The biest is back!

Make that a hexenbiest. That’s right, Grimm fans, tomorrow night’s fall finale brings everyone’s favorite hexenbiest back to Portland. Adalind (Claire Coffee) is out to avenge her mother’s death and has her sights set squarely on Nick (David Giuntoli) and the people he loves.

But Nick’s not the only person who had better watch his back. Adalind is not too happy with Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) either, and when we last saw the defanged Wesen she was getting cozy with the royal family.

NBC send us a sneak peek in which Adalind tells Renard exactly what she’s after. Enjoy!

This Friday’s episode of Grimm brings Adalind (Claire Coffee) back to Portland to avenge her mother’s death. NBC’s official press release tells us the former hexenbiest “has her eyes set on Nick (David Giuntoli) and those closest to him – especially Hank (Russell Hornsby) and Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch).”

Meanwhile, Juliette and Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) are a little distracted, still looking for a remedy for their mutual obsession.

“The reality is they’re both inextricably connected to one another,” explains Tulloch, “and they both don’t understand why. And it’s not getting any better, it’s just getting worse and worse and stronger and stronger.”

But the actress feels there is hope for Nick and Juliette. “There’s still a reason they fell in love in the first place. There was a lot of love there.

“It’d be great if [Juliette] could remember him. I don’t know if that’s going to happen or not,” she admitted, “but there’s definitely a spark there.”

Ruby Sparks stars Paul Dano as Calvin Weir-Fields, a struggling novelist who after finding fame as a teenager, now has writers' block. To kickstart his creativity, his therapist (Elliot Gould) tells him he should write about someone who would love his dog the way he is, timid and slobbery. So Calvin starts writing about a young woman, Ruby Sparks, and unwittingly ends up falling in love with her, which he thinks is a problem, because she's not real.

The more he writes, the more real she becomes, until her underthings start showing up and he sees her in his apartment. He freaks out, assuming he's had some kind of mental breakdown, but soon realizes that other people can see her too, and that he controls her with his writing.

The film is in much part about loving someone for who they are and accepting all their faults. Calvin learns that trying to change someone can have costs, as the more he controls her, the less she is the woman he fell in love with, and that love is often complicated, but that's what makes it real.

The high-action spy drama Burn Notice returns for the conclusion of its sixth season tonight on USA. The series follows burned spy Michael Westen, played by Jeffrey Donovan, who uses his training to help others in trouble. He is joined by his girlfriend Fiona Glenanne (Gabrielle Anwar), former FBI informer Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell), and fellow burned spy Jesse Porter (Coby Bell).

The two-hour premiere picks up after the shocking murder of Michael's brother, Nate (Seth Peterson), by an assassin while he was killing their enemy Anson Fullerton (Jere Burns).

Star Jeffrey Donovan recently talked to the digital press about the dark path that Michael is on, and what we can expect for the rest of the season, and possibly the next.

The popular series Bones returns to Fox tonight. The series follows forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Special Agent Seeley Booth of the FBI (David Boreanaz), as well as a team of scientists working at the Jeffersonian, as they investigate and solve deaths where usually there isn't much left but bones.

In the new episode, "The Method in the Madness," airing tonight, the team investigates the death of a woman who was found discarded in a garbage can.

Series creator and executive producer Hart Hanson and executive producer Stephen Nathan recently talked to the digital press about what's coming up on the series, including the upcoming episode, "The Patriot in Purgatory," airing 11/12, where the team finds the identity of a man who died in the terrorist attacks on 9/11.

It’s true, Fringe fans, the end is near! FOX announced today that the mind-bending sci fi drama will conclude its fifth and final season with a two-hour, two-episode event on Friday, January 18. The series finale will also mark the 100th episode of Fringe.

“It has been both mind-blowing and humbling,” said executive producer and showrunner J. H. Wyman. “I’ve always been a fan of science fiction, and to be able to tell this story about a family – a family that, through everything, fought together for survival – has been a highlight of my career. As we approach the final chapter, I can hardly believe it, and I’m just truly thankful for this unparalleled experience.”

Only nine episode remain, and episode 5x05, “An Origin Story,” starts in just about an hour!

Just when we think American Horror Story can’t get any more ghastly, the writers come up with another shocking surprise. This week’s sickening twist saw Shelley at Dr. Arden’s mercy; he’s amputated her legs, so there will be no escape.

Even actress Chloe Sevigny was a bit frightened shooting the scenes. “It’s quite scary because James [Cromwell] was so big and he was wielding this big paperweight at me. He was getting really close and it was pretty frightening, actually, doing that scene. His arms are so long, I was so afraid he was actually going to knock me out."

Believe it or not, things can and will get worse. Sevigny spilled a few details: “She becomes more and more helpless. It’s very tragic, actually.

“I think he wants to make it so she can’t run away. And it only gets worse for Shelley.”

Does Shelley’s fate lie with the other creatures living outside the asylum? “She might be going in that direction,” Sevigny told us.

“You see her transformed into something, something not so pleasant to look at. It’s four hours of prosthetic makeup.”
