As we enter the last leg of the season, plot twists piling up on all sides, you can do one of two things: You can let the tension get to you and bite your nails down to nubs, or you can make fun of the suspense by trying to guess what’s going to happen to whom. Of course, you don’t have to guess which option I’m in favor of. As you will see below, I went ahead and compiled a by-the-numbers list of almost-spoilers — all of which take place within the next two weeks. Now it’s your turn. Connect the dots to answer your own burning questions. I’ll even give you a (big) hint: At least one incident from the list pertains to the finales of each of the following shows: Desperate Housewives, 30 Rock, House, Ugly Betty, The Office, CSI: NY, Smallville, Supernatural, How I Met Your Mother, Prison Break, Lost, Gossip Girl, 90210, Grey’s Anatomy, 24, and Bones. Mind you, in spite of appearances to the contrary, I can’t know everything, so there may be a surprise or three that isn’t mentioned below. But this rundown ought to be comprehensive enough to keep you up nights. Enjoy! FYI: The events apply to regular or recurring characters, not random guest stars. Also, the chart will be continually updated to ID the person (or people) connected to each milestone shortly after said milestone takes place. In other words, beware of spoilers!

Think you can match the season-ending events with the shows they take place on? Take your best shot in the comments section! Oh, and you shouldn’t necessarily read anything into the photo collage above. There could be some clever misdirection at work there.

Please please please tell me this Prison Break spoiler is not true
http://spoilertv-prisonbreak.blogspot.com/2009/05/major-spoilers-about-end-of-prison.html
OMG I would be heartbroken
So, are we to believe that neither of the characters who are institutionalized are “regular or recurring characters, not random guest stars?”
So- it is not House going to the NJ hosptial????
I am really hoping that the pregnancy isn’t on House. Cuddy being pregnant would be really wrong. Could you imagine having House as a father? The poor kid will need to start therapy in utero.
Well Lynette (of DH) is pregnant. Been known for weeks now.
as long as cuddy isnt pregnant on house i think we’ll all be happy
however anything could happen tonight!
I assume the “time jump” mentioned is probably a “one year later” thing? And not a reference to something crazy on LOST with a character literally giving birth while time traveling? And speaking of LOST, is there still a major death remaining? And is that death a character from season 1 (I heard that at some point somewhere) or just a major character (which could include someone like Juliet)?
THAT HAD BETTER NOT BE TRUE!

**Devastating**
My best guess for the returning former love is going to be the gardener in Desperate Housewives; especially since we’ve learned that a prominent character from the first season is coming back in the season finale.

well duh mer-der get married. ?? is how long is the wedding scene they get? 50 seconds or 10 secs?
lynette being pregnant? that annoys me .
are they killing off dana delany?
I only watch House, nothing else, so hard to say for me what might happen on other shows – but concerning House I can say: as long as it involves Huddy and Chameron being over soon I’m fine with pretty much anything. I doubt there’s really going to be a wedding, and I doubt even more that Cuddy’s pregnant, just the thought is too ridiculous. That would be 100% soap opera, so exactly what DS always claims he does NOT want. One thing I’m rather sure about: “Number of characters institutionalized: 2″ -> House is one of them, if not the spoilers and the filming location for the beginning of season 6 were really really misleading. Anyway, can’t wait to see what will happen on House!
Looking forward to House
The hottest celeb videos in http://www.actressscene.com
grdngrl, I think it’s exactly the opposite. The characters institutionalized are either regular or recurring, but not random guest stars.
Michael, have you seen the new Lost Promo?
http://spoilerslost.blogspot.com/2009/05/episode-516517-incident-sky-one-promo.html
Can you tell me if Juliet is safe.. PLEASE!!!
7 deaths! Wow, ok let’s count.
CSI NY
SVU
Greys? (Izzie?)
24 (Someone has to die!)
Prison Break
Who else? Does Kutner count?
http://tvdonewright.com/2009/05/11/tv-tonight-monday-may-11th-2009/
I think Callie’s pregnant with Sloane’s baby on GA
I hope Cristina/Owen are pregnant on GA. Mer/Der get married.
Someone dies on GA and Ugly Betty. Someone is pregnant on CSI:NY.
I hope neither Chase/Cameron nor House/Cuddy get married on House and neither Cameron nor Cuddy are pregnant or that’s it for me. Taub’s wife can be pregnant if someone has to be.
I watch Bones and I think that of the above, those belong to the BEST show ever:
Number of positive pregnancy tests
Number of couples (maybe) having sex for the first time
Number of first-time love confessions
Number of characters sent directly to jail (or taken into custody)
OMG, 3 more days to wait… why is the time passing this slow???
The time jump baby born will be Michael and Sara’s in Prison Break
i’m also hoping that it won’t be Cuddy from “House” that’s pregnant. Although, with as much as David Shore likes to make us suffer, it could be turned into something devistating like Cuddy losing the baby. We know she has had issues in the past with carrying a child to term.
and maybe i missed something, but i’m confussed. “Ghost Whisperer” was tagged at the top, but it wasn’t on the list in the article itself. so was the tag a typo, or did he mean to put it in with the list of other shows? *confussed*
PLEASE tell me that the HIMYM scoop has to deal with the “Number of first-time love confessions”!!!!
NCIS – Tony goes to jail for killing Rivkin and tells Ziva he loves her
Scientology LMAO!
Regarding Bones: well definitely Brennan and Booth are having sex for the first time… we know that much… I also wonder if they will be one of the couples confessing their love. Also guessing Cyndi Lauper could be on Bones because it’s already been reported she has an arc next season… maybe it starts early?
I’d guess a death goes to Clark (because it’s Doomsday, duh). More death goes to Supernatural. I think Bobby’s gonna fall because he’s stuck in between the Boys, if they don’t kill each other first.
Please tell me Juliet is ok
((((

> Scientology LMAO!
That was my reaction exactly. *g*
What’s with the zero for converting to Scientology? Personally I would kill for Liz Lemon to at least fake it…
Cyndi Lauper is going to be on 30 Rock. Saw it on her website.
