With three time travel series currently on the air, they’re trumped by horror shows, with American Horror Story, The Exorcist, Scream Queens, From Dusk Till Dawn, Scream and Ash vs. Evil Dead all making a showing this week.
The CW schedule filled up with returning favorites including Jane the Virgin and The Vampire Diaries (for its final season!), but it was quotes from Scorpion and Bull that really made an impact.
Scorpion Collins: The water doesn’t lie still, but the water still lies. Add fifty and your answer will be revealed.
(CBS/Erik Voake) Bull Bull: Callisto isn’t a who. Callisto is a where, geographically situated in west Texas, population 25,000, but in the legal world it’s located somewhere between the sixth and seventh circles of Hell.
(CBS/Best Possible Screen Grab) Jane the Virgin Jane: We talked about who would take out the trash and when we would have another baby, not what I should do if there was a bullet near his spine. I don’t know what the right answer is.
Alba: There isn’t a right answer. Only what Michael would do. And you are his wife. You know him better than anyone.
(The CW) Ash vs. Evil Dead Ash: You’re the one that grew up your entire life looking for that book and you never found it. Me on the other hand, can’t fart without tripping over that thing, and I fart a lot!

New Debbie: I’m a boy.
Frank: You need a haircut, Debs.

Amanda: Boiling a rabbit?
(ABC) Masters of Sex Helen: I wasn’t sad anymore ’cause when I turned around you and our baby girl were standing there. That’s when I knew how happy I was. How happy we’re gonna be. Just me, you, and sweat pea… a family. Aren’t we lucky?

(FOX) Timeless Rufus: Anthony is the victim here, he was kidnapped. He doesn’t need us questioning his loyalty; he needs us to save him.
(Sergei Bachlakov/NBC) Frequency Raimy: You know it’s not called babysitting when it’s your own kid, right?
Frank: Oh, really? I must have missed that in the book on parenting you wrote.
(Liane Hentscher/The CW) The Flash Harry: So when did you do it? After we returned to Earth-2?
Barry: Look, *Harry*, only a couple things are different.
Harry: Oh, I’m sure. NOT.
Cisco: Really? You guys are doing “not” on Earth-2 now?
Jesse: No. That’s all him.
(Bettina Strauss/The CW) Scream Billie: Can I help you?

(FX) Arrow Oliver: If Samson is building an army, then I’m going to need mine.
(Diyah Pera/The CW) Legends of Tomorrow Stein: With all due respect, Raymond, I think there’s a reason Mr. Tyler just naturally assumed I was in charge.
