'Ship Shape: How Your Fave Pairs From Grey's, Nashville, Once, TVD And Other Shows Are Faring
mike-max-the-following
THE COUPLE | The Following's Mike and Max
THE LATEST | Mike and Max come to the rescue of Claire, Ryan and Joe, and so begins an epic fight. When Luke finds out that Mike killed his and Mark's mom, they start to beat the G-man, but no worries – Max steps in and kills Luke.
AWW! | With the chaos finally over, Mike makes a grand gesture and kisses Max.
THE FORECAST | After that stormy battle, Mike and Max can expect happiness and rainbows together.
ryan-claire-the-following
THE COUPLE | The Following's Ryan and Claire
THE LATEST | Claire is held hostage by the twins and it is up to Ryan (and Joe...together!) to save her. It does not go down a fight, but Ryan and Claire luckily both make it out alive.
OUCH! | When Ryan approaches Claire and tries to keep their romance going, she stops him and says they both need to move on with their lives...separately.
THE FORECAST | The dark clouds hovering over their relationship don't look like they'll be clearing up anytime soon.
joe-ryan-the-following
THE COUPLE | The Following's Ryan and Joe
THE LATEST | En route to saving Claire, Joe tries to strike up a conversation with his longtime adversary – until one of Joe's followers crashes into Ryan's car. In a shocking twist, Joe kills said disciples and pulls Ryan out of the car. Later, when given the chance to kill Joe, Ryan puts down the gun instead.
OUCH! | When Joe tells Ryan to visit him in prison, Ryan refuses, insisting that he is putting their past behind him. Thus, Joe will rot in jail alone.
THE FORECAST | Bleak — though with a Season 3 on its way, we have a feeling these two are not done just yet.
elijah-hayley-the-originals
THE COUPLE | The Original's Elijah and Hayley
THE LATEST | When Hayley gets sick at the funeral and collapses, Elijah is clearly worried. He can hear the baby's heartbeat but not Hayley's. And in other news, Elijah wants to give Hayley a ring to control the curse when the full moon appears – but all we hear is ring! Anyway, Elijah goes to Hayley and tells her that in 1,000 years, he has never been more frightened than when he almost lost her. And then...it happens.
AWW! | Hayley grabs Elijah and kisses him!
THE FORECAST | Rays of sunshine are starting to shine as this friendship turns to more but with Klaus' baby on its way and him wanting the baby to be raised by both parents in the nursery he prepared, things are going to get complicated.
the-tomorrow-people-astrid-john
THE COUPLE | The Tomorrow People's Astrid and John
THE LATEST | John turns to Astrid when he starts to doubt himself but she tells him to man up and that the powers don't make him who he is. She almost gets run over by a taxi while doing so but no worries – John is there to save the day. "You saved my life again but you won't go to bat for humanity," she says before planting a kiss (or maybe a few) on him.
AWW! | Later at the lair, Astrid and John reunite as Astrid flies into John's arms.
THE FORECAST | The sun is shining down on this couple!
danny-mindy-the-mindy-project
THE COUPLE | The Mindy Project's Danny and Mindy
THE LATEST | Danny and Mindy do what all friends who actually love each other do...apartment shop! And Danny just happens to have an apartment right next to his for Mindy to buy. He also figures while he's at Target he might as well pick some stuff up for Mindy...just the usual friend stuff. Later, when Danny jealously bursts into Mindy's apartment after he sees Charlie's shoes outside, Mindy tells him she is going to watch a meteor shower — with Charlie....
OUCH! | Danny tries to kiss her! Keyword: tries. Mindy then gives a very empowering speech about how Danny only wants her when he can't have her, so she will decide what their relationship will be from now on. Preach it, Mindy!
THE FORECAST | Perhaps we will see some sun. The ball is in Mindy's court now, and seeing that Tuesday's season finale is titled "Danny and Mindy," something is bound to happen between them.
elena-damon-the-vampire-diaries
THE COUPLE | The Vampire Diaries' Damon and Elena
THE LATEST | After a heated, confusing discussion about their future as a couple, Damon silences his ex with one of his trademark kisses.
AWW | "I'm holding it together the best I can for you," Damon tells Elena, attempting to ease her troubled mind.
