Vampire Diaries
Season Two, Episode 2.20, The Last Day
Original Air Date: April 28, 2011
After receiving a phone call from his mother begging him to return, Tyler Lockwood comes home to Mystic Falls unaware of everything that has happened. Elijah reveals his plan to save Elena's life but Damon takes matters into his own hands as he doesn't think the plan will work. Stefan takes Elena on a romantic day out as it could very well be the last day of Elena's life. Damon tries to fix a mistake but pays a dear price for it. Klaus obtains his vampire, his werewolf and the doppleganger for his ritual.
Elijah, Stefan and Elena discuss the events that will be unfolding that night. Elijah confirms to Stefan the Sun & Moon Curse is fake but that Klaus has a very real curse placed upon him and what will happen if he succeeds in breaking that curse. Damon enters the conversation wanting to kill Klaus that day with Bonnie but Elena points out that is not an option as if Bonnie used that much power it would kill her. Elijah explains the ritual Klaus will be performing that night. A witch will channel the power of the full moon to release the spell that is contained within the moonstone. Klaus will then sacrifice both a werewolf and a vampire then, in the final part of the ritual, he will drink the blood of the doppleganger to the point of death. Elijah removes an aged bottle from a box and explains it is an elixir he acquired some 500 years ago for Katherine. It possesses mystical properties of resuscitation. In theory, Elena will drink the elixir and she will die but will then come back to life. Damon isn't pleased with this plan and feels it will not work. He asks about the Gilbert ring and Elijah explains it only works on humans. Since dopplegangers are a supernatural occurrence the odds is the ring will not work.

He questions that Katherine said Bonnie didn't have her powers any longer and she replies that Bonnie doesn't, or didn't, she isn't sure as she's out of the loop since he kidnapped her. Again, she begs him to kill her an be done with it. He tells her that since he spent 500 years searching for her, her death will last at least half that long.

US Television: Jimmy Smits' Outlaw Available on DVD, Sort Of
For those of you who remember the extremely short run of this show on NBC and followed the show every week (like I did) you might be surprised to learn that all eight episodes of Outlaw are available on DVD. This was something I wasn't ever expecting to happen and didn't know had happened until I stumbled across the listing on amazon.com a few minutes ago.
You won't be able to find Outlaw at any brick and mortar stores, however. The only place you can get it on DVD is via amazon.com's Manufacture on Demand service. You place your order and all 8 episodes will be burned to DVD-R for you. The price of the series is $19.99 and amazon.com currently lists it as being "in stock" so it is available now.
This was an extremely quiet and unexpected release. While I would prefer the show to have been released through a more formal method I'll take what I can get.

Damon and Stefan have a plan to get the moonstone from Katherine but Elena wants no part of it. She has her own plans. Elena convinces Rose to take her to see Slater as neither woman knows he is dead. When Elena's plan isn't what Rose thought it was, she calls Damon for help.

We see Jonas Martin looking around a door and a sound startles Elena and she jolts up in bed to look around. She goes out into the hall to check out the house, and as she is getting ready to look into a room with an open door, a shirtless Alaric startles her (startles them both, actually). While Jenna and Alaric are uncomfortably telling Elena that what she heard was them (!), Jonas Martin is in Elena's room taking hair from her hair brush and some of her jewelry as well as a photograph. Elena goes back to bed and Jonas Martin slips out of the house without anyone knowing he was there.
After going to see Katherine, Damon and Stefan pay a visit to Elena. The brothers went to see Katherine to ask her for the moonstone. She agreed to give them anything they wanted if they had their witch hocus-pocus her out of the tomb as she's reconsidered staying there where Klaus cannot touch her. They free her and she turns over the stone and disappears from Mystic Falls forever. They can destroy the spell Klaus wants Elena for by releasing it from the moonstone. Their plan is for Bonnie to be able to break the tomb's seal long enough for the Salvatores to get in, get the stone and get out. Elena tells them there is only one problem with their plan: she doesn't want them to do it. She doesn't want Klaus to kill everyone she cares about, including Damon and Stefan.
Season Two, Episode 2.10, The Sacrifice
Original Air Date: December 2, 2010
Damon and Stefan have a plan to get the moonstone from Katherine but Elena wants no part of it. She has her own plans. Elena convinces Rose to take her to see Slater as neither woman knows he is dead. When Elena's plan isn't what Rose thought it was, she calls Damon for help. Jeremy gets in trouble and Stefan makes a sacrifice of his own to save him. Tyler and Caroline make a discovery about the Lockwood Curse that terrifies them both.
Elena awakens to see her bedroom door open. Thinking nothing of it, she rolls over to go back to sleep. We see Jonas Martin looking around a door and a sound startles Elena and she jolts up in bed to look around. She goes out into the hall to check out the house, and as she is getting ready to look into a room with an open door, a shirtless Alaric startles her (startles them both, actually).

