Finally. This is the Hellcats I have been waiting for all season.

After a so-so episode last week, the freshman series returned with an installment filled with scandals, surprises, and secrets. Let’s discuss.

Hello Emily! Girl knows how to make an entrance. Red’s ex-wife showed up on the scene and wasted no time making her ex and Vanessa uncomfortable.

I love these two together and having Emily back in the picture can only make for some more drama. I wouldn’t mind seeing how the couple’s relationship folded out years ago. Vanessa is right though, Em wants to bury them.

Alice was back with her attitude and gut punching one liners and it felt good. Although the caring Alice is sweet, we can not lose the resident mean girl. Lewis and her seem to have found their way back to a friendly point. Am I sensing a hook up before season’s end?

The Honor Court situation brought together most of the key characters, but honestly, I could have done without it. Sure, it is nice seeing Marti in lawyer mode and Savannah and Lewis’ friendship. But nothing happened. I mean nothing. The possible consequences were to lose two of the best members; the outcome - nothing of importance.

The only good thing about it? Welcoming back Julian Parrish.

Hellcats went ahead and pulled a Vampire Diaries. "Before I Was Caught” was a solid hour with it’s best scene starting at the very end of the episode. Julian and Marti finally gave into their flirting and hooked up. This was HOT! Mulian? Jarti?

Whatever it is, I don’t care. I wan’t more of it. This pairing may be the first real chemistry between a couple on the show. 

Some side notes...

• The new Athletic Director means business. Things are not looking so good for Red Raymond right now.
• The benefit performance - not the best of the season, possibly the worst. It was super weird, right?
• Hellcats has not been renewed for a second season yet. If you want that to happen, make sure you check out the final episodes of the season!

So what did you think, TV Fanatics? Excited about Marti & Julian? Miss Wanda tonight? Sound off and let us know what you thought of “Before I Was Caught."