THE FORECAST | Considering Elena is last seen being kidnapped by the Travelers' leader, Markos, her future with Damon will have to be placed on the back burner for the time being.
SANDRA OH, ISAIAH WASHINGTON
THE COUPLE | Grey's Anatomy's Cristina and Burke
THE LATEST | Cristina accepts an offer to speak in Zurich, not knowing that the invitation came from Burke. Cristina is reluctant to accept her ex's job offer because she thinks it means he wants her back in his life – but she's wrong! (He's married with kids.) She turns him down anyway, because, "I never wanted to work for you. I wanted to be you."
AWW! | Yang is wrong again. Burke is leaving and wants her to take over for/"be" him. (It was all very Willy Wonka.) Burke tells Cristina that if he did work with her, it would ruin his marriage.
THE FORECAST | The Zurich skies are looking clear for Cristina, while the Milan forecast is sunny for Burke.
penny-leonard-the-big-bang-theory
THE COUPLE | The Big Bang Theory's Leonard and Penny
THE LATEST| At Professor Proton's funeral, Penny can't seem to cry – that is, until Leonard opens up his own waterworks. The funeral makes Leonard think about things he would regret not doing — such as not accepting Penny's marriage proposal, but she insists that it wasn't the right time (and now isn't either!).
AWW! | When Leonard notes that he proposed twice and Penny only once, Penny to even out the score pops the question, counting on a rejection – but Leonard teases about accepting for a moment.
THE FORECAST | There may be a chill in the air after the May 15 finale, as the two "take a serious look at how their lives are going," says EP Steven Molaro.
avery-juliette-nashville
THE COUPLE | Nashville's Juliette and Avery
THE LATEST | With all of Avery's attention going to his ex-love (and first love) Scarlett, who's in the crazy house, Juliette feels neglected and is clearly worried. She offers him sex, he turns her down (?!) and her response? "Are you kidding?" Plus, her overhearing quite an intimate conversation between Avery and Scarlett does not put her mind at ease in any way.
OUCH! | Cue the crazy, promiscuous Juliette — who we all thought was long gone. At an industry party, Juliette drinks a little bit too much from an ice sculpture and has sex with Jeff. I repeat, Jeff! It does not go unnoticed as Gunnar watches the two of them fix themselves up before returning to the party.
THE FORECAST | Well, the once-white clouds are turning gray – and it looks like it will keep getting worse. Next Wednesday's episode description says that Zoey urges Gunnar to stay out of it but Jeff, on the other hand, threatens to tell Avery the truth.
sarah-cal-orphan-black
THE COUPLE | Orphan Black's Sarah and Cal
THE LATEST | Sarah takes Kira and Felix to a house, but not just any house...it's Kira's father's! Cal arrives home, pins Felix to the wall, sees Sarah there and says, "You've got so much nerve. Last time I saw you, you took ten grand and my car." Valid point, Cal, but Sarah still cares about you and could've stolen a lot more than she did! Kira walks down the stairs to find this strange man and asks if he is her dad. Smart girl! After some yelling and accusing Sarah of always running away, Cal lets them stay at his place.
AWW! | Once Felix leaves to go home and Kira is asleep – and after Cal lies to the police – Cal and Sarah kiss, and then things heat up and they kiss a lot more. Things only get more adorable when the happy family (well, kind of) play a game of cards and spend some quality time together.
THE FORECAST | Well, things were heating up until Rachel's right-hand man Daniel shows up and takes Sarah. With Sarah being taken by Daniel (and then being hit by a truck) and Kira staying with Cal, a cold front is coming in for this couple.
ShipShape_H50_McRollins
THE COUPLE | Hawaii Five-0's Steve and Catherine
THE LATEST | When Catherine sets out to help a friend in Afghanistan find his abducted son, Steve insists on lending an assist, almost getting himself blown to bits in the process!
OUCH! | Steve survives the Taliban grenade (and a bit of torture), then is forced back to the States — where he gets a call from Catherine, who's staying in Afghanistan to continue the search for the kid. Heartfelt "I love yous" are exchanged and tears are squeezed out, before Rollins rides off into the Afghani sunset.