US Television: Outlaw, Episode 1.8, "In Re: Tony Mejia"
Outlaw
Season One, Episode Eight, In Re: Tony Mejia
Original Air Date: November 12, 2010 (Canada), November 13, 2010 (US)
Cyrus is unhappy with a candidate for the Supreme Court seat he vacated. The team must go to Mexico to ask for the extradition of a man who murdered a young woman in Los Angeles. The extradition is denied but the man is found guilty and ordered to prison in Mexico. However, when he is released unexpectedly, the father of the young woman shoots and kills his daughters killer and must stand trial in Mexico for his crime. Mereta is in some legal trouble of her own and it is up to Al to get her out of it.
Cyrus feels the candidate for his replacement, Sean Ryan, isn't the right candidate. Cyrus was a prosecutor in Cook County when Ryan was a judge and everyone knew Ryan was on the take. Cyrus can't give his friend Sherry Lemko proof that Ryan's decisions were for sale but he gives her the name of Fred Shervin who does. She will check it out in exchange for a favor. Mexico is refusing to extradite a man who murdered a kindergarten teacher, Lisa Mejia, in Los Angeles. He needs to go to Mexico and convince them to send the man back to the United States.
Cyrus asks Eddie to get him all motions filed by the U.S. Government to extradite the murderer back to California as well as the Mexican response. Mereta gets a call from someone named "Tim" at work and there is apparently a problem she doesn't want to talk about. Lucinda and Eddie place bets if "Tim" is really her brother as she claims or her lover.
Al and Cyrus speak with Lisa's father, Tony Mejia, and he tells them about the new boyfriend in her life, Julio Trujilo. She had wanted to break up but he didn't. Her father tells them the LAPD found DNA evidence that he was responsible for her death but he was gone when they went to arrest him. He is in custody in Mexico but, without pressure from the U.S. government, he will be let go. He begs them to bring him back.

Garza and his team head to Miami to champion the cause of a fourteen year-old boy who will die in two weeks if he doesn't get a liver transplant. Because he is in foster care, the hospital is removing the boy from the top of the transplant list. Things get even more complicated when someone steps up to adopt Tyler but the adoption is denied because the candidate is gay. Someone from Lucinda's past returns raising even more questions about her.
Garza and Claire arrive at an event as a massive protest is happening. He is approached by Theresa Cain from Children's Light and informed the protest is against hospitals for removing sick children off organ transplant lists simply because they are in foster care. Garza gives Theresa the ride up fifteen floors in the elevator to make her case to him. Theresa shows Garza and Claire a video of a young man, Tyler Banks, who is number one on Greater Miami's waiting list for a new liver. Tyler will not receive it because he is also in foster care. Fourteen year-old Tyler will die in two weeks time without the liver.
Eddie gives his girlfriend Bethany (Bitsie Tulloch) a tour of Garza's house where he works and she is none too impressed. She is certain he can't be happy there and wants to help him. Her firm is throwing a party that weekend for the head of the litigation team who is retiring.
