Spoiler alert! We're about to dig into the biggest moments from Thursday night's TV. If you haven't yet watched a particular show and don't want to be spoiled, skip to the next!

The Vampire Diaries: And yet another shipping army has to witness the loss of their beloved couple. After Caroline (Candice Accola) asked Tyler (Michael Trevino) to choose between her and his quest to get revenge on Klaus (Joseph Morgan), her man chose revenge and the two parted ways. Mourners to the right, rejoicers to the left. So sounds like Tyler is headed to New Orleans, eh? See you on The Originals, you handsome man. And then there was that other big reveal in the episode: someone has a long-lost daughter! For more information on that shocking plot twist, you can read our exclusive interview with said daughter right here.

Grey's Anatomy: Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) and Callie (Sara Ramirez) continue down their rocky relationship road by getting in an argument over who will be taking their daughter trick-or-treating. They managed to be civil with each other at Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) Halloween party, but in a just-for-our-child kind of way. But Leah (Tessa Ferrer) and Arizona seem to moving along nicely with a sexy sleepover that unfortunately led to Leah taking off so she doesn't appear needy. Arizona told you to stay, girl! Listen to your heart next time. Or your other parts. Giggity. Also a patient who thought he was a zombie bit a chunk out of Leah's shoulder, so not a great Halloween for that poor girl.

Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd) bonded over an unusual surgery, so that's a step forward for those two, albeit a small one. But Cristina's other relationship is still at a standstill. Meredith basically throws Cristina a pity invite to her Halloween party, and even though Cristina doesn't think her former best friend means it, she shows up anyway. She doesn't tell Meredith, but her presence is revealed after she leaves via the cupcakes Cristina dropped off. Perhaps a sweet little olive branch is being extended?

Jo (Camilla Luddington) shows up at Alex's (Justin Chambers) doorstep and apologizes for pushing him toward his dad, and just when you think he's going to slam the door in her Tinkerbell face, he pulls her inside. And finally, Ben (Jason George) returns to announce he quit his residency! Say whaa? Obviously, Bailey (Chandra Wilson) is pissed that he didn't tell her before making that big decision.

Scandal: Holy mother! This will not help Olivia (Kerry Washington) fall in love with Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) all over again. Huck (Guillermo Diaz) and Jake (Scott Foley) uncover a video that proves Fitz was not part of the Iran mission he claimed he flew in all those years ago. Where was he? After some proverbial head scratching, chin stroking and whatnot, Huck comes up with one location: Iceland, at the exact same time that a 747 carrying over 300 passengers mysteriously crashed. Fishermen claimed they saw flares, suggesting that someone  caused the plane to crash. And guess whose name was on the passenger list of the plane that crashed? Maya Lewis, aka, Olivia's mother! So, which one of you guys is going to tell Liv that little piece of information? Not it!

But they better tell her quick, because Mellie (Bellamy Young) gave Olivia an impassioned speech about how Fitz and his campaign need her. So even though Olivia was being lured over to Josie Marcus' (Lisa Kudrow) campaign, Ms. Pope slipped back on a "Grant for President" tee and started looking over old photos from their previous campaign. Wonder what she's going to do now that her lover might also be her mother's murderer?

ReignWell, that was fast. Mary (Adelaide Kane), desperate to send troops to help Scotland, finds herself accepting the King of Portugal's son Tomas' proposal by episode's end, even after sharing her first kiss with Prince Francis (Toby Regbo). Hey, there's no room for romance at the French Court! As for her other suitor, Bash (Torrance Combs)? He's only bleeding to death after being attacked. No big deal! For scoop on what's ahead, check out our interview with the executive producers.

Line of the Night: "He's not alive; he can't breathe when you're not here. He needs you, so I need you."—Mellie to Olivia about Fitz on Scandal