THE FORECAST | Ten percent chance of a happy ending. With Michelle Borth now gone from the CBS series, it's unlikely McRollins fans will get proper closure, and certainly not anything they'd like.
ShipShape_H50_McDanno copy
THE COUPLE | Hawaii Five-0's Danny and Steve
THE LATEST | When Steve and Catherine's Afghanistan rescue mission goes a bit sideways, landing McGarrett in the Taliban's hands, Danny — with an assist from Joe White — calls in the troops, and even tags along for the 7,500-mile trip.
AWWW | Sitting at injured Steve's bedside, Danny asks: "Why are you looking at me like that?" Simply said, McGarrett is moved that his colleague and friend came all this way to make sure he got out alive.
THE FORECAST | Between the collapsed garage incident and this, the McDanno bromance is shining brighter than ever!
ShipShape_Once_Rumbelle
THE COUPLE | Once Upon a Time's Rumplestiltskin and Belle
THE LATEST | Having been under Zelena's green thumb for the better part of nine episodes, Rumple is at last freed when Regina uses light magic to whale on the Wicked Witch, releasing her grip on the Dark One's dagger.
AWWW | Rumple shares a joyous reunion with Belle, who gifts him with the Dark One's dagger, so that he may reclaim control of his life. But Rumple leaves the blade in his love's possession, declaring, "I am now, and for the future, yours" — which is another way of saying, "Will you marry me?" (Which he also then says, for good measure.)
THE FORECAST | This is the Dark One we are talking about, so dark-ish skies ahead. After all, it is revealed that Rumple actually left Belle with a fake dagger. He has the real one, and then goes against Belle's wishes by using it to kill Zelena and avenge Neal's death.
zoe-george-hart-of-dixie
THE COUPLE | Hart of Dixie's Zoe and George
THE LATEST | When Wade is mad at Zoe, she turns to George for help in repairing her and Wade's friendship but he is not having it. He's too busy trying to find a food blogger who can fix Fancie's reputation, so she follows George to the restaurant this restaurant reviewer is supposedly at. Well, turns out he's not the critic and instead steals George's car, leaving the former lovebirds stranded, only to be picked up by Rudy Truitt. Rudy takes them to his brothers who accuse George of breaking Tansy's heart and Zoe of making Joel leave. There's only one solution to this dilemma at the Truitt house: Zoe kisses George!
AWW! | Once they finally make it back to Bluebell, Zoe and George discuss this kiss. They both agree that it was an amazing kiss and they are both single at the same time for once, but over the past few years they have become really good friends. They are in a good place and want to keep it that way.
THE FORECAST | One-hundred percent chance of friendship. Now that Zoe and George agree that being friends is the best decision, there's plenty of room for Wade to swoop right in and take back Zoe's heart – he can't stay mad at her forever!
severide-lindsay-chicago-pd
THE COUPLE | Chicago P.D.'s Lindsay and Severide
THE LATEST | In the dramatic and explosive (literally) crossover event, many lives hang in the balance but luckily Severide and Lindsay make it out alive. Severide helps find Dawson within the rubble and Lindsay is held at knifepoint but they have each other to make it all better.
AWW! | At the end of a very stressful day (which is probably the biggest understatement ever), Severide shows up at Lindsay's place and apologizes for not calling. They kiss and end up in bed where she says she wants him to stay the night – and of course, he's not going anywhere.
THE FORECAST | Chicago is heating up! In the midst of chaos, these two have each other to lean on and maybe even more in the finale. Sophia Bush tells TVLine, "[Severide] winds up leaning on Lindsay, which I think is pretty indicative of the connection that they share."
ShipShape_Mentalist_Jisbon copy
THE COUPLE | The Mentalist's Jane and Lisbon
THE LATEST | As Teresa grapples with the issue of moving with Pike to D.C. (or not), Patrick expresses his opinion that... she'll be bored.
SOB! | But later, Jane shows up at Lisbon's place — presumably to be more frank about his feelings. But when Pike answers the door, his agenda is a bit waylaid. Still, Jane tells his partner in crimefighting that he just wants her to be happy — wherever and with whomever that may be.
THE FORECAST | It's looking about 50-50 now. Could the viewing of Casablanca have been a clue? Is there an epic (and more happily ending) tarmac scene in Jane and Lisbon's future?
