Bella reconnects with an unsettled surfer dude she once dated, and she pleasantly discovers that he has matured and has goals beyond a life on the beach. Will this one work out? By the looks of it, no way! He is sure to be a freak of some kind. But the real mystery is who and what will Tommy bring to Bella's love life. That cat storyline has to be for a good reason!
Life @ 10pm
Zen is in and are you in for a shake, rattle and roll tonight! A massive earthquake sends the city into total chaos setting a killer free, they thought they put away. Crews and Reese track an escaped criminal after an earthquake strikes Los Angeles. Elsewhere, Ted is injured in the quake.
Numbers @ 10pm
Last week, Don discovered that Charlie now works for the LAPD as a consultant. Don also told Agent McGowan (the steely Keith Carradine) that he will leave the Bureau if Charlie isn't reissued a security clearance. That probably wouldn't upset McGowan too much since he seems to loathe Don, which will make his decision all the more interesting when he hands it down tonight. Meanwhile, Don assists a veteran FBI agent (Henry Winkler) track an elusive con man who has evaded capture for years.
Starter Wife @ 10pm
After spending last week's episode in hiding, Molly finds that her fortunes take a different — and somewhat suspicious — turn. The scheming Eve sets up a meeting between Molly and her agent husband, who is interested in Molly's work and insight into Hollywood. But is it too good to be true? Elsewhere, Joan pursues her interest in David Shea, despite the objections of her friends.

America's Next Top Model @ 8pm
It was kind of sad to see our dysfunctional Heather get the boot last week. Although, I have to admit, I was heavily annoyed when she made it to one go see and managed to be forty minutes late in a span of five hours.....geez girl get a grip! Watch as the final four models (Bianca, Chantal, Jenah and Saleisha) move into a home in Beijing and learn some Chinese history from J. Alexander and Twiggy. Then it's off to the Great Wall for a photo shoot directed by Tyra. Also, tension increases between Jenah and Bianca when Bianca gives her rival some bad advice during a challenge that requires the models to change a traditional Chinese dress to fit their own unique style.
Private Practice @ 9pm
In the wake of the romantic shufflings of the last few weeks, where are we? Cooper and Violet are out, as are Addison and Pete, while Sam and Naomi are back in. We'll see where their second-time-around fling goes tonight. And we'll see where last week's steamy Charlotte-Cooper tryst leads. Anywhere but a psychiatrist's couch (not Violet's!) would be a surprise, so expect Shonda Rhimes to begin shuffling again once the holiday lull (and the writers' strike) is over.
Gossip Girl @ 9pm
As Blair, Serena and their circle of family and friends celebrated Thanksgiving in the Big Apple, we Gossip Girl fans had a lot to be thankful for: flashbacks, fights and reconciliations. It was a rough Thanksgiving to say the least. I missed Chuck though.....he was MIA in all the action. Tonight, Serena's grandmother has much to say about the upcoming debutante ball, insisting that her reluctant granddaughter attend---and find a more suitable escort than Dan. Meanwhile, Nate accompanies Blair to the ball as her friend; and Jenny hopes to go to the upper-crust event, but her parents would rather she didn't.
Life @ 10pm
Good news....Life has been picked for a full season! If you haven't caught on yet- check it out. Tonight, the conclusion of the two-parter that began on Monday — Crews coaxes a personal confession out of the real Seybolt family killer, which finally allows him to clear his name. Of course, there's still the mystery of who set him up, and dang-it if Jack isn't harboring the one person who could clear the whole thing up. I love this puzzling show that will piece it all together bit by bit.

I'm not even sure what happened on Life last night. At First, it seemed like what happened was flat-out hate crime at a gas station against Persians, but further investigation revealed that the Persian victims--nice business students from USC--were drug dealers.
This made them targets for the gas station owner's son and his "surf rat" friends who live in a van. Up until this point, I was following along.
Then, they threw me the hot potato: the gas station owner was dating one of the young Persians and the son was jealous that the guy had good grades, a stable family and his hot mom's love. Life has taken all the most exciting things and thrown them together in a pretty obvious attempt to win people over but in the end, doesn't it come off as a little schizophrenic?

Dani started going to AA. Before the meeting, she's in a bar across the street (not a good start to your first AA meeting) and she meets a guy, Rick Larson, who is also at the meeting. When Rick goes up to talk at AA, he makes comments that lead Dani to believe that he might have raped someone.
Dani makes a pretty large leap to reach this conclusion, but she turns out to be right. Dani and Charlie track down Larson's victim and use her testimony to put the guy behind bars, but he posts bail and comes to Dani's house. Once there, he steals her gun and makes her drink half a bottle of vodka at gunpoint, although it's not really clear what his plan was after getting her really drunk. Maybe he wanted her to die of alcohol poisoning?
I find Dani to be a really interesting character. She goes to AA, she did a lot of drugs, she lost her boyfriend and her job as a result of her addictions. It's going to be interesting to see if these elements get swept under the rug or continue to be present throughout the show's season.
