Sookie's been seeing visions of her and Eric getting — ahem — friendly. Will their romance actually progress, not just in her head? "I can definitely tell you [we'll see that] in the show. I don't know if it will necessarily be in Season 3. Of course they're going to come together, it's fated. It's not something that's going to happen right off the bat."

Castle:
You're afraid that if you look in to your mother's death, that you will go back down that rabbit hole and lose yourself again.
But it's different this time. We have good leads. We have strong leads. And you won't have to do it alone. We can do it together.

Beckett:
What if i don't want To know? Did you ever think of that? What if i'm not ready?
What if the idea of catching my mom's murderer and then having to sit there and watch as he cuts some deal that puts him back out on the street in ten years makes me nauseous?
You dredged up my past for you, castle, not for me. And you're too selfish to even see it.
The case is closed, Castle. We made a deal, and i expect you to honor it.

Castle:
I'm sorry. What i did was wrong.
I violated your trust, I opened old wounds and i did not respect your wishes.
And if we're not gonna see each oth again, then you deserve to know...I'm very, very sorry.

"Charlie and Amita are one of the few couples on TV who are actually together and stay together for the most part," Rawat says. "They're a pretty solid unit. I think it's just a matter of figuring things out between them, and there's still some stuff that needs to be worked through."

JH: The Sloan/Lexie story is also something that really seemed to click last year. What's in store for them this season?

KV: I love to watch that relationship and I think that that relationship is ripe with obstacle. What I love with those characters and the actors (Chyler Leigh plays Lexie) is that they constantly surprise me because they are both comedy gold. They both also constantly surprise me with their ability to illuminate emotional truth and they have, as actors, really deepened the material that we have given them. I love that there is an age difference between them and that's not something we have played before on our show and that gives us a really real thing that people deal with. "OK, I love this person but can I make a life work with them because we're at different places in our lives?" But I think Lexie brings out colors we haven't seen in Mark and vice versa. They're going to be up against struggles, for sure, but I think it's going to be really fun to see how they face them.

I like to think of myself as a fairly plugged-in individual, but I have to admit I had no clue Friday Night Lights‘ Adrianne Palicki and Dollhouse’s Alan Tudyk were a couple. At least I had no clue until they strolled into Entertainment Weekly’s pre-Emmy party last night hand-in-hand. Well, good for them. And good for me since it meant I got two spoilery interviews for the price of one! Speaking of which, if you want to know when Tyra and Alpha are returning to FNL and Dollhouse respectively, there’s some embedded video with your name on it after the jump…
