Diego.

Discovering Buster Keaton [21:00, Sky Arts] is a very sympathetic journey, and deservedly so, through the life and career of a now acknowledged comedy genius, who was less than well appreciated during his lifetime. It's the usual story: you don't get the recognition until you're dead and someone else cops for the proceeds from the DVD sales.

Czech MotoGP [09:30, BTSport 2] It was the first wet day in Brno for 47 years (apart from the wet Moto3 race in 2012). Binder was on pole for Moto3 but dropped to 4th. Martin shot into the lead. McPhee was soon up to 3 and rain-expert Pawi moved up the field from 29th on the grid. Binder took the lead on lap 6/19, McPhee reached 2nd and Pawi took 5th, adrift from the front four.
   Carnet crashed out from 4th with 11 to go at a big puddle. Binder rode away from McPhee and Pawi reached 3rd. Then Binder crashed with just 5 laps to go and it was raining harder. Pawi crashed too. McPhee had a big moment when his bike squirmed under him and he was shot a foot into the air off his saddle with both legs flying. But he went on to win with Martin 2nd and Di Gianntonio 3rd.
Moto2, still raining, 20 laps, Zarco on pole, Lowes 2nd, wetter than Moto3. Both Zarco & Lowes went backwards at the start. Folger took the lead and never lost it. Lowes went 3rd on lap 4 and Zarco 14th! Zarco dropped right out of the points at one point. Rins finished 2nd ahead of Lowes, Kent was 9th and series leader Zarco managed 11th.
The wet-start MotoGP offered a bike change is anyone felt like going to inters or slicks. 22 laps, Marquez on pole. Both Ducatis zoomed past Marquez on lap 3, and Redding made it 3 Ducatis out front. He went 2nd on lap 5. Dovizioso's front tyre went phut with 13 to go when he was 3rd, he struggled back to the pits made a lackadaisical change of bike and retired before the end.
   Barbera inherited 3rd. Crutchlow overtook Marquez for 4th, moved up to 2nd and took the lead with 7 laps to go. Iannone went backwards, his soft front tyre shot. Crutchlow, on hard front and rear tyres, won miles ahead of Rossi and Marquez, and Lorenzo was nowhere.

IndyCars Pocono 200? 200 times No! Rained off. So Beauty & the Beast instead [20:03, W] Vincent was out of hospital and still bleeding all over the place. Cat zapped an assassin, who shot their bed to bitz. Vince went after some guys who tried to kill J.T. and Tess by luring them to a trap. Snipers started blasting the gang.
   Bleeding and damaged, Vincent started hallucinating about another reality, in which Cat was married to someone else. The PD chased off the snipers, and the guy who was in Vincent and Cat's apartment disappeared. Cat's HSD boss offered protection. But would it work against both the Beast hunters and the assassins, who had been sent to wipe out everyone in Vincent's gang?

[Monday, 22nd] IndyCar Pocono 200 postponed [17:00, BT Sport 3] Alyoshin, the Russian rookie, was on pole for 500 miles round a squashed Tricky Triangle. Sato crashed out on his own before finishing lap 1/200 for an instant caution. RHR was up to 6th from dead last by lap 26, and 4th before he pitted. He reached 2nd after the stops but he couldn't get past Alyoshin. Well, not until lap 50/200.
   On lap 6, Rossi zoomed out of his pit box straight into the side of Kimball, shot up into the air and landed on Castroneves' car! No one hurt and Kimball could continue. Alyoshin was down to 4th in the third quarter of the race after leading most of it; and using up lots of fuel. Pagenaud made his last pit stop on lap 159 then crashed soon after rejoining the track. He went into the abundant marbles from a lengthy green-flag period and into the wall.
   An electrical problem dropped RHR a lap down, he he was screwed? A caution for a winglet breaking off the back of Kanaan's car let RHR unlap himself with 24 laps to go. He zoomed up to 6th, went back to 8th, advanced to 4th and zoomed past Newgarden for 3rd on the penultimate lap. Win Jer deprived Alyosin (2nd) of a win. RHR was definitely the driver of the day.
Dark Matter [20:00, Syfy] The blink drive was a catastrophe and why was the space station a wreck with no survivors? The Raza had been hurled into a parallel dimension where another Raza had a working blink drive and it was wreaking havoc. Two reached a stand-off with an attacking destroyer; Commander Truffaud didn't believe Two's story until she got a report of another Raza 300 light years away. Truffaud collected the fried blink drive and let Raza One go after Raza Two.
   There was a meeting but the other Raza jumped away after Two and Three had swapped themselves for their counterparts, who explained where Raza One had gone wrong with the blink drive. Two had to prevent Jase Corso from nuking a mining colony. Two and Three were saved from a psycho bitch by Raza Two's android.
   Truffaud invaded Raza One as a pre-emptive double cross. She was no match for Two. Raza One returned to its own parallel; but with the other Marauder attached to its hull. And there was something badly wrong with Two.

