'Ship Shape: How Your Fave Pairs From Orange Is The New Black, Beauty And The Beast, Faking It And Other Shows Are Faring
ShipShape_AlexPiper_DW
THE COUPLE | Orange Is the New Black's Piper and Alex*
THE LATEST | While in Chicago to testify at Alex's former boss' drug trial, the ladies have a warm-yet-fleeting moment (even though they're separated by bars) as Alex begs her ex to lie under oath. "It's the only way I can keep you safe," she says gravely.
OUCH! | Against the advice of her lawyer (aka Larry's dad), Pipes perjures herself by saying she never met the drug kingpin in question. But Alex tells the truth (!), earning her freedom (!!) and leaving a livid Piper to return to Litchfield alone.
THE FORECAST | We're guessing no one's going to want to go near Hurricane Piper in the coming episodes; girlfriend's got some major rage against her glasses-wearing former love.
*Note: We're only reporting on romantic updates from the Netflix series' Season 2 premiere for now, so we won't spoil those who didn't binge-watch every episode.
ShipShape_VinCat_DW
THE COUPLE | Beauty and the Beast's Vincent and Cat
THE LATEST | Following his arrest, Vincent stages an escape, only to turn up on Cat's rooftop for one last night with her.
OUCH! | Despite Cat insisting that she'll accompany him, Vincent ties her to a chair and leaves, not wanting to put her in harm's way.
THE FORECAST | Hell hath no fury like a beast whose lady love is kidnapped. Looks like there'll be a scorching heat wave once Vincent catches wind of Cat's kidnapping.
ShipShape_JackKate_DW
THE COUPLE | 24's Jack and Kate
THE LATEST | When President Heller calls him for information on Margot's arms dealer, Jack demands that Kate accompany him out in the field.
WOWZERS! | Later, Jack's plan to use her as a decoy only sort-of works, leaving Kate to pull a page out of the book of Bauer and escape her captors with nothing but her (exceedingly impressive) wits.
THE FORECAST | Fifty shades of grey skies. Though Kate was game when it came to being drugged up for the mission, we don't think there's any lady who takes kindly to being tortured and almost killed for real. Better hope Jack's packed an umbrella.
ShipShape_SaviDom_DW
THE COUPLE | Mistresses' Savi and Dominic
THE LATEST | Post-coma Savi is back on her feet and already making a booty call to Dom, who's thrilled to see her outside his door.
AWW! | Dom and Savi engage in some sweet, morning-after pillow talk — and giggle over the fact that their only prior time, um, together was that wah-chicka-wah in the office (which resulted in her ill-fated pregnancy). Speaking of work, Savi announces her intent to return to the firm, where new partner Dom will be her boss!
THE FORECAST | With sexy attorney Toni setting her sights on Dom, and Savi feeling a slight sting over estranged hubby Harry's fling with Kyra With the Fun Bags (TM), things look cloudy for the reunited lovers.
ShipShape_MollyGus_DW
THE COUPLE | Fargo's Molly and Gus
THE LATEST | After Molly reminds Gus to omit the fact that he shot her from his testimony at the hearing, he bashfully tries to find the words to ask her out. It's a good thing she's quite the detective, because she quickly puts it together and confirms their date.
AWW! | In the year that flies by in the blink of an eye (OK, maybe five blinks) it appears that Molly and Gus have clearly been more than K-I-S-S-I-N-G: They're not just married, but also expecting a child together.
THE FORECAST |Given that Molly hasn't quite put the murders behind her, we see a cold front creeping up on these two lovebirds.
ShipShape_MattyEva_DW
THE COUPLE | Awkward's Matty and Eva
THE LATEST | After being released from jail, Matty wraps up his first date with Eva by giving her a "good morning kiss," followed by a "conjugal visit" off-camera.
AWW! | We only wish Matty and Eva's nice moment didn't have to come at Jenna's expense. Eva totally throws her under the bus.
THE FORECAST | Shady. So shady. Though Matty and Eva appear to be a match made in Awkward heaven, we can't help but wonder how genuine his new gal pal really is.
ShipShape_TamaraShane_DW
THE COUPLE | Awkward's Tamara and Shane
THE LATEST | In search of a late-night, college-level hook up, Tamara searches the halls of Luke's alma mater for a man worthy of her.
AWW! | Unable to find the right guy for the job, Tamara settles for the right girl, locking lips (and so much more) with Luke's bestie Shane.
THE FORECAST | Having sampled the grass on the other side, Tamara decides her night of wild passion was just a one-time thing, so we see a long, dry spell in the foreseeable future.
ShipShape_AmyKarma_DW
THE COUPLE | Faking It's Karma and Amy
THE LATEST | Karma's on a one-way cruise down denial as she completely ignores the girls' sizzling kiss during the threesome. Instead, she suggests the pair stage a public break-up, a la other celebrity couples that have split amicably.
OUCH! | Amy finally snaps at Karma, calling out her BFF/secret crush on her narcissistic tendencies and obsession with Liam. This prompts Karma to apologize (via the school's video announcements) and promise (privately, in person) that she would spend the rest of her life making it up to Amy — only they have to break up as a couple and go back to being best friends.
THE FORECAST | The strong winds ahead might be what give Amy the final push she needs to declare her feelings for Karma during the upcoming finale.
ShipShape_KarmaLiam_DW
THE COUPLE | Faking It's Karma and Liam
THE LATEST | Liam tells Karma he doesn't want to break up "Hester's cutest couple" and that he's tired of all the drama.
AWW! | When Karma comes to Liam's feelings tent and apologizes, he tells her that he wanted to be the reason she and Amy broke up — because he now has feelings for her.
THE FORECAST | If the roiling storm clouds that frame Karma and Liam's horizontal mambo aren't enough of a give away, expect stormy seas ahead as a love-struck Liam crashes Amy's mom's wedding in the next episode.
ShipShape_Melissa&Joey_DW
THE COUPLE | Melissa & Joey's Melissa and Joey
THE LATEST | Joe's sister has a few too many to drink at Mel's bachelorette party, leading her to reveal that Joe has a daughter he knows nothing about.
OUCH! | Following Joe's touching vows (that stress on honesty, no less) Mel has no other option but to let the 13-year-old cat out of the bag.
THE FORECAST | Consider this wedding rained out — at least until Mel and Joe deal with this new piece of information.
ShipShape_FinnClarke_DW
THE COUPLE | The 100's Finn and Clarke
THE LATEST | After they escape a Reaper attack, Finn tells Clarke he loves her...
OUCH! | ... only for Clarke to tell him she's sorry, but he broke her heart. Gunfire at the camp cuts their confessions conversation short.
THE FORECAST | It doesn't look like this duo will get a chance to really talk it out, so it looks like things will remain foggy for the foreseeable future.
