'Ship Shape: How Your Fave Pairs From Continuum, Girl Meets World, Penny Dreadful And Other Shows Are Faring
Continuum - Season 3
THE COUPLE | Continuum's Kiera and Brad
THE LATEST | Having come to accept that the future timeline from which Kiera came — and where she left her family — is not the best one to preserve, she and Brad use a rare instance of low-key time to nuzzle some on the couch at the cabin.
OUCH! | Well, that didn't last very long — the new twosome receive a bracing "cold shower" when, after Brad triggers the beacon that presumably indicates that their timeline adjustment went well, an army of armored soldiers arrives from the future, guns a-toting!
THE FORECAST | Dystopian!
ShipShape_SAB_DW
THE COUPLE | Switched At Birth's Daphne and Campbell
THE LATEST | Daphne gets promoted instead of Campbell. Later when she talks to him about a mistake he made, he accuses her of going behind his back and asking for the job.
OUCH! | After Daphne suggests that he too ask for a paying job, Campbell gets one... across town. As he breaks the news, Campbell adds that with the new job, he probably won't be able to spend time with Daphne.
THE FORECAST | Feel that breeze? It's the wind passing through the space that's now between these teens. Hopefully the distance will help put their relationship in perspective.
ShipShape_Fosters_DW
THE COUPLE | The Fosters' Jesus and Emma
THE LATEST | As they attempt to have sex for the first time in the back of his car, Emma's constant orders cause Jesus to feel invisible in their relationship, so he calls it a night, citing his curfew.
OUCH! | When he and Emma later talk about it, Jesus doesn't explain his feelings clearly. Instead he tells her that she can be quite bossy, which he finds it a "turn-off." Upset, Emma storms off.
THE FORECAST | Frosty. No doubt this couple has a lot to talk about before things heat up again.
ShipShape_BATB_DW
THE COUPLE | Beauty and the Beast's JT and Tess
THE LATEST | JT, kicking himself, is eager to do his part to track down Gabe. With Tess' encouragement, he comes up with the idea to triangulate the disgraced ADA's cell phone signal (which these days on TV seems like "Police Work 101," but we'll pat him on the back). JT celebrates his epiphany by giving his lady a sweet PDA.
AWWW! | Later at his place, Tess is the one in a "giving" mood, commending JT on their fruitful partnership by ravaging the geek.
THE FORECAST | Clear and sunny — thank God! Because with all the angst Vincent and Cat get put through, it's nice to see their BFFs enjoy unfettered frolicking.
ShipShape_ChasingLife_DW
THE COUPLE | Chasing Life's April and Dominic
THE LATEST | After a female co-worker tells April about Dominic's reputation as the office playboy, April goes through his social media and notes that his life looks like a "beer commercial." When she later brings up his dating history, Dominic is insulted and tells her that perhaps a relationship is not what either of them is looking for.
AWW! | After April finds out Gerald is dead, she shows up at Dominic's apartment in tears and he comforts her. She apologizes for how she acted during the week and they spend the night together. The next morning Dominic tells her he can see a real future with her.
THE FORECAST | Clear skies for now. But given the fault in their stars (and April's blood) we expect showers once she drops the "cancer bomb" on him.
ShipShape_Perception_DW
THE COUPLE | Perception's Donnie and Kate
THE LATEST | Donnie asks Kate to marry him via a ring pop in her cereal — and she suggests they get hitched the same day at the courthouse, to avoid all the hassles a big wedding brings.
AWW! | Despite many delays, the couple finally makes it to the courthouse, but before they can go through with it Donnie tells Kate he wants a big wedding because they didn't have one last time and he thinks that's why their first marriage wasn't successful.
THE FORECAST | With the large Daniel-shaped cloud looming in the distance, there's a good chance this wedding will get rained on.
ShipShape_Suits_DW
THE COUPLE | Suits' Jeff and Louis
THE LATEST | Louis misinterprets Jeff and Jessica's double entendre-off as Jeff being interested in him romantically.
AWW! | Louis tells Jeff that while he's flattered, he isn't interested in anything but friendship. To minimize any awkwardness, he takes himself off the case they're working.
THE FORECAST | Given that Louis misread feelings that didn't even exist, this already small ship was sinking before it set sail.
ShipShape_Graceland_DW
THE COUPLE | Graceland's Mike and Paige
THE LATEST | Paige tells Mike that just because they spent the night together he's not allowed to get possessive when it comes to other men having an interest in her. Yet when Briggs suggests she "cozy up" to a drug dealer, Mike is uncomfortable.
AWW! | When Paige reports on her success (though hurting her hand in the process), Mike deems her incredible and begins planning his next move in the investigation – but Paige quickly kisses him out of that idea.
THE FORECAST | Sunny and warm. Luckily Mike has Paige to remind him that all work and no play makes for a boring undercover officer.
ShipShape_Undateable_DW
THE COUPLE | Undateable's Danny and Sabrina
THE LATEST | When Justin tries to help Danny make more of a commitment to Sabrina, Danny starts sabotaging the relationship and almost cheats on her — which Sabrina finds out about!