[Tuesday, 23rd] Eureka [18:00, Pick] Carter finds himself in a self-drive car on smart asphalt with Zoe driving. A missile explodes over the town; Alison has given a useless nerd carte blanche to come up with a defence against the approaching object, which will reach the town in 130 hours. Stuff is going missing all over the place. Carter finds that zombie inmates of the town are building something in a field (Village of the Damned, that episode of Stargate SG-1, etc.)
   Zane things it's a plasma generator. Alison orders it to be torn down but Zane now thinks it's an anti-matter bomb and best left alone. The self-drive grid is doing everything, but switching it off makes no difference. The object is close enough to do its own dirty work. And the object lands before Alison can have it shot down.
The Closer [22:00, Alibi] A private security guy is killed; the cops think one of theirs was done in at first. Major Crimes still takes the case and the ADA sent by Chief Pope tries to stick her nose in. She tries to make out that the dead war hero is really the criminal. Brenda returns from Atlanta and squashes the legal pest. Pope says Taylor is getting his job, not Brenda, and he has to let the ADA oversee Major Crimes.
   There's a Luke to suspect; the security guy chucked him and his under-age girlfriend out of an empty house, where they were having a sex party. He's threatened with murder, B&E and statutory rape. Det. Gabriel's girlfriend is the mole; she was in the pay of the scumbag lawyer who tried to sue the PD. The father of the underage girl is the killer; she told him the security guy tried to rape her. So she's indicted, too. Everyone accepts Gabriel's apology and Brenda doesn't let him quit.

[Wednesday, 24th] Eureka [18:00, Pick] The mysterious object is the Columbus, which Henry launched into space 20 years ago. Kim is aboard!!

It was Leaver who electrocuted his gadget, not the other way around!
   Zane is zapped but survives. Carter (the idiot) wants to arrest Kim 2. Henry finds that the problem is a virus from the original organic computer, not Kim. 200 people have the virus. Kim 2 contains the cure. Carter suggests rebuilding the plasma generator from Eureka's stuff to power a green light to erase the virus. Henry decides he's okay with working with Kim 2.
Shades of Blue [21:00, Living] It was clean up the dirty cop's mess time. Harlee insisted on going to the hospital with Saperstein. The dirty cops intimidated the lady security guard at the parking structure into telling their lies. The dirty cop headed for the hospital to kill Saperstein.
   Harlee told the group lies to her FBI controller. He went to harass the guy Harlee visited in gaol the day before. The dirty cop told Harlee to help him kill Saperstein and when she refused, he planted a bomb so that he could get into the ICU, and Harlee got there too late to stop him.

