Tonight

Tuesday
Face Off (9PM, SYFY)
This episode is the “Frightful Fiction Challenge”, where the contestants mash up literary classics with spooks and ghouls. Sort of like Graverobbin’son Crusoe, or Franny & Zooey Meet the Wolfman.
Zoo (9PM, CBS)

Also, unbeknownst to the rest of the team, Mitch reconnects with his terminally ill daughter in Boston as he prepares to make a trade with Reiden-Global to save her life”
Well, it’s cramped and awkwardly framed, but they filmed that clip on a real boat! Have to respect Zoo’s level of authenticity for their Massachusetts killer rat episode.

As Will’s empathy for Dolarhyde begins to affect his fragile psyche, Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson) warns that the killer Will should be most concerned about at the moment is himself.