OUCH! | Danny confesses his commitment anxiety, and while Sabrina appreciates his candor, she doesn't want to be anybody's "relationship training wheels".
THE FORECAST | Cloudy with a chance of sunshine. Now that Sabrina works at Justin's bar, she might see Danny changing for the better and give him a second chance.
ShipShape_Dominion_DW
THE COUPLE | Dominion's Alex and Claire
THE LATEST | Alex apologizes for calling Claire a "spoiled princess" while drunk and she forgives him, telling him he's right! Soon they're wrapped up in her sheets (and each other's arms) as Claire tells him she loves him for him and not his status as the chosen one.
OUCH! | After Claire gets hurt, Alex decides to leave before he puts her in any more danger. However she finds him before he departs and tells him she's coming with — only for him to refuse, saying that losing her would destroy him. He bids her goodbye "for now" and takes off.
THE FORECAST | Light showers. Alex's status as the chosen one guarantees him returning to Vega. But until then, he and Claire will have to suffer through separation-induced heartache.
ShipShape_RookieBlue_DW
THE COUPLE | Rookie Blue's Gail and Holly
THE LATEST | Gail's nervous about meeting Holly's friends and Dov only makes her more nervous by suggesting she makes a terrible first impression.
OUCH! | The meeting doesn't go well and Gail overhears one of Holly's friends call her "just a beat cop", prompting her to ask Holly if she thinks Gail is out of her league.
THE FORECAST | Temporary fog. Once Gail works through her issues this ship should back on track.
ShipShape_GMW_DW
THE COUPLE | Girl Meets World's Cory and Topanga
THE LATEST | Cory and Topanga are happily living together in New York where Topanga is now a high-powered attorney and Cory is a middle school teacher.
AWW! | Much like Alan and Amy before them, the new Mr. and Mrs. Matthews are on the same page when it comes to raising their daughter and son.
THE FORECAST | Not a cloud in sight. Given all the teenage angst Cory and Topanga went through when it was still "his world", we're quite content to watch this pair's happily ever after.
ShipShape_PD_VD_DW
THE COUPLE | Penny Dreadful's Vanessa and Dorian
THE LATEST | Dorian comes to Malcom's house in search of Vanessa but she brushes him off.
OUCH! | Later she meets Dorian a second time, Vanessa tells him that their relationship is "too dangerous" and that she doesn't like the person she becomes with him. She kisses him goodbye and tells him the emotion he's feeling is rejection. Dorian is then surprised to find that he's shed a tear.
THE FORECAST | Nothing but Gray skies... at least until Season 2 begins.
ShipShape_PD_EB_DW
THE COUPLE | Penny Dreadful's Ethan and Brona
THE LATEST | Ethan looks on in tears as Brona refuses the sedative Victor offers her. Victor then tells Ethan that it won't be long till she dies and sends him to get some water.
OUCH! | While he's away, Victor tells Brona that there's a place "between the living and the dead" before smothering her with a nearby pillow. When Ethan returns, Victor tells him he missed Brona's passing, leaving him to mourn his loss.
THE FORECAST | Cold as death. Ethan may think his lady love has departed into the great beyond, but no thanks to Victor, we see her unexpectedly walking back into his life next season.
ShipShape_DeviousMaids_DW
THE COUPLE | Devious Maids' Adrian and Evelyn
THE LATEST | Adrian confronts Tony about his plan to blackmail Evelyn and offers him $100, 000 to leave her alone and get out of their lives.
AWW! | Evelyn finds Adrian listening to old records and he suggests they tango to the same song they'd danced to on their honeymoon. Evelyn agrees and their dance culminates in a long, passionate kiss.
THE FORECAST | Things are heating up in Powell-land now that Adrian realizes just how much he loves his wife.
ship-shape-devious-maids
THE COUPLE | Devious Maids' Remy and Valentina
THE LATEST | After seeing Ethan for the no-goodnik he really is, Valentina rats him out and returns to Remi.
AWW! | An epic kiss in the Delatour mansion? It's like Season 1 all over again.
THE FORECAST | As much as we'd love to promise a bright future for Remi and Valentina, this Ethan situation worked itself out a little too neatly to be true. Something's got to give.
eric-jason-scene-05
THE COUPLE | True Blood's Jason and Eric
THE LATEST | During a blood-induced daydream, Jason and Eric give into their primal urges and get down to business.
AWW | The background strings are a nice touch. Very elegant.
THE FORECAST | Like Jason, this couple's future isn't looking too bright, existing only in our (and Jason's) dreams.
ShipShape_HaltCatchFire_DW
THE COUPLE | Halt and Catch Fire's Joe and Cameron
THE LATEST | After Cameron rails against her new supervisor, Joe points out that she isn't allowed to misbehave just because of "this thing" the two of them have going on outside the office.
OUCH! | Cameron promptly responds by slipping her hand into Joe's pants pocket... to grab his keys, so that she can collect her stuff from his place. "Thing" solved!
THE FORECAST | An 8-bit chance of happiness. Cameron might not have an appreciation for protocol, but her ability to winnow the coders' ranks to an elite, efficient few wowed Joe.