[Thursday, 25th] Eureka Tess wanted Carter to bust Henry for taking Kim to the cafe and out of GD. A supernerd, Alison and Tess's professor, arrived to unlock Kim 2's data. One of the GD ladies was found drowned in a car full of water. Another drowned in the bathroom at the cafe. The nerd really fried Kim 2. Tess decided that as her body was decaying, Kim 2 was expendable.
   Both dead women were full of synthetic water. Carter began having a phantom of Alison's pregnancy. A cleaner drowned next. All the women were at Alison's bady shower, as were Carter and Zoe and Tess. Carter had to rescue Tess from a lift. Kim 2 was dissolved, whilst Henry watched, to release the data.
   Tess was drained of synthetic water and Carter was found to be connected to Alison's hi-tech baby monitor.
Rizzo & Isles [20:00, Alibi] Rizzo and her bro chased the sniper, who got away. Maura collapsed afterwards at the PD and she needed a CAT scan. Frankie's pal woke up in hospital. Maura's brain was still working; after a fashion. Rizzo wound up Alice Sands with a contemptuous message to the meeja' and upset the Chief of Boston Police.
   Alice sent a note to Rizzo; she just tore it up. Rizzo's crazy mom dumped her doctor boyfriend to spend more time looking after her offspring. Jane tracked down Alice and her crazy gang. Alice got away. Maura had some bleeding on the brain, which is affecting her memory.
Lie To Me [22:00, Alibi] A woman with Alzheimer's ran in front of Emily's car and acted crazy; so Emily summoned Cal. The lady told him Charlie killed her sister, Rose, and now he's coming after her. She thought Cal was Bert, her husband, and she was an ER nurse. Dr. Foster confirmed Alzheimer's instead of schizophrenia.
   Cal confronted the brother-in-law, who had Veronica committed. He said Charlie was a figment of her imagination but Cal didn't believe him. Surprise! Veronica's husband got Rose pregnant, Veronica procured her an abortion and Rose died in 1968.
   Foster found that Veronica was mixing up people from the past and the present. Cal gave her care home's doctor and the staff the third degree, looking for an Angel of Death; there was a guy killing the inmates and Cal caught him in the act.

[Friday, 26th] TNF replay [13:30, ESPN] The Lions @ Ottawa, Harris on for Burris, 29 deg.C but feels hotter. The RBs were sacked out of FG range. Taunting by them helped BC to continue to a shorter FG. A 43 yard pass to Williams set up an equalizing FG. 3-all. More objectionable conduct saved BC from 3rd and 4 but they were sacked to a punt. This would be a night for defences.
   The sacks continued in Q2. A big punt return by Rainey, +15 penalty yards, put BC at the RB 8. A TD for Lulay, no +2, 9-3 with about 4 minutes left. Jackson took a TD pass to top a quick drive, 9-10. Jennings was sacked again and a 70 yard punt yielded a rouge. 10-all, 19 seconds left. A 40 yard pass to Ellingson, a FG for the RBs, 10-13.
   BC got close in Q3 but were sacked to a FG try, which missed for 1. 11-13. The RBs went 2 & out, and a TD for Rainey, +2 points, put BC 19-13 ahead. Ellingson nearly reached the BC end zone but landed at the 3, TD run for Van, 19-20.
   In Q4, the RBs forced a fumble by Arceneaux and ended up with the ball at their 2. The TD prevented but Harris had to give up a safety after failing to catch a snap. 21-20. BC's sixth sack was wiped out by a challenge, so they did it again, preventing a FG. BC punted to the RB 2. Williams to midfield on the next play! 46 yard FG. 21-23, 3:46 left.
   Arceneaux pu the RBs into FG range, they were forced back to 2nd and 13, a 35 yard play plus a horse collar penalty got BC to the 2, Lulay on for a TD, +2, 29-23, 1:34 left and no time-out for the RBs. And when they went out on downs, their losing streak continued and the Lions bounced back from their loss last time.
Eureka [18:00, Pick] Tess was making Eureka video diaries, so an episode made up of clips from past episodes. GD was closed for the annual sonic sterilization. Surprise! Alison and Carter were stuck inside and the nerd who could shut off the cleaning lost his memory. So did Alison.
   Everyone in town lost their memory, except Tess and Zoe, and it was all Fargo's fault. Carter sent Zoe a distress call on his pager. Then Alison started giving birth! Tess forgot how to close down the cleaning, so Carter had to kiss her to reboot her. Fargo was forced to fix his screw-up and Alison had her baby.
Unforgettable [21:00, Living] Two pissed Man Utd. fans distracted a taxi driver, who crashed into a mental case. He was wearing a jacket belonging to a plastic surgeon, who had been missing for 3 months. Another bum was wearing his shoes. The recently killed body was found near a dumpster. Carrie spotted a guy to harass. The comedy cops found a body and $65K, and the chains where the surgeon had been held. The dead guy's pal, Jordan, was in the wind.
   Why was the doc held prisoner, why no ransom demand? Carrie decided that Jordon; Homeland Security had been looking for him for years; had his face altered to look like the boss of a construction firm, whose body was found. Jordan was trying to sell some radioactive stuff to some Egyptians. But he didn't get his $4M. All he got was radiation poisoning and his ass busted.

