Fans of Ted and Linda on Better Off Ted may be a little disappointed to learn that the couple will still be kept apart by the love triangle involving their beautiful boss, Veronica.

According to the show's star, Jay Harrington told E! Online, "Linda and Ted try to figure out if it's right for them, and Veronica puts in her two cents, which usually adds up to 20 cents."

Though Jay offered us the hilarious insight into the future of the season saying, "I just lost my identity, and then we have a fight club that happens in the basement for Phil and Lem, but it's medieval. There are a lot of knaves and knights and princesses. Rose is out of town, so Ted gets involved. It's some pretty funny stuff."

On this week's third season finale, Sylar died. For the most part.

Nathan also died. Kind of.

Now, the pair share one body, as Sylar has been brainwashed to believe he's actually Nathan. Following along? Adrian Pasdar is, and he's thrilled with the direction of the show.

"Zach's not done," the actor told TV Guide. "There's Nathan, there's Sylar, and there's the point of view that you have to factor in. If I look up into the mirror, who would I see?"

Looking down the line, the storyline sets up an epic internal battle between Nathan and Sylar next season.

"Who's going to be able to control the actions of the body?" Pasdar asked. "Like one of those computers that self-teaches, the longer he stays in my body and the longer he assimilates my physical structure and DNA, the more control I get. So it becomes a battle of who's in charge."

Last night’s episode of The Hills, with the foreshadowing title of "I Always Had a Little Crush," further solidified the incestuous tendencies of the SoCal crew we know and love.

Only we're not sure how to feel about it.

It all went down when the girls went to Hawaii to surprise Brody, Frankie, Doug, and someone dude called Sleazy T, who had all traveled to Hawaii for a bros' weekend.

What happened next? Well, you can imagine. Or ...

While many of its viewers have likely never heard of the Rat Pack, American Idol will feature songs by these singers from the 60s tonight. Here's what else will air in primetime...

• 8:00 p.m. The top five perform on American Idol (Fox)? LL Cool J and Chris O'Donnell appear on NCIS (CBS); Sam gets a tutor on Reaper (The CW).

• 10:00 p.m. Claire is robbed on Cupid (ABC).

If a show hypes a season finale, but no one turns out to watch it, did the episode actually air? ABC and NBC are both asking that question today.

At 9 p.m., last night's installment of Heroes averaged 6.4 million viewers, as the ending of the third season didn't attract any more eyeballs than last week's episode.

Meanwhile, an hour earlier, Chuck played to 6.1 million faithful fans, also the same figure as last week.

Among other primetime pickings:

• Another injury, another big night for Dancing With the Stars: 19.4 million viewers.

• Two and a Half Men (14.1 million) dominated among adults between the ages of 18-49.

• House (11.4 million) is running about 25 percent behind last year.

• Ouch. Gossip Girl (2 million) gets 100 times more attention than viewers.

• The Big Bang Theory (9.3 million) and How I Met Your Mother (8.9 million) were strong.
