> [@jsgoddess](#): > > My god, you almost ruined the entire show for me just by typing that! 😃 I know. I actually felt ill thinking of how bad that would be. Especially the part about them rolling their eyes at their mom…who apparently they killed off in their little fantasy. Wow, it would be horrible. ---

**Better With You:** Mia goes into labor, & delivers an eldritch abomination that warps reality & swallows Mia, Casey, & the obstetrics team. Last shot is Maddie, Ben, & Vicky fleeing the collapsing hospital. Joel is taking pictures of the collapse, of course. **Cougar Town:** Jules dumps Tiny-Eyes & goes trolling for young bucks with Barb–her new best friend. [Silver Lining: “Beef & Bubbles” spinoff!] **The Good Wife:** Alicia divorces Peter, & immediately _marries_ Will. They quit law & move to Malibu (with her kids; hopefully the series runs long enough the kids have already moved out & gone to college, because they move with the kids _anyway_) to _FIGHT CRIME!_ **The Chicago Code:** Jarek Wysocki kills Isaac (his niece Vonda’s partner) & reveals that he is in fact the master conspirator, & inducts her into the real family business. All the surviving white cast are retconned as the real bad guys, & the last episode is Teresa Colvin & the now-retconned-as-heroic Ronin Gibbons having to work together to stop them; a cliffhanger implies Teresa & Ronin don’t survive. They _do_ kiss. **60 Minutes:** 47 minutes of Andy Rooney plugging new movies.