[Saturday, 27th] 2 Lava 2 Lantula (2016) [17:00, Syfy] They're shooting a crap cop film starring the crap Colton West, whose step-daughter is spending his money in Ford Lauderdale when lava bombs containing lavalantulas shower the city. They're back one year to the day after they attacked L.A.
   West gathers his gang and goes to zap spiders and save Raya and save Florida. Raya and another girl meet two guys from L.A. who have made spider freezers. West messes about in the Everglades and meets Florida's top gator man, who is done in. The army comes to the film set to collect West but he's not there, of course.
   Raya's pal becomes a spider hatchery. One of the guys from L.A. gets it. West arrives in the nick of time for Raya and the other guy. West decides that Miami is being attacked by a gargantulantula! The Air Force tries bombing the spiders. West tells the colonel in charge that he needs to take out the gargantulantula.
   Ammonium phosphate fire retardant of the sort dropped on forest fires will do the job. West hooks up with an ex-fireman who can access a plane. The Air Force craps out when it attack the HUGE spider. The colonel's answer is to nuke Miami.
   West rides down toward the gargantulantula on the payload of zap-dust (in a rip-off of Dr. Strangelove), and the Air Force finishes the creature off. At the end, Raya starts calling her step-father Dad.

[Sunday, 28th] Belgian GP [12:30, Sky Sports F1] Alonso and Hamilton were at the back of the grid, having collected 100+ (?) penalty points each for engine changes. Verstappen was a creditable 2nd on the grid. At the start, he got tangled up with the Ferraris and lost most of his front wing, Vettel ended up facing the wrong way and dropped to last and Raikkonen got a puncture. Sainz went out on lap 2/44 after a rear tyre exploded. VSC.
   Button, who had shown well in qualifying, was rammed out from behind by Verlein. Magnussen had a huge crash when his car swapped ends and ploughed into a tyre barrier going backwards. SC, 5 others out at this point, then the race was red flagged to give the marshalls a chance to clean the crap off the track and rebuild the barrier.
   At the restart on lap 11, Alonso was 4th and Hamilton 5th. Hamilton reached 3rd on lap 18, and that's where he stayed. Ricciardo was 2nd for Red Bull and Alonso was in the points at 7th. Verstappen collected most of the dodgem points for hitting other cars.

   Vince goes U/C as Captain Chandler. DHS Internal Affairs crashes in on Cat, leaving Vince on his own. Cat's boss takes him prisoner as a suspected terrorist. He tries, and fails, to make Vince attack him.
The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) [22:25, Universal] is set 6 weeks after the riot in Moscow and the suicide of the bent section head. Agent Landry doesn't think Bourne is a threat but the CIA is still gunning for him. He's in Paris, France. A Guardian reporter knows about Project Black Friar, so he's a target. He's also writing a series of articles about Bourne. The journo tells Bourne his contact knows Bourne's secret. Then he's whacked. Bur Bourne gets his notebook.
   Daniels, the leak, is in Madrid; he does a runner when he sees the TV news. Nasty Noah, who failed to kill Bourne as well as the journalist, calls in Agent Pamela Landry to quarterback the search for Bourne. She spots that Bourne isn't the leak and spots the guy in Madrid in seconds.
   Bourne flattens some CIA stooges in Madrid and meets Nicky again. She was in Treadstone and she knows where Daniels is. Black Friar is black ops without red tape and Daniels has all the details. Everyone goes to Tangiers, where Daniels has stashed stolen CIA cash. Daniels is blown up and Bourne is chased by Keystone Kops.
   Landry does some digging and Nicky goes into hiding. Bourne goes to New York to spy on Landry's office from across the street. His real name is David Webb. Nasty Noah goes after him. Bourne burgles his office. Cue another chase. Bourne heads for the Treadstone training facility in a stolen cop car. He gives a stolen file to Landy, who faxes it away under Nasty Noah's nose.
   The head trainer says that Webb volunteered to become Bourne, the killer. Bourne suddenly remembers everything. The CIA director is in deep trouble over Black Friar, so is Nasty Noah and the guy who ran the program. And David Webb is in the wind at the end.

   The Russian spiv, of course, is too busy shopping to sign off on the ice core. Zane is being even more of a jerk than usual. Like the buildings of GD, and then the town, he's full of ice. Taggart says the core contains an ancient fungus. Carter torpedoes the shopping spree and, natch, points out the way to deliver a fungicide to get rid of the rogue ice.

The Stamps went 2 & out but kicked a 45 yard FG. 24-30 with the Cats needing a TD in the 32 seconds left. Didn't happen.
Eureka [18:00, Pick] Tess overnighted in the Sheriff's bunker. Zoe had a place at college but there was none for her boyfriend. Larry thought a super-collider test would wipe everything out, especially with Zane and Fargo running it. The $10 billion gadget ended up a broken ruin. Henry found there was an EM field fluctuating over Eureka.
   Lots of BS about a Nemesis star, which causes a reversal of the Earth's magnetic field every 65 million years, which we were told will lead to earthquakes and all sorts of other bad stuff. Total BS, of course. Natch, it was Henry's pupil, who was Zoe's hissy BF, who had created a copy of Nemesis with an experiment and Carter had to save the day, as usual. And Tess announced that she had a new job.
IndyCars: the Texas 600 part 2 [19:30, ESPN] Called off originally for rain and a crash on lap 71, Newgarden and Daly out in part 1 and not allowed to compete. RHR took the lead as the drivers set out to complete the 248 laps, sparks flying from titanium skid plates. Hinchliffe and Castroneves took turns at the front. Hinch could run longer and faster than anyone else. He was still ahead after what would have been the last round of stops, but Carpenter had reduced his 10 second lead to a couple.
   Dixon hit the back of Carpenter and went into the wall on lap 213. Green for lap 221 with lapped cars up with the leaders. Carpenter crashed on 225, Castro was damaged by his crash and needed a new tail and nose. Restart on lap 231. Alyoshin crashed out Hawksworth on lap 233.

Brenda recognized her old adversary Philip Stroh's back view in a supermarket video. Stroh got a tug but walked out on Brenda. So she attacked him in a lift to get blood and hair samples to rig the mask.
   Rusty refused to co-operate unless the cops found his runaway mother. Stroh invaded Brenda's home and she got to fill him full of lead; but not lethally. Brenda and Gabriel went to work in the DA's office and Captain Raygun inherited Brenda's job (and also the creepy Rusty).

Fargo was also there and naked. And Henry.
   Henry thought it was solar flares plus something Kevin had done. Carter and Alison met Dr. Trevor Grant, who was as bright as Einstein. Everyone got back to Eureka, but a different one. Zane thought marrying Jo was a huge joke, Henry was married, Kevin was normal and Tess was still there and married to Carter. And Dr. Grant was also there.
